In Hogwarts Legacy, you can find many Magical Beasts, including Unicorns. Unicorns are one of the rarest Beasts that you will be able to find, but it is possible to find and catch them fairly early in the game. Notably, there is only one place where Unicorns can be found. This will force you to be resourceful and a little patient if you want to add Unicorns to their collection.
Like Newt Scamander in the Fantastic Beasts films, you will be given a very similar bag to Newt’s briefcase by Deek the House Elf. This bag can be used to rescue beasts from poachers and find good homes for all the Beasts. This can either be in your sanctuary within the Room of Requirement or given to Ellie Peck of Brood and Peck in Hogsmeade.
Unicorn Den Location In Hogwarts Legacy
Unicorns in Hogwarts Legacy can be a challenge to spot. However, by following clues from other players or remembering where they are in the books, you can guess that they have a home somewhere in the Forbidden Forest. It will not be a simple case of walking into the forest, but having a Broom or Mount will make the Den easier to find.
The Unicorn Den itself is found toward the North East of the forest, just to the left of the Upper Hogsfield Hamlet on the map.
According to SpookyFairy on YouTube, once the Unicorn Den location in Hogwarts Legacy has been found, you need to be aware that poachers are nearby. You may want to take them out before attempting to catch the Unicorn. Then you can proceed towards the Den, where a Unicorn may or may not be present. If no Unicorn is present at the location, that is fairly normal. Open the map and use the “Wait” feature to pass the time.
When you wake up, there will hopefully be a Unicorn waiting. If not, do it again, or use Floo Powder to come back from another location. Once you spot a Unicorn, of which the game will only spawn one at a time, you can catch it. Cast Arresto Momento to stop the Unicorn from running away, and open the Nap-Sack.
You will have to successfully press the catch button five times before the Unicorn is caught.
Casting Arresto Momento again is not a bad idea halfway through. Other immobilizing spells will also work, as well as casting Disillusionment on yourself to be able to sneak closer to the Unicorn. Once the Unicorn has been caught, return it to the Room of Requirement to interact with it and potentially breed it. You will have to keep returning to the Den to get a second Unicorn of the opposite gender. Breeding can also give you more animals to sell at the Brook and Peck. If not, more animals still mean more resources, allowing you to upgrade your gear in Hogwarts Legacy and gain better perks for your favorite outfits.
