How to get to the Dark Arts Battle Arena in Hogwarts Legacy?

Before its release, Hogwarts Legacy s has sparked a lot of controversy because of a specific gameplay element: the Dark Arts Battle Arena. Players were shocked to discover that they could repeatedly cast unforgivable spells in this arena. Are you curious to see how it works? We'll tell you everything!

It's important to note that this Dark Magic Arena is not available in all versions of "Hogwarts Legacy". In reality, it's a bonus only for players who purchased the Collector's or Deluxe edition of the game. However, you won't be able to access it right away. To play, you first need to go to Hogsmeade and have access to the Forbidden Forest.

When you first enter the Forbidden Forest, you'll see purple streaks appear on the ground, follow them until you reach a statue that marks the entrance to the Dark Magic Arena. To open this arena, you need to find and break 10 white vases, use the spell "Revelio" to easily locate them. Once this is done, you'll have access to the arena and can try it, but be warned, the challenge that awaits you is not an easy one.

You will have to fight against multiple waves of enemies, some of which are very powerful. You can use the unforgivable curses to defeat them as you wish. However, it is important to note that you will not retain these spells once the battle is over. To be able to use the curses outside of the arena, you will need to find other ways to learn them, which is possible. Congratulations, you now know how to access the Dark Arts Battle Arena in Hogwarts Legacy.

Although it is frustrating that the Dark Arts Battle Arena is locked behind the purchase of a higher edition of the game, the developers have confirmed that there will be no microtransactions for Hogwarts Legacy. So, there will be nothing else to purchase once you have the game.
