I Solved Hogwarts Legacy's Darkest Mysteries

I've spent the past several days solving some of hogwart's legacy's darkest Secrets take for example this treasure Vault just north of clag more castle inside you'll find a cloaked figure crumpled on the ground as you approach you may notice the Moss overtaking the body but it's the note beside this figure a note containing just one word that will send a chill down your spine there are actually 11 characters similar to this one Wizards and witches who met an untimely end in their Ventures across the Scottish Highlands in this video I'll reveal all the locations as well as any related notes or letters left behind and I'll also attempt to piece together exactly how these characters died rello the official Hogwarts Legacy Channel actually put out this challenge to us fans months ago as an opportunity for exploration and Discovery there are 11 NPCs in the open world who each died in mysterious ways with notes that tell each of their unique stories see if you can find them all surprisingly as I was researching for this video I found no comprehensive list there were bits and pieces here and there especially in the early days of the game as fans stumbled across these NPCs usually in shock at what they found perhaps even more surprisingly though this 11 does not include the tragic fate of TOS the house elf nor does it count the grizzly demise of the spider breeding Mary Portman no we're talking 11 NPCs unrelated to major or even minor story quest lines and even with nearly 200 hours of Total play time in Legacy I had personally missed quite a few of these so here are the stories of 11 witches and wizards whose tragic Fates show a much darker side of the Wizarding World in the hamlet of krack Croft you can find a letter on the notice board just outside of town it's labeled as the crack coft love letter in your inventory with a date of September 21st 1871 in the letter A Man by the name of William laments being away from his darling Susan he lets her know he plans to be in London for at least 3 more months but hopes to be home for Christmas he's also quite fond of her mother's trial Tarts tragically William and Susan's story does not end with a happily ever after to discover William's fate you'll need to travel west of Kenbridge where you'll come to an inconspicuous cave there's a Whirlpool at the end of the path and Diving through this pool leads you to a body William's body his body rests in the mud with his travel supplies nearby beside him is the final entry in a diary which gives us a bit more context into how he may have died my beloved the Moon is not yet full yet such is my family's fear that they have sent me away prematurely I am frightened as a wolf I am powerful but before the Moon is round I am merely human Merlin knows what beasts I may encounter in my present form it does no good to dwell upon it I hope I last this night and will be in your arms before long William with hogwart's Legacy taking place in the late 1800s William would have had little hope for a cure the wolfbane potion which only helps to relieve the symptoms of lycanthropy wasn't invented until sometime after the 1970s by democles BBY who happened to be a student of horse slug horn at Hogwarts while Williams body doesn't contain any visible wounds we can see his clothes have been ripped and torn perhaps he was attacked by one of the many beasts he feared in his diary or maybe he could never bring himself to leave the cave and died of thirst or starvation either way it's clear he and Susan never got the future that they were hoping for one of the most fearsome creatures in all of the Wizarding World would have to be the Basilisk breeding them would actually land you a lifelong sentence and as command just so happens a significant portion of the plot in Hogwarts Legacy deals heavily with poaching activities and the illegal breeding of certain unauthorized creatures such as acromantula and yes even basilisks if you stop by the daily profit stand in hogsmead you may come across the story about a Cornish wizard who was arrested for breeding basilisks he he pleaded ignorance and claimed that his chicken CS were Simply Irresistible to toads and while I don't think it's the same wizard mentioned in this Prophet article you actually can find the body of an illegal breeder and one that the ministry certainly had on their radar start by fast traveling to the tower tunnel Flo flamee located at the most Southeastern point of maren weam Lake from there start making your way back down the mountain until you spot an area blocked by the devil snare Roots cast lumos and make her way through to find our second victim as well as a couple of chickens and two empty cages nearby this letter is from the ministry of magic and is giving the individual advanced notice they'll soon be inspecting his chicken cop for any toads on the premises you see in the World of Harry Potter basilisks are created by hatching chicken eggs beneath a toad once the Basilisk hatches they're incredibly dangerous creatures looking indirectly into their eyes results in petrification a frozen state that can only be cured with a mandric restorative draft looking directly into the eyes of a basilisk however results in instant an death unless you're a ghost so it would seem this illegal breeder actually succeeded in hatching a basilisk and yet he didn't seem to take the proper precautions to avoid its deadly gaze whereas our last victim suffered the consequences of trying to perform a dangerous illegal activity for profit our next case is one who appears to have had only the best intentions in mind this tale begins at the West Hogwarts Valley flu flame head north from there flying above the cliffs until you come across a campsite with a wagon outside here you'll find not one