What You'll Learn
The Ghost of Our Love quest
The "Ghost of Our Love" is a Side Quest in Hogwarts Legacy that can be challenging for players. The quest involves finding a treasure map known as the "Map with Floating Candles" and identifying the mysterious location depicted on it. The starting point and the location of the map vary depending on the player's chosen House.
For players in Slytherin, the quest begins with "Scrope's Last Hope," where they must reach Apollonia's Grotto, a cave under Hogwarts with a red squid painted on the wall. After placing a piece of toast on a pedestal to open a secret area, they find a chest with the "Map with Floating Candles."
Players from other Houses will receive a letter through Owl Post after completing their classes and the Trials of Merlin Main Quest. This letter assigns a new House-specific quest, leading them to meet the ghost, Richard Jackdaw, who guides them towards the area where they can find the map.
Once players have obtained the "Map with Floating Candles," they must make their way to the Forbidden Forest, located north of Hogwarts Castle. At the entrance, they will find a bridge, and by casting Lumos, they will summon three floating candles that will lead them into the forest. It is important to note that this quest can only be completed at night.
Following the candles, players will eventually reach a romantic candlelit table for two, with a chest containing a random piece of gear and 400 Galleons. Completing this Side Quest rewards players with 180 XP.
