How to get the good ending or bad ending in Hogwarts Legacy : choose your ending

Whether you have chosen the supposed “bad” path through your wizarding adventure, the choice of Good or Evil endings in Hogwarts Legacy comes down to a single mission. During the main story quest, The Final Repository, you are presented with a choice of keeping the repository secret or revealing its power to the public; your answer will determine whether you get the “good” ending or the “evil” one. Let’s take a look at how that choice shapes your wizard’s path.

During the Final Repository, after defeating Ranrok’s Loyalists, you obtain the Repository, the source of Ancient Magic with professor Fig. At this point, you can choose to either keep the Repository hidden from the wizarding world or reveal its powers to the world. The game’s good ending is unlocked by choosing to keep the Repository a secret forever.

Following are the dialogue options you need to select:

  • Professor Fig: What do you intend to do with it?
  • Dialogue Choice: I intend to keep it contained here
  • Professor Fig: The Keepers wanted this secret to be locked away forever. How long will you keep it?
  • Dialogue Choice: I shall keep it secret forever

Finally, you will be able to fight Ranrok as the game’s final boss and finish off the main questline.

For the evil ending of the game, all you need to do is go a slightly different route regarding dialogue options in The Final Repository quest. This ending is unlocked if you expose Ancient Magic’s powers to the world by opening the Repository.

The following dialogue options will lead to the evil ending:

  • Professor Fig: What do you intend to do with it?
  • Dialogue Choice: I intend to open it
  • Professor Fig: After everything you’ve seen? What about Isidora’s fate?
  • Dialogue Choice: This power should not be kept from the world

If you want to experience both endings during a single playthrough, make sure you back up your save file before the dialogue choices are triggered during this mission.

How to unlock the “True” ending in Hogwarts Legacy

Whether you choose the good ending or evil ending in the game, you can still complete some post-game content to unlock, what some may consider, the “true” ending of the game. Completing all the side quests, puzzles, storyline relationships, reaching level 34, and finishing post-game tasks will trigger the true final ending of the game.

Which ending should I choose in Hogwarts Legacy?

This mostly comes down to personal choice, though we assume that most players will want to opt for the good ending.

No matter which ending you experience, you’ll still be free to continue playing the game. It’s not a case of game over in Hogwarts Legacy.

Players that want to avoid spoilers and complete two playthroughs in order to view both endings can also use this guide to do so!

We hope this guide has helped you understand the different endings in Hogwarts Legacy and how they are affected by your in-game choices. It’s unsure whether the “good” or the “evil” ending should be considered canon. However, given the title’s success, we can certainly expect a sequel that expands on the story and our choices made in the first game!
