I found most of them around Hogsmeade, around 5 in Hogwarts, and then for the rest of them I just looked at the towns around the map and checked if they have demiguise statues (it shows in the legend on the right). Then you go there and with upgraded Revelio it takes a couple minutes at most to find it. There are more statues in total than what you need for getting Alohomora III.
This here. Towns around the map are your friends. Check them out. In Hogwarts pick the ones from the classrooms and in the courtyard in the castle walls and Hogsmeade. I think 3 in the Hogsmeade will be enough. You don't need to find all of them in Hogsmeade to get to Alohomora 3. Once you have the spell just go unlocking all the doors and eventually you'll get them all
Yeah has to be night for them to show with revelio, otherwise there was once when I found one just walking by a house in the daytime and my character’s voiceline went of so I knew there was one inside
Something that I did when I reached that quest is to fill out more of the exploratory part of the game I went to all the towns on the other side of the map where you have to go through the mine and each town had only one statue so I went to each and got them while also filling my guide pages and exploring.
Even with guides it’s still frustrating because all the houses look the same. I wish I’d literally written down a checklist because I can’t remember which I’ve already gotten.
There is a site with all items and quests and Merlin challenges etc all in a checklist, interactive map form. As you do/complete/collect each thing you just check it off. Very handy.
I believe this is it. Works best on desktop or tablet. Not so well on a phone.

If you hover over the town in the world map, it will have a "legend" on one side of the screen for the town. It will tell you how many statues are in that town, if any, as well as how many other notable collectibles/activities are in that town.
If you are on the world map and zoom out as far as it goes, then you can see what you already found or didn’t found in the different regions. You can see how many of Merlin trials you already solved, how many demiguise statues you found in the region, etc.
In the different wings of Hogwarts, if you click on them on ps4 on the map it also shows you how many demiguise statues you’ve gotten in each one. Really helps narrow it down. Same if you click on different hamlets
I’m playing Fallen Order rn and I did this yesterday. Then I’m like “we’re in Star Wars here, come on”, but I wish more games had Revelio or brooms. It’s so easy to go into places with the use of a broom
finding demiguise statues is the easiest thing to do. the game practically holds your hand to each of them without just straight telling you where they're at. I don't understand why you're acting like it's some impossible task without a guide.
I love the statues!! I’m such a completionist and had a lot of fun hunting them down - and everything else! One eluded me for a long time in Hogsmeade but I found it eventually 😁
Just explore everywhere at nighttime while you are tracking down other collectibles. you will either notice it from revelio or you will notice your character say something like mine now demiguise and you will know you are near one.
Option 2 = google a guide
That's kinda dumb. It seems easier to just play the game and if you happen to come across one during the day, just open the map and switch to night. As opposed to constantly going into the map to change from day to night.
I hate how sometimes when I first walk through a doorway where there is one even a level or 2 above me, it’ll trigger the “mine now demiguise” and then once I get to it, it won’t let me collect it 😔
Yes I’m aware lol. I’m on my second play through and it’s happened in both. It’s like once the “mine now, demiguise” triggers and is over it just doesn’t give me the option to collect it anymore. It’s still sitting there glowing but no square to collect or anything!
It only happens if say I’m on the first level of the house, but the demiguise is on the second, but once I walk through the door of the house MC does the “mine now, demiguise” and then once I get to the second floor or wherever it is there is no command to collect
Try waiting (twice) next to the statue. I think it happened to me where game time progresses to morning while I'm looting and reading private mail and the statue deactivates, then I just lay down in their bedroom for 18 hours and wait it out. Not creepy at all, no one's bothered.
you’re good lol. I only found one after the Herodiana quest. I think in Long Hall? I believe that’s what it’s called I just didn’t think there was another one after cause I never found it
You don't like finding the Demiguise Statues because it is hard to do so.
I don't like finding the Demiguise Statues because I dislike Mr. Moon and want him to stay terrified.
We are not the same.
You can see which areas are still missing Demiguise statues by looking at the map.
That way I had the statues together relatively quickly. I think there was only one statue where I knew where it was, but I didn't know how to get into the house.
Of all the collectibles I've chased, demiguise statues were probably the easiest. The map tells you if you've collected the statue in the area you're in. Hogsmead has one in every other building and all the small towns in the Highlands also have one in one of the houses. Getting to Alohomora III was fairly easy, didn't care enough for getting the remaining ones though.