but two dead bodies the first one is concealed whereas the second one is just beside the wagon surrounding the bodies are books a few plants potions and a number of other healing items the note here indicates the witch before us was actually a Healer attempting to cure a patient from a textbook case of dragon pox as noted by the typical symptoms such as Pock marked skin sneezing Sparks and a rash between the toes I have prescribed a second dose of the gors Cure but it may not be sufficient as such I have f further prescribed an Elixir to induce Euphoria to ease the patient's probable passing must sanitize my equipment highly contagious but even with the knowledge of the incredible risk of being around the disease and knowing how important it was to sanitize her equipment it appears she too contracted the disease and died only a few feet away from the very person she'd been trying to save the next body belongs to a poacher by the name of Smithy this location is accessed from within a poppy seding mission called poached egg as the two of you set out to return an egg belonging to a hiyan black dragon you'll see her fly overhead shortly after you pass directly under her you'll come across a large tree branch in your path jump over it take out the mongrels but then don't be too quick to leave the area straight ahead and just to the left of the wooden steps you'll find Smithy search him to find a letter from his poacher friend Angus Angus and his traveling companion Violet have moved away from the fighting ring Venture and are instead dealing an acromantulas the letter seems to end indicate there had been some form of previous correspondence between them as Angus seems to think Smithy was planning to join them as for a cause of death perhaps he was taken out by the very dragon that Poppy and our main character have saved but given the state of his clothes and the lack of any Scorch or burn marks my guess as Smithy superiors learned of his plans to leave and then decided he was just another loose end for their dragon fighting ring roughly halfway between the central Hogwarts Valley and a andure flu Flames you'll find a wooded area teaming with Fighters just off the path is our next victim wand still in hand he carries a letter of warning from one Gerald olivander it would appear the unnamed customer had previously written to olivander about whether or not he should continue using his late ants wand of course longtime fans of the series know the importance of the wand choosing the wizard this proves especially important in the series as Harry has to navigate through a significant portion of the final book without access to his own wand olivander seems particularly concerned about this case in hogwart's Legacy because it involves a wand made from acacia wood which he describes as being particularly temperamental given the area where we find this respected customer I'm left to believe he drew the wand and attempted to fight off the oncoming spiders instead of protecting him however the wand backfired and CA him his life so far these dark Mysteries have mainly consisted of accidents or dangerous activities taken too far but case number six is one of straight up murder a wizard named Hubert can be found near a waterfall just west of the poir castle flu flame we find a door completely detached from its hinge laying near the front of a small Stone shelter cauldron sits at the center with a large Scorch Mark extending out from it Hubert's body is behind the cauldron and on him is a letter to his friend deah in it he tells her about a series of pranks that he's recently been the victim of they started out small enough biting door knobs and pixies in his closet but after an unexpected Port key sent him to Cumbria Hubert began to fear the pranks had a more Sinister intent as such he wrote to the ministry with hopes they could inspect his house for jinxes now unfortunately for Hubert this inspection could actually take several days which means he needed a place to stay I shall be displaced for a while may I stay with you it will be just me and my trusty cauldron Hubert sadly for Hubert the very cauldron he mentions has been jinxed presumably by the Sinister prankster this of course results in the explosion and one that happens to be strong enough to blow the door off its hinges as well as leave this large burn mark as I can find no other body in the area it would seem that Hubert never made it to his friend Leah fortunate for her of all the deaths we've investigated so far this one may have the most mysterious cause of death and it's not only one body we find but three if you fly south from the West Manor Cape flu flame you'll pass a series of cracky faed Cliffs at first it may not appear as if there's anywhere to land but continue along the southwest side and you will eventually come to a small boat and a campsite along the shore there are two skeletal remains here next to the fire and a third closer to the boat and speaking of the boat it doesn't appear to have had a smooth Journey a few wooden boards have washed a Shore separate from it and it also looks like there may have been some sort of crash or explosion here the most mysterious part of the scene though has to be the shape of these large Scorch marks they're the ones over by the third body and is it just me or does this actually look like the Grim there's also a diary entry nearby that only leaves us with more questions the writings are clearly that of a witch or wizard fearing for their life after multiple perceived sightings of the Grim a well-known Omen of death in The Wizarding World the entry concludes with the writer stating my odds are slim but it's all I can think to do I must outrun the Grim we only have a handful of Clues to try and piece together what exactly happened here the tent