Hogwarts Legacy is full of unique side quests and missions to embark on around the castle grounds and beyond. Some of them require a bit of searching, critical thinking, and patience to fully complete, such as the hunt for all the Daedalian Keys. There are plenty of winged keys flying around the castle that open up special cabinets containing House Tokens for your specific House Chest. We put together this guide to help you locate each one and get to opening that chest as soon as possible.
Where to find All Hogwarts Legacy Daedalian Keys Locations
There are 16 Daedalian Keys, which will unlock all the 16 House Tokens you need to open your House Chest in your common room. You can expect this quest to take a bit of time. Locating the keys is just as important as locating the cabinet which the key unlocks since this is what holds the missing Tokens. If you find the House Cabinet, the key is sure to be hovering nearby. Listen for the playful little fluttering noise indicating the key is nearby. If you spot a key, it will lead you directly to the cabinet location. Here's where you can find them:

How to open Daedalian Key Cabinets in Hogwarts Legacy
Once you find the key and locate the proper cabinet for it, you'll need to figure out how to get the key into the lock. These pesky keys don't like doing what they're told, so you'll have to use a bit of force. Watch carefully as the key flies around the keyhole. As soon as the key crosses lines up with the hole, smack it with A or X. If you timed it correctly, the key will unlock the cabinet and reveal a House Crest. If not, the key will take a moment to regain its composure, and you can try again.
How to open your House Chest in Hogwarts Legacy
Once you have collected House Tokens, you can return to your common room and locate your House Chest. When you approach it, you'll have the option to place down the Tokens you have. Placing all 16 of them will open it up and reward you with a unique House Uniform fitting to your specific house.
