In Hogwarts Legacy Hogwarts Legacy you will find many chests during your adventure. Chests that give rare gear, eye chests that offer a few coins, others more ordinary that give you uninteresting clothes. But the most important are the Collection chests.

What do collection boxes contain?
These chests are so interesting because they can give you three highly desirable things:
- Of the sleeves magic wand to customize your magic tools,
- Summon creatures (or furniture) to decorate your Room of Requirement,
- Of the equipment attributes to add effects to your outfit in battle via the Loom.

Full dungeons
Most of the main storyline dungeons you will visit are often filled with treasures and collectible chests. Unfortunately, some secret rooms require level 3 Alohomora and require you to return later in your adventure. When opening the map, make sure you have all the chests in each dungeon (this is indicated by hovering over the respective dungeon).
