How to Get More Beast Slots in Vivarium
To get more beast slots in Vivarium, you need to complete Deek’s side questline, which will expand your Room of Requirement and add new Vivariums, increasing the number of species you can have at once. By doing so, you will be able to unlock additional Vivariums, such as the Coastal Vivarium, which can be obtained by completing The Plight of the House-Elf side mission, allowing you to capture and care for more magical creatures.

Introduction to Vivariums
Vivariums are a crucial part of the gameplay in Hogwarts Legacy, allowing players to capture, care for, and breed magical creatures. Each Vivarium has a limited number of beast slots, which can be expanded by completing specific quests and missions.
Expanding Beast Slots
To expand your beast slots, you need to focus on completing side quests and main missions that reward you with new Vivariums and upgrades. One of the key quests is The Plight of the House-Elf, which unlocks the Coastal Vivarium and provides additional beast slots.
