If you’re looking to 100 per cent complete the game, unlocking the Hogwarts Legacy finishing touches achievement will take you some time to do. This one is a bit of a time-sink, even if its description is easy enough to understand and follow.

While there are many achievements and trophies to unlock easily in the open world game, this is one that will require some patience and good knowledge of the map.

Using the Ancient Magic on each enemy will require some skill, too, as you will need to dodge incoming attacks and hit the baddie with the powerful spell after it has finished charging up. You can charge Ancient Magic by taking damage, building up combos, and picking up the glowing orbs that enemies drop during combat.

Read on below to discover how to complete the Hogwarts Legacy finishing touches achievement/trophy and to read through a list of every enemy in the game and where to find them.

How to complete Hogwarts Legacy finishing touches

To complete the finishing touches achievement/trophy in Hogwarts Legacy, you need to use Ancient Magic on every enemy in the game. You don’t need to kill enemies with Ancient Magic, just hit them with it.

You should receive Ancient Magic relatively early on in the game as part of the Welcome to Hogsmeade main story mission (the seventh main quest).

We recommend you cast Ancient Magic on each new enemy type you encounter as soon as you face off against them in order to complete this tricky task. If you’ve missed one or two enemies out, however, we’ve got you covered. The full list of every enemy in Hogwarts Legacy and where to find them can be found below.
