Unlike most of the Regions in Hogwarts Legacy where the Treasure Vaults are found extremely far away from each other, Cragcroftshire’s mini-dungeons are close to each other. This means that it’s possible for players to complete one vault and then immediately move on to the next one without needing to return to the Floo Flame.
Cragcroftshire is one of the late-game Regions in Hogwarts Legacy as it contains tougher enemies and more challenging puzzles in its Treasure Vaults.
Updated on July 31, 2023, by Nahda Nabiilah: Treasure Vaults is a feature in Hogwarts Legacy where players can explore the area to gain various rewards. However, the adventure will not be easy as there are several Spells people must master if they wish to have a smooth journey. To help people travel effortlessly, this article will be updated to include a section that lists out all the Spells required to solve all the puzzles in Cragcroftshire Treasure Vaults.
Cragcroftshire Treasure Vaults And How To Open Them In Hogwarts Legacy
A total of 13 Treasure Vaults can be found in Cragcroftshire, and some of them involve an enchanted cube that needs a certain spell to activate it.
Treasure Vault #1
The first vault is close to the Cragcroft Shore Floo Flame. Once players are out of the unmountable area, head left around the mountain to find the vault’s entrance next to the waterfall.
Go west from the platform to find the enchanted cube next to a couple of broken cages. Guide it back to its platform using Accio or Wingardium Leviosa and cast a fire spell to activate it. Defeat the Inferius inside the vault and open the chest.
If players are facing trouble guiding the cube, use the Levitation spell to place the cube on one of the rocks then swim to the platform and retrieve it.
Treasure Vault #2
The second vault is found southeast of the Cragcroft Shore Floo Flame on top of a mountain. Burn the spider webs and claim the treasure chest inside.
Treasure Vault #3
The third vault is located in the western part of Cragcroftshire but can be easily accessed by heading east from the previous vault. Dive onto the waters inside to claim the treasure.
Treasure Vault #4
Fly southeast from the Cragcroft Shore waypoint to reach the vault or simply go east from the third vault since it’s easier. Burn the spider webs using a fire spell in Hogwarts Legacy and enter the cave. Inside, players have to fight an Acromantula before solving the puzzle.
Once the fight is over, target the floating rocks and stop them with basic attacks to spawn the chest.
Treasure Vault #5
The following vault is also found in the western parts of the Cragcroftshire Region. Sadly the vault’s door requires Alohomora III which means collecting numerous Demiguise Statues in Hogwarts Legacy is inevitable. To get the chest, go through the archway from the other side and turn around to find it.
Treasure Vault #6
While still in the western part of Cragcroftshire, fly southeast from the previous location to find the next vault. Use Accio or Depulso to open the gate.
To solve the puzzle inside, use Wingardium Leviosa on the cube and levitate it through the opening above the shortest pillars. Next, aim at the cube from between the pillars and cast Depulso to force it onto its platform, solving the puzzle.
Treasure Vault #7
The seventh Treasure Vault is south of the Cragcroft Floo Flame.
Once inside, cast Revelio to mark four out of the 12 levers and use Accio to pull them. The key levers are not the same for each player as it is random.
Treasure Vault #8
Since this vault is also located south of the Cragcroft Floo Flame, it’s possible to reach it by heading south from the seventh vault instead. Turn west to find the enchanted cube in a broken boat and bring it back. Cast Glacius in Hogwarts Legacy to open the vault’s entrance and claim the treasure.
Treasure Vault #9
Head southwest from the Cragcroft waypoint to find the vault next to some Moonstones in Hogwarts Legacy. Cast Alohomora III to open the door and enter the cave. Approach the illusionary wall left of the room’s entrance to find the chest.
Treasure Vault #10
The 10th vault is reached by flying southwest of Cragcroft Hamlet or flying west from the previous location. The entrance can be found on the shore, so protagonists might need to fly down to see it. Burn the vines on the right side and pull the lever to open the door and get the chest.
Treasure Vault #11
Head north from the Cragcroft Floo Flame to reach the 11th vault. Pull the two levers on each side of the gate to open it. A chess puzzle is inside, and it possesses three solutions.
