In Hogwarts Legacy, armor traits are one of many ways to make your character stronger and better in the fight, but finding all traits’ locations is time-consuming. Let’s take a look.
This guide will help you easily find all armor traits to prepare your character for more challenging fights. We included a complete list of all available traits and some tricks you can perform to get the trait you need.
All Hogwarts Legacy Traits
All armor traits can be obtained through in-game challenges or Bandit camps spread on the world map. There are 75 locations, and some may be challenging because multiple powerful enemies guard them. Also, don’t worry if you have already completed the main story quest. After that, you can still collect items, complete challenges, and do side quests. As a result, nothing in Hogwarts Legacy is lost or missable. It’s a reasonable idea to complete the main story and do all side quests later.
What are Gear Traits
Armor and gear traits are bonuses, and players can apply them to their gear after unlocking the Loom in the Room of Requirement during The Elf, The Nab-Sack, and the Loom Quest. However, you can start collecting the gear traits early in the game as soon as you gain access to the world map and complete introduction quests.
You can track your progress in acquiring any item in the collection menu and combat challenges menu to check what activities you need to do to get the next trait. Also, after completing the challenge associated with traits, you need to claim your reward.
Quest Reward traits
Only one trait is unlocked during the introduction to gear upgrades and trait bonuses. Follow the quest tasks to unlock it.
- Scorching I (Increased damage with Incendio)
- Unlocked automatically during The Elf, The Nab-Sack, and the Loom Quest

Traits from Chests in Bandit Camps
In Hogwarts Legacy, Traits also can be found in the bandit camps locations. Each Bandit camp has at least one chest that randomly drops one trait. You never know what trait you’ll receive next, so acquiring the exact trait you need for your character’s build may be tricky.
Bandit camps are marked with the tent icon on the map. When you loot a chest that contains a trait from a specific location, the bandit camp icon on the map will have a golden check mark next to it, and you won’t get any more traits from it. As a result, it may take a lot of time to defeat all enemies guarding bandit camps and loot the chest to get the trait you need.
Save and Load the game method.
To help our luck in gaining desired traits, you can save the game just before you open the chest. Nextly, loot the chest, and if you won’t receive any good traits, load the saved game and open the chest again. This is a tested method, and each time traits you’ll receive will be random.
The following list has all gear traits from bandit camps. Remember that each of those locations has enemies who guard the chest. Two of many solutions to that issue may be to use the Disillusionment spell and sneak into the camp to open the chest quietly. Also, you can kill enemies with the Petrificus Totalus spell while sneaking from behind or facing bandits in an open fight.
