Legendary chests in Hogwarts Legacy: how to find the best gear

In Hogwarts Legacy Legendary Chests are a special type of storage from which you can get guaranteed legendary equipment, which is the best in the game. In this guide, we will tell you where to find all these chests, when to open them, and how to get the type of equipment you need.

Legendary equipment in Hogwarts Legacy

What does the best gear look like?

We are talking about extremely rare items that can be easily distinguished from other things in the inventory by a bright orange background. Not only can they significantly increase Defense, Health or Offense (compared to other pieces of equipment of a similar level), but they also allow you to set Level 3 Stats, which are the most powerful in the game.

Thus, if you want to unleash the full potential of your character's combat potential, then you will need to equip him with legendary equipment, and then improve these clothes using the Loom in the Help Room.

Note: Some orange items may be unknown, meaning you will know their type but not see their stats. To identify a thing, you will need to take it to the Help-room and study it on a special table.

How to get the best stuff

There are three main ways to get legendary items in the game. The first of them is associated with the opening of any ordinary chests, with the exception of collectible chests (small caskets), from which a rare item can drop with a small probability. Not the most convenient method, because even with save-load it can take you a lot of time to get the desired thing.

The second way involves buying legendary items in the store. You can definitely buy them from the owner of the Cap of Invisibility located in Hogsmeade. However, you should be prepared for the high cost of these gizmos. In addition, they scale based on your level, and the vendor's inventory is randomly generated. For this reason, we do not advise you to buy this equipment as a low-level hero.

The third method involves finding and opening legendary chests - they are large and have a beautiful pattern (see screenshot below). In them you are guaranteed to find an orange item that is randomly selected by the game. For this reason, we recommend that you make sure to save before opening such a chest, so that you can then load the save and try your luck again if you do not like the equipment that has dropped before.

Note that these chests may drop items that are sold in the clothing store. As in the trading shop, they are tied to the level of the protagonist. So we highly recommend that you do not open these vaults in the first half of the game, otherwise the items obtained from them will very soon be surpassed by less rare items.

We advise you to take up the opening of these chests for about 18-25 level. We add that in Hogwarts Legacy there are no tasks, treasures or puzzles that allow you to get the best set of equipment. Therefore, it is the search for legendary chests that can be considered the most reliable method of obtaining the best equipment at Hogwarts.
