We\u2019ll start by answering a couple of key questions \u2013 should you contain or open the Final Repository when Professor Fig asks, and can you keep playing after the final story mission? \u2013 and then we\u2019ll get deep into Hogwarts Legacy spoilers and run through how the game\u2019s endings differ.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll mark the spoilers<\/strong> clearly when we get to them, so you should be able to avoid them if you\u2019d like. And so, feel free to read on and learn everything you want to know about the Hogwarts Legacy endings.<\/p>\n One piece of housekeeping before we get into the spoilers! If you\u2019re wondering if you can carry on playing and mop up your unfinished side quests after the Hogwarts Legacy ending, you\u2019re in luck \u2013 this game does not have a \u2018point of no return\u2019 mechanic. You can keep playing after the ending<\/strong> until your heart is content.<\/p>\n After you take down Rookwood and Ranrok, you will return to your Hogwarts Legacy common room<\/a> and see the message above. It says that you are now free to continue any side quests that take your fancy. So if you are just about to start the last main mission, don\u2019t worry about finishing everything off before you head to the Final Repository.<\/p>\n Once you\u2019ve battled your way to the Final Repository of Ancient Magic, through trolls and goblins aplenty, Professor Fig will ask the big question: \u2018What do you intend to do with it?\u2019<\/p>\n The game gives you an option, allowing you to choose between \u2018I intend to open it\u2019 and \u2018I intend to keep it contained here\u2019. But which one should you pick? The choice, of course, is yours. And we would say it comes down to personal preference and how you\u2019ve been approaching the game<\/strong>.<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve been tending towards evil in Hogwarts Legacy<\/a> throughout your hours with the game, you should choose to open the Repository to complete your arc and embrace the dark side.<\/p>\n But if your character is more of a goodie two-shoes, you should opt to keep it contained. Fig will ask if you\u2019re sure and then the game will move on. We\u2019ll get into what this choice actually changes below, so this is your final warning for major Hogwarts Legacy spoilers<\/strong>!<\/p>\n Whichever option you choose, things don\u2019t exactly go to plan. Regardless of what you say to Professor Fig, Ranrok the goblin will burst in and claim the dark power for himself. He will transform into a big magic dragon and offer you a very tough boss battle.<\/p>\n If you chose to \u2018open it\u2019, embracing the \u2018evil\u2019 ending, Professor Fig will be killed by the Ranrok Dragon in the cut-scene before the fight. This is a blink-and-you\u2019ll-miss-it moment, with a massive pile of debris being walloped onto your kindly mentor. After the fight, the player-character will absorb the dark energy and their eyes will glow red for a brief moment. This seems to imply that your character has become more powerful and could potentially go down a dark path in future.<\/p>\n If you chose to \u2018keep it contained\u2019, opting for the \u2018good\u2019 ending, Professor Fig will still die. Although he survives the fight in this case, he will over-exert himself and pass away as you try to put the ancient power back in the Repository. The Hogwarts Legacy ending is something of a no-win scenario, then. You\u2019ll hear Fig\u2019s eulogy from Professor Black<\/a> and Professor Weasley either way.<\/p>\n Also, it\u2019s worth noting that the player-character does not immediately gain any special powers if they do imbibe the ancient magic. Your choice in this scene does not impact your post-game experience and you will still have the same side missions left regardless of what you pick. Sebastian\u2019s storyline involving his sister, for example, is not impacted by your choice in the main story. We\u2019ll have to wait for a Hogwarts Legacy DLC or sequel to learn more about your character\u2019s future!<\/p> Shortly after the cut-scenes are finished, you will receive a summons to Professor Weasley\u2019s office. She will take a look at your Field Guide and tell you that you still have some work to do, allowing you to go back into the world and keep working on your side hustles.<\/p>\n Once your character reaches level 34, you\u2019ll be able to trigger a mission called The House Cup, which is the last of the Hogwarts Legacy chapters<\/a>. If you slog through side missions to make it to this point, you\u2019ll be rewarded with a montage of scenes that sees the House Cup being awarded and the students finishing their school year. (Spoiler alert, just like in the Harry Potter films, your house wins!)<\/p>\n This final set of scenes is being called the game\u2019s true ending in many places online. You\u2019ll need to get to that point if you want to collect all the Hogwarts Legacy trophies<\/a> and see the credits roll. There\u2019s no post-credits scene to speak of, but you will get to keep playing after the credits if you somehow still have things to do!<\/p> Can you keep playing after the Hogwarts Legacy ending?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