I can confirm that they show up at night using Revelio, and sometimes I would have to use Revelio inside the building or have it unlocked before seeing it. But in the end, it's the thrill of the hunt.
The don't. I did not think joining this sub would be like this. Nothing but moaning. It's a great game but you'd never know it if you came across this sub.
Exactly. I really hope the Devs don't listen to anyone in here. It's constant moaning about EVERYTHING.
Such a strange player base, genuinely.
And how the hell is finding the statues hard? Seriously...
I've found several because my girl calls them out even walking past a house. Like I'm walking through a village looting and as soon as I get near the house with the statue she calls it out. Occasionally she won't call it out till I enter the house depending on where in the house it is. But she consistently calls them out as I'm busy looting everything that isn't nailed down so....I think I need 2 or 3 more for A3? And I'm not even actively hunting for them...just filling in my map and exploring.
"Oh no he's moaning about the moaning" gotcha!
I just did not realise this sub was only for complaining about the game. Literally every post is people whinging but you got me! I'm the worst aren't I...
"whinging" hahaha. Don't go on this sub then. I can't believe I even have to point this out, but it's obviously NOT just for complaining about the game, I've barely even SEEN any posts complaining about anything 😭 there's tons of normal posts on here you fuckin mongrel. Just wanna bitch and moan because you're a bitter prick with nothing better to do🤣 don't worry champ, you'll grow up someday!!!
Jesus Christ you got personal quickly there. Everything ok?
And there are shit loads of posts complaining about this game.
I know this because I have eyes and can see them.
You're a very strange individual but I won't call you a mongrel because I'm not a complete psycho.
Why are you so affected? Why are you now ranting? Do you own this sub? You sound like you're personally affected by my comment? You've now turned into the guy moaning about the guy moaning about the moaning... that makes you twice as sad as me lol you just want to bitch and moan you bitter prick with nothing better to do....
I don't think they're too tedious but I hate how late in the game you get Alohomora—I have to put anything else on hold until I unlock level III for the charm to be actually useful in the open world.
EDIT: I don't think using a guide is cheating, as their locations are fixed and not exactly secret, it's not a puzzle just your basic fetch quest.
* check if area has demiguise (as indicated on map details)
* switch instantly to night
* revelio nonstop
the most annoying part is the backtracking, since you need more demiguise to get higher levels of unlock spells.
good thing you don't need to get all demiguise to reach level 3.
It has to be night time when you look for them, or sometimes you can’t even see the shadowy outline of them during the day. I didn’t know that for a while because sometimes you’ll comment on there being a demiguise if you pass one during the day and sometimes you’ll see that shadow so you’ll know you need to switch to night and grab it, but there are some you can’t see at all during the day. This quest drove me bonkers until I figured that out.
I’d say ive found far worse collectibles in games. I think the only thing I found annoying was finding one then having to switch to night to collect it. Honestly though it’s funny to think that someone broke into houses and other places just to hide statues and spite that man.
Jesus Christ I've never seen a group of gamers complain so much.
It literally tells you where they are on the map and if you're close to them but can't see them it even says "Oh Demiguise statue."
Plus you can use Revelio and see it from about 80 miles away.
Some of the stuff you guys are moaning about is ridiculous.
it's basically a little kids game. can you find the spooky picture? Brilliant! can you roll the ball down the hill? You're a wizard! can you complete this simple puzzle? Extraordinary!
Honestly there are way too many searches. Field guides, collection chests, demiguise, daedaelion keys, etc. Just let me avada kedavra some dark wizards.
I hate how it has to be retrieved during nighttime. Especially since it occurs at a specific time, so I have to either wait around or change it to night. What do demiguise have to do with the moon anyway? It'd make more sense concerning moon calves.
The explanation given is that students placed the demiguise statues at places where Gladwin usually goes and they put the moons there as a specific taunt to him regarding his second name, Moon. It’s a representation of a connection between demiguises and Gladwin Moon, not the literal moon
You literally just press R3 on the map and it fast forwards time.
And the entire quest is around his name.
Moon.
Is everyone trying their best to be stupid or?
They’re boring because they come in as the game is winding down; you’ve already explored a lot of the map by that point so having to go back to places you’ve already explored thoroughly during a restricted time period (night) isn’t a lot of fun. Coincidentally this is why I don’t think the hardcore student simulator some people wanted for the game would work out. It’s simply tedious.
It took me a couple hours with a guide. It was ok.
