Secondly, in Hogwarts Legacy, you must complete The High Keep main quest to unlock and fly on Hippogriff and Thestral Mount. The mission is very engaging, full of Hogwarts Legacy Lore and useful loot for players to collect. The quest requirements are:

  • Complete Professor Garlick’s Assignment I mission
  • Unlock Wingardium Leviosa Spell

During The High Keep main quest, you need to help Natty investigate a case of beast poaching at the ruins of a castle.

How to fly on the Thestral Mount

When you arrive at Folbarton Castle, you learn that poachers captured two Hippogriffs, Highwing and Onyx. Ensure you check all the chests and side rooms during the quest. If you want to speed the quest up, you can use the Disillusionment spell to sneak your way to the end. You’ll eventually start a cutscene with Highwing the Hippogriff and unlock the new mounts!

Now, all you need to do is go to your gear inventory, and on the right, in the mounts slot, you should be able to pick your new Thestral! Flying Mounts can travel on the ground and fly.

If you pre-ordered the game, you also unlock Onyx Hippogriff.
