Hogwarts Legacy Dark Arts Pack: How To Claim and Unlock Items

Hogwarts Legacy is a game about living your Harry Potter fantasies, and for the most part, it allows you to do just that. Whether it's visiting the Honeydukes sweet shop in Hogsmeade to eat fancy candies or flying over Hogwarts on a Hippogriff, Hogwarts Legacy lets you do them all. 

However, if you're more of a sinister kind and are looking to build a character that uses Unforgivable curses in combat, you may want to hone your style game with the Dark Arts pack. Buying the digital deluxe edition of the game will get you the Dark Arts Pack in Hogwarts Legacy. But how exactly can you claim its rewards in-game? Read on to find out.

REMINDER - Hogwarts Legacy was due to launch on PS4 and Xbox One on April 4, but now won't release until 5 May 2023.

Everything included in the Dark Arts pack in Hogwarts Legacy

Before we get into the nitty-gritty of how to claim every item in the Dark Arts pack, let's discuss all the items that come with it. 

The Dark Arts pack in Hogwarts Legacy contains the following items: 

• Thestral Mount
• Dark Arts Battle Arena
• Dark Arts Cosmetic Set (Scarf, Gloves, Mask, Hat, Robe, and Ensemble)

How to claim and equip every item in the Dark Arts pack 

Thestral Mount Sepuchria

The Thestral Sepuchria is available to claim once you unlock the Flying Mounts in Hogwarts Legacy. The Flying Mounts are unlocked after finishing the main quest, "The High Keep." It's very early in the story, so you won't have to grind hours to unlock your new Thestral mount. 
Once flying mounts are available, you can click on its icon in the Gear section and select Sepuchira.

Dark Arts Cosmetic Set

Every item in the Dark Arts Cosmetic set will be available to equip as soon as you finish the prologue and get sorted into your house. To equip these, go to the Gear, select the option to change appearance, and you will find all the Dark Arts cosmetic items.

Dark Arts Battle Arena

The Dark Arts Battle Arena lets you practice Unforgiving curses like Avada Kedavra in secret. The Arena is located in the Forbidden Forest since you obviously cannot practice these spells on the castle grounds.

While we are not clear as to when the Dark Arts Battle Arena becomes available to use in Hogwarts Legacy, we are assuming it's after unlocking the three Unforgiving Curses: Avada Kedavra, Crucio, and Imperio, via Sebastian Swallow's companion quests. We will update this article for more concrete information as soon it's available.

And that's it! That concludes our guide on how to claim the Dark Arts pack items in Hogwarts Legacy.