Chess Puzzle Solution - Rook
- Turn northeast to find a cauldron.
- Use Transformation to transfigure it into a Rook chess piece.
- Cast Wingardium Leviosa and move it to H8.
Chess Puzzle Solution - Knight
- Look northwest to see a chair.
- Transfigure it into a Knight chess piece.
- Levitate it to F6.
Chess Puzzle Solution - Bishop
- A vase can be found southwest.
- Transform it into a Bishop.
- Move it to G6.
Treasure Vault #12
From the Cragcroft waypoint, fly northwest to see the vault above a firefly Merlin Trial in Hogwarts Legacy. To find the enchanted cube, run northeast from the platform to defeat a couple of spiders before guiding it back. Cast a fire spell and head inside to stumble upon yet another chess puzzle, but this time, it only has two solutions.
Chess Puzzle Solution - Knight
- Run north to the chair.
- Transform it into a Knight chess piece.
- Move it to A3.
Chess Puzzle Solution - Bishop
- Turn southwest to the vase.
- Transfigure it into a Bishop.
- Levitate the chess piece to A2.
Treasure Vault #13
The final vault is located in the northern part of Cragcroft and can be reached by flying northeast from the previous one. To open the vault, turn east to guide the enchanted cube back to its platform. Cast Glacius and enter the cave to claim the chest.
All Necessary Spells To Unlock Cragcroftshire Treasure Vaults In Hogwarts Legacy
Unlocking all of Cragcroftshire’s Treasure Vaults calls for a variety of Spells in Hogwarts Legacy.
Accio
The Accio Spell is used to pull items or enemies toward the caster. Players can learn it during the first Charm Class with Professor Ronen. Later on, the Spell will be heavily practiced during a friendly game of Summoner’s Court.
Wingardium Leviosa
Wingardium Leviosa is probably one of the most known spells in the Harry Potter series thanks to Hermione's legendary Levi-O-sa in the first movie. Although players are starting as a fifth-year, this basic Spell can still be learned by completing Professor Garlick’s Assignment 1 Quest.
Alohomora III
Sadly, some Vault doors are locked and require a high level of the Alohomora Spell. Since Hogwarts Legacy split the Spell into three levels, here’s how to unlock Alohomora III:
- Alohomora I: Complete Percival Rackham's Trial Quest and The Caretaker's Lunar Lament Quest.
- Alohomora II: Collect nine Demiguise Moons and deliver them back to Gladwin Moon.
- Alohomora III: Collect 13 Demiguise Moons and deliver them back to Gladwin Moon.
Depulso
Thankfully, Professor Sharp has endless patience when teaching players Depulso. The Ex-Auror hands out a couple of tasks during Professor Sharp’s Assignment 1 Quest that must be completed to learn the Spell. Said tasks are:
- Acquire and use a Focus Potion.
- Acquire Maxima and Edurus Potions, and use them simultaneously.
Glacius
Upon completing The Map Chamber Main Quest, Madam Kogawa’s Assignment 1 Quest is triggered. Students are sent to pop balloons while flying on a Broom in certain places. Once the mission is done, return to Madam Kogawa to learn the freezing Spell, Glacius.
Transformation
The Transformation Spell is a type of Transfiguration in Hogwarts Legacy taught in Professor Weasley's Assignment Quest. To learn Transformation, Professor Weasley asks people to collect some Field Guide Pages in Hogwarts Legacy:
- Collect the Field Guide Page in the Underground Harbor.
- Collect the Field Guide Page from the book on Intermediate Transfiguration in the Library.
Fire Spell
Fire Spells are mostly used in combat especially when fighting an Acromantula in Hogwarts Legacy. While exploring Treasure Vaults in Cragcroftshire, Fire Spells help remove spider webbing from the entrance or activate a fire cube.
- Incendio: Complete Professor Hecat's Assignment I Quest.
- Confringo: Complete In the Shadow of the Undercroft Quest.
- Bombarda: Complete Professor Howin's Assignment Quest.
Hogwarts Legacy is available now on PS5, Xbox Series S/X, and PC. PS4, Xbox One, and Switch versions are currently in development.
