How to claim Ancient Magic Hotspots?
There are 20 Ancient Magic Hotspots in Hogwarts Legacy, and they are a collectible unique to the Highlands region. Hotspots are marked on your minimap and world map once you find yourself in their vicinity - all is left to do is to claim them.
After a certain amount of completed Hotspots, your Ancient Magic Meter will be increased.
Here are the thresholds:
- 2 Hotspots (+1 to Meter),
- 6 Hotspots (+1 to Meter),
- 12 Hotspots (+1 to Meter).
After claiming enough Hotspots, your hero can have a total of 4 Ancient Magic bars. After receiving the notification that a threshold has been passed, go to menu -> challenges -> exploration and accept the reward.
After reaching the vicinity of an Ancient Magic Hotspot, follow the traces that appear on the ground, then investigate the Hotspot. Once interacted, 3 blue lines will spring out from the Hotspot, which you need to follow and collect the magic bits at the end of each of them.
To make matters easier, use Revelio and remember that some areas are only accessible by broom.
