Hedge Mazes are one of the many mysteries found in Hogwarts Legacy. Although there are only five throughout the massive map, the mazes are surprisingly hard to find. That’s because Hedge Mazes are randomly generated, which means that the mazes have fixed locations, but they appear at random times of the day.
Unlike Treasure Vaults in Hogwarts Legacy, the Hedge Mazes icon won’t appear on the map if players passed by its location. It can be only marked on the map if the maze actually spawns in the Highlands. Each one rewards a Legendary Chest and four of the mazes give a page explaining the backstory to the creator.
All Hedge Maze Locations In Hogwarts Legacy
There are a total of five Hedge Mazes in Hogwarts Legacy which can be found in the following locations:
- East from the Upper Hogsfield Floo Flame, near a Giant Purple Toad Beast Den.
- Southwest of the Lower Hogsfield Floo Flame.
- South of the Northern South Sea Bog Floo Flame, near a Merlin Trial in Hogwarts Legacy.
- South of the Phoenix Mountain Cave Floo Flame.
- South of the Cragcroft Floo Flame.
Players’ level doesn’t matter as long as they can leave the castle’s walls and explore the Highlands. The only problem early-game players will face is the ability to travel from one point to another as the mazes aren’t practically close to each other. Protagonists that haven’t unlocked the ability to travel via Broom or a mount in Hogwarts Legacy must walk all the way to Cragcroft which is one of the late-game areas that is filled with difficult enemies.
The Hedge Mazes will definitely appear in these locations but at a random time. It also doesn’t matter if it’s daytime or nighttime as the maze can be completed at any time. Fast-forwarding the time via the Wait map option won’t work as the mazes spawn haphazardly.
If by any chance protagonists are facing trouble with locating the Hedge Mazes, it’s possible to save and load the game to refresh the area. The Hedge Mazes spawn randomly in their five locations, so after loading the game, keep visiting each location until all the mazes are found.
How To Solve Hedge Mazes In Hogwarts Legacy
To solve the Hedge Maze, protagonists must find and approach the Legendary Chest hidden inside the maze. By using Revelio, players will see the marked chest through the hedges to know where to go, since each maze has a random layout.
Other than the Legendary Chest that rewards Legendary Gear in Hogwarts Legacy, it’s possible to find lost pages of the creator’s backstory on how these mazes came to exist. Although the pages are inside the maze, players don’t have to search for them and waste time as approaching the chest will remove the hedges, making the page easily visible.
Hogwarts Legacy is available now on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. PS4, Xbox One, and Switch versions are currently in development.
