If you’re venturing through the magical world of Hogwarts Legacy, you’ve likely encountered the peculiar Demiguise Statues. These enigmatic figures, each holding a glowing moon, are not just decorative elements; they are crucial to both your progression and your quest for completion. But what exactly happens when you manage to collect every single one of them? The simple answer is that collecting all 30 Demiguise statues unlocks the “Demiguise Dread” achievement/trophy and completes the associated questline, but it is far more than just a simple achievement. Collecting all the statues unlocks level 3 Alohomora so you can open the most difficult locks throughout the game, and provides unique insights into a peculiar character, Mr. Moon.
The Path to Complete Collection
The journey to collect all Demiguise statues is a multi-stage process that begins early in your Hogwarts adventure with the quest “The Caretaker’s Lunar Lament”. You’ll be introduced to the caretaker, Gladwin Moon, and his rather peculiar fear of the Demiguise creatures. As you explore Hogwarts, Hogsmeade, and the surrounding hamlets, you’ll find more statues, each requiring the Alohomora spell to unlock. Importantly, these statues can only be collected at night. Each statue resembles a Demiguise holding a glowing moon, and it’s these moons that you need to collect.
Upgrading Alohomora
Initially, your Alohomora spell, used to pick locks, can only open level 1 locks. However, by collecting the Demiguise Moons and returning them to Mr. Moon, he will upgrade your spell. Collecting nine moons allows you to unlock level 2 locks, and collecting an additional 13, for a total of 22, allows you to unlock level 3 locks. This upgrade is essential for accessing all areas and collecting all items in the game. While only 22 moons are needed to fully upgrade Alohomora, you are required to collect all 30 to complete the related side quest.
The Demiguise Dread Achievement
Beyond the Alohomora upgrades, the main reward for collecting all 30 Demiguise Moons is the “Demiguise Dread” achievement or trophy. This achievement serves as a testament to your thoroughness and dedication to exploring the hidden corners of the game. For completionist players, it is a crucial step towards achieving 100% completion.
Completing the Quest
The quest doesn’t end with the Alohomora upgrades or the achievement. After collecting all Demiguise Moons, you will need to speak to Piers, then report back to Gladwin Moon to finally close the storyline, providing more details of his fear and the reason behind the placement of the statues. This concludes the questline, providing a satisfying resolution to Mr. Moon’s peculiar problem.
Unraveling the Mystery of the Demiguise
The Demiguise statues, though seemingly innocuous, are part of a larger narrative puzzle. It turns out that the statues were placed to target Mr. Moon, not due to any supernatural reason, but because of a prank. According to Gladwin, his childhood bully, Mr Pemberton, placed the statues to torment him, playing on his irrational fear. This adds a humorous, personal layer to the collection quest, making it more than just a fetch quest.
Why Collect All 30?
While you only need 22 Demiguise Moons to unlock the final Alohomora upgrade, finding all 30 is essential for a few key reasons:
- Achievement/Trophy: The “Demiguise Dread” achievement/trophy is a major incentive for players aiming to fully complete the game.
- Quest Completion: Collecting all 30 is a requirement to fully conclude the side quest and gain closure with the narrative.
- Completionist Experience: For players who want to explore every aspect of the game, finding all Demiguise statues adds to the depth of their gameplay experience.
- Exploration: The process of finding all 30 statues encourages you to explore the vast and detailed world of Hogwarts Legacy.
