Ancient Magic holds an important place in the world of Harry Potter. In the novels, Ancient Magic is a very old, mysterious, and potent form of magic. It was last used in the late 1800s. Those in the present-day wizarding world who can perceive and wield this magic are considered rare.
This form of magic is featured in the “Harry Potter”-inspired RPG, “Hogwarts Legacy,” set during those times. To experience wielding Ancient Magic, you must find the Ancient Magic Hotspots during your Exploration Challenges.
Aside from boosting your Ancient Magic Meters, completing them will also give you rewards such as the Challenge Accepted trophy or achievement. But, finding these Hotspots isn’t as easy as A-B-C. Read this guide to know where to find all Ancient Magic Hotspots in “Hogwarts Legacy.”
