How do I tame beasts in Hogwarts Legacy?
During the main story quest “The Elf, the Nab-sack, and the Loom,” the house elf Neek will teach you how to capture magical beasts and care for them in your Vivariums.
When you’re exploring the Highlands in Hogwarts Legacy, you’ll run into beast dens that’ll can have anywhere from one to four magical beasts roaming around. You’ll want to switch to the Nab-sack spell into your hotbar, and use the associated key to begin the capturing process. As the ring fills up, press the button that appears on the screen until you successfully tame the beast.

How do I breed beasts in Hogwarts Legacy?
:format(webp):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24430940/HogwartsLegacy_CxCgG7HnSl.jpg)
First, you’ll need to complete the side quest “Foal of the Dead” which is given to you by Deek in the Room of Requirement. Next, you’ll need a breeding pen which can be bought from Tomes and Scrolls in Hogsmeade for 1,000 gold galleons. Head back to your Vivariums, and place the breeding pen by using the Conjuration spell. Interact with the pen to choose which animals you’d like to breed, and wait 30 minutes for your egg to hatch.
You can also choose which pair you’d like to breed if you have multiples of each gender. After you interact with the breeding pen, hover over the species you’d like to breed and press the button labeled as “Choose breeding pair.” Simply choose which magical beasts you’d like to breed and wait the 30 minutes for your new offspring! However, offsprings do not grow up in Hogwarts Legacy, so they’ll stay young forever.
How to get shiny beasts in Hogwarts Legacy?
:format(webp):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24430850/shinybeasts.png)
Similar to Pokémon, you can find shiny magical beasts in Hogwarts Legacy. When hunting for shinies, look out for the star next to the beasts’ name at the top of the screen. The magical beasts will also differentiate in color, but it can be difficult to tell when many of them already do come in different colors. Follow our step-by-step walkthrough on how to easily get shiny magical beasts below.
- Travel to a magical beast den.
- Look for any shiny magical beasts, and if there aren’t any, capture all of the beasts that are currently at the den to reset it.
- Change the time of day by opening your map and pressing the “F” button on PC or the right analog stick on console.
- Create a new save state.
- Load the manual save, and check the den again for new animals.
- Repeat steps 2 – 5 in hopes for new shiny beasts.
If you have two shiny beasts of the opposite gender, you can also breed a shiny offspring.
If you’re looking for another challenge after taming all of the beasts in Hogwarts Legacy, try collecting all of the brooms and Demiguise statues.
