As we mentioned earlier, the Room of Requirement only unlocks after you play the main story for a few hours. The Room of Requirement is not missable. Here’s how to unlock it:

  1. Play through the main story quests for a few hours.
  2. After completing the Flying Class quest with Madam Kogawa, you will receive a notification to meet Professor Weasley in the Astronomy Tower.
  3. Reach the Astronomy Tower and begin the quest called “Room of Requirement” led by Professor Weasley.
  4. During this quest, your character will stumble upon the secret door of the Room of Requirement.
  5. Professor Weasley will invite you inside the Room of Requirement, unlocking it for you to access whenever you want.

Inside the Room of Requirement, you will explore and learn various spells, including Evanesco (used to make things vanish), Conjuring (used to create objects), and Altering (used to customize conjured items). You’ll also gather Moonstones, which are resources that can be used later to craft items while decorating the room.

The quest will involve exploring the room, finding the house elf Deek, and eventually establishing your own space within the Room of Requirement. After this quest, you will have access to the Room of Requirement and can use it for various activities in the game.

  • In the Room of Requirement, players learn three Transfiguration spells: Evanesco, Conjuring, and Altering.
  • These spells allow players to customize and redesign the room to their liking.

  • As the storyline progresses, players gain access to the Vivarium for caring for rescued creatures.
 

What Can You Do In The Room Of Requirement?

Now that you’ve unlocked the Room of Requirement, it’s time to understand all the different things you can do inside it. Since the room is a space for your wizard to get away from all the hustle and bustle of Hogwarts. Hence, you get full freedom to customize it as you wish. 

Players will only need the spells (Evanesco, Conjuring, and Altering) that we mentioned earlier to customize the Room of Requirement. Other than that, it’s also important to have a bunch of Moonstones at hand, since without them you won’t be able to conjure up new items inside the room. Nevertheless, here are some of the things you can conjure up, along with some cool features to look forward to in Hogwarts Legacy.

Hogwart Legacy does a good job of depicting the Room of Requirement where you can make almost anything come true (except food). Players can engage in various activities and customization options. Here’s what you can do and some of the features available within the Room of Requirement:

  1. Crafting Tables: You can craft functioning tables to carry out different tasks using Moonstones. These tables include:
    • Desk of Description: This table is available by default and allows you to learn more about unidentified gear items you acquire during your adventures.
    • Potion Station: You can conjure this table using 2x Moonstones during the “Room of Requirement” quest. It enables you to brew potions, which can be valuable for your character’s progress. You can eventually place more Potion Stations in the room as you advance in the game.
    • Potting Table: Conjure this table with 2x Moonstones during the “Room of Requirement” quest. It allows you to grow various plants in pots, similar to what you’d find in the Herbology class.
    • Loom: After unlocking the Vivarium, you can extract resources from your creatures, which can then be used at the Loom to upgrade your gear. The Loom helps enhance your clothing by adding buffs and traits, provided you have the right ingredients.

These features and activities within the Room of Requirement offer players opportunities for customization, crafting, and improving their character’s abilities, making it a versatile and enjoyable space in the game.

Vivarium

A place where Hagrid would be proud of you! Even though this won’t be available at the beginning but as you play through the game you’ll eventually unlock the Vivarium inside the Room of Requirement. To be precise players can unlock the Vivarium after they complete their first Beast class in Hogwarts. The Vivarium will be a safe haven for all the creatures that you rescue during your journey.

Players can keep creatures like the Puffskein, Niffler, Graphorn, Thestral, and many more. You’ll be able to care for these creatures inside the Vivarium by petting them and feeding them. In return, you will be able to acquire some useful resources from them which can later be used in the Loom table to upgrade your gear.

Customization

Here’s what you can customize and how to do it:

  1. Furniture and Decor: Players can conjure various furniture items such as tables, chairs, rugs, paintings, and more using the Conjuring spell. Each item will require moonstones to create. Additionally, you can use the Altering spell to change the color, size, and theme of these items.
  2. Room Elements: You have the flexibility to modify the floor, walls, stairs, and balconies inside the Room of Requirement. Use the Altering spell to completely change their appearance, either by altering the theme or the color. Themes you can choose from include Scientific, Eclectic, Botanical, and Gothic.
  3. Color Options: There are numerous color options available for your customization, allowing for a wide range of combinations and styles.
  4. Ambiance and Lighting: You can change the lighting and ambiance of the room by speaking with Deek, the house elf. There are four different ambiance options to choose from, each creating a unique atmosphere:
    • Cool and Moonlit (Midnight Ambiance)
    • Natural and Earthy (Outdoor Ambiance)
    • Warm and Cosy (Comfortable Ambiance)
    • Dark and Mysterious (Eerie Ambiance)

These customization features provide players with the creative freedom to make the Room of Requirement truly their own, with endless possibilities to design and modify their space according to their preferences. You can change the ambiance at any time, regardless of the time of day in the game.
