The Room of Requirement is a space within Hogwarts Legacy that players can use to craft potions, grow plants, and upgrade their gear.
It also houses Vivariums, which players can use to care for magical creatures and gain useful resources to further upgrade their gear.
Once you’re done exploring the Room of Requirement, why not check out the impressive surprises Hogwarts Legacy’s enormous open world has to offer?
Can You Customize the Room of Requirement in Hogwarts Legacy?
Yes, you can customize practically every aspect of the Room of Requirement in Hogwarts Legacy both in terms of gameplay and aesthetics.
You can alter the ceiling, furniture, and decorations as well as conjure additional decorations. Furthermore, you can add stations that offer new gameplay features, such as the Loom.
If you like customizing every little detail in games, then you’re in for a treat with a surprisingly impressive and in-depth customization feature in Hogwarts Legacy!
Once placed, items in the Room of Requirement can then be customized further, and you can change their color, style, size, position, and location. This applies to both cosmetics and gameplay-focused utilities.
Any alterations or conjurings are done in-game and not through a menu. You’ll see your character wave their wand around to place items that will then appear in real-time.
How to Conjure New Furniture & Decorations in Hogwarts Legacy
To conjure furniture, equipment, or decorations, you must be in the Room of Requirement. You’ll need to select from your conjuration recipes which item you wish to conjure.
Conjuring a new piece of furniture, equipment, or decoration will cost you some resources. However, once placed, it can have its style (color or pattern, for example) altered for no additional cost.
Of course, if you want to customize your Room of Requirement on the go, don’t worry. There’s a new way to play Hogwarts Legacy in handheld mode without sacrificing visual quality!
If you’re low on resources, you can also remove any item and receive a small number of the type of resource used to conjure it in return.
