Endings Guide | Hogwarts Legacy Wiki

How many Endings are there in Hogwarts Legacy?

Following in the traditions of many story-driven, open-world titles, Hogwarts Legacy has multiple endings. There are a total of 3 possible Endings in Hogwarts Legacy that players can achieve. These have been colloquially dubbed the Good Ending, the Evil / Bad Ending, and the True Ending. Of these three, only the Good and Evil endings are affected by your choices and/or actions, while the True Ending is achievable regardless.

What actions affect my Ending in Hogwarts Legacy?

As noted above, only the Good and Evil endings constitute different outcomes for the conclusion of Hogwarts Legacy. Thankfully, both endings are very easy to achieve as they hinge on a single choice you have to make near the end of the game's penultimate quest "The Final Repository", right before the final boss fight. See the All Endings section below for details on this choice and how to achieve both endings.

Players will be able to achieve either the Good and True ending or the Evil and True ending. Depending on what choices the player makes in dialogues as well as during the end game, it will determine whether players get the Good ending or the Evil ending. After the ending cinematic has passed, players will find themselves back at Hogwarts Castle.

Is there a Post-Game in Hogwarts Legacy?

The Post-Game begins after completing "The Final Repository". Players are free to explore the world and finish up any remaining Side Quests, Challenges and complete their Collections. This is in fact a pre-requisite for attaining the True Ending. Additionally, all the Battle Arenas can be challenged as many times as possible for players who enjoy honing their combat abilities.

Can I get all Endings in one playthrough of Hogwarts Legacy?

It is possible to achieve all three Endings in a single playthrough. This can be done by creating a separate save file during The Final Repository when you receive the "Defeat Ranrok's Loyalists" objective. This is the point prior to when you have to make the choice that will decide whether you get the Good Ending or the Evil Ending. The True Ending is attainable in the Post-Game and is available after either outcome is achieved.

Is it important to play a Good or Evil Character in Hogwarts Legacy?

In the context of the overall story, playing a Good or Evil Character throughout Hogwarts Legacy has very little impact. The game features a very simple morality system that mostly hinges on dialogue options which tend to be very black and white. Aside from the choice between the Good and Evil Endings, there are no penalties for performing actions that can be considered "evil" or "bad" nor are there any particular incentives to be the token "good" student. That's not to say that choosing between one or the other is meaningless, as they do lead to different dialogue branches or other events happening and can add to the enjoyment of the game, as well as for role-playing purposes.

More importantly, in the context of the Ending, a player who has chosen to play Good can still get the Evil ending and vice versa.

Are there any Trophies and Achievements tied to Endings in Hogwarts Legacy?

The Seeker of Knowledge Trophy/Achievement requires you to win the House Cup, which is the overall pre-requisite for achieving the True Ending. It requires you to have completed all Side Quests, Relationship Quests, Collections and Puzzles, as well as reaching Level 34. By the time you get this Trophy, you will have obtained most other Trophies as well.

Is there a New Game Plus in Hogwarts Legacy?

At the time of launch, there is no New Game Plus Mode for Hogwarts Legacy and it is currently unknown if the game will receive one in a future update.

What else can I do in Hogwarts Legacy after completing the game?

Completed the game and unsure what to do? Replay it again! See the game from the perspective of a student from a different House. Dialogue options may be different depending on the house chosen and certain locations may become accessible as well. In fact, the game has separate trophies for completing the mid-game quest "The Map Chamber" as a student from each of the four Houses, which adds some replayability. It is currently unknown what types of DLC Hogwarts Legacy will receive in the future, but they are sure to add to this magical 30-70 hour adventure.
