When roaming the dusty halls of Hogwarts, you might find yourself in need of some quick healing, in which case the hospital wing should be your go to. Unfortunately, it isn’t exactly easy to spot it.

We’ll be going through everything you need to know about getting to the hospital wing, including which quest it directly relates to unlocking access to it.

How to unlock access to the Hospital Wing to Hogwarts Legacy

Before you’re able to head to the hospital wing for yourself, you need to progress in the main Hogwarts Legacy storyline a little. This is because the path to the Hospital Wing is only reachable when passing through a locked door, and Alohomora, which is the spell that unlocks level 1 doors, is unlocked when completing a specific quest.

You’ll know you have access to the main story quest after the Hogwarts Caretaker, Gladwin Moon sends you an owl and asks you to meet him near the Grand Staircase. The quest itself is called ‘The Caretaker’s Lunar Lament’, and requires you to destroy a couple of Demiguise statues by removing their Demiguise Moons.

After unlocking the Alohomora spell, all that’s left to do is to follow the right path to get to the Hospital Wing:

  1. Start by fast traveling to the Faculty Tower Floo Flame.
  2. Go straight as soon as you spawn, and take the first door to the left. Note that this will be the door you would have unlocked in the above mentioned quest.
  3. You’ll find in front of you a couple of flights of stairs. Keep going up all the while ignoring the landings until you come across a statue of a turquoise unicorn in a fountain. (Three flights of stairs sticking left, one flight of stairs heading right, and then two spiral staircases.)
  4. Turn to the left in front of the unicorn fountain and there will be the Hospital Wing.

It is highly recommended that, regardless of the quest you’re doing or the reason you’ve come to the Hospital Wing, you activate the Floo Flame fast travel spot which should be just outside the room in front of the stairs. This will make getting to the Hospital Ward again much easier all the while saving you some valuable time and effort climbing all those stairs.
