Hogwarts Legacy: Make money fast – open chests with eyes

In Hogwarts Legacy you sometimes need a lot of coal for brooms, recipes or potions. To earn money quickly, you open the chests in Hogwarts Castle with your eyes. If you take a closer look at the chests, you will find a symbol in the middle, which indicates the required magic. You should already have secretly examined the library in the main missions. Together with Sebastien you visit the forbidden department. Prior to this mission, you will learn the Disillusionment spell. If you compare the symbol of the spell with the symbol on the chest, you will come up with the solution. If you open such an eye chest, you will receive a whopping 500 galleons. In addition to Hogwarts Castle, you will also find plenty of such chests in Hogsmeade.

Disillusionment to open eye chests

To open the eye chests, you put the disillusionment spell on the quick slot. To open the chest, you go out of sight and make yourself invisible with Disillusionment. Then you run to the chest and open it like any other chest. You then get 500 gold pieces. If you visit Hogsmeade or other places, you can also use Revelio to display chests in your immediate vicinity. So be sure to get the coal from the eye chests so that you can also get expensive items.

The symbol under the eye gives you the clue to the correct spell.
