So ready your wand, potions, and plenty of creature food – it‘s time for a magical adventure!
Unlock Beast Taming in Hogwarts Legacy
Your journey with mythical beasts starts early at Hogwarts, in the appropriately named "Beast Class."
By completing main story quests leading up to the Room of Requirement, you‘ll gain access to Beast Class with Professor Onai. She‘ll introduce you to essential concepts like feeding, grooming, and understanding creature behaviors.
You‘ll also befriend fellow students like Poppy Sweeting who share advice on caring for Puffskeins and Kneazles. These lessons set the foundation for later beast mastery.
Rescue Beasts in the Wild
The real action begins when you meet a quirky house elf named Deek. He‘ll escort you to remote wildlife areas perfect for finding fantastic beasts.
Here, Deek instructs you on special beast rescue spells like Nab-Sack to safely capture creatures in enchanted sacks. You may need to use magic like Levioso to restrain pegasus and other airborne animals.
When targeting beasts, watch for prompts to activate your sacks and restraints. It may take a few tries to overcome stronger creatures. But with practice, you‘ll fill your inventory with remarkable finds from the forest and mountains.
Unlock the Vivarium
Upon returning to Hogwarts, Deek introduces the ultimate reward: your personal Vivarium room. This space allows you to safely store rescued beasts as pets.
You can visit the Brood and Peck shop at Hogsmeade to purchase creature food, toys, and supplies. Keep your pets happy by frequently feeding and grooming them. Affectionate beasts even provide specialty ingredients for crafting gear!
As your menagerie grows, various Vivarium environments become available. Read on to learn more about these exotic realms.
