To unlock Merlin’s Cloak in Hogwarts Legacy, players need to tune into the eligible streams on official Avalanche Software Twitch Channel.
Viewers on Twitch will need to stay for at least 20 minutes to redeem the in-game cosmetic.
So far, we have no information as to when Merlin’s Cloak will be available again. As soon as further streams get announced, we’ll update this article.
Chandler Wood, Hogwarts Legacy Community Manager, confirmed that more opportunities to obtain the rare cosmetic item would be coming in the weeks following launch.
So far, only one more stream has offered fans a chance to earn the rare cosmetic.
Past Merlin Cloak streams have taken place at
- February 7 at 8 AM PT/4 PM GMT
- February 10 at 8 AM PT/4 PM GMT
- February 24th at 2 PM PST / 5 PM EST
Merlin’s Cloak is only a limited-time reward and exclusive to this Twitch Drops event. It is unlikely that this cosmetic will ever appear as a reward in Hogwarts Legacy itself.
This Twitch Drop is even more exclusive since it is tied to specific Avalanche Software streams. The initial streams were broadcasts to commemorate the launch of Hogwarts Legacy’s early access.
Merlin’s Cloak Twitch Drops Progress Not Showing Up / Enabled
If your Merlin’s Cloak progress isn’t showing up on Twitch, refresh the page, and it should fix the issue. Once you refresh the page, you’ll see your updated progress toward the Merlin’s Cloak Hogwarts Legacy reward.
Here is how you can check to see if your progress is tracking:
- From the live stream, move your cursor to highlight your profile icon on the top right.
- Click on your icon, and a drop-down menu will appear.
- From this menu, you’ll see a section titled “Drops & Rewards.”
- Under this section, you’ll see your current progress for any active Twitch Drop campaigns. This means you should see your current Merlin Cloak progress.
- If you do not see any progress, then refresh your Twitch page.
Don’t forget to link your Harry Potter Fan Club account since it allows players to earn exclusive in-game rewards.
How to Claim Merlin’s Cloak From Twitch Drops & Rewards
To claim Merlin’s Cloak from Twitch Drops, you’ll need to access the Twitch Drops Inventory page once you’ve watched the live stream for a full twenty minutes and claim your cloak.
Once you’ve done this, you’ll need to head to the official Hogwarts Legacy Twitch Drop page and claim your reward there. You’ll need to claim the reward on both sites before it appears in-game.
- From the live stream, move your cursor to highlight your profile icon on the top right again.
- Click on your icon, and a drop-down menu will appear.
- Choose “Drops & Rewards” from the list of options.
- This page will show you all the active Twitch Drop campaigns you participate in.
- You should see the Merlin’s Cloak reward here.
- Once you have viewed twenty minutes of the stream and are ready to claim, choose “Claim Now.” This is still only the first step. You’ll need to do one more thing before they appear in-game for you.
- Head to the official Hogwarts Legacy Twitch Drop page here.
- Scroll down to Step 5. Here you’ll see all the rewards you can claim. Choose “Redeem” under each reward, and the next time you start Hogwarts Legacy, you’ll receive a prompt about your new rewards.
Players will also get a prompt in their chat when they’ve completed the reward, and it’s available to claim. If you choose “Claim,” when this pops up, it will immediately take you to the Inventory page.
Players tune into the official Avalanche Software Twitch Channel here.