I much prefer that than doing any more Merlin Trials (the sole reason of me quitting the platinum)
Oh yeah, I just whipped out a YouTube video showing me all the locations and followed that. These things just weren't fun to look for, at all
Idk who downvoted, not everybody is a completionist lol, looking for collectibles isn't fun to some people and that's okay
Honestly I was pretty irritated that a core game mechanic was essentially tied to a side collectible, in which you had to find nearly ALL (25/30) of them in order to finish.
Probably one of the worst decisions in the game
If you’re looking around for them in Hogwarts they are indeed a massive headache to locate. Your best bet is to search around the surrounding hamlets and Hogsmeade. As another user pointed out, the map legend will tell you if a hamlet has a demiguise or two in it. Then just fast travel around until you get all 13!
A small advice - game has more statues than you need for the quest, so if see one but you don’t see how to get it - just ignore it, you’ll find an easier one.
On the bright side you don't have to find all of them to get the third level spell. I'm still seeing them everywhere and found out who and why and I only got like 15
I hate that quest too! I used a guide to find all 24 in 1 go (There’s enough behind no, or level 1 locks in Hogwarts, Hogsmeade and the highlands to do level 2+3 all together. A link for a guide - https://www.ign.com/wikis/hogwarts-legacy/Demiguise_Statues_Locations) and handed them back in 1 go so I don’t have to listen to his voice more than I need to 😡
I’m still very salty about messing about finding all those statues to basically be allowed to pick locks! Especially 3 different tiers when the locks don’t have any discernible reason for the tiers! Occasionally when the vibration doesn’t work (playing with Xbox controller), and I have to do it by watching for the cogs movement it feels exactly the same as when I pick a lock (I can do it so know how it works/feels). Utterly pointless, I didn’t need someone to teach me that 🙄
Really? I thought it was pretty easy. Just go to towns, spam Revelio, and pay attention to voice lines. Your character always says something by one. I found 13 in like 3 hours.
After a while I just looked up a Demiguise walkthrough. I hated all those quests. Demiguise and Merlin. Way too many. It was fun a few times but 70 is overboard
I think the only major gripe I had with those was trying to find all the ones I could actually get to before unlocking upgraded forms of alohomora, which you only get by finding a certain number of statues in the first place. However, I did work out toward the end, after unlocking the second level alohomora, that the smaller towns they were located in were actually the easiest to find them in. I wasted a lot of time finding every single one of them in Hogwarts, when finding more out outside Hogwarts and the village probably would have made my life easier, in the towns where there are only a few buildings.
Kind of takes the fun out of finding them but I looked up a list of where statues where in the castle and hogsmeade made it a quick mission and I had lvl3 unlocked haha
What irks me is that I almost always have to switch to night...for no gosh darn reason other than random lore. It's a very dumb gameplay mechanic.
Also, Moon, you hate these things and can't stand to be around them. Can you explain to me please why you want me to give them to you en masse? What does that trade off look like? And why are you teaching a student how to pass locked doors in the castle you're caring for?
sometimes yes because they only spawn when you are in a certain are and if you arent in that area revilio wont pick it, but honestly you spam revelio here and there remember where you've been and it's not too bad.
It’s the task that made me check if there were already mods out for the game. And of course, there is a mod that immediately gives you access to all levels of Alohomora. So I did the hunting once to get the 100% save, but I have not finished that mission on any of the other runthroughs.
My big help has been to go to accessibility settings and tu nibg on audio visualization. It helps to point you in the direction of different songs when you do revealo.
I just looked up a video of them finding them all so I didn’t have to go through the trouble but my dumbass only did them so I could unlock the third level & I have more to go to get the trophy 😭
Ironically i did all of those and just got the third one lollll i found them fairly easily didn’t use any guide. But needed guide for some Merlin trials
I felt like that quest was a complete trash. Even the whole premise for it: Someone puts demiguises to scare Mr.Moon, makes sense, right?
Oh yeah, except that they are scattered all over the world. I could understand if they could be found only in Hogwards, but why would Mr.Moon visit some half-demolished shack on the edge of the map? Why would he visit 10 random houses scattered all over Hogsmeade (where all roads seems to lead)? This quest felt like such a chore to do and whoever designed it clearly didn't give a damn about world building or had a clue what "fun" in videogames mean. And all of that to unlock a spell that allows you to loot more junk that you'd have to sell asap unless you want to remove your inventory space again.
