In Hogwarts Legacy, there are three endings: Evil, Good, and Secret, marking the end of the training year. The first two differ by a single cutscene, while the third is revealed after completing a set of side activities, a sequence reminiscent of a finale transition observed in other games like Batman: Arkham Knight.
How to reach a bad ending
The bad ending is shaped by the dialogue choices made during the 46th mission, The Last Vault, particularly the final exchange with Professor Fig.
Available responses include:
- I am going to open it.
- Such power cannot be hidden from the world.
Following that choice, the hero must defeat Ranrok, who has transformed into a dragon. Defeating him triggers the awakening of ancient magic within the protagonist. The eyes glow red as an omen of the looming darkness. Concrete consequences unfold later, and the player can return to Hogwarts to continue other tasks. Professor Fig dies before the battle, but the farewell ceremony mirrors that of the other finales.
Further exploration of the storyline can be found in a dedicated guide to Hogwarts Legacy’s narrative.
How to achieve a good ending
During the mission The Last Storage, the player must select one of the following lines:
- I intend to let the power in.
The next choice appears as:
- I’ll keep it a secret forever.
The second dialogue choice does not alter the ending. After the Ranrok battle, Professor Fig helps seal the Ancient Magic to keep it hidden from other wizards. Though the effort remains taxing, Fig perishes, and the world is safeguarded. He notes that the secrets will stay protected because of the player’s actions, ensuring safety for the magical community.
The sequence features a number of additional videos and aligns with the game’s broader arc in a manner similar to other finales in popular titles.
Toward the secret ending
The secret ending unfolds through a set of new videos and does not depend on dialogue choices in the 46th task. Access requires meeting specific conditions after the final battle with Ranrok. In this ending, the player simply watches the concluding sequence; the Hogwarts Cup is awarded to the house with the most points, and the player is publicly praised for courage shown during the confrontation with goblins.
