The rewards from the chests have an interesting mechanic. Your level in the game will affect the items you get from chests. The higher your level, the better items you get.

Should You Wait to Open Chests in Hogwarts Legacy?

You will get better rewards from chests as you get higher levels in the game. However, you will face difficulty in your present levels without any items from the existing chests.

Most players wait to open the chests, but they forget that the game has many such locked rewards waiting further in the storyline. As you progress through the story, you will notice many chests hidden behind locked doors.

In our opinion, it’s best to open the chests as you come across them. The developers have thought about the loot and reward system, and they have designed the game according to it. So you can open the chests without worrying about being devoid of the strong loot or items.

If you are hellbent on getting the strongest items, you can wait to reach the maximum level and then open the chests.
