How to win the House Cup for your House of choice in Hogwarts Legacy?

Getting the House Cup might sound straightforward, but it isn’t as easy as it might look. Getting the House Cup is the same as getting the “Platinum Trophy,” i.e., achieving a hundred percent completion. Essentially, to get the House Cup, you have to complete the following:

• every main storyline quests
• side quest
• puzzles

This includes every character’s side quest, trial, optional puzzle, assignment, and more to work towards finishing everything the game offers. As an additional objective to unlock the House Cup, you will also need to reach Level 34, which is only possible after completing all the main story and optional questlines.

To unlock the House Cup, you need to follow the following steps:

• Make sure you have completed “Weasley’s Watchful Eye” main story quest, which is the game’s 47th and final.
• You will also need to ensure that you have finished all optional quests and puzzles.
• Once you complete both the main story and optional quests in the game, you will need to proceed to the Great Hall in the Hogwarts castle, where a short cutscene before you are finally awarded the House Cup by Professor Weasley.

The final cutscene in Hogwarts Legacy not only awards you the House Cup but also showcases your victories against the evil forces, which you had to brave to free Hogwarts from the looming threat of Ranrok and Rookwood’s dark wizards. The cutscene also sees the teachers and students of the school of magic reminisce over the loss of Professor Fig, who sacrificed himself while fighting the final boss of the game, Ranrok Dragon.
