Where to Find Demiguise Moons in Hogwarts Legacy

If you're trying to upgrade your Alohomora spell beyond its base level, you'll quickly discover that Demiguise Moons are the currency you need. They're not handed to you — you have to hunt them down, and knowing where to look makes a significant difference in how smoothly your playthrough progresses.

What Are Demiguise Moons and Why Do They Matter?

Demiguise Moons are collectible items found inside Demiguise Statues — small, glowing figurines scattered across Hogwarts Castle and the surrounding regions. They're tied directly to one NPC: Gladwin Moon, the Hogwarts caretaker who teaches you Alohomora early in the main story.

Each time you bring Moon enough Demiguise Moons, he upgrades your lockpicking spell:

That's 22 Demiguise Moons total to fully max out the spell. The game contains more than enough statues to reach this — but only if you know where to look.

The Core Rule: Statues Only Appear at Night 🌙

This is the single most important thing to know. Demiguise Statues are only visible and collectible during nighttime in the game world. If you approach a statue during the day, it won't be glowing and you cannot pick it up.

To change the time of day, simply open your map and use the Wait option to advance to night. You can do this anywhere, at any time. Make it a habit to flip to night before hunting statues in a new area.

Where Demiguise Statues Are Located

Statues are split across two broad categories: inside Hogwarts Castle and in the open-world locations beyond it.

Inside Hogwarts Castle

A significant number of statues are hidden inside the castle itself — in classrooms, corridors, common rooms, and staff quarters. Many of these are behind locked doors, which creates a progression loop: you need Moons to upgrade Alohomora, but some Moons are behind doors that require a higher Alohomora level to open.

Key areas within Hogwarts to search:

• The Library and surrounding corridors
• Astronomy Tower area
• Faculty Tower rooms
• Hospital Wing and adjacent hallways
• Rooms accessible only with Level 2 and Level 3 Alohomora

Because Hogwarts is large and multi-layered, vertical navigation matters. Statues are placed on multiple floors, and some require solving environmental puzzles or using Wingardium Leviosa or Accio to access.

Hogsmeade Village

Hogsmeade contains several statues spread across its shops and back alleys. These are generally more accessible than castle statues — fewer are gated behind high-level locks — making the village a good early farming area once you've unlocked fast travel to the region.

Hamlets and Field Areas 🗺️

The broader open world contains statues in named locations including:

• Aranshire
• Brocburrow
• Irondale
• Lower Hogsfield
• Norwood
• Keenbridge
• Feldcroft
• Marunweem
• Clagmar Coast

Each hamlet typically contains one to three statues, usually inside buildings. Because buildings in hamlets are smaller and more linear than the castle, these are often quicker to clear once you're in the area.

Coastal and Wilderness Regions

Some statues appear in structures within wilderness zones — ruins, camps, and isolated buildings. These tend to be the most easily missed because players often move through wilderness areas without entering every building.

How to Track Them Efficiently

The in-game map does not mark Demiguise Statues by default. However, once you enter a new area and discover a statue, it registers in your collections tab. The game tracks how many statues remain in each region, though it doesn't pinpoint exact locations on the map until you're nearby.

Practical approaches players use:

• Clear Hogwarts first — the castle has the highest density of statues and you'll be there frequently anyway
• Use Revelio — the spell highlights interactable objects nearby, including statues, when you're in the right area at night
• Visit every indoor space in each hamlet — statues are almost always indoors, so don't skip buildings that look unimportant
• Return to areas with locked doors after upgrading Alohomora — some statues become accessible only after you've already earned earlier upgrades

Variables That Affect Your Collection Progress

How quickly you collect all 22+ Moons depends on a few factors that vary by player:

Exploration style plays the largest role. Players who systematically clear each region before moving on will accumulate Moons steadily. Players following the main quest linearly may find themselves short and need to backtrack.

Alohomora upgrade timing creates a dependency chain. Collecting enough early Moons to reach Level 2 unlocks more statue locations, which makes reaching Level 3 faster. Prioritizing Moon delivery to Gladwin Moon over other side activities tends to accelerate overall progression.

Whether you use external guides or prefer discovery changes the experience meaningfully. The statue system is designed to reward thorough exploration, but the nighttime restriction and indoor placement mean some statues are genuinely easy to miss without reference material.

Fast travel availability matters more than it might seem. The open-world regions are large, and having Floo Flame locations unlocked across hamlets makes revisiting areas to collect statues far less time-consuming.

The gap between "knowing statues exist" and "efficiently collecting all of them" is wider than most collectible systems in the game — and how that gap feels largely depends on how you prefer to play.
