Hogwarts Legacy Moon Locations: Every Demiguise Statue for Alohomora Upgrades

Finding every Hogwarts Legacy moon location is more than just a completionist’s dream; it is a mechanical necessity for any witch or wizard who wants to explore every locked room in the castle and the surrounding highlands. These glowing moons, held by small, owl-like Demiguise statues, are the keys to upgrading the Unlocking Charm, Alohomora. Without them, level II and level III locks remain an impassable barrier to high-end loot and hidden lore.

Collecting these moons requires specific conditions. They only appear—or rather, become interactable—during the night. If a statue is found during the day, the protagonist will remark on its presence, but the moon cannot be snatched until the sun goes down. Fortunately, the game provides a "Wait" mechanic accessible via the map screen, allowing players to transition to nighttime instantly.

The prerequisite: The Caretaker’s Lunar Lament

Before embarking on a hunt for Hogwarts Legacy moon locations, the main story quest titled "The Caretaker’s Lunar Lament" must be completed. This quest, given by the Hogwarts caretaker Gladwin Moon, introduces the mechanic and provides the first level of Alohomora. During this mission, two moons are collected automatically. However, there are 30 additional statues scattered across the world that must be found to fully master the spell.

To upgrade to Alohomora Level II, nine moons must be returned to Gladwin Moon. For Level III, an additional thirteen moons are required. Finding all thirty is recommended for the achievement and the convenience of total access.

Hogwarts Castle: Inner sanctum locations

There are ten Demiguise statues hidden within the walls of Hogwarts. Many are tucked away in classrooms or behind locked doors that require at least Level I of the spell.

1. The Great Hall

In the Great Hall, head to the far end and look for a door with a Level I lock in the southwest corner. Behind this door lies a small room where the statue sits on a table. This is one of the easiest moons to grab early in the game.

2. Divination Classroom

Travel to the Divination Classroom Floo Flame in the Library Annex. Climb the wooden stairs all the way to the top and climb the ladder that drops down. The statue is sitting on Professor Onai’s desk at the back of the room.

3. The Restricted Section (Library)

While this area is visited during a main quest, many players miss the moon on their first pass. Head deep into the Restricted Section in the basement of the Library. Follow the path down until you reach the floor before the final chamber. The statue is visible on a desk next to some lamps.

4. Muggle Studies Classroom

From the Transfiguration Classroom Floo Flame in the Astronomy Wing, turn around and enter the North Hall. Go down the stairs to the dungeons. Follow the hall past the dragon statue and find the door to the Muggle Studies classroom on the left. It requires Level I Alohomora. The moon is on a cabinet inside.

5. Professor Fig’s Office

Enter Professor Fig’s classroom in the Astronomy Wing and head up the stairs to his private office. The statue is located on the back table near the fireplace. This area is accessible very early in the game.

6. Haunted Toilets (Gryffindor Tower)

In the South Wing, head toward the Faculty Tower. Go down the stairs past the map of Argyllshire. Further down the hall, there is a locked door marked as "out of order." Use Alohomora to enter, and look in the middle stall to find the statue hidden behind a wooden crate.

7. Defense Against the Dark Arts Tower

From the Transfiguration Courtyard, enter the Defense Against the Dark Arts Tower. Immediately to the right of the entrance is a Level II lock. If the character has already upgraded the spell once, this room can be opened to find a statue on a high cabinet.

8. The Long Gallery

Located in the Library Annex, the Long Gallery is a long hallway filled with paintings. At one end is a door with a Level II lock. Inside, the statue is surrounded by various potions and jars. This area connects the Potions Classroom to the Bell Tower Wing.

9. Hogwarts North Exit

Fast travel to the North Exit Floo Flame. Turn back toward the castle and look for the small room built into the ramparts on the left side (near the stairs). It has a Level I lock. The statue is inside on a crate.

10. Beasts Classroom

Head to the wooden building used for Beasts class outside the castle walls. One of the doors (Professor Howin’s office) has a Level II lock. The statue is resting on a table inside.

Hogsmeade: Village moon locations

Hogsmeade is densely packed with nine moons. Because the village is relatively small, these can be gathered quickly once the player has Level I and Level II Alohomora.

1. Tomes and Scrolls

Inside the Tomes and Scrolls shop in the southern part of Hogsmeade, go behind the counter and into the side room. The statue is sitting on a dresser. This requires no lock-picking.

2. Hog’s Head

Go into the Hog’s Head tavern near the western docks. The statue is in the back room, tucked away on some crates. Accessing this room is straightforward and does not require a spell.

3. Gladrags Wizardwear

Inside the Gladrags shop (which shares space with Dervish and Banges), the statue is prominently displayed on the counter. It is easy to spot once you enter the Dervish and Banges side of the building.

