The North Hogwarts Region Ancient Magic Hotspot is one of the 20 magic pools scattered throughout the open world of the video game developed by Avalanche Software. This pool of magic is mandatory if you want to achieve 100% completion in the North Hogwarts Region of Hogwarts Legacy.
Clearing multiple Ancient Magic Hotspots allows you to complete Challenges and increase the capacity of your Ancient Magic Meter, which means you’ll use those big damage spells more frequently. You can claim the upgrades for your Ancient Magic Meter from the Exploration tab of the Challenges menu. Also, it’s important to know that you can start looking for these Magic Hotspots, which count as collectibles, after completing Percival Rackham’s Trial main quest.
Where To Find the North Hogwarts Region Ancient Magic Hotspot in Hogwarts Legacy
As you can see on the following map, you have to go to the east side of the region to find the magic pool in front of some ruins between the East North Hogwarts Region and The Collector’s Cave Floo Flames.
Once you get close to the Magic Hotspot, it should appear on your map, making it even easier to find.
However, the tricky part is just getting started because you must clear Ancient Hotspot by finding 3 Magic Runes. Before looking for the Runes, you must interact with the magic pool and burn the thorns blocking your way into the ruins. To remove the thorns, you should use Incendio, unlocked after Professor Hecat’s Assignment 1.
You can pick up the first Magic Rune from the stone pedestal in front of the newly cleared entrance. The other two Runes are under you, and to drop down to the underground, you have to go behind the pedestal and destroy the wooden boards covering the hole here.
The next Rune is found in the northwestern corner of this underground room, which seems to be a tomb. For the last Rune, you need to pull the handle on the northeastern part of the room. To do so, you must use the Accio spell learned while completing the Charms Class main quest. After pulling the handle, a small secret room is revealed on the left side, and here you have the last Magic Rune.
