Summary
AHogwarts Legacyplayer found an unused area of the game’s map. The area was located in one of the grottos that can be explored for treasures and other valuable items. These types of locations are plentiful in the world ofHogwarts Legacy.
Hogwarts Legacywas one of the highest rated games among the heap of big releases from last year. It was highly successful, as many fans ofHarry Potterhad been waiting for a video game in which they couldexplore Hogwarts and the Wizarding Worldat their leisure and live out their wizard fantasies. Almost a year after release, players are still uncovering new secrets that lie within the Wizarding World.
A user on Reddit by the name of AJPWthrowaway shared their discovery of what appeared to be the ruins of a house in a grotto. The user claimed they had never seen it at any other point in the game, and some of the Redditors who replied had actually come across places like these themselves, but were surprised to see how the area was reached to begin with.
While the photos show the area to be explorable, it appears to be incomplete and there is no treasure or loot to be found. This has led AJPWthrowaway to believe the area was supposed to play a role in the story. The player reached it by using a Nexus mod on PC, which aremods commonly used byHogwarts Legacyplayerson that platform.
This could just be a place that was designed to serve as set dressing to make the world more immersive. However, judging by the looks of things, it seems entirely possible that theHogwarts Legacydeveloper Avalanche Softwarecreated this location with the intention of implementing it in some way, shape or form, but might have ultimately cut it at some point in development. It’s a pretty detailed area that could have served as a mission spot or a place with cool collectibles and secrets to find.
It’s a common thing for games to have seemingly unreachable areas that aren’t meant to be explored. Some players come across them by accident, and others might work tirelessly to manipulate the game in just the right way that allows them to get to it. It’s always fascinating to see what players can find when they push a game’s boundaries. Some elements of a game end up on the cutting room floor, while others sometimes make their way into the finished product. It’s always just a matter of time before people find them, and theHogwarts Legacycommunity is full of dedicated explorers who will continue to do just that.
