The world of Hogwarts Legacy is much more than a big castle, mountains and villages. I already told you that you can find many magical animals that you can rescue and take care of. Well, you can also find many plants and ingredients that you can reconnect and farm for use in combat and crafting potions.
Below I will tell you what all the plants and ingredients are, where to find them, how to grow or obtain them and their applications.
Hogwarts Legacy Plants and Ingredients
The first thing you should know is that all plants and ingredients can be obtained from merchants, by exploring the open world, or by breeding plants and animals in your Room of Requirement. In the case of plants, you can buy the seeds in shops The Magic Neep and Timofila and Canalejalocated west and north of Hogsmeade respectively. If it can be cultivated, it has seeds.
Plants: purchase, seeds and cultivation
- Chinese Chewing Cabbage: They are used in combat to bite enemies. Their seeds can be bought in Timofila and Canaleja and you can grow them in medium or large pots.
- Mandrake: They are used in combat to stun and damage groups of enemies. Their seeds are purchased in Timofila and Canaleja and you can grow them in pots of any size.
- Poisonous Tentacle: Used to damage enemies from a distance during combat. Its seeds can be purchased in Timofila and Canaleja and can be grown in large pots.
- Dittany: A medicinal herb used to make herbal potions. Its seeds can be purchased from The Magic Neep and can be grown in any size pot.
- Descurainia Sophia: A plant used to make Concentration and Felix Felicis potions. Its seeds are purchased from The Magic Neep and can be grown in large pots.
- Horklump Juice: These mushrooms are used to make herbal potions. You can buy them from merchants. You can recognize them because they sprout spikes (they do no harm) when you get close to them. They are usually found in damp, closed and/or underground places.
- Centidonia: A magical plant used to make Invisibility Potion. Its seeds are purchased from The Magic Neep and can be grown in pots of any size.
- Jumping Mushroom Hats: mushrooms that you can see jumping when you get close. They are usually found in wooded areas. They are used to make the Invisibility potion.
- Sweet Mallow: A plant that is used to start Merlin’s Trials. Its seeds are purchased from The Magic Neep and can be grown in pots of any size.
- Dried Fig: A very hardy plant that produces bulbs needed to make Thunderbrew Potion. Its seeds can be purchased from The Magic Neep and can be grown in medium or large pots.
All plants can be purchased from merchantsbut you won’t get the seeds. These are purchased separately and act as a recipe, meaning you never run out. You can plant and replace as many plants as you like in the different pots you can buy. Speaking of pots, here’s a shopping list.
It is very important that you invest all the galleons you can in buying all the seeds in The Magic Neep and Timofila and Canalejaand then you stop by Tomes and Scrolls. All three shops are located in Hogsmeade. In Tomes and Scrolls you will find a large repertoire of summoning magic for the Room of Requirement. It is a huge investment, but you will not regret it. In my opinion, the best for farming is:
- Gardening table wizardry with two large pots.
- Tabletop gardening wizardry with five small pots.
- Material Refiner’s Sorcery.
- Manure composting wizardry.
- Cutting post witchcraft.
- Animal Feeder Witchcraft.
- Animal Toy Box Wizardry.
With this list of materials you will have everything you need to plant all the types of plants available in the game. You can place a maximum of 7 growing tables, for example. I recommend the following layout, which you can see in the image:
- x5 large two-pot tables for medium-large plants
- x2 tables of five small pots for small plants (you can repeat one).
- x3 manure composterswhich is used to improve the performance of plantations.
- x3 material refiners to obtain opals.
- x3 cutting positions to get random plants every so often.
With this arrangement you will no longer have problems with the supply of plants that you can plant. In the potions guide I’ll also tell you what you should buy and how to manage space to optimize your time. Farming plants and materials is time-based. All you have to do is go over there, pick up what you’ve planted, and wait for it to grow back.
Ingredients: Purchase, Where to Get Them and Applications
The ingredients can be buy from merchants and get in the open world. At the moment, they cannot be planted or obtained in other ways. They are as follows:
- Ashwainder Eggs: These are warm eggs (they do no harm) that you can find near cliffs and in steep areas. They are used to make the Edurus Potion.
- Dugbog language: dugbog tongue, a toad with a very bad temper. They are usually found near water and in wet areas such as swamps. It is used to make Concentration Potion.
- Chrysopus: These are firefly wings (they emit light) that you can find in bushes located in open fields. I recommend going out at night to find them more easily. They are used to make Concentration and Felix Felicis potions.
- Leech Juice: Leech extract used to make the potions Maximus and Thunderbrew. They are usually found on the banks of rivers and lakes and on beaches. They are usually found in groups of three or four.
- Opal: Blue ore located near rock formations. You need this ingredient to perform summoning magic in the Room of Requirement. You can craft it passively at Cutting Stations.
- Spider Fang: These fangs contain residual venom useful for making the Ultimate Potion. Kills spiders.
- Stench of the Dead: Inferi essence. Used to brew Thunderbrew Potion.
- Troll Snot: used to craft Invisibility Potion. Kills Trolls.
- Chucho’s fur:Used to make Edurus Potion. Kills Puppies.
Special Ingredients
These special ingredients are obtained by raising and caring for animals in your Room of Requirement. You must pamper them and feed them to get subjects from each one. Then you will have to wait a while. To make your life easier, I recommend you put x1 animal feeder and x1 toy box for animals in each of the available rooms so that they are fed and can play.
- Graphorn’s Horn.
- Niffler’s fur.
- Kneaze fur.
- Mooncalf coat.
- Puffskein coat.
- Thestral hair.
- Unicorn Hair.
- Diricawl feather.
- Fwooper’s feather.
- Phoenix Feather.
- Hupogrifo feather.
- Jobberknoll’s pen.
- Toad Wart.
And what are these materials for? You can use them on the Loomanother summoning sorcery you get during a side quest with Deek, to upgrade and apply modifiers to items of equipment. You can upgrade them up to three times and apply modifiers you get from chests in enemy camps.
As you progress through the story, Deek will contact you to rescue a certain animal and teach you how to breed new animals from a male and a female. It requires a summoning spell that you get during the quest. It’s very simple: place the structure (I recommend x1 in each room), open the menu of said structure, select a male and female of the same species, and wait a while. When you return, there will be a baby, which will also give you materials.
And this is all you need to know about the plants and ingredients of Hogwarts LegacySome you can only obtain through exploration, but most can be obtained in the Room of Requirement… but it requires a large investment of time and money. I wish Avalanche Software would introduce an animal and plant expansion with new stories, plants, ingredients and animals, and mechanics.