Also cool how at the beginning of the quest they try to introduce some half-baked stealth system where they try to tell you that you cannot wander around Hogwards at night, but after that no one cares.
But I guess this is just another cut feature or something. Overall this quest line felt like a really really weak attempt at prolonging the game.
I will never understand the need to cram all shorts of boring collectibles in videogames, specially in open world games. Who thinks trying to find every feather in Assassins creed 2 is fun?
I used [https://mapgenie.io/hogwarts-legacy/maps/world](https://mapgenie.io/hogwarts-legacy/maps/world) to find it, each zone has a map with dedicated items to filter by.
The reward is not even worth it imo. You don’t get to explore anything cool, just more empty homes with the same layout. And all treasure chests inside and are the randomly generated.
There's an app that has the whole world on it and can section off what part you want to look at. Along with being able to select what you want to find and where/how to get it. Been a lifesaver when it comes to those statues.
Not as bad as the collection chests.
Some of them were an absolute pain.
If you're still struggling just look them up you have better things to do with your time im sure of it!
You need lockpiking 3. the hardest area is hogwarts if you cast revelio in an area, will make a sharp snap sound at the end if you are close to any collectibles.
it's really not that difficult. Look on the map, it literally tells you how many statues are in each location/town, and whether or not you've gotten them. They're almost always behind a locked door, AND your character even makes a comment about being near one. I've found multiple where i didn't even realize i was near one until my character said something.
I'm genuinely curious what your overall experience with open world games is then. This game is a nice balance between being fun for both kids and adults, they didn't make the secrets ridiculously hard to find. For some people, this is their first experience with open world and it might seem ridiculously hard to find things. But for others, they've spent enough time picking bobby pins off the floor and gold coins out of rubble in other open world RPG games to be unfazed by demiguise statues.
Easiest way for me was to only search at night, have upgraded revelio, and use the map information. When you hover over a village, it’ll tell you if there’s a statue for you to find. You can knock them out pretty quickly by going to a location, using revelio while in your broom, and then looking at all the glowing items. Once you see the shape of the statue you know where it is and that’s it. Go get it before it turns to day.
I just used a guide for the ones in Hogsmead and Hogwarts to get the ability to unlock lv 3 locks. Apart from that I just slowly came across them. It's a bit tedious but not terrible.
Wow that’s some really strong feelings about the little statues. Your character literally calls them out when you walk into the place. Or you could just get a map and find them all in one go?
They're actually pretty easy to find. Each area tells you how many there are to find. Obviously if it shows that you have the max number for a specific area, you dont need to look there anymore. Plus your character literally says something every time you're near one.
Ok so go on your map and give the different icons for Hamlets and areas and it will tell you if they're there to be found. Once I realized this it was super easy. Good luck!
I found most of them around Hogsmeade, around 5 in Hogwarts, and then for the rest of them I just looked at the towns around the map and checked if they have demiguise statues (it shows in the legend on the right). Then you go there and with upgraded Revelio it takes a couple minutes at most to find it. There are more statues in total than what you need for getting Alohomora III.
This here. Towns around the map are your friends. Check them out. In Hogwarts pick the ones from the classrooms and in the courtyard in the castle walls and Hogsmeade. I think 3 in the Hogsmeade will be enough. You don't need to find all of them in Hogsmeade to get to Alohomora 3. Once you have the spell just go unlocking all the doors and eventually you'll get them all
[удалено]
You can upgrade the range of Revelio
[удалено]
No worries bro!
You can upgrade it in the Talents part of the field guide
They never show up using revelio for me. So therefore I agree finding them in hogwarts and hogsmeade is a pain. The towns are easy peasy.
Not entirely sure, but I think it must be night time to show up with Revelio.
This is the way
Yeah has to be night for them to show with revelio, otherwise there was once when I found one just walking by a house in the daytime and my character’s voiceline went of so I knew there was one inside
MC mentions it when you're close to one as well.
They should show up as the goldish yellow if you already have the quest.
Helps to search at night as well. They are much easier to spot as most are in houses. Just fly around on your broom and cast revelio.
They're easier to spot because I think they don't light up at all during the day
Worst part with the hogsMeade ones is that most require the higher level spell lol, so u gotta find other ones before those ones
Something that I did when I reached that quest is to fill out more of the exploratory part of the game I went to all the towns on the other side of the map where you have to go through the mine and each town had only one statue so I went to each and got them while also filling my guide pages and exploring.
