Hogwarts Legacy guide – Can you get the Deathly Hallows in the game?
The Deathly Hallows were featured prominently in the Harry Potter novels and movies. The legend tells of three brothers that tried to trick Death, and the entity agreed to give each of them a powerful item. These three objects — the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone, and the Invisibility Cloak — ensured that whoever wields them will attain mastery over Death.
So, are they in the game? Well, technically, you do receive the Deathly Hallows in Hogwarts Legacy, at least a particular form or theme that concerns them. This takes place during a quest called Niamh Fitzgerald’s Trial, which becomes available later in the campaign. In it, you’re whisked away into a storybook, sketched in black and white, telling of an old tale. You find yourself in a town ravaged by war or plague. Death looks from on high, while reapers scour the streets.
The first object that you receive is the Invisibility Cloak, which allows you to walk past reapers without being detected. Next, you obtain the Elder Wand, which empowers your spells and improves their recharge rate. Finally, the Resurrection Stone is used to talk to Niamh Fitzgerald’s spirit to conclude the quest.
So, yes, you do obtain the Deathly Hallows in Hogwarts Legacy, at least in keeping with the theme. But this is only part of one quest. It would probably be ridiculous to expect a custom character to suddenly wield them all for the rest of the campaign.
Still, you do have variants, of sorts. For instance, you could design an Elder Wood Wand just for kicks. You also receive the Disillusionment spell, which activates stealth mode. While it’s not as snazzy as the Invisibility Cloak, it does let you sneak behind enemies to do stealth kills with Petrificus Totalus. Okay, maybe not “kills” (poor Neville if that were the case), but you get the idea. As for the Resurrection Stone, well, your character does get revived since there’s no perma-death. Oh, okay, I’m reaching here.
Hogwarts Legacy is available via Steam.