4. The Three Broomsticks

Go to the very top floor of the Three Broomsticks inn. There is a locked door (Level I). Inside the private room, the statue is on a small table. This room also often contains a collection chest.

5. House near J. Pippin’s Potions

North of J. Pippin’s Potions, there is a house with a Level II lock. Head upstairs to find the moon on a dresser. This is a crucial location for those looking to reach Level III Alohomora.

6. The House across from Bingle and Blatch

In the center of town, across from the clothing shop, there is a house with a Level I lock. The statue is on the second floor.

7. River’s Edge House

On the northern edge of Hogsmeade, near Brood and Peck, there is a house across the small river. Open the Level I lock to find the moon sitting on the fireplace mantle.

8. Upper Hogsmeade House

Near the northernmost Floo Flame, look for a house with a Level I lock. The statue is on the ground floor, clearly visible upon entering.

9. House behind Honeydukes

Follow the path behind Honeydukes toward the east. There is a small residence with a Level I lock. The moon is located on a small table inside.

The Highlands: Rural and hamlet locations

There are eleven statues located in the various hamlets throughout the Highlands. These are often the easiest to find because they are usually in the primary residence of each small village.

1. Pitt-upon-Ford (North Ford Bog)

In the northernmost part of the map, enter the large house near the Floo Flame. Go to the top floor to find the statue on the floor near a mirror.

2. Upper Hogsfield (Hogsmeade Valley)

Head to the house with a Level I lock near the center of the hamlet. The statue is on a stool inside. This is a quick detour if you are flying toward the northern bog.

3. Aranshire (South Hogwarts Region)

Located just east of Hogwarts, this hamlet has a house right next to the Floo Flame. Break the Level I lock, and the statue is on the ground floor.

4. Lower Hogsfield (South Hogwarts Region)

Inside the house belonging to the Bickle family (identifiable by the Level I lock). The statue is tucked behind the door on the ground floor.

5. Brocburrow (Hogwarts Valley)

In the center of Brocburrow, there is a house near the vendor. Enter using Level I Alohomora. The statue is on the floor near a shelf.

6. Keenbridge (Hogwarts Valley)

Look for the house with a Level I lock that has a lot of pumpkins outside. The statue is on a table inside. This hamlet is a frequent stop for several side quests.

7. Feldcroft (Feldcroft Region)

In the village where Sebastian Sallow’s family resides, look for a house in the eastern part of the hamlet. It has a Level II lock. The statue is on a windowsill inside.

8. Irondale (Feldcroft Region)

Inside the house near the vendor, look for a statue hidden behind a wooden bench. This one doesn't always require a high-level lock and is easily accessible while exploring the southern coast.

9. Marunweem (Marunweem Lake)

In the Marunweem hamlet, locate the house in the center with a Level I lock. The statue is on the floor behind a counter.

10. Bainburgh (Manor Cape)

In the southern reaches of the map, find the house near the village shop with a Level II lock. The statue is sitting on a side table next to an armchair.

11. Cragcroft (Cragcroftshire)

In the far southeastern village, enter the house next to the vendor. Go to the top floor to find the final statue of the Highlands collection.

Strategies for efficient moon hunting

To make the process of finding Hogwarts Legacy moon locations more efficient, players should prioritize the "Revelio" charm. When used while flying on a broom at night, Revelio will highlight the blue outline of Demiguise statues through walls, provided you are close enough. This is particularly useful in the Highlands hamlets where houses look similar.

It is also recommended to collect the Hogsmeade and Highlands moons first. Many of these only require Level I Alohomora, providing enough moons to reach Level II quickly. Once Level II is unlocked, the more complex locks in Hogwarts Castle can be opened, leading to the final moons needed for Level III.

Frequently observed patterns

When exploring these Hogwarts Legacy moon locations, one might notice that statues are almost always placed in domestic settings—bedrooms, offices, or private sitting rooms. They are rarely out in the open air. This suggests that the "culprit" placing them intended for them to be found by people in their private spaces, likely as a prank against Caretaker Moon.

Another tip for players is to keep the volume up. When a Demiguise statue is nearby, the player character will often whisper, "You're mine now, Demiguise!" or a similar line. This audio cue is an excellent indicator that a moon is within a few meters, even if it is behind a wall or on a different floor.

By following this guide, the path to unlocking every door in the wizarding world becomes clear. While thirty moons may seem like a daunting number, the strategic use of nighttime waiting and the Revelio charm makes the hunt a rewarding journey through some of the most detailed interiors in the game. Whether you are seeking the legendary gear hidden in the Faculty Tower or simply want to complete your collection, these moon locations are your roadmap to success.
