The world of Hogwarts is full of chests to be opened and looted. One unique type of chest is the chest with an eye on the center.
These chests are also the most rewarding to loot since each one awards 500 coins. To unlock them, players will need to use the Disillusionment spell and approach the chest slowly.
Another tricky puzzle found in Hogwarts includes the Arithmancy puzzle doors, which require matching symbols with numbers. Consider checking out our guide for more details on how to unlock them.
In this guide, I will explain how to unlock chests with eyes in Hogwarts Legacy and showcase where to get the Disillusionment spell.
How to Unlock Chests with Eyes in Hogwarts Legacy
Players can unlock any chest with an eye by using the Disillusionment spell. This turns the player invisible and allows them to sneak up to the chest without being seen.
If you move too fast or activate the spell too late, the eye will spot you. In this case, sprint away from the chest until it resets (just run away from it for a few seconds), and then run back again.
As for where to find these chests, they are pretty much everywhere. Keep using the Revelio spell whenever you’re exploring and you’ll find many of these chests. One of the best spots to get them is in Hogsmeade.
And the best part is that each of these chests will award you 500 coins. Compared to the 10 or 30 coins that smaller chests give, this is a solid amount.
But how do you unlock the Disillusionment spell, which is required for opening these chests? Let’s see.
How to Get the Disillusionment Spell in Hogwarts Legacy
Getting the Disillusionment spell in Hogwarts Legacy is fairly straightforward since it’s part of the main storyline.
Specifically, players will need to complete the ‘Secrets of the Restricted Section’ main quest, which is done by following Sebastian Sallow into the library’s restricted section.
Use the spell to get into the restricted section and avoid the ghosts there to complete the quest. From then on, you’ll be able to use this spell in the open world at any time.
Wrapping up
To summarize, that’s everything you need to know on how to unlock chests with eyes in Hogwarts Legacy. Unlock the Disillusionment spell, activate it, and sneak near the chest until you get the prompt to open it.
