How to get the Elder Wand in Hogwarts Legacy

The most powerful wand of all.

The world of witches and wizards is vast, and you can explore it all in Hogwarts Legacy. One of the biggest parts of being a student at the School for Witchcraft and Wizardry, aside from getting sorted into a house, is getting your own wand. Your wand is a personal tool for a witch or wizard, but sometimes you want to forgo the weaker ones and get your hands on the most powerful one in the land; the Elder Wand. This guide will show you how to get the Elder Wand in Hogwarts Legacy.

Where to find the Elder Wand in Hogwarts Legacy

Unfortunately, if you are looking to get the version of the Elder Wand from the movies/books, that one is impossible to obtain. The closest you can get is a wand made of Elder Wood with one of three cores; Unicorn, Phoenix, or Dragon. The real Elder Wand may make an appearance in a future DLC. Until then, you can at least get something close to it.

To get your hands on one of the different Elder Wand variants, you first need to link the account you are playing the game on to your WB Account and Wizarding World Account. These accounts will get you additional items in the game, like the Beaked Skull Mask and some House Robes. If you have already completed the wand quiz on the Wizarding World site, you will need to make a new account before linking it since there is no way to change the wand you get during the quiz.
