All Landing Platform locations in Hogwarts Legacy

Jesse Lennox
By

No open-world game would be complete without a bunch of collectibles. Among the many types in Hogwarts Legacy, the Landing Platforms are perhaps the most difficult to actually find. Unlike most objectives, places, and items that appear on your map, Landing Platforms have to be spotted by eye, with no help from your map. Aside from getting you one step closer to doing everything there is to do in this massive game, there are several rewards you can unlock by finding them, plus it is required if you want to get that Collector’s Edition trophy/achievement. To save you the hassle of flying around aimlessly, here are all the Landing Platform locations in Hogwarts Legacy.

How Landing Platforms work

Landing Platforms are special, ornate-looking platforms that have four unlit braziers. You can only reach them once you’ve unlocked your broom, after which you can fly around and land on them to ignite the fires and “collect” them. Make sure you stand on them long enough for the platform to rotate and the fires are fully alight or it may not count. There are 20 in total, and as you find and activate them, you will get four total rewards from your Challenge menu.

While they don’t show up on your map, you can at least see how many are left in a given area by zooming out on your map and looking at the totals for each region.

All Landing Platform locations

We will list all the Landing Platforms going from north to south on the map and give directions based on the closest Floo Flame you can fast travel to. If you’re in the right area, but not seeing the platform, you can cast Revelio to highlight them through objects.

  1. In North Ford Bog, head directly south from the Pitt-Upon-Ford Floo Flame. It will be on top of a wooden scaffolding.
  2. From the East North Ford Bog flame, go due east and slightly north. This will be on another scaffold.
  3. Going down south to the very bottom of the Forbidden Forest, go straight west from the East North Hogwarts Region flame. The platform is on top of a small rocky outcropping.
  4. If you follow the river further west from the previous platform, you’ll find the next one along the cliff wall north of the river.
  5. This one is a long ride south from the East Hogsmeade Valley flame. Once you come to the ridge, the platform will be visible on a plateau.
  6. In the South Hogwarts Region, go south from the Aranshire flame. This is another one hiding on a plateau near the road.
  7. Down in Hogwarts Valley, go slightly north of the West Hogwarts Valley flame. This one is on the large, flat top of a ridge.
  8. Due northeast of North Feldcroft, this platform is on a grassy cliff beside the road.
  9. Follow the river northwest of Keenbridge and until you find some castle ruins. The platform is on top of one of the ruined buildings.
  10. Straight east of Feldcroft, this platform is on top of a ruined tower by the coast.
  11. This one is almost directly on top of the South Feldcroft flame on a tiny hill by the water.
  12. Take the Mine’s Eye flame and then move southwest. The platform is slightly hidden by some trees on the mountain.
  13. At the Irondale flame, go southwest along the river to the little island. It is up next to the ruins of a castle.
  14. On the Marunweem Bridge, go to the southeast side and to the top of the keep.
  15. Follow the mountains to the east from the Coastal Mine flame until you spot the platform near a series of banners.
  16. Starting at the Marunweem Ruins, go west to the peninsula. This platform is on its own spire out in the water.
  17. Due true north from the West Manor Cape, this one is also just off the coast on its own spit of land.
  18. From that same Floo Flame, this time follow the coast south and over the ocean to see this platform sticking out from the mainland.
  19. Go all the way to the south peninsula from the Cragcroft flame. Overlooking the water and some ruins is this platform.
  20. Ride east and slightly south from Clagmar Castle and over to the cliff’s ocean side. This platform is tucked along the cliff face.

All Landing Platform rewards

You will earn four different pieces of gear for specific increments of platforms you unlock that will result in the full Quidditch Captain set. While there’s unfortunately no way to actually play Quidditch in Hogwarts Legacy, you can at least pretend with this set. Here’s which pieces you unlock and when:

  • Two platforms: Quidditch Captain’s Uniform
  • Six platforms: Quidditch Captain’s Helmet
  • 12 platforms: Quidditch Captain’s Gloves
  • 20 platforms: Quidditch Captain’s Cape

These rewards are not given to you simply for finding the required number of Landing Platforms. Like any other Collection challenge in Hogwarts Legacy, you need to manually claim them as you go, or simply wait until you’ve gotten them all and get them all at once. To claim them, you need to go into your Collections menu and select them.

