Simple But Effective Hogwarts Legacy Mod Removes One Of The Game's Most Frustrating Features

1 day ago 2

Hogwarts Legacy

Hogwarts Legacy is filled with activities for players to enjoy, but one of the more tedious challenges is undoubtedly tracking down all the Treasure Vaults. Locked behind a variety of puzzles, there are 112 Treasure Vaults scattered around Hogwarts and the surrounding area, and because each one is hidden off the beaten path, it can take a very long time to find them all. For those players who simply want to solve the conundrum at the end rather than searching high and low, there's now a mod that could be very helpful.

Over on Nexus Mods, creator Kiala Azules shared their appropriately titled "Treasure Vault Finder" mod which does exactly what one might assume and provides users with a trail to the nearest unlooted Vault. The route becomes visible on the map which eliminates the frustration of running around aimlessly. It's the perfect solution for those players who'd prefer to skip the challenge of navigating Hogwarts and instead enjoy the Treasure Vaults themselves; Once one's been looted, it's marked as such and won't pop up on the tracker upon a return visit.

Treasure Vaults Can Be Very Annoying

But They're Usually Worth The Effort

Many players will agree that the Treasure Vaults in Hogwarts Legacy can serve as a fun distraction but actually hunting them all down is arduous. Having said that, some great rewards can be looted from them. Witches and Wizards who feel as though their equipment just isn't powerful enough should spend some time exploring the grounds to unearth the various Vaults since some of the gear located inside is extremely powerful and can drastically improve one's combat effectiveness.

The best way to track down the Treasure Vaults, aside from downloading Kiala Azules' excellent mod, is to hop on a broomstick and fly around the map. Flying as low as possible, it's the easiest way to cover a massive section of ground quickly, hopefully speeding up the search. It's not ideal though as many Vaults are hidden away so sometimes a map marker feels like a necessity.

Screen Rant's Take: Treasure Vaults Are A Fun Addition

And They're Completely Optional

While it's hardly necessary to investigate and loot every Treasure Vault in Hogwarts Legacy, players who want to discover some of the game's better puzzles should make an effort to find them all. It can be tedious work but the reward is usually justified. Doing so after the story may result in loot that's a little weaker than one might like but solving the riddle at the end is usually worth the effort in and of itself.
