All Daedalian keys and House Tokens locations in Hogwarts Legacy

If you've been in and around your Hogwarts Legacy common room, you will have encountered a mysterious chest called the 'House Chest.' This chest requires 16 House Tokens to unlock, rewarding players with a unique cloak.

To get these tokens, you must find 16 Daedalian keys scattered throughout the Hogwarts castle. You find the keys and follow them to their locked cabinet.

You then play a small mini-game to unlock the cabinet. The mini-game is quite simple. All you need to do is 'slap' the key when it passes over the keyhole on the cabinet.

It would be best to learn the Alohomora unlock spell to access some keys, as they are locked behind doors and not accessible otherwise. You can get the Alohomora spell by talking to Gladwin Moon in the Faculty Tower located in the South Wing. It is automatically given as part of The Caretaker's Lunar Lament main quest.

To begin collecting the keys, you must start the side quest associated with the Daedalian keys. The keys won't appear unless you start the side quest.

Once you've spoken to Nellie, she will direct you to your first Daedalian key, which will be marked on the map for you, and you can navigate to it using the on-screen navigation.

The keys are a bit difficult to spot at first, especially if you are running past them. You can use the Revelio spell to highlight them in blue to locate them easily. You can also listen for the fluttering wings sound when you're near them. They will also create a slight jingle sound.

Once you've located the key, approach it, and it will fly away. Keep following the key, as it will always go to its designated locked cabinet nearby. If you find it difficult to follow the keys and get to the cabinet, we also have the locations of all the cabinets, along with the locations of the keys, below.

As mentioned before, once you reach the cabinet, you will find the key hovering next to it. Interact with it, and a mini-game will begin.

It will sometime pass on top of the keyhole. Whenever the key flies across the keyhole, quickly 'slap' it to insert it into it. On PC, it is the Space key on the keyboard. On PS5, it is the Square, and on Xbox, it is the X button on the controller.

Once you've picked up the first House Token as part of the side quest, return to Nellie in the Transfiguration Courtyard and speak with her. Now, you will be left to collect the remaining 15 Daedalian keys and House Tokens. They will not be marked, which is where this guide comes in.

We've separated the Daedalian key locations by their wings and areas. This way, it'll be easier to keep track of the collected Daedalion keys and their locations.

There are five Daedalian keys in the Astronomy Wing.

This key is quite easy to locate as it will be indicated on the map as part of the quest initiation. As mentioned before, it will be marked since it is the first one. Fast travel to the Astronomy Tower floo flame.

Once you've acquired all the House Tokens, return to your common room and insert them all into the House Chest.

After inserting the 16th Token, the chest will open, rewarding you with a unique Relic House Uniform. The Uniform differed from house to house. For us, since our character was in the Ravenclaw house, we got a cloak representing Ravenclaw.

Remember to once again speak with Nellie Oggspire in the Transfiguration Courtyard of the Astronomy Wing to complete the Daedalian Keys quest.

The Relic House Uniform has a unique property where it glows whenever you cast a spell.

The House Chests are always found inside your own common rooms. Each house has a different common room location. You can always check where your common room is by checking all the main floo flame locations within Hogwarts.

Other common room floo flames can be found in the following areas: Slytherin Common Room - The Grand Staircase. Gryffindor Common Room - The South Wing. Hufflepuff Common Room - The Great Hall.

To open the house chest in Hogwarts Legacy, you must find 16 Daedalian Keys. They're spread all over the castle. Each key opens a cabinet with a House Token. Gather up all the tokens, drop them into the chest, and the chest will open.

An empty chest means that you've already claimed the reward. The chest won't refill or respawn. When you opened the chest you should have gotten a robe for transmogrification. Check your inventory if you can't remember!
