Hogwarts Legacy is dropping on PS4 and Xbox One on the 5th May, almost three months after its initial release. If you're an owner of one of those consoles then believe us, it'll be worth the wait. There's also an advantage to playing a decent time after it's release - there will be plenty of advice available on the internet.

For example, you'll soon be wanting to add extra capacity to your Ancient Magic meter... and we're here to help you do that.

The Ancient Magic in Hogwarts Legacy is one of the most unique parts of the story and gameplay. However, it drains our meter dramatically. To add extra capacity to this meter, you need to find Ancient Magic hotspots and collect their traces. There are 20 of them in total.

So where are the Hogwarts Legacy ancient magic hotspots exactly? Read on to find out.

Where to find Hogwarts Legacy Ancient Magic hotspots: All 20 locations

To find the Ancient Magic hotspots in Hogwarts Legacy, you will need to look out for the icon that looks like a torch on your map. Head to these locations and you will discover the hotspots you seek. You should see them appear after completing the ‘Secrets of the Restricted Section’ main story quest.

Try zooming out all the way on your map screen and move your cursor over the separate areas to see how many Ancient Magic hotspots you’ve got left to complete in each region of the map.
