Unlocking the Secrets of Demiguise Statues in Hogwarts Legacy: A Comprehensive Guide

The mystical world of Hogwarts Legacy is brimming with secrets and collectibles, and the elusive Demiguise Statues are among the most sought-after. These charming statues, each holding a glowing moon, are not merely decorative; they are essential for upgrading your Alohomora spell, allowing you to unlock more areas of Hogwarts and beyond. But how exactly do you unlock the ability to collect these statues, and what challenges await you on your moonlit quest?

To unlock the ability to collect Demiguise Statues, you must progress through the main storyline until you complete The First Trial quest. After the season changes to fall, Gladwin Moon, the Hogwarts caretaker, will task you with The Caretaker’s Lunar Lament quest. This quest teaches you the Alohomora spell, which is required to unlock doors and, more importantly, allows you to finally interact with the Demiguise Statues. Remember, you can only collect them at night!

Finding and Collecting Demiguise Statues

Once you have learned the Alohomora spell, the Demiguise Statues will begin to appear throughout the game world. Here’s a step-by-step guide to finding and collecting them:

1. Progress Through the Main Story: As mentioned before, Alohomora is the key. Continue the main story until you unlock this spell via The Caretaker’s Lunar Lament quest.

2. Wait for Nightfall: Demiguise Statues can only be collected at night. Use the map and press the “Wait” button (R3 on PlayStation controllers, or the equivalent on your platform) to advance the time of day.

3. Explore Thoroughly: Demiguise Statues are hidden in various locations, including Hogwarts, Hogsmeade, and the wider Highlands region. Look for them in locked rooms, behind counters, and in other secluded spots.

4. Use Alohomora: Many statues are behind locked doors. Use the Alohomora spell to open these doors. The difficulty of the lock (Level I, Level II, or Level III) will depend on how many Demiguise Moons you’ve already collected and turned in to Gladwin Moon.

5. Collect the Moon: Once you find a Demiguise Statue at night, simply interact with it to collect the Demiguise Moon it holds.

6. Return to Gladwin Moon: Collect the required number of Demiguise Moons (9 for Alohomora Level 2 and 13 for Alohomora Level 3), and return to Gladwin Moon to upgrade your spell.

Where to Find Early Demiguise Statues

While many statues are hidden, some are relatively easy to find early in the game:

• The Haunted Toilets (Hogwarts, South Wing): Teleport to the Clock Tower Courtyard Floo Flame, take the door next to the Floo Flame, and unlock the Haunted Toilets with Alohomora I. The statue is in a secret room inside the middle stall.
• Tomes and Scrolls (Hogsmeade): Go behind the counter and shopkeeper to the side room on your left. The Demiguise will be in here.
• Gladrags Wizardwear (Hogsmeade): Another Demiguise can be found on the counter as you enter from Hogsmeade Square.
• Great Hall (Hogwarts): Fast travel to the Great Hall Floo Flame and unlock the level one door on your right. The Demiguise is on a table inside.

Upgrading Alohomora and Exploring Further

As you collect more Demiguise Moons, you can upgrade your Alohomora spell by returning to Gladwin Moon. Upgrading the spell is crucial for unlocking higher-level doors and accessing previously inaccessible areas.

• 9 Demiguise Moons: Upgrade to Alohomora Level 2.
• 13 Demiguise Moons: Upgrade to Alohomora Level 3.

Finding all 30 Demiguise Statues will also reward you with the “Demiguise Dread” achievement or trophy.
