Keypoints

  • One exclusive quest per house : every house in Poudlard unlocks his own quest in Hogwarts Legacy, featuring characters and locations that the other students won't see.
  • A common narrative thread : These exclusive quests continue the ghost's story Richard Choucas and the search for the missing pages of a book found earlier in the game.
  • A choice based on your personality : Gryffindor for the brave, Hufflepuff for the loyal, Ravenclaw for the wise, and Slytherin for the cunning—each house offers a unique quest experience.

Here's the direct answer: in Hogwarts Legacy, there is one exclusive quest per house, and you can only complete one per playthrough based on the house you choose during the sorting process. Here are the four exclusive quests:

  • Gryffindor : The Hunt for the Missing Pages
  • Hufflepuff : Prisoner of Love
  • Ravenclaw : The Legacy of’Ollivander
  • Slytherin : The last hope of Scrope

These exclusive quests usually begin after a few classes (Herbology, Potions) and Merlin's first challenges. They all revolve around the ghost Richard Choucas, who knows where to find the locations of the pages in the wizard's guide obtained at the start of the adventure.

Before you get started, you can also make progress on side quests, such as The Quest for Books to Take Off or the haunted shop in Hogsmeade, where Cassandra Mason is trying to sell you her business. In this guide, we detail the exclusive quest associated with each house in Poudlard, along with what sets it apart from the others.

Hogwarts Legacy, exclusive quest in Gryffindor house: the hunt for missing pages

If you have been assigned to Gryffondor, your exclusive quest in Hogwarts Legacy is called The Hunt for the Missing Pages. This mission, reserved for students in this house, sends you on a little treasure hunt through Poudlard and Pré-au-Lard, upon encountering a well-known ghost from that universe Harry Potter. Here's a step-by-step guide to solving it. For enthusiasts, you can also find the Reasons to Choose Gryffindor in this game.

  • It all starts with a conversation with Nick Quasi-Sans-Tête, the ghost of the house Gryffondor, who hangs around near the hourglasses, not far from the common room.
  • He offers to help you in exchange for a favor. The Headless Hunters Club has refused to let him join (because he isn't quite headless), and he plans to impress them so he can finally join.
  • You'll then find yourself in front of the secret entrance that leads to the Hogwarts kitchens, right next to the common room of Poufsouffle.
  • A tickling pear reveals the door. Inside, on a barrel, you find a piece of rotten roast beef: exactly what Nick Quasi-Sans-Tête asked you to bring.
  • Let's head to the pumpkin patch near the cemetery in Pré-au-Lard, where you meet the Headless Hunters club.
  • You must then track down a spirit hiding inside the pumpkins: destroy them one by one to flush out Choucas's head.
  • Once you've destroyed the right pumpkin, the quest ends and you'll receive the missing pages related to that house.

Hufflepuff House: Prisoner of Love

For students in Poufsouffle, this exclusive quest of Hogwarts Legacy begins with a conversation with the portrait of’Eldritch Diggory, who seems to know a great deal about the book that came from the common room. He believes the book is connected to a murder case involving his grandniece, Helen Thistlewood, investigated this in the past. If you're still on the fence, check out the Reasons to Choose Hufflepuff before taking the plunge.

Now that she's a retired Auror, you're going to visit her to find out more. Helen Thistlewood explains that the death of Richard Choucas was attributed to a certain Anne by Apollonia Black, jealous of the relationship between Richard Choucas and Anne.

Anne was trying to solve a riddle that Choucas had offered her so she could meet him, but she never managed to do so. Helen thinks she may have found the answer since then, but since she's locked up in the prison in’Azkaban, she hesitates to speak after years of torture at the mercy of the Détraqueurs.

Helen suggests that a student from Poudlard would undoubtedly be better able to reach him. So you will be heading to the prison in’Azkaban, where you'll chat with Anne to find clues about a cave in Campolard-en-Haut. This is where you'll have to solve a puzzle made up of six blocks, which you can move using’Accio.

