Where to find Hippogriffs in Hogwarts Legacy

The Wizarding World is home to numerous majestic beasts and creatures. Among these creatures, Hippogriff is one of the rarest mythical creatures in the Harry Potter universe. It was first seen in Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban. Hippogriff is a half-eagle half-horse creature. Anyone who approaches it is required to show respect, which Draco Malfoy showed us in the movie. Devs did a fantastic job of adding this beautiful beast to Hogwarts Legacy.

Riding Hippogriff is a great way to travel in Hogwarts Legacy. However, they are among the most difficult beasts to locate in the game, so you won’t be able to find and tame one easily. Other than just riding, players can also get the Hippogriff Feathers from it, which is a very useful crafting material. Hogwarts Legacy has its own take on the crafting system; obtaining some of these essential materials is crucial for giving your wizard an advantage in some of the toughest battles.
