The Hogwarts Valley Region is home to 15 Collection Chests that contain Conjuration Recipes to use in the Room of Requirement, Wand Handle cosmetics, or Traits to apply to gear with the Loom. Though you can tell what type of reward you’ll get from the shape of the chest, the specific loot is randomized based on what you still need to collect.

In this Hogwarts Legacy guide, you'll learn the location of all 15 of the Collection Chests in the Hogwarts Valley Region and you'll receive detailed instructions to help you find and loot each one. This Collection Chests guide applies to all versions of Hogwarts Legacy, including the original PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S versions of Hogwarts Legacy, as well as the Switch version from November 2023.