fire bottles and cups indicate at least someone reached this area peacefully did our unknown riter make it here alone or were they traveling with companions perhaps in their state of extreme paranoia they stumbled upon two other Wizards and ended up in a fiery battle that left all of them dead would love to hear your theories on this one so let me know in the comments if you have any thoughts on what exactly happened here our next case leaves little doubt as to what caused the death of her victim by traveling Southwest from the North Ford bog flu flame and into the forest you should eventually find a small Stone Shack this one is up on a higher terrain so it's probably easier to reach traveling on your broom than on foot when you locate the Shack stand at the front door and walk over to the left side until you see a tree with some yellow flowers there's also a shovel near the base there you'll find the body of a man crumpled over with his hands over his ears his letter is from a witch named tasmina and in it she provides our unknown victim with a few pointers on how to become an animus now at first I actually thought this was a cruel joke and that tasmina had intentionally settled to murder this guy but these instructions actually do match what's on wizardingworld.com for becoming an animus unfortunately for our victim it appears that he missed tasmina postcript P.S don't forget cotton for your ears even though mandres are handled by students at Hogwarts as early as their second year they're typically working with younger mandres whose screams aren't yet fatal for fully grown adult mandres however their cries can be fatal to anyone who hears them without protection if there was any doubt at all about this Wizard's cause of death the three mandres just behind him can actually be picked up and added to your character's inventory if you've flown anywhere near the East Hogs meat Valley flu flame you may have noticed a few different pumpkin patches in the area our next victim rests in one of these fields as you make your way closer to the body you'll see a rather large burn mark on the ground as well as bits of pumpkins scattered about the area clearly there's been some kind of explosion that's taken the life of our downed victim the letter beside him which somehow managed to survive the explosion is written to from someone who appears to be a friend named jokasta Callum and jokasta are both fans of little pranks but it's seems Callum may have pushed too far with an old squib and a jinxed toilet jokasta thinks the squib is aware of Callum and his pranks and that he'll do anything he can to stop him she specifically warns that the squib may have tampered with tools in Callum shed so is the individual before us Callum who died after a squib tampered with his tools taking a closer look at the scene we find what looks to be three fireworks which I would wager were the source of the explosion there's also a small Satchel holding a few unknown liquids I went over to the nearby shed and while I found a few tools on the outside the shed itself was empty and I didn't see any other Clues to help us piece together what exactly happened here so while I'm not sure of the specifics it would seem that jasta was right about the squib maybe he rigged the fields with explosives and set them to detonate when he knew Callum would be working now it's also important to remember that although squibs were incapable of magic themselves they were still aware of the magical world they could see things like ghosts and Dementors as well as places magically hidden from Muggles like Hogwarts Argus Phil a known Squid from Harry Potter's day was even capable of using magical objects such as the secrecy sensor in Harry Potter and the halfblood prince so even though this case involves a squib we can't immediately roll out magic somehow having an impact on callum's death our victim in case number 10 is the muggleborn I mentioned at the start of the video traveled to the clag more Castle flu flame on the south side of the map from there head north on your broom in search of a treasure Vault you'll know you're getting close when you pass a small brick structure on your left you'll see two small caves but the one we're looking for here is the second one down a bit lower and closer to the water inside you'll find the victim with the one-word note and while this one doesn't have many Clues other than the Moss and the letter itself it seems highly probable that this person was murdered by radical pure blood Wizards next we have another unknown victim who died in perhaps the most gruesome fashion of everyone on this list today spiders why couldn't it be follow the butterflies this one is also found in the forest near the North Ford bog flu flame if you zoom into your map you'll be able to see the spider's nest and the body we're looking for is just slightly to the right here in these ruins you may have to clear out a few spiders first but once you do you'll find a wizard wrapped tightly in a web and while the state of the victim leaves no doubt as to how he died the letter beside him only raises more questions the phrase follow the spiders is repeated nearly 40 times there's no name nor date was this note actually written by victim or was it written by another who was trying to lead this unfortunate wizard to someone or something something tells me we've yet to find all of the secrets contained within hogwart's Legacy while there were 11 bodies I found in this search each containing a note giving a hint as to how they died there were more bodies I found with no note at all there are other notes leading to stories of missing persons and Unsolved Mysteries but perhaps we'll cover those in a future video as always thank you all so much for watching watching I'll talk to you again soon