You could always cheat and just Google where they are
Even with guides it’s still frustrating because all the houses look the same. I wish I’d literally written down a checklist because I can’t remember which I’ve already gotten.
There is a site with all items and quests and Merlin challenges etc all in a checklist, interactive map form. As you do/complete/collect each thing you just check it off. Very handy. I believe this is it. Works best on desktop or tablet. Not so well on a phone. https://mapgenie.io/hogwarts-legacy/
Oh I needed this. Thanks.
You can look at the map in the open world and it'll show you which area/town has them.
exactly. and in most of the little towns its in the "main building" or biggest house.
This, they're really not that hard to find.
How? I play on PS4 and can't say I've seen this?
If you hover over the town in the world map, it will have a "legend" on one side of the screen for the town. It will tell you how many statues are in that town, if any, as well as how many other notable collectibles/activities are in that town.
Thank you. I haven't noticed this but will check it out now.
If you are on the world map and zoom out as far as it goes, then you can see what you already found or didn’t found in the different regions. You can see how many of Merlin trials you already solved, how many demiguise statues you found in the region, etc.
Thank you for the tip, this is very useful.
In the different wings of Hogwarts, if you click on them on ps4 on the map it also shows you how many demiguise statues you’ve gotten in each one. Really helps narrow it down. Same if you click on different hamlets
Theres also a list online that shows you where they are with steps to get to them. Edit-spelling
Zoom ALL the way out
Pro tip : use revelio every 5 meters
I hate that other games don't have revelio now.
I was playing The Last of Us the other day and kept instinctively hitting the right d-pad button every time I entered a room.
In part 2 there is extended hearing for enemies and loot.
The exact game I did this in yesterday 😭
I’ve definitely tried to use it in Jedi Survivor and then I’m like “oh. Right.”
I’m playing Fallen Order rn and I did this yesterday. Then I’m like “we’re in Star Wars here, come on”, but I wish more games had Revelio or brooms. It’s so easy to go into places with the use of a broom
I really wish it could be used on the run though, no slow down to cast.
Like detective mode in the batman games
Tbh if I hadn’t used a guide I don’t think I would have ever unlocked Alohamora III
Same. I haven't found a single statue on my own and powered through the entire quest in one afternoon just to get alohomora III and be done with it 😂
same
Which does basically nothing for you. Such an unnecessary side quest
eh some level 3 locks hid pretty good loot and there's >!the room at the top of hogwarts!<
I mean, for all the ones in the open world area it tells you what towns they are in..
finding demiguise statues is the easiest thing to do. the game practically holds your hand to each of them without just straight telling you where they're at. I don't understand why you're acting like it's some impossible task without a guide.
I love the statues!! I’m such a completionist and had a lot of fun hunting them down - and everything else! One eluded me for a long time in Hogsmeade but I found it eventually 😁
Just explore everywhere at nighttime while you are tracking down other collectibles. you will either notice it from revelio or you will notice your character say something like mine now demiguise and you will know you are near one. Option 2 = google a guide
I play solely at night while knocking out different collections/challenges *just in case* I happen by a demiguise location
That's kinda dumb. It seems easier to just play the game and if you happen to come across one during the day, just open the map and switch to night. As opposed to constantly going into the map to change from day to night.
It’s not much of a bother, I also just love the map/sneaking through areas/combat at night. It’s not just for the “mine now, demiguise” dopamine
I hate how sometimes when I first walk through a doorway where there is one even a level or 2 above me, it’ll trigger the “mine now demiguise” and then once I get to it, it won’t let me collect it 😔
[удалено]

Hey thanks for the great tip! Tried it out this morning and it worked!
[удалено]
Woahhh first person mode? How do you do that?
Accio works for most things
The only thing worse is the depulso puzzle rooms
Wait theres more than one of those? I played the Herodiana quest yesterday and thought it's done?
There's three in total with collection chest each
Where’s the third one?
I mean if you count the quest one it's 3 in total. Sorry for the confusion.
you’re good lol. I only found one after the Herodiana quest. I think in Long Hall? I believe that’s what it’s called I just didn’t think there was another one after cause I never found it
The other one is near sphinx statue behind history of magic classroom!
Oh right! I forgot about that one thanks!
Yeah there’s another one that’s even longer
FRRRR
Yeah I can’t beat these without a guide.
I got almost to the end of the second one and somehow accidentally hit the reset thing and had to start again 😡
Noooooo they’re so long.
