Where is the Undercroft in Hogwarts Legacy?
The Undercroft is a secret location in Hogwarts Legacy that will only be revealed to players during the In the Shadow of the Undercroft quest. Known to the Gaunt family for generations, it has since become a hideout for Ominis Gaunt and the Sallow twins, Sebastian and Anne.
Hogwarts Legacy: 23 Secret Locations You Might Have Missed
Given Hogwarts Legacy’s huge open world, it’s possible that players may have missed some of its more secret locations.
While this trio used to play Gobstones in the Undercroft, players can use it as an area to practice spells, especially Wingardium Leviosa with all the barrels in the room. There is also a secondary secret entrance to the Undercroft in Hogwarts Legacy from well outside the castle.
How To Find The Undercroft In Hogwarts Legacy
The Undercroft cannot be entered until players reach the Shadow of the Undercroft quest. This is the 18th quest in Hogwarts Legacy, and follows on from The Room of Requirement mission.
Remember to use Compass Path to Objective in Hogwarts Legacy by pressing Up on the D-Pad or V. The Field Guide will then make a trail to the objective.
Players should get an objective marker to meet Sebastian in the Defense Against the Dark Arts Tower, just by a skeleton of a large horned creature.
Simply follow the direction that the horn is pointing in, going to the left of a staircase, to a dead end. This is where players will find a magical cabinet that leads to the Undercroft.
To get to this skeleton, however, it’s arguably best to explain from the perspective of the nearest Floo Flame locations.

Hogwarts Legacy is home to countless secrets, but players might struggle with finding the Battle Arenas scattered across the map.
How To Get To The Undercroft In Hogwarts Legacy Via Floo Flame
Unlike other secret rooms in Hogwarts, such as the Map Chamber and Room of Requirement, the Undercroft does not have a Floo Flame to fast travel to.
The closest Floo Flame is the Defense Against the Dark Arts Tower, which is within the Astronomy Wing. From here:
- Head down the stairs, sticking to the right side of the banister, following it right.
- Stop when you reach the large skeleton of a horned creature.
- Stay on this floor and head in the direction of the horn.
- Keep going to the dead end where the secret cabinet is found.
From the Transfiguration Courtyard Floo Flame location, players can also enter the double doors to the tower, and then head up the stairs, turn left, and they will see the skeleton, pointing them in the direction of the Undercroft.
Hogwarts Legacy: Ancient Magic Hotspot Locations
There are 20 Ancient Magic Hotspots for players to find in Hogwarts Legacy. Here’s where each of them is located.
Entrance To The Undercroft In Isadora Morganach’s House
Later in the story, during the quest known as In the Shadow of the Estate, the main character and Sebastian will explore the ruins of Isadora’s house.
After entering and ducking under a hole in the wall, players should be able to walk down some stairs to the cellar.
Inside the cellar, break apart a wall of shelves with normal attacks, and behind here, there is a mirror that acts as a secret passage to the Undercroft, and thus into Hogwarts.
Be wary of the Devil’s Snare in Isadora’s House. Use Lumos to dispel it.
Unfortunately, this is only a one-way passage, so it cannot be used to quickly get to Feldcroft from inside Hogwarts.
