How to dive underwater and find treasure in Hogwarts Legacy

Diving is a crucial element of gameplay in Hogwarts Legacy, as it enables players to acquire essential resources, robes, and quest items that are hidden beneath the water’s surface. Therefore, here is a detailed guide on how to dive underwater and uncover valuable treasures in Avalanche’s game.

Hogwarts Legacy offers users various transportation options to experiment with, such as flying on broomsticks or riding magnificent creatures like Thestrals or Hippogriffs.

Moreover, there are opportunities for players to swim in various bodies of water, such as the Black Lake and underground ponds. Surprisingly, certain bodies of water found in the open world even hide treasure vaults and dungeons, which can yield valuable rewards.

Nevertheless, in order to access those treasure vaults, it will be necessary to submerge underwater. Therefore, the following provides students with all the essential information on diving in Hogwarts Legacy to uncover those hidden secrets.

Exploring the Depths of Hogwarts Legacy

Students playing Hogwarts Legacy have the option to dive, but they must do so in designated areas as it is more limited than freely swimming around.

Fortunately, the water surrounding the area can be easily recognized by the presence of bubbling and swirling.

To perform a dive, simply swim towards one of the swirling spots in a body of water and press the ‘Interact’ button. Your character will then take a deep breath and briefly submerge underwater.

Players can only dive in swirling areas around bodies of water in Hogwarts Legacy.

Diving underwater can result in a variety of outcomes. In certain locations, players may discover treasure vaults that require puzzle-solving skills in order to obtain a reward. Alternatively, they may come across materials, Galleons, or quest items in other areas.

Players will encounter one of the game’s first challenges, known as ‘The Lost Astrolabe’ quest, which will require them to dive to various locations in Black Lake in search of a missing object. Additionally, the quest ‘Mer-ky Depths’ will also involve diving to uncover a treasure vault created by merpeople.

Therefore, it is highly recommended that students remain vigilant whenever they encounter water with swirling spots, as they could potentially discover valuable treasures.