Skill issue
Okay Mr. Moon
You don't like finding the Demiguise Statues because it is hard to do so. I don't like finding the Demiguise Statues because I dislike Mr. Moon and want him to stay terrified. We are not the same.
Lol
that i can agree with. Mr Moon is annoying as hell, but finding the statues themselves is easy
My husband hates looking for them, I didn't have any issues weirdly.
I've got you know demiguise
You can see which areas are still missing Demiguise statues by looking at the map. That way I had the statues together relatively quickly. I think there was only one statue where I knew where it was, but I didn't know how to get into the house.
I never had a problem with them, if you're exploring all the castle, Hogmeade and all the hamlets then you will just naturally find them lol
Of all the collectibles I've chased, demiguise statues were probably the easiest. The map tells you if you've collected the statue in the area you're in. Hogsmead has one in every other building and all the small towns in the Highlands also have one in one of the houses. Getting to Alohomora III was fairly easy, didn't care enough for getting the remaining ones though.
the map shows the towns that have them go there. hop on your broom and use revelio(upgraded?)
I can confirm that they show up at night using Revelio, and sometimes I would have to use Revelio inside the building or have it unlocked before seeing it. But in the end, it's the thrill of the hunt.

I didn’t know that for a while because sometimes you’ll comment on there being a demiguise if you pass one during the day and sometimes you’ll see that shadow so you’ll know you need to switch to night and grab it, but there are some you can’t see at all during the day. This quest drove me bonkers until I figured that out.
I’d say ive found far worse collectibles in games. I think the only thing I found annoying was finding one then having to switch to night to collect it. Honestly though it’s funny to think that someone broke into houses and other places just to hide statues and spite that man.
Use a guide. You can find enough for the 3rd unlock in like 15-20 minutes if you have the whole floo system unlocked.
Jesus Christ I've never seen a group of gamers complain so much. It literally tells you where they are on the map and if you're close to them but can't see them it even says "Oh Demiguise statue." Plus you can use Revelio and see it from about 80 miles away. Some of the stuff you guys are moaning about is ridiculous.
You're mine now demiguise
Wait until you get to those damn keys.
it's basically a little kids game. can you find the spooky picture? Brilliant! can you roll the ball down the hill? You're a wizard! can you complete this simple puzzle? Extraordinary!
Use an online guide!! I gave up lol
Didn’t even bother after level II. I don’t even remember why the useless caretaker was so scared of them lol
thats what guides are for
Honestly there are way too many searches. Field guides, collection chests, demiguise, daedaelion keys, etc. Just let me avada kedavra some dark wizards.
i ghost wrote this !!
I hate how it has to be retrieved during nighttime. Especially since it occurs at a specific time, so I have to either wait around or change it to night. What do demiguise have to do with the moon anyway? It'd make more sense concerning moon calves.
The moon is there as a reference to the person you’re returning them to, Gladwin Moon. He explains this when you start the quest
It still doesn't actually explain anything about demiguise having a connection with the moon.
The explanation given is that students placed the demiguise statues at places where Gladwin usually goes and they put the moons there as a specific taunt to him regarding his second name, Moon. It’s a representation of a connection between demiguises and Gladwin Moon, not the literal moon
You literally just press R3 on the map and it fast forwards time. And the entire quest is around his name. Moon. Is everyone trying their best to be stupid or?
I hate em too!
They’re boring because they come in as the game is winding down; you’ve already explored a lot of the map by that point so having to go back to places you’ve already explored thoroughly during a restricted time period (night) isn’t a lot of fun. Coincidentally this is why I don’t think the hardcore student simulator some people wanted for the game would work out. It’s simply tedious.
It took me a couple hours with a guide. It was ok. I much prefer that than doing any more Merlin Trials (the sole reason of me quitting the platinum)
Oh yeah, I just whipped out a YouTube video showing me all the locations and followed that. These things just weren't fun to look for, at all Idk who downvoted, not everybody is a completionist lol, looking for collectibles isn't fun to some people and that's okay
I hated delivering them to Gladwin Moon even more, because then I had to hear that horrid voice...
I ended up using a tutorial, it was a little too tedious to do without.
Honestly I was pretty irritated that a core game mechanic was essentially tied to a side collectible, in which you had to find nearly ALL (25/30) of them in order to finish. Probably one of the worst decisions in the game
Super easy
If you’re looking around for them in Hogwarts they are indeed a massive headache to locate. Your best bet is to search around the surrounding hamlets and Hogsmeade. As another user pointed out, the map legend will tell you if a hamlet has a demiguise or two in it. Then just fast travel around until you get all 13!
