Hit game Hogwarts Legacy<\/a> finally looks to be fulfilling fans\u2019 dreams of a fully-fleshed Hogwarts to explore, complete with Hogsmeade Village, the Forbidden Forest, and, of course, Hogwarts Castle itself in all of its glory.<\/p>\n

However, of all the iconic locations to explore, few are quite as exciting as the Chamber of Secrets \u2013 a hidden chamber within the castle where founder Salazar Slytherin hid a Basilisk.<\/p>\n

Hogwarts Legacy is, of course, filled with secret passages and hidden rooms \u2013 but can players actually explore the famous chamber? Read on to find out.<\/p>\n

Is the Chamber of Secrets in Hogwarts Legacy?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There\u2019s good news and bad news here \u2013 the Chamber of Secrets does exist in the lore of Hogwarts Legacy<\/strong> and is mentioned a few times (see below), but no one has found a way to open the chamber in the game.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s possible the Chamber of Secrets could be added later on as Hogwarts Legacy DLC<\/a>. But perhaps the developers did not wish to infringe on the Harry Potter timeline<\/a>, where the chamber was discovered by Harry in 1993 and Tom Riddle a few years before that.<\/p>

How to find Chamber of Secrets nods in Hogwarts Legacy<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While you cannot access the Chamber of Secrets itself, you can visit the entrance which, as in the book and film, is in a girls\u2019 bathroom. It looks to have the same design as the bathroom in the Chamber of Secrets film, only without Moaning Myrtle as she has not been killed by the Basilisk herself yet.<\/p>\n

You can find the bathroom near the Lower Grand Staircase Floo Flame \u2013 turn right and follow the corridor until it starts to turn, then turn right again.<\/p>\n

Casting Revelio will reveal a Field Guide Page describing a mysterious snake seal scratched onto one of the taps \u2013 which you can actually see in-game if you look closely\u2026<\/p>\n
