The Hogwarts Legacy platinum is a pure completionist run — a big, relaxing 100% sweep of the Wizarding World. The full trophy list runs to 46 trophies — 28 bronze, 15 silver, 2 gold and the Hogwarts Legacy Platinum — and this guide walks you through exactly how to earn every one.
Below you'll find a difficulty and time breakdown, a visual trophy chart, the smartest way to approach the run, a full step-by-step roadmap, the trickiest trophies, common mistakes to avoid, faster-platinum tips and an FAQ.

Trophy Breakdown
Here's how the 46 trophies in Hogwarts Legacy split across the four tiers:
Almost the entire list is collection and completion, capped by the 100% 'Collector's Edition' trophy. There's no combat difficulty requirement at all — just a lot to gather.
How Hard Is the Hogwarts Legacy Platinum?
There's no combat wall here; the challenge is thoroughness. You need every Field Guide page, all 95 Merlin Trials, every collectible chest, all gear appearances, every conjuration and all vivarium beasts. Miss a single Demiguise Moon or beast species and 100% stalls, so a map tracker is your best friend.
The 'difficulty' here is bookkeeping. With hundreds of collectibles spread across the map, the only way people fail is by missing a single item and not knowing which one. An interactive collectible map turns a frustrating hunt into a simple checklist, and once you're organised there is nothing in this platinum that can actually beat you.
How It Compares to Similar Platinums
On our difficulty scale the Hogwarts Legacy platinum sits at 4/10 (very achievable) and takes roughly 50–60 hours, so it helps to see where it lands next to similar games. It lands right alongside Ghost of Tsushima, so if you enjoyed one, the other is a natural next target.
| Game | Difficulty | Time | Trophies |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hogwarts Legacy (this guide) | 4/10 (very achievable) | 50–60 hrs | 46 |
| Ghost of Tsushima | 4/10 (very achievable) | 45–60 hrs | 52 |
| Marvel's Spider-Man 2 | 4/10 (very achievable) | 25–35 hrs | 42 |
| Cyberpunk 2077 | 4/10 (very achievable) | 40–60 hrs | 45 |
The Smartest Way to Approach It
Play the story first to unlock every spell, the broom and mounts, because several collectibles are gated behind specific spells like Alohomora tiers and Depulso. Then clear regions one at a time with a map open, and capture two of every beast so you can breed the ones the vivarium trophies demand.
Batch your activities to cut down on backtracking. Stock up on Mallowsweet leaves and knock out clusters of Merlin Trials in one sweep, hit every Demiguise statue once you have the right Alohomora tier, and buy any conjurations or gear appearances you can't find from the Hogsmeade shops. Because nothing is combat-gated, you can play on the lowest difficulty and just enjoy the collectathon.
Hogwarts Legacy Trophy Roadmap
Play the main story to completion first. This unlocks every spell, the broom and your mounts — several of which are required to reach collectibles — so doing it early prevents backtracking later.
Work region by region with an interactive map open, sweeping up Field Guide pages, treasure chests, Merlin Trials and Demiguise Moons before moving on. Clearing one area fully is far more efficient than bouncing around.
Capture every beast species and store two of each in your vivariums so you can breed the ones certain trophies require. Feeding and petting them also ticks off their care-related trophies.
Collect every conjuration and gear appearance. A few are only sold in Hogsmeade shops, so visit each vendor and buy anything your Field Guide still lists as missing.
Finish the four house-token side quests and any remaining challenges to push completion to 100% and pop the platinum.
Trickiest Trophies in Hogwarts Legacy
Collector's Edition — the 100%-completion grind — the heart of the platinum.
Demiguise Moons — missing one blocks a key unlock; use a collectible map.
All conjurations — a few come only from the shop and are easy to overlook.
Merlin Trials — all 95 require Mallowsweet leaves, so keep a stock as you explore.
Beast collection — some species only spawn in specific dens, so a location guide saves hours.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Chasing collectibles before unlocking the spells that reach them, then having to return to every region.
Missing a single Demiguise Moon or beast species and not knowing which — always use a tracker.
Overlooking shop-only conjurations and gear appearances that never appear in the world.
Skipping the vivarium breeding step and coming up one beast short of 100%.
Tips to Platinum Hogwarts Legacy Faster
Use an interactive map to track collectibles per region as you clear it.
Do Merlin Trials the moment you have Mallowsweet to avoid backtracking.
Catch two of each beast so you can breed for the vivarium trophies.
Buy the Tomes & Scrolls and gear you're missing from Hogsmeade to finish the appearance and conjuration trophies.
Batch your Merlin Trials once you're stocked on Mallowsweet leaves rather than one at a time.
