If you’ve come across the House Chest in Hogwarts Legacy and want to open it, then you know that you’ll need to find all the Daedalian Keys to unlock it.
They’re the only way to unlock the chest and it contains a very special reward which is why it’s valuable. You’ll be able to start your quest to find the keys by talking to Nellie Oggspire in the Transfiguration Courtyard.
There are 16 Daedalian Keys for you to find and they’re spread all across the map. Some of the keys are a tad bit easier to find, the others being a little tricky. But don’t worry, we’re here to tell you all of the locations so that you can find them with ease.
It’s worth noting that these keys are bewitched with magic, so they’ll fly away as soon as you find them. Follow them back to their cabinets where they’ll hover over the keyhole. Successfully slap the key into the keyhole and you’ll obtain a House Token with which you’ll be able to unlock the House Chest.
