When can you get a unicorn in Hogwarts Legacy?
You can get a unicorn in Hogwarts Legacy after attending your first Beast Class and unlocking the vivarium in the Room of Requirement, as this will provide you with the necessary tools to capture and store a unicorn. To catch a unicorn, players need to complete specific steps, including using Accio to hinder its movement, casting the Glacius spell or Arresto Momentum to freeze or hold the unicorn in its place, and then grabbing the Nab-Sack to capture the Magical Beast.
Overview of Unicorn Capture
Introduction to Unicorn Den
To increase your chances of capturing a unicorn, it’s essential to understand that a unicorn den only spawns one unicorn for in-game days, after which it will respawn. Completing a specific side quest can allow the unicorn den to spawn two unicorns, but this is limited to that particular quest, and the gender of the unicorns can be randomized.
Breeding Unicorns
Unicorns can be bred in the game, and their offspring will only appear as gold, which is similar to the adult “shiny” color. The offspring can also bear the shiny star mark, but they will still be the same color as the standard offspring.
