What are the Daedalus Keys in Hogwarts Legacy
The Maze Keys are small flying keys that allow you to open House Furniture scattered throughout Hogwarts.
It is necessary to find the 16 Maze Keys in order to open all the Household Furniture. These each grant a House Token, allowing you to open the huge chest located in your common room once combined.
How to start the quest “The Keys to the Maze”
In order to start looking for these famous enchanted keys, you must first progress in the main storyline, until you have returned from your little trip to Hogsmeade with Natsai or Sebastian.
A secondary quest will then invite you to meet Nellie Oggspire in the gardens of the Astronomy Tower. It is the latter which will launch the quest “The Keys of the Daedalus” .
How to open House Furniture in Hogwarts Legacy
House Furniture are large mechanisms with a lock, which you can find scattered throughout Hogwarts Castle. You guessed it, it is necessary to insert a Daedalus Key in order to open them and recover the token.
The first step is therefore to find a key… or a piece of furniture! Indeed, a key is never very far from its lock, and finding the imposing mechanisms often allows you to quickly spot the key flying in the surrounding corridors. Do not hesitate to overuse your Revelio spell to locate the Daedalus Keys and/or House Furniture.
When you approach a key, it will fly to the corresponding lock. Just follow it until you reach the piece of furniture with which you will have to interact.
You will then have to push the key into the lock during a mini-game. The latter will obviously make you wait while twirling around the frame. Wait for it to pass through the mechanism and push it in as it passes over the lock.
The House Furniture will then open to offer you a precious House Token.