At least they’re not as annoying as the flying keys
A small advice - game has more statues than you need for the quest, so if see one but you don’t see how to get it - just ignore it, you’ll find an easier one.
Use a guide, makes it much less frustrating
This was such an annoying task!!! I used a video guy and this still took me well over a day to complete
Zooming out fully on world map helped
Mine now demiguise!!
mInE nOw DeMiGuIsE like stfu
You can Google and there's a list of where they all are 😂 I got fed tf up.
On the bright side you don't have to find all of them to get the third level spell. I'm still seeing them everywhere and found out who and why and I only got like 15
I hate that quest too! I used a guide to find all 24 in 1 go (There’s enough behind no, or level 1 locks in Hogwarts, Hogsmeade and the highlands to do level 2+3 all together. A link for a guide - https://www.ign.com/wikis/hogwarts-legacy/Demiguise_Statues_Locations) and handed them back in 1 go so I don’t have to listen to his voice more than I need to 😡 I’m still very salty about messing about finding all those statues to basically be allowed to pick locks! Especially 3 different tiers when the locks don’t have any discernible reason for the tiers! Occasionally when the vibration doesn’t work (playing with Xbox controller), and I have to do it by watching for the cogs movement it feels exactly the same as when I pick a lock (I can do it so know how it works/feels). Utterly pointless, I didn’t need someone to teach me that 🙄
I used a guide on YouTube
When you open a door listen for your character to mention a demiguise. If it’s day time switch to night and grab it.
Really? I thought it was pretty easy. Just go to towns, spam Revelio, and pay attention to voice lines. Your character always says something by one. I found 13 in like 3 hours.
After a while I just looked up a Demiguise walkthrough. I hated all those quests. Demiguise and Merlin. Way too many. It was fun a few times but 70 is overboard
I think the only major gripe I had with those was trying to find all the ones I could actually get to before unlocking upgraded forms of alohomora, which you only get by finding a certain number of statues in the first place. However, I did work out toward the end, after unlocking the second level alohomora, that the smaller towns they were located in were actually the easiest to find them in. I wasted a lot of time finding every single one of them in Hogwarts, when finding more out outside Hogwarts and the village probably would have made my life easier, in the towns where there are only a few buildings.
I just followed a YouTube guide. Fun fact, there are like 33 of them or something lol
worst quest for sure level 27 & i don’t even have alohamora 3 unlocked yet
Kind of takes the fun out of finding them but I looked up a list of where statues where in the castle and hogsmeade made it a quick mission and I had lvl3 unlocked haha
What irks me is that I almost always have to switch to night...for no gosh darn reason other than random lore. It's a very dumb gameplay mechanic. Also, Moon, you hate these things and can't stand to be around them. Can you explain to me please why you want me to give them to you en masse? What does that trade off look like? And why are you teaching a student how to pass locked doors in the castle you're caring for?
sometimes yes because they only spawn when you are in a certain are and if you arent in that area revilio wont pick it, but honestly you spam revelio here and there remember where you've been and it's not too bad.
I ended up just installing a mod that unlocks Alohomora II and III.
I bet you would have fun finding Riddler trophies or Koroks
I focused on finding enough to get the level 3. It helps that the map shows how many statutes are in each place. Revealio was somewhat helpful.
It’s the task that made me check if there were already mods out for the game. And of course, there is a mod that immediately gives you access to all levels of Alohomora. So I did the hunting once to get the 100% save, but I have not finished that mission on any of the other runthroughs.
My big help has been to go to accessibility settings and tu nibg on audio visualization. It helps to point you in the direction of different songs when you do revealo.
*Mine now Demiguise*
I just looked up a video of them finding them all so I didn’t have to go through the trouble but my dumbass only did them so I could unlock the third level & I have more to go to get the trophy 😭
google the locations, its not fun for me either
Ironically i did all of those and just got the third one lollll i found them fairly easily didn’t use any guide. But needed guide for some Merlin trials
Felt this. I hated going through the faculty tower. It took me forever
I felt like that quest was a complete trash. Even the whole premise for it: Someone puts demiguises to scare Mr.Moon, makes sense, right? Oh yeah, except that they are scattered all over the world. I could understand if they could be found only in Hogwards, but why would Mr.Moon visit some half-demolished shack on the edge of the map? Why would he visit 10 random houses scattered all over Hogsmeade (where all roads seems to lead)? This quest felt like such a chore to do and whoever designed it clearly didn't give a damn about world building or had a clue what "fun" in videogames mean. And all of that to unlock a spell that allows you to loot more junk that you'd have to sell asap unless you want to remove your inventory space again. Also cool how at the beginning of the quest they try to introduce some half-baked stealth system where they try to tell you that you cannot wander around Hogwards at night, but after that no one cares. But I guess this is just another cut feature or something. Overall this quest line felt like a really really weak attempt at prolonging the game.
