Tangled Web
“Why spiders?! Why can’t we follow the butterflies?” Sorry, Ron, but there’s no denying that Tangled Webs is one of the cooler side missions in Hogwarts Legacy. In this quest, you’ll be tasked with becoming an exterminator by eliminating spiders.
And for anyone that might be afraid of spiders, well then even you can get in on the fun with this one thanks to the arachnophobia mod. Instead of fighting eight-legged freaks, you’ll combat boxes, allowing you to play one of the more interesting quests in the game.
Flight Test
One of the first questions many players had when Hogwarts Legacy was announced was “Will I be able to fly on a broomstick?” Thankfully, the answer is yes, you can fly on one of these bad boys in the game, though you’ll have to complete a side quest to do so.
Once you’ve completed that main story quest, you’ll then be able to do the Flight Test sidequest. While it isn’t too crazy, this one comes highly recommended, as it not only allows you to get your bearings a bit more on a broom, but it also features some fun flying challenges, including a time trial that you can compare to both yourself and your friends.
Venomous Valor
If you love a questline that boasts some solid ambiance and exploration, then look no further than Venomous Valor. In this mission, you’ll be tasked with finding the Hidden Herbology Corridor located in The Bell Tower Wing on the southern side of Hogwarts.
Once here, you’ll see all sorts of vines and interesting pathways to explore, all leading to a Giant Venomous Tentacula. Taking a leaf from this plant will help finish the quest, but not before you get to experience a really cool, hidden area of the castle, filled with dangerous black tendrils that can only be warded off by Lumos.
Tale of Rowland Oakes
What good is it being a wizard at Hogwarts if you don’t have to rescue some students from the odd bit of trouble here and there? That’s essentially the draw of the Tale of Rowland Oaks, except this time you’re tasked with finding and rescuing a student’s Uncle who has been captured by Goblins.
Not only is it nice to say you’ve helped out your fellow classmates, but getting to explore ruins while taking out goblins is super satisfying. It’s also worth noting that this is one of the first quests where you have to put your thinking cap on in order to progress it, as it provides an interesting map puzzle that is by no means easy to solve.
Plight of the House Elf
Despite being a side quest, Plight of the House Elf is arguably one of the more important ones in the game, as it is required for a lot of the other missions you’ll find throughout Hogwarts Legacy. Found in the Room of Requirement, this quest will trigger after completing a few main quests and then talking to Deek.
After chatting with him, Deek tasks you with finding and rescuing his friend whom he believes is in danger. What follows is a treacherous adventure, filled with spiders and creepy caves, that ends rather emotionally. Plight of the House Elf is definitely one of the most heart-wrenching quests in the game and is highly recommended for anyone who loves a good cry.
