The Room of Requirement in Hogwarts Legacy is like a base where you can decorate, brew potions, grow plants, raise animals and more. However, you'll find that your access to it is tied to a specific chain of quests you'll need to complete before you can use it.
Much like how you finally unlock Hogwarts Legacy broomsticks or learn spells, you'll have to see certain key parts of the story before you can unlock the Room of Requirement. The first key benefit when you do is the ability to grow plants you can use.
As we mention in our Hogwarts Legacy tips, you can always check what rewards a quest unlocks from the mission log. Generally, following the main mission thread will eventually get you what you need. But if you want the specifics, here's how to access the Hogwarts Legacy Room of Requirement.
How to find the Room of Requirement in Hogwarts Legacy
The Room of Requirement quest only appears after you've finished a quest called Tomes and Tribulations, helping a character called Richard Jackdaw. After this you'll get access to Flying Classes and unlock your broom, as well as the Room of Requirement. It's a few hours in so look out for Jackdaw's quest as a indication you're getting close
How to use the Room of Requirement in Hogwarts Legacy
Professor Weasley and Deek will show you the Room of Requirement and teach you three Hogwarts Legacy spells that you'll only be able to use within it (Evanesco, the Conjuring Spell, and the Altering Spell). This will allow you to craft various tables for growing plants - like the initially hard to find Hogwarts Legacy Mandrake - making potions, and other elements in Hogwarts Legacy that you may want to use in your own Room of Requirement. It also lets you customize elements like the floor and walls, and add decorations like paintings and furniture. However, these abilities will take up valuable Hogwarts Legacy spell slots so you might want to think about swapping them out whenever you're not in the room.
Once you're all set up you can visit Hogsmeade to buy 'spellcrafts' from Tomes and Scrolls. This will let you buy more things for the room, things like Hogwarts Legacy large pots. You can also find decorations in the world as loot.
How to access the Room of Requirement
Once you've unlocked the Room of Requirement, you won't have to wander the halls trying to find it in order to head back there to check on your various projects. Instead, open up your Hogwarts Map and look for a sun icon above the school itself. This is the marker for "secret rooms", so hit that and you'll see both the Room of Requirement and Map Camber Floo Flame points to teleport yourself straight into the room itself.
The release of Hogwarts Legacy has been the subject of criticism and debate due to J.K. Rowling’s public stance on gender identity, which continues to challenge the inclusivity at the heart of the Harry Potter community. Here is our explainer on the Hogwarts Legacy controversy (opens in new tab).
