In Hogwarts Legacy chests with an eye are a kind of mini-puzzle, the solution of which allows you to get a considerable amount of gold. These chests can be found in different parts of Hogwarts and Hogsmeade. In this guide, we will tell you where to find these unusual objects and what you need to do to open them.
How to open the eye chest in Hogwarts Legacy
Shortly after arriving at the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, you may stumble upon your first chest with an eye. As you approach him, you will notice that his magical eye is watching your every move, preventing you from opening the lid. You can try to sneak up on him, but that won't work.
To quietly approach such a chest, you must first use deillumination spell, which can make the wizard invisible. After applying the spell, start slowly approaching the desired object in stealth mode until a button appears to open it - immediately click on it and take the contents. The gif below shows the whole process.
If a big-eyed chest has noticed you, then it does not make sense to use invisibility, since it will not allow you to approach it anyway. You will need to move away from him a considerable distance, wait until he goes into normal mode, and only then use a charm or potion.
How to learn the Deillumination Spell
Sebastian, a Slytherin student, can teach you him as part of the main task. "Secrets of the Restricted Section", access to which opens already in the first half of the game. By the way, it is in this quest that you will most likely open your first chest with an eye.
If you are headlong into completing side missions and activities, and have not yet studied these spells, then you can use them instead invisibility potion, which works on the same principle as the spell. True, the elixir recipe costs 500-800 gold coins. Plus, you will need to collect or acquire certain materials, so we strongly discourage you from using potions to open these chests often.
What lies inside the chest with the eye
Unlike most other treasure chests, which contain randomized gear, collectibles, and other items, eye chests always contain 500 gold coins.
Thus, finding and opening them can be a good way to quickly accumulate capital at the beginning of the game, when you will constantly lack money to buy potions, new recipes, equipment, and the like in shops.