A wizard zaps someone off camera with red magic in Hogwarts Legacy,

The entire appeal of creating your own student in Hogwarts Legacy is getting to live the life of a young witch or wizard in the titular academy. Just like the source material, the game doesn't dwell too much on the more boring aspects of student life, but becoming a powerful spellcaster will require you to learn from those wiser than yourself. The more spells you learn, the more you can do in and out of combat. Of course, there are only so many spells that can be included in a game, but if you want to know if you can cast your favorite, and how to learn it, pay attention to our lesson on every spell in Hogwarts Legacy.
How spells are unlocked

Spells can be learned in a few ways in Hogwarts Legacy. The most common way is to complete assignments given out by the cast of professors you will meet. Nearly every spell is optional for going through the main game, but it is well worth doing these assignments after you attend that professor's class for the first time to give yourself as many options as possible.

A new update fixes many bugs and crashes for the controversial Harry Potter game Hogwarts Legacy, but PlayStation 5 players are waiting a little longer than those on other platforms.
A developer comment on the patch notes says that this latest Hogwarts Legacy update "addresses overall gameplay performance and stability as well as online connection improvements." Several game crashing events were fixed, as was an issue with owl mail preventing progression. You can check out the patch notes for more specific details on the updates and specific fixes for every platform the game is currently on but PS5. 
This patch was rolled out on PC and Xbox Series X versions of the game on February 14, but developer Avalanche Software clarified on Twitter that "due to some unforeseen issues, we're targeting later this week to get your patch to you." When it does arrive, it will fix an issue preventing some players from getting the "Collector's Edition" trophy, though.

Hogwarts Legacy was released on February 10, but it has proven to be a divisive release due to franchise creator J.K. Rowling's transphobic comments in recent years. The game itself received mostly positive reviews, although Digital Trends was a bit less high on it. We gave the game two-and-a-half stars, saying, "Hogwarts Legacy delivers a perfectly competent adventure, but its most unforgivable curse is its lack of imagination."
Hogwarts Legacy is available now for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X. It will come to PS4 and Xbox One on April 4 before finally launching for Nintendo Switch on July 25.

Hogwarts Legacy: all Daedalian Key locations

A wizard walks through the open-world of Hogwarts Legacy.

Hogwarts Legacy is full of things to collect and loot, most of which comes from good, old fashioned treasure chests. While most can be opened freely, there's one in particular that is arguably the most difficult to crack open. The house chest is dangled in front of you very early on in the game, but you won't be able to open it for quite a while. The first step to doing so is to find 16 Daedalian Keys, which is already a lot before considering the magical twist this game puts on hunting them down. To save you from snapping your wand in two, here are all the Daedalian Key locations in Hogwarts Legacy, plus how to finally crack open your house chest.
How to start the Daedalian Key quest

To actually begin this quest of hunting down the keys, you will need to head outside and speak to a student named Nellie Oggspire. You can find her in the Transfiguration Courtyard, and she will tell you about these winged keys flying all around the area, as well as the location of the first one to help get you started. As you find the keys, they will lead you to a special cabinet where you start a minigame. The goal is to "slap" the key as it flies directly over the keyhole to unlock the cabinet. You can't fail at it, so take as many tries as you need. Once you nail it, the cabinet will open and give you a House Token.
All Daedalian Key locations
There are 16 total Daedalian Keys to hunt down to complete this quest, three of which you won't be able to get until you unlock the Alohomora spell by completing "The Caretaker's Lunar Lament" quest. We will note those specific keys for you so you know which to wait to get until you have that spell. These are the locations where you will find the keys themselves, but remember that you need to follow them to their associated cabinet and complete the timing minigame to actually collect the House Tokens you're looking for.
