2 Slytherin's House-Exclusive Quest Involves A Famous Wizard Family

Hogwarts Legacy Quest: Scrope's Last Hope

Sebastian in Hogwarts Legacy touches a book that begins floating.

Slytherin students start out their quest after going on a bit of a scavenger hunt for notes left by the heaster's house elf named Scrope. Eventually, Scrope himself appears and explains that he needs a ring retrieved from Appolonia Black's grotto. It is there that the protagonist gets to meet Richard Jackdaw, who its he sold the ring but has some important missing pages with his corpse.

Poor Scrope was not able to get the ring, but for anyone who like seeking out clues and following threads, the quest makes for a fun series of scavenger hunts anyway. It's also interesting for lore, since it involves the Black family and ancestors of fan-favorite Sirius Black. Still, the ending feels a bit anticlimactic, since Jacksaw already sold the ring.

1 Hufflepuff's House-Exclusive Quest Goes To Azkaban

Hogwarts Legacy Quest: Prisoner Of Love

of Hufflepuff have the best house-specific quest in Hogwarts Legacy with the "Prisoner of Love" questline. A portrait of a past Minister of Magic requests the player's assistance in solving a decades-old murder mystery. Student Richard Jackdaw went missing and was later found as a ghost, and a young woman, Anne, was charged with his murder without any proof.

This journey provides the most interesting and unique benefit of any Hogwarts Legacy house-specific quest by taking players to the exclusive location of Azkaban Prison. There, they meet with Anne before heading to complete the puzzles Richard had originally made for Anne when he was trying to woo her. It's an oddly dark storyline with nice story beat moments, and going to Azkaban is the highlight.

Each of these exclusive Hogwarts Legacy house quests brings to light a different piece of the story of Richard Jackdaw. The mystery surrounding Jackdaw continues in later quests and these introductions to him are clever ways to not only bring him into the story but encourage players to replay the game through different houses. Doing each quest with a new character is also necessary for trophy hunters who want to 100% the game, since trophies and achievements are tied to each house quest. Hogwarts Legacy has a few other areas where dialogues and small details may vary between the different houses, but for the most part, the above quests are the only ones that are truly unique from each other.
