Hogwarts Legacy is an action role-playing video game that is set in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. The game allows players to create their own wizard or witch and explore Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as they embark on a journey to uncover a hidden truth. One of the exciting features of the game is the ability to encounter and capture Shiny Beasts, rare and elusive creatures that are highly sought after by wizards and witches alike. In this article, we will explore some tips and strategies on how to find Shiny Beasts in Hogwarts Legacy, so that you can add these magnificent creatures to your collection and gain an advantage in battle.
How to Find Shiny Beasts
Hogwarts Legacy offers players the chance to discover a total of 13 fascinating beasts, ranging from small and cute Puffskeins to majestic Unicorns. Interestingly, both shiny and non-shiny versions of each beast can be found in their respective dens, giving players a chance to collect both. However, the Phoenix is the only creature in the game without a shiny variant, and players can only encounter it during a specific side quest.
To avoid startling the creatures in their dens, players should use the Disillusionment Spell to turn themselves invisible. They should then carefully observe each creature from a distance, keeping an eye out for a star symbol next to its name, which indicates whether it’s a shiny or normal version. If players spot a shiny creature, they can use spells like Glacius or Arresto Momentum to catch it with their Nab-Sack.
Methods to finding a Shiny Beast
There are methods you can try to increase your chances of finding a Shiny Beast. Below we will explain all these different ways and the best way to perform them!
Method #1
To increase your chances of encountering a shiny beast in Hogwarts Legacy, there’s a technique you can use to increase the likelihood of one appearing in a particular den. Firstly, choose a den and check if there are any shiny beasts present. If there aren’t any, capture all the regular beasts in the den, and then leave.
Next, manually save your game, and then reload it. Return to the den and repeat the process of capturing all the regular beasts until a shiny one eventually spawns. This process can be repeated multiple times until you manage to capture the shiny variant you’re after.
It’s worth noting that this technique requires patience, as the spawn rate for shiny beasts is low. Additionally, it’s important to remember to save your progress before leaving the den to avoid losing any progress made towards capturing a shiny beast. With a bit of persistence and a lot of luck, you’ll soon have a collection of magnificent shiny beasts to show off to your fellow wizards and witches!
Method #2
If you’re struggling to capture certain beasts in Hogwarts Legacy, there’s an alternative method that may prove helpful. Firstly, after checking the den, open up your map and fast travel to the nearest Floo Flame. Once there, select the “Wait” option to advance time before flying back to the den. Repeat this process until a shiny variant of the desired beast appears.
Method #3
By utilizing the two methods above, capturing shiny beasts will become a lot easier, and you’ll soon have an impressive collection of these rare and sought-after creatures. Additionally, an interesting fact is that breeding two shiny beasts of opposite genders will produce offspring that are also shiny. However, this method will only work if you already have shiny beasts.
