In the wonderful world of Hogwarts Legacy, players can find all types of spells and potions to help make the journey a bit easier. One of the many challenges that may occur is a skittish chest that possesses one eye which refuses to open. It’s impossible to sneak around it or walk slowly towards it, as the one-eye chest will immediately panic and close itself shut.
An easy solution for this problem is to use an invisibility spell, which allows wizards and witches to move around undetected in Hogwarts Legacy. Luckily, the spell is obtainable by completing one of the main quests, so players don’t have to search for it or finish a difficult side quest.
How To Open Chests With Eyes In Hogwarts Legacy
To open chests with eyes in Hogwarts Legacy, players must use the Disillusionment spell and approach the chest slowly. Once they are close enough, interact with it to get 500 Galleons, which is a decent amount considering most pouches and small chests reward 10 to 50 Galleons.
If by any chance the one-eye chest saw players before applying the invisibility spell, sprint away from the chest until it relaxes in Hogwarts Legacy, and then cast the Disillusionment spell and approach it carefully.
According to the game’s description, the Disillusionment spell causes the caster to blend into the surroundings, making it difficult for others, such as enemies and guards, to detect them. It’s also the perfect spell for sneaking around and approaching enemies to perform the binding spell, Petrificus Totalus.
How To Get The Disillusionment Spell In Hogwarts Legacy
To get the Disillusionment spell, it’s crucial that players complete the Secrets of the Restricted Section main quest in Hogwarts Legacy. Sebastian Sallow from Slytherin will be the student who teaches the protagonist this spell, as he used it many times to cause some mischief. Luckily, this main quest will occur quite early on in the game, so players will get to open the one-eye chests very soon.
Considering Professor Fig is busy with the Headmaster and won’t be able to visit the restricted section with the protagonists, the main character takes it upon themselves to discover the dangerous area alone, but not without learning a useful spell from Sebastian in Hogwarts Legacy. To learn the Disillusionment spell, follow the line and press the correct buttons in the correct order to successfully add it to the spell collections.
Soon enough, players will arrive at the lower floor of the restricted section, which is full of watchful ghosts that’ll sense players’ presence even with the Disillusionment spell. Use the basic attack button and aim at different spots on the wall or a random item to grab their attention and sneak around safely.
Hogwarts Legacy is available now on PS5, Xbox Series S|X, and PC. PS4, Xbox One, and Switch versions are currently in development.
