1. Hippogriffs (Flying): Imagine soaring high above the magical landscape on the back of a Hippogriff! To unlock these majestic creatures, you’ll need to complete the main story mission “The High Hold.” Once you do, they’ll be your go-to for fast and elegant aerial travel.

2. Thestrals (Flying): These fascinating creatures are invisible to most, except those who have witnessed death. If you’re keen on flying with Thestrals, you can unlock them by purchasing the Dark Arts Pack DLC (included in Deluxe & Collector’s Editions) and completing the “The High Hold” quest.

3. Graphorns (Ground): For those who prefer to keep their feet on solid ground, Graphorns are the perfect choice. These sturdy beasts are available after you conquer the main story mission “San Bakar’s Trial.” They offer reliable and robust transportation across the varied terrain of Hogwarts.

4. Broomsticks (Flying): No Hogwarts experience is complete without a trusty broomstick! You can earn your broomstick by completing the Flying Class mission and purchasing it from Spintwitches Sporting Needs in Hogsmeade. Once you’re airborne, you can upgrade your broomstick for even faster flights and smoother maneuvers.
Each mount comes with its own unique perks. Hippogriffs provide speed and grace in the air, Thestrals offer a mysterious and magical flight experience, Graphorns ensure stable travel across any surface, and Broomsticks are the classic choice for nimble aerial maneuvers.
To summon and ride your mount, simply open the instrument wheel and press the corresponding button (L1 + Square / Triangle / Circle for PlayStation, LB + X / Y / B for Xbox, Tab + 1 / 2 / 3 for PC). Once mounted, you’ll be able to take off, navigate seamlessly through Hogwarts’ intricate landscapes, and explore hidden corners.
Whether you’re chasing adventure, searching for magical creatures, or simply enjoying the breathtaking views, these mounts are your perfect companions in Hogwarts Legacy. They not only make your journey more exciting but also help you uncover every secret and mystery that the wizarding world has to offer.
So, grab your wand, hop on your favorite mount, and embark on a magical journey through Hogwarts and beyond. For more tips and tricks on mastering Hogwarts Legacy, check out our other detailed guides. Happy exploring, fellow wizards!
