Hogwarts Legacy All Traits Locations

Hogwarts Legacy has 75 Trait locations. Finding all Traits is required to complete all Collections for the Collector’s Edition trophy & achievement. They unlock special attributes that may be applied to gear once the Loom is unlocked in the Room of Requirement (after Main Quest #28: The Elf, The Nab-Sack, and the Loom).

None of the Collectibles in Hogwarts Legacy are missable. You can still find everything after the story in free-roam. Some story areas can’t be revisited but those don’t contain any collectibles. It’s best to play through the main quests first to gain access to everything, then do all assignments to unlock all spells, find all Demiguise Statues to open Level 3 locks, then do all side quests to open up all optional side areas for exploration. As you play through the game grab any collection chests you find. After all of this you should have most items already. Then you can clean up the remaining Collection Chests. Fully zoom out on the world map to see a collectible tracker for each region. In Hogwarts Castle you can select a section of the castle to see how many collection chests there are in that particular area.

In the Collection Menu you can keep track of how many Traits you found and how to obtain them. The menu has a heading for each obtaining method, e.g. some collectible types are bought from vendors, some come as challenge rewards (after completing a challenge tier click on it in challenges menu to get the reward), some are from exploration which means collection chests, some are quest rewards. DLC bonus items are not needed for any trophies & achievements.

This guide lists the items in the same order as the in-game Collection Menu. This makes it easy to compare against your in-game list what you are missing.

Potential Bug Warning: There are reports that some players end up with 74/75 Traits. This happens if a Collection Chest from a Bandit Camp doesn’t reward you with a Trait (can happen randomly). You can prevent this by reloading last autosave if a collection chest from a bandit camp doesn’t give a Trait. Pay attention that each Bandit Camp Collection Chest gives a Trait.

Exploration

The following items are rewards from Collection Chests. It is RANDOM which chest contains which item. For example, when you make a manual save in front of a Collection Chest, open it, reload save, you will get a different item each time. Every Collection Chest in the game is assigned one category of collection item – meaning it will always give either an “Appearance” or “Trait” or “Wand Handle” or “Conjuration” – but which item exactly it gives is random. For example, the same chest will always give a Trait, but it’s complete luck which Trait exactly you receive. Because they are all random no specific location data can be provided because there is no fixed location for any of these items. You will have to open ALL Collection Chests in the game to obtain all Collection Items / Exploration Items.

The Collection Chests containing Traits are specifically found in Bandit Camps! The Bandit Camps get marked when unfogging the map. The chests also show up on the minimap as white chest icons when nearby.