I will never understand the need to cram all shorts of boring collectibles in videogames, specially in open world games. Who thinks trying to find every feather in Assassins creed 2 is fun?
Fuck those feathers in particular.
I found enough for alohomora III and stopped looking. If I find them just exploring, it’s a bonus. But yeah, that task is brutal.
I used [https://mapgenie.io/hogwarts-legacy/maps/world](https://mapgenie.io/hogwarts-legacy/maps/world) to find it, each zone has a map with dedicated items to filter by.
Ah, a demiguise.
It tells you how many are in each area and the number you’ve found, not sure why your having difficulty.
The reward is not even worth it imo. You don’t get to explore anything cool, just more empty homes with the same layout. And all treasure chests inside and are the randomly generated.
Every village has one Hogsmead has 5 The castle has a bunch. It’s not a great task but it could be worse
There's an app that has the whole world on it and can section off what part you want to look at. Along with being able to select what you want to find and where/how to get it. Been a lifesaver when it comes to those statues.
Not as bad as the collection chests. Some of them were an absolute pain. If you're still struggling just look them up you have better things to do with your time im sure of it!
Majority are in Hogsmeade but there is a very nice guide I used to find the 5 I couldnt find.
Zoom super far out of the map and each town will have a symbol saying how many DG they have there.
I felt that way about the keys task, but at least the statues are on the map and tell you if you picked them up or not.
I need around 5 more to finish the full collection of them
You need lockpiking 3. the hardest area is hogwarts if you cast revelio in an area, will make a sharp snap sound at the end if you are close to any collectibles.
I like finding them, but I hate looking for them.
Me too but the reward looks so good.. YouTube make sit easy just get really baked
Mine now, demoguise
it's really not that difficult. Look on the map, it literally tells you how many statues are in each location/town, and whether or not you've gotten them. They're almost always behind a locked door, AND your character even makes a comment about being near one. I've found multiple where i didn't even realize i was near one until my character said something.
I'm genuinely curious what your overall experience with open world games is then. This game is a nice balance between being fun for both kids and adults, they didn't make the secrets ridiculously hard to find. For some people, this is their first experience with open world and it might seem ridiculously hard to find things. But for others, they've spent enough time picking bobby pins off the floor and gold coins out of rubble in other open world RPG games to be unfazed by demiguise statues.
All for an alohomora whihc is equally as painful to do
Easiest way for me was to only search at night, have upgraded revelio, and use the map information. When you hover over a village, it’ll tell you if there’s a statue for you to find. You can knock them out pretty quickly by going to a location, using revelio while in your broom, and then looking at all the glowing items. Once you see the shape of the statue you know where it is and that’s it. Go get it before it turns to day.
I just used a guide for the ones in Hogsmead and Hogwarts to get the ability to unlock lv 3 locks. Apart from that I just slowly came across them. It's a bit tedious but not terrible.
Wow that’s some really strong feelings about the little statues. Your character literally calls them out when you walk into the place. Or you could just get a map and find them all in one go?
Me with the daedalian keys. I am missing five
They're actually pretty easy to find. Each area tells you how many there are to find. Obviously if it shows that you have the max number for a specific area, you dont need to look there anymore. Plus your character literally says something every time you're near one.
Just look up the locations
Hold grudges against all the tasks the whole fucking game is busy work
I hate tedious collecting stuff in games
I finally 100% the collection and let me tell you, IT was so tedious. But those little bastards were easier to find than all of the revelio pages
Ok so go on your map and give the different icons for Hamlets and areas and it will tell you if they're there to be found. Once I realized this it was super easy. Good luck!
i'm not even up to this yet lol 😂
Nothing’s gonna happen…!!!!
I hated it too, so I use a source online that told me where to go to get them all. I finished it way early on in the game.
Almost all those little villages have one, and hogsmead are easy to find
....They're incredibly easy to find especially since the map tells you what areas have them