The use of Revelio will highlight certain blocks in blue: by pulling them, you'll clear the path ahead and be able to take the word that Choucas had left with Anne. As you leave the cave, you'll come across the ghost of Choucas, and the quest ends with this encounter.

A quick tip: Make sure you've already unlocked Revelio and Accio before you get started, because the cave puzzle relies entirely on these two spells. The journey to the prison also requires a bit of preparation: for that, check out our detailed guide at How to Get to Azkaban in *Hogwarts Legacy*.

Ravenclaw House: Ollivander's Legacy

If you have chosen Ravenclaw When choosing your house, the exclusive quest that awaits you is called “Ollivander’s Legacy.” It is one of the four house quests in Hogwarts Legacy, just like those of Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. Like the others, it continues the narrative thread involving the ghost of Richard Choucas and the missing pages you must find.

The quest begins when you help Ollivander to find a magic wand he inherited, which was stolen long ago by Richard Choucas. Above the Owl are several alcoves: some contain rings that can be pulled out using the spell Accio, while others contain statues of Jackdaws, which are essential for progressing through this quest exclusive to Ravenclaw House.

To complete this quest in the Ravenclaw House:

  1. Collect the first three statues;
  2. Place them in the indicated spots, then climb the ladder to find more alcoves and two additional statues; ;
  3. Once you've collected all the statues, a cutscene will transport you to the top of the Owl. There, you'll meet Choucas, who agrees to help you find the wand and the missing pages. The quest then comes to an end.

Maison Serpentard: Scrope's last hope

If you have been assigned to Slytherin, this house's exclusive quest in *Hogwarts Legacy* begins with a message from Scrope, a house elf in the director's service. It's a real treasure hunt, punctuated by clues to be found throughout the game world. To keep track of all the available missions, see also the List of Main Quests of the game :

  • First, he asks you to find a second note left in the clock courtyard. It's easy to spot because it's inside the mouth of a griffin statue.
  • When you open it, you'll learn that the treasure hunt isn't over yet. Cross the wooden bridge to retrieve another note, which is sitting on top of a rock on the left. To reach it, place a crate using the spell Accio.
  • This note contains a clue to the location of the last message, hidden inside a pumpkin at the bottom of the hill. Open it using the basic spell cast. You will then be guided to an area near the pontoons to meet Scrope.

The director's house elf needs help retrieving a ring from a cave. He explains that his former mistress, Apollonia Black, knew a great deal about the missing pages and used this cave as a place of study.

  • Swim a short distance to enter the cave, then examine the pedestal near the mural. Accept a toast to open the path, and read the notes from’Apollonia.
  • That's when Richard's ghost appears Choucas, and may this exclusive quest from Slytherin House come to an end.

As with the other houses in *Hogwarts Legacy*, this mission is only available to players sorted into Slytherin. To experience the other three stories, you'll need to start a new playthrough with a different house.

Which house should you choose in your search?

If you're just discovering the world of’Harry Potter, keep in mind that the four Hogwarts houses group students according to their personalities. In Hogwarts Legacy, your house is assigned during the Sorting Hat ceremony, but the game lets you have the final say: you can freely choose Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin, regardless of the Sorting Hat's decision.

Here's what each house represents to help you find the one that suits you best:

  • Gryffindor : the home of brave wizards, endowed with remarkable strength of spirit; ;
  • Hufflepuff : that of loyal, tolerant, and kind students; ;
  • Ravenclaw : a home for the wise and the curious; ;
  • Slytherin : that of the clever and determined students.

In practical terms, your choice of house affects your common room, certain dialogues, exclusive NPCs, and your house quest. As for the rest, the main story and nearly all the quests remain the same. No house offers an objectively better experience, so choose the one that best suits your personality.

Can you do the exclusive quests for the other houses? No. Each quest is limited to one house per game. To see the other three, you'll need to start a new game and choose a different house. To learn more about What's different from one house to the next, check out our dedicated guide.
