Hogwarts Legacy is filled with many tricky puzzles that require the skills of a top wizard to progress. <\/span><\/p>\n

Some of the most commonly found in the game are Disillusionment Chests, or as they\u2019re more commonly referred to: eye chests.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since finally making its way to Nintendo Switch after initially launching on next-gen consoles earlier this year, millions of Harry Potter<\/a> fans have been pursuing their own magical journey in <\/span>Hogwarts Legacy<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, it\u2019s one of the best-selling games of 2023, with more than 15 million copies sold. That\u2019s not even taking into account Switch sales.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s a lot of people searching how to open eye chests. And it\u2019s well worth doing them, as all 14 Disillusionment Chests contain 500 Gold upon completion \u2013 a decent amount of money that can go towards purchasing new gear, potion ingredients and even brooms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Luckily, opening an eye chest is pretty simple. There\u2019s a specific spell required that takes away all of the hard work, meaning you can unlock each one in no time. What spell is that? Read on for all the details. <\/span><\/p>\n

To open a Hogwarts Legacy eye chest you will need to use the Disillusionment spell<\/strong> to hide from the box\u2019s eyeball, which follows you once spotted. Think Super Mario 64.\u00a0 Opening an eye chest in Hogwarts Legacy is not possible as long as the creature can see you. After it spots you, its eyeball will remain fixed upon you until leaving its line of sight.<\/p>\n

When spotting an eyeball chest, cast the Disillusionment spell to become invisible. Perform the spell away from the sight of the creepy chest. If the spell is cast too close, the eye chest will cast its gaze and remain locked. Instead do this out of its gaze, then sneak up and take the reward found within. Doing this correctly will let you open chests whenever you come across one on the map. Since Hogwarts Legacy is quite a long game<\/a> these can be a nice little distraction from the main story.<\/p>\n

To unlock Disillusionment in Hogwarts Legacy, you need to complete the Secrets of the Restricted Section main story mission<\/b>. This quest is fairly early into the game, just 10 missions in<\/a>, with completion likely after just a couple of hours of play if you\u2019ve been focusing solely on the story up until that point.<\/p>\n

So, don\u2019t waste any time trying to sneak up on these eyeball chests if you happen upon one before completing the Secrets of the Restricted Section story mission. You won\u2019t be able to open them before reaching this point in the game.<\/p>\n
