Where to Find a Phoenix in Hogwarts Legacy

There is only one opportunity to find a phoenix in Hogwarts Legacy, which is part of a particular quest. As you progress through Deek’s quest line, you’ll learn how to rescue beasts with your Nab-Sack, growing your Vivariums and Room of Requirement along the way.

Eventually, you’ll encounter a mission named “Phoenix Rising”, asking you to, well, rescue a phoenix. This is easier said than done, though!

Throughout this quest, you’ll venture into Phoenix Mountain Cave, fighting poachers and making your way through the winding paths. The phoenix will fly around here and there, but you’ll have to make your way up to the mountain’s peak before catching it.

Once you reach the peak, the phoenix will sit on a rock formation, where you can use your Nab-Sack to rescue it!

Once you bring the phoenix back to the Room of Requirement and speak to Deek, a new Vivarium will open up, and the bird will automatically appear inside. From here, you can head inside and take care of your new fiery friend!

Hogwarts Legacy is available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch through the official website.
