All Chest Locations in Hogwarts Legacy
Chests are one of the easiest ways to stay geared, stocked, and funded as you play Hogwarts Legacy, and they’re everywhere if you know where to look. This guide uses the Hogwarts Legacy Interactive Map to show all chest locations across both the World Map and Hogsmeade, so nothing gets missed along the way.
Between ruined towers, Treasure Vaults, Bandit Camps, houses near Floo Flames, and Hogsmeade’s tightly packed interiors, chest placement in Hogwarts Legacy rewards thorough exploration. Some locations focus on quick loot density, while others hide higher-value rewards behind locked doors, rubble, or environmental obstacles. This guide focuses only on Chest pins shown on the map and explains what those categories represent, how they’re distributed across both maps, and why certain areas are worth prioritizing depending on how you play.
How To Get Chests
- Chest markers represent standard loot containers found across buildings, ruins, camps, platforms, and interiors
- Large Chest locations signal higher-value rewards and consistently contain gear equipment
- Legendary Chest markers highlight premium gear rewards placed in major locations
- Eye Chest pins mark gold-heavy chests that reward timing and awareness
- Bag markers represent fast loot pickups placed in high-traffic areas
- Small Bag locations provide lighter rewards but often appear in clusters
- Large Bag markers usually appear in camps or high-density loot zones
- Gear Chest focuses directly on equipment upgrades
- Diving Spot pins indicate underwater loot opportunities
- Multi-loot markers like 2x Chest, 2x Bag, or mixed chest and bag locations show stacked rewards in a single area
Locations for All Chests
Chest locations in Hogwarts Legacy are spread in a way that naturally supports both free exploration and focused cleanup. The World Map emphasizes wide-area looting and environmental variety, while Hogsmeade concentrates rewards into compact interior spaces. Understanding how these two maps differ makes chest hunting much faster and more satisfying.
World Map Chest Locations
On the World Map, chest placement leans heavily toward exploration and risk-reward balance. Bandit Camps are some of the most consistent loot hotspots, often combining Bags, Small Bags, Large Bags, and Large Chests in one area. These locations are perfect when you want efficiency, since clearing a single camp usually rewards multiple chest pickups without much backtracking.
Treasure Vaults play a different role. They’re clearly designed around gear progression, with Large Chests appearing repeatedly across vault interiors. If you’re focused on upgrading equipment rather than stacking gold, these are some of the most valuable stops on the map. You’ll also find chests tucked into ruins, towers, cliffs, bridges, docks, and even destroyed carts, which helps keep exploration feeling organic instead of checklist-driven.
Environmental placement matters a lot here. Some chests sit behind rubble, beneath boulders, under bridges, or inside alcoves that are easy to overlook. Diving Spot markers add another layer, encouraging water exploration around waterfalls, ponds, and shoreline areas. These are especially useful for late-game cleanup, since they’re often skipped during early exploration.
Hogsmeade Chest Locations
Hogsmeade flips the formula by packing a lot of loot into a small space. Instead of wide roaming, chest hunting here is about thorough interior exploration. Houses, shops, locked buildings, upper floors, chimneys, balconies, and back rooms all hide chest locations. Because buildings are close together, it’s easy to chain multiple pickups in a short time once you know where to look.
Large Chests and Legendary Chests tend to appear inside houses or restricted rooms, reinforcing the idea that Hogsmeade rewards curiosity rather than combat. Bags and Small Bags show up constantly near staircases, shelves, counters, and tucked-away corners, making them ideal for quick gold boosts while passing through town.
What really stands out is verticality. Many Hogsmeade chests are placed on second or third floors, rooftops, or raised platforms. These locations are easy to miss if you rush through buildings, but they add up fast if you’re methodical. For completion-focused players, Hogsmeade is one of the most efficient places to clean up remaining chest counts.
