“A cloak fashioned from dragonhide for the bravest defenders, earned by defeating Ashwinders and poachers.”

It seems a little hypocritical for a cloak to boast of how it was made after defeating poachers, to then fashion a cloak from dragonhide, but the Dragonhide Protector’s Cloak is quite fashionable and helps students of Hogwarts stand out as they venture through the school and Hogsmeade. Although one has to admit to the irony that to obtain a coat made of dragon hide, one must defeat poachers, the very group of people that are actively going out of their way to harm dragons that could just be defending their eggs and territory.

“A well-appointed school robe, exemplary of traditional Hogwarts style.”

“A suit of armor for the bravest arachnid battler, earned by defeating spiders.”

  • Rarity: Legendary

This one goes out to the arachnophobic players, as they will be rewarded for braving their fears and squishing as many giant spiders as they can to obtain this metallic suit of armor. Despite its shine, the suit of armor offers no protection outside of being cosmetic; however, the player will look pretty good whilst casting spells, rolling, and jumping around the intense battlefield filled with witches, wizards, and beasts.

The Spider Slayer Armour is a great set and is perhaps the most visually distinct outfit in Hogwarts Legacy. Thanks to this option, players can decide if they want to be a simple witch/wizard or a knight who has found magic. It adds a level of fun to an already fun game.
