All Hogwarts Legacy endings and how to get them

As with many vast, open-world games, Hogwarts Legacy has more than one ending. Thankfully, these are easier to get than one might assume. Since the title doesn’t have a system in place to punish how evil players are, it’s entirely likely that they could choose to receive the 'bad ending' without ever doing a single evil deed the entire game.

Only one choice in the game determines whether you will get the Evil Ending or the Normal/Neutral Ending. And the best part is that you will still be able to achieve the True Ending even if you walk down the evil path. The title won't penalize you for it and you can get the ultimate ending of Hogwarts Legacy. As such, here is an index of all the endings in Hogwarts Legacy and how you can get them.

Caution: This article contains spoilers for the end of Hogwarts Legacy.

Hogwarts Legacy’s endings and how you unlock them

The most important choice for the Normal and Evil endings of Hogwarts Legacy is made during Main Quest titled The Final Repository. During this mission, you’ll have an objective that requires you to “Reach the Repository before Ranrok.” At this point, you have an important choice: What do you do with the Repository? The following are the choices you get for those two endings.

1) Good Ending

• “I intend to keep it contained here.”
• “I shall keep it secret forever.”

This makes you the Ancient Magic’s Keeper, and Professor Fig will pledge to aid you in this endeavor in the Good Hogwarts Legacy ending. However, you still have to defeat Ranrok, as they are the game's final boss.

Afterward, you contain the Ancient Magic again, but all of this comes at a cost. Sadly, the strain was too high, and Professor Fig passed on

2) Evil Ending

• “I intend to open it.”
• “This power should not be kept from the world”

In this version of the ending, Professor Fig won’t have the strength to carry on and help you try to contain the Ancient Magic at the end of the game. Not that you want to, since your goal is to spread the Ancient Magic. You still have to defeat Ranrok, though.

However, you wield some magic for yourself in this ending. Don’t worry. You can still see the True Ending if you go this route.

Once you get one of the above endings, you’ll return to Hogwarts. After your normal ending, you'll see another cutscene. It will feature either Ominis or Sebastian, depending on whether you've completed the Sebastian Sallow questline or not.

It also takes into account the choice that you made during the "In the Shadow of Fate" side quest, that is, whether or not you turned him in. If you've turned in Sebastian, you'll never see him again. In that case, Ominis will appear in this cutscene instead. If you chose not to turn him in, the cutscene will show Sebastian as remorseful, and this is where you tell him that Rookwood cursed Anne.

You’ll then get a notification about the upcoming O.W.L. exams. You need to finish up several tasks - the amount of which will vary depending on how much you did during the normal game.

• Complete all remaining puzzles
• Complete all remaining side quests
• Complete all relationship storylines
• Reach level 34
• Clear Weasley's Watchful Eye Main Story Quest (Post-Game)
• Clear The House Cup Main Story Quest (Post-Game)

Regardless of your choice, the True Ending is the same for all players. Once you wrap up all those tasks, you will have two more missions to complete the House Cup.

A series of cutscenes will play out, showing off the various activities that take place at the school, with many of them being entertaining and heartwarming. All of this builds up to an announcement after you win the House Cup.

Following an elaborate ceremony, the protagonist is celebrated for their heroism, which adds 100 points to their House, courtesy of Professor Weasley.

That completes Hogwarts Legacy. If you’ve unlocked the True Ending, you have no further work to do in the Wizarding World. It’s easy to get both the Good and Evil ending in one playthrough. Before you make the ultimate choice in The Final Repository, just make a secondary save. That way, you can secure both endings easily enough.
