One of the methods listed above is visiting specific locations. Throughout the game, you’ll unlock spots that give you bonus energy. Once you redeem the reward, it will go on cooldown, preventing you from claiming from the same place multiple times. However, not all of them are available immediately, and you’ll need to advance through the game to find more. There are numerous different locations you can travel to get free energy:

  1. East Towers: Interact with Peeves the Poltergeist in the Divination classroom.
