PS4 / PS5
Hogwarts Legacy needs one main character for exploration, collections and quests, plus three shorter routes with the other houses. These are not four complete campaigns: house trophies stop at discovering the Map Chamber. During your first run, track enemy types hit with Ancient Magic and unlock required spells before forcing puzzles that are not yet solvable. This roadmap organises the extensive cleanup by category, separating collections, challenges, side quests and other-house characters.
Base-game trophy roadmap. Expansions and additional trophy groups are separate from the platinum.
- Required difficulty: Story difficulty is valid for trophies.
- Missable trophies: The four house trophies require separate characters.
- Online: No multiplayer trophy is required for the platinum.
Choose one character for extensive completion
Your initial house provides one of four Map Chamber trophies, but should not make you split every collection between characters. Use one main save for story, relationships and level forty. Reserve other slots for missing houses. Clearly identifying the main character prevents searching for a quest or collectible on the wrong save after many sessions.
- Dedicate one character to collections, relationships and story completion.
Open content through spells and Alohomora
If a puzzle needs a spell you do not know, mark it and continue professor assignments. For tougher locks, complete Alohomora’s progression tied to Demiguise statues. Returning once with the necessary tools is more practical than repeatedly checking one door. Unforgivable Curses are not mandatory for the spell-learning trophy.
- Unlock assignment spells and raise Alohomora to the level needed for cleanup.
Track Ancient Magic targets
Finishing Touches requires Ancient Magic on enemy types rather than a generic number of attacks. Use it on a new variant when available and note the target. Do not confuse it with ordinary attacks or simply throwing objects. A list of covered types is more useful than randomly repeating every camp when the counter remains unfinished.
- Use Ancient Magic on new enemy types and mark them individually.
Finish relationships and quests before final collections
The Good Samaritan, Natsai’s, Poppy’s and Sebastian’s chains and broom races have different progressions. Use the journal to finish outstanding chains before the major collection circuit: they may open areas or provide collection rewards. Collector’s Edition concerns the Collections section; check challenge rewards too instead of assuming every gathered page automatically completes the required register.
- Finish quests and relationships, then compare the Collections section.
Organise trials, beasts and crafting by category
Use separate sessions for Merlin Trials, dungeons, Floo Flames and Demiguise statues: each trophy checks its own set. In the vivarium, check which beasts need breeding for The Nature of the Beast and distinguish breeding from merely capturing them. Use pots and stations for required plants and potions, verifying one recipe at a time. This turns a huge list into smaller, checkable tasks.
- Compare each category and verify plants, potions and breeding in their menus.
Bring the other three houses to the Map Chamber
Once the main save has its house trophy, create the three missing characters and reach the Map Chamber discovery with each. The trophy does not unlock merely by choosing a house at the ceremony: you must reach the required story point. Check the unlock before setting that character aside, and avoid collecting everything again when only the house trophy remains.
- Earn the Map Chamber trophy for all four houses.
Trophies to watch
The Toast of the Town
Find the Map Chamber as a Slytherin
Choose Slytherin on a character and continue to the Map Chamber discovery; the ceremony alone is insufficient.
Collector's Edition
Complete all collections
Compare Collections and challenge rewards to identify the precise missing category.
Finishing Touches
Use Ancient Magic on every enemy in the game
Track types hit by actual Ancient Magic, not merely types already defeated.
The Root of the Problem
Stun 10 different enemies using a Mandrake
Prepare Mandrakes and use them on different enemy types; repeating one type does not add variety.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need four complete campaigns?
No. One covers extensive completion; the other three characters need to reach the Map Chamber discovery for their house.
Must I learn Unforgivable Curses?
They are not required for the platinum. Make your preferred narrative choices rather than treating them as mandatory for the spell trophy.
Why does a puzzle seem impossible to solve?
First check unlocked spells and Alohomora’s level. Several activities are best tackled after obtaining the appropriate tools.
