As you play Hogwarts Legacy, you may come across chests with a single eye . This page of the guide provides information on how to open chests with an eye - we have described the technique of outsmarting the eye so that it does not close the chest when you try to approach it. In addition, we inform you what you can find in chests with an eye.
Problem with opening eye chests
Chests with one large eye can be found quite regularly while exploring the main locations of the game - Hogwarts and Hogsmeade.
The eye of the chest may notice your character and close to block access to the contents of the chest. You can't open this type of chest by force - spell attacks won't do anything.
A way of outsmarting the eye chest
Wait until you unlock the The Secrets of Banned Books main quest in the main storyline. During this mission, you will unlock access to the Disillusionment spell .
Set the Disillusionment spell as one of the 4 active Quick Select spells.
Move away from the discovered chest so that it loses sight of your character - the eye will open again. Now activate the Disillusionment spell . It will allow you to sneak into the chest while remaining undetected (example in the screenshot).
You can open the chest while camouflaged . There are 500 gold pieces to find in each of these chests. Opening chests with an eye is therefore a good way to get rich quickly.
