What Are Daedalian Keys?
As we mentioned earlier, the Daedalian Keys are collectibles in Hogwarts Legacy. They lead you to secret cabinets which you can open up using the key to acquire a House Token. In total there are Sixteen Daedalian Keys in the game. They can be a bit tricky to find since they’re quite small. A good strategy is to keep your ears perked up and try hearing any sounds that resemble tiny wings fluttering (like the Golden Snitch).
If you’re still unable to find the Daedalian Key after reaching the locations as per our instructions, then you can also use the Revelio Spell. The spell will highlight the key if it is within your vicinity.
Whenever you hear this sound, follow it to reveal the Daedalian Key. All you need to do then is to chase it down until it reaches the secret lock it is assigned to. After interacting with the Secret lock, players will need to solve a puzzle, like the Arithmancy one, in order to open it up. The Daedalian Key will circle around the lock and occasionally fly across the keyhole. Your task will be to slap the key at the perfect time when it is right above the keyhole. You can slap the key by pressing X/A on your controller.
Successfully inserting the Key will unlock the secret cabinet which will reveal the House Token. These House Tokens are collectibles that are later used to unlock the House Chest in your character’s common room. Nevertheless, for now, let us focus on where to find all the 16 Daedalian Keys in Hogwarts.
All 16 Daedalian Key Locations In Hogwarts Legacy
The good thing about the Daedalian Key collectibles is that they are all situated within the school of Hogwarts. Hence, you won’t have to visit any other locations to acquire them.
Nevertheless, It is important to note that from the list below the finalthreeDaedaliankeys (Faculty Tower 1 & 2, Clock Tower) can only be reached after you unlock the Alohomora Spell.
These collectibles are introduced in “The Daedalian Keys” side quest. You’ll get this side quest unlocked after you’ve played through the game for a little while. In the mission, you’ll need to head to the Transfiguration Courtyard and talk to Nellie Oggspire.
With that said, let us list down all the locations for the 16 Daedalian Keys in Hogwarts Legacy that will help you get House Tokens.
Astronomy Tower

North Hall Courtyard

Here you will, yet again, need to climb up all the stairs by following the Daedalian Key. You will eventually reach the secret cabinet at the top of the tower.
Defence Against The Dark Arts Tower

Here you’ll encounter the Daedalian Key which will then lead you to the upper floor (towards the direction where the skeleton is facing). On the upper floor just go straight until you’ll see the secret cabinet on the right side.
Potions Classroom

Central Hall (First Key)

After the Daedalian Key takes flight, follow it as it passes by the Unicorn statue to the other side of the hall. Here you’ll find another House Token cabinet that can be unlocked with the Daedalian Key.
Central Hall (Second Key)

The Daedalian key will then lead you back down one floor, where you’ll find the cabinet next to a few paintings.
Library

Entrance Hall

Quad Courtyard

Great Hall

Grand Staircase

However, you do not need to stop as the Key will take you even further down the Grand Staircase. After a bit of running, you will eventually exit the Grand Staircase and reach another secret cabinet, close to the Lower Grand Staircase Floo Flames point.
The Map Chamber (Dungeons)

If you fast travel to the Dungeons then take the stairs upwards and go through the Level 2 locked door. However, if you do not have access to the Map Chamber fast travel point yet, then you can also head down to the Dungeons where the Dragon statue is. Once there head towards the locked door and go through the alleyway. Here you’ll find the first Daedalian key in the Dungeons.
The Daedalian key will take you back toward the locked door, although it will turn left rather than going up the stairs. Here you will finally find the secret cabinet to get another House Token.
The Map Chamber (Near Dragon Statue)

Faculty Tower (First Key)

Once you have Alohomora, use the Floo Flames fast-travel to get to the Faculty Tower. From the Floo Flames point, head south until you go through an arched doorway, and then turn right to find the locked door. This locked door can be opened up by the Alohomora Spell. After going through the locked door, run straight ahead toward the staircase and reach the second floor.
You will find the Daedalian Key on the second floor which will lead you back down. The Secret cabinet can be spotted right next to the staircase on the lower level (where the locked door was).
Faculty Tower (Second Key)

The Daedalian Key will take you back toward the Spiral staircase that you used to come upstairs. The secret cabinet is right beside the spiral staircase on the same floor.
Clock Tower

After going through the door, use the staircase to go up. After the staircase comes to an end, you’ll reach the Clock Tower and you’ll instantly notice the final Daedalian Key along the path. Follow the Daedalian Key by using the staircase to go even more up. Eventually, you’ll reach the next floor in the Clock Tower. On this floor, turn northwest to find the last secret cabinet which will give you the 16th House Token.
