Is the Chamber of Secrets in Hogwarts Legacy & can you open it?

The dungeon from the second book/movie created by Salazar Slytherin and guarded by the Basilisk is an iconic location for Harry Potter fans, so is the Chamber of Secrets in Hogwarts Legacy, and can it be opened? Well, you can find the answer to these questions in our handy hub below. 

Hogwarts Legacy is home to plenty of iconic locations from the Harry Potter books and films, with many being faithfully recreated for the game. However, one of the most iconic places in the films and books is the Chamber of Secrets. 

As a result, many Witches and Wizards will be wondering whether this underground Chamber makes an appearance in Hogwarts Legacy. After all, the Chamber of Secrets is home to The Serpent of Slytherin – a monolithic Basilisk that was placed deep under the grounds of Hogwarts. 

So, if you’re wondering whether Salazar Slytherin’s iconic underground dungeon is present in Hogwarts Legacy and whether you can open it, our hub has everything you need to know. 

Is the Chamber of Secrets in Hogwarts Legacy?

No, the Chamber of Secrets is not in Hogwarts Legacy. However, the entrance that leads to the dungeon can be visited and interacted with. While it’s disappointing that the Chamber itself can not be opened by the player, it’s understandable given they can’t speak or learn Parseltongue – an ability that enables gifted Witches and Wizards to speak to serpents. 

Hogwarts Legacy Chamber of Secrets entrance location

The entrance that leads to the Chamber of Secrets can be found by using the Lower Grand Staircase Floo Flame. Once you’ve traveled to this destination, simply follow the instructions outlined below:

• Run down the stairs. 
• Take a right (past the armored knight).
• Run down the hallway.
• Take another right and head into the girls’ toilets. 
• Use Revelio on the sink. 

Once you’ve followed the above instructions, you’ll see the Field Guide Page for Slytherin’s Sink, which gives a little reference to the mystery behind the Chamber of Secrets. 

Is the Basilisk in Hogwarts Legacy?

As the Chamber of Secrets is not available in Hogwarts Legacy, the Basilisk also doesn’t appear in the game. Fans originally thought a glitch involving the Black Lake’s giant squid was actually an eerie Easter Egg surrounding the mighty Basilisk, but sadly it wasn’t the case.

Whether the developers will add the Basilisk and the Chamber of Secrets in any future sequel remains to be seen. For now, that’s everything we know. 

So, there you have it, that’s everything you need to know about the Chamber of Secrets in Hogwarts Legacy. Make sure you check out the Hogwarts Legacy page for all the latest information.
