Once players complete the “Following the Butterflies” quest from Clementine Willardsey and obtain the first butterfly location, 14 more will open up around Hogwarts Legacy.
Each location leads to a chest that contains a different Conjuration Spellcraft as a reward. There is no particular order you need to follow to find all locations.
- North Ford Bog -> Northeast of the Pitt-Upon-Ford Floo Flame.
- Forbidden Forest -> East of Jackdaw’s Tomb Floo Flame.
- Hogsmeade Valley -> South of the East Hogsmeade Valley Floo Flame.
- North Hogwarts Region -> West of the East North Hogwarts Region Floo Flame.
- South Hogwarts Region -> South of Mooncalf Den Floo Flame.
- South Hogwarts Region -> South of Aranshire Floo Flame.
- Hogwarts Valley -> East of Central Hogwarts Valley Floo Flame.
- Hogwarts Valley -> West of Keenbridge Floo Flame.
- Hogwarts Valley -> North of The Mine’s Eye Floo Flame.
- Feldcroft Region -> West of North Feldcroft Floo Flame.
- Feldcroft Region -> East of Feldcroft Catacomb Floo Flame.
- Poidsear Coast -> East of Tomb of Treachery Floo Flame.
- Poidsear Coast -> South Poidsear Coast Floo Flame.
- Clagmar Coast -> Northwest of Clagmar Castle Floo Flame.
Every Butterfly Location is relatively simple to find if you follow a few simple steps:
- Fast travel to the designated Floo Flame.
- Follow the cardinal direction stated in the guide on your compass.
- Your compass is located on the bottom-left of your screen. The cardinal locations are N = North, W = West, S = South, and E = East.
- Wait for the Butterfly Icon to pop up on your mini-map.
- A butterfly icon will always pop up when you are near one of the butterfly locations, but it will not remain on your map.
- The icon pops up even if you fly over or near the location. You don’t need to pass directly over it.
Thankfully, we’ve provided images of each location below to help you pinpoint exactly where to find all 14 butterfly locations.

- At some point, the butterflies will stop.
- Once they stop, you’ll see the chest appear under them.
Just follow these simple steps, and you’ll quickly obtain all of the butterfly chests in Hogwarts Legacy.

What Are in Butterfly Chests Hogwarts Legacy?
The chests that the butterflies lead you to in Hogwarts Legacy are always Conjuration Spellcrafts.
Players can find these small hexagon chests scattered all around Hogwarts Legacy. They allow players to learn the Conjuration Spells for the Room of Requirement.
Players need first unlock the Room of Requirement to make use of them. Unfortantely, obtaining all of the butterflies won’t directly upgrade the players.
You’ll need to complete Merlin Trials to upgrade your Gear Space Inventory. Players can also complete Ancient Magic Hotspots to increase their Ancient Magic Meter.
