Certain locations in Hogwarts Legacy such as the one-eyed witch passageway within Hogwarts castle can be challenging to locate. The “Dissending for Sweets” mission guides players into the castle’s lower levels, and successfully completing it rewards players with a container of Fizzing Whizz-beer.
For those having difficulty locating the one-eyed witch statue, here’s a detailed guide.
How to locate the One-Eyed Witch passage in Hogwarts Legacy
To discover the one-eyed witch statue after initiating the quest with Garreth Weasley, players must navigate through the Reception Hall toward the Grand Staircase. At the Grand Staircase, look for a hallway opening on the left side where the witch statue stands.
- Initially, proceed through the entrance positioned to the right of Garreth Weasley. This entrance leads to the Reception Hall.
- After entering, you’ll notice a staircase on your right ascending to the Grand Staircase. Take this path.
- The one-eyed witch statue is situated in a corridor connecting to the Grand Staircase, along the left wall.
- Players must then interact with the statue to reveal the concealed passage.
Remember to utilize your Quest and Hud tracking features for precise navigation to the target location.
Accessing the One-Eyed Witch statue using Floo Flame

If you’re beginning this quest later after receiving it, the most efficient route to the One-Eyed Witch passage is via Floo Flame. Simply follow these steps:
- Transport yourself to the Grand Staircase Floo Flame.
- Ascend the stairs until you reach the first corridor opening on your right.
Upon finding the one-eyed witch, you’ll need to employ Reparo to repair a damaged elevator before descending deeper into the hidden area. Next, you’ll encounter an unreachable steep rock face. Use Levioso on a nearby platform and utilize the levitated floorboard to climb the ledge.
Though Floo Flames offer quick travel options, this subterranean route provides an authentic Hogwarts roleplay experience. This passage creates a direct connection between Hogwarts Castle and Hogsmeade. You’ll emerge in Honeydukes’ basement, experiencing the same thrill as Harry Potter when he used this secret route.
Following this, players can freely explore the underground section beneath Hogwarts Castle, choosing to either collect Garreth Weasley’s requested items or search for additional treasures.
Players should note that various hostile creatures (mainly spiders) inhabit numerous underground areas.
