Summary
- Dragons make rare, surprise appearances in the world of Hogwarts Legacy.
- A recent Reddit post showcased a player's unexpected encounter with a dragon.
A Hogwarts Legacy player recently encountered a large dragon while exploring the game's expansive world. Approaching its second anniversary, Hogwarts Legacy achieved remarkable success as the best-selling new video game of 2023, captivating Harry Potter fans with its detailed recreation of Hogwarts and its surroundings, including Hogsmeade and the Forbidden Forest.
While not central to the Harry Potter franchise, dragons do feature in Hogwarts Legacy, albeit sparingly. One questline involves freeing a dragon from poachers, and there's a brief encounter near the end of the main story. Beyond these instances, dragon sightings are exceptionally rare.
While I wouldn't claim Hogwarts Legacy deserved Game of the Year, its rich content makes its lack of 2023 award nominations surprising. It delivered the immersive Wizarding World experience many fans longed for, offering a wealth of Harry Potter-esque activities. The stunning environments, engaging story, extensive accessibility options, and fantastic music all contributed to a truly enjoyable experience. While not perfect, its omission from the awards seems unjust.
Dragons can unexpectedly appear in *Hogwarts Legacy*, though these encounters are infrequent. A Reddit user, Thin-Coyote-551, shared images of a dragon attacking a Dugbog they were fighting. The post included screenshots showing the dragon swooping down and tossing the Dugbog. Many commenters expressed surprise, stating they'd never encountered a random dragon despite extensive playtime.Hogwarts Legacy Player Encounters a Dragon While Exploring
While a thrilling experience, many players believe the ability to fight these rare dragons would enhance the game. The Reddit user reported the encounter near Keenbridge, south of Hogwarts Valley, suggesting these appearances might occur anywhere outside the castle, Hogsmeade, and the Forbidden Forest. The trigger for the dragon's appearance remains unknown, though some jokingly speculate it might be related to the player's dragon-skin coat.
Warner Bros. has confirmed a Hogwarts Legacy sequel is in development, potentially connecting to the new Harry Potter TV series. Whether this sequel will feature more prominent dragon encounters, allowing players to battle or even ride them, remains to be seen. However, the sequel is still several years away, and details are currently scarce.
