Where is the Room of Requirement in Hogwarts Legacy? How to reach secret areas
The details you require.
Hogwarts Legacy is a game made for Potterheads. It's the ultimate fan service for a generation of readers who spent their childhoods lost in the pages of Harry and friends. It's also a great game that stands on its own, but there is a lot that fans will recognise.
From brewing potions in the dungeon to tending to plants in the greenhouse, it's the same Hogwarts we know and love (despite the difference in era). And on Friday 5th May, owners of PS4s and Xbox Ones can relive their childhoods too by exploring the literary castle they discovered all those years ago.
One very familiar location is the Room of Requirement. Appearing when students most desire it, it's where Harry and his friends trained to fight against the Dark Arts when it was outlawed.
Wondering where it is? Well, like in the books, you won't be able to find it unless you really need it... and your character will need it after a certain mission.

How to unlock the Hogwarts Legacy Room of Requirement
You will find the Room of Requirement in Hogwarts Legacy several hours into the main story when Professor Weasley will introduce you to the room and show you its location during the Tomes and Tribulations mission.
Completing this quest will unlock the 'The Room of Requirement' main mission. This is where Professor Weasley will show you its location.
These missions come fairly early in the list of Hogwarts Legacy main missions, so keep playing and you'll eventually reach it.

How to find the Room of Requirement in Hogwarts Legacy
You can find the Room of Requirement on a wall in the Astronomy Wing of Hogwarts, which can be accessed by climbing the stairs in the Defence Against the Dark Arts tower. You'll know you're in the right place when you enter a hallway with a tapestry on one side (with the Room of Requirement entrance located on the opposite wall).
Perhaps an easier way is to open the map screen and click on the sun icon near the top of the screen hovering over Hogwarts itself.
Clicking on that icon will bring up the Secret Rooms section on your list of Floo Flames locations. Your secret rooms include the Room of Requirement and the Map Chamber. Simply select the Room of Requirement to fast travel directly inside the room itself. You can head back there at any time without trawling the corridors of the magical school, provided you have completed the initial missions.
Now get back inside the Room of Requirement if you want to brew some potions and tend to some plants. And later on, you'll be able to befriend some of the many Hogwarts Legacy beasts and upgrade your gear there too!
