What Factors into Missing Side Quests?

Whilst Side Quests do not vanish for good, these will temporarily be inaccessible to players. The reasons Side Quests can disappear is because of factors such as the season change. Some Side Quests only appear for specific seasons. Once the season turns over, the Side Quest will vanish, making it impossible for you to visit at a later point. Because of this, the Side Quests are everchanging, moving alone with the school year as the seasons pass. Their accessibility are timed based on the season. So keep your eye out for anything new on the map that you may not have noticed before. These are likely only available for a limited amount of time.

If you want to complete the game in its entirety throughout your playthrough of the base game only, you should pay close attention to the Side Quests available. That way by the time you complete Hogwarts Legacy, there will be no Side Quests left to complete.

Do Side Quests Return?

Whilst Side Quests in Hogwarts Legacy can become inaccessible due to their time on the map running out. Players will be able to visit them later on. It just will not be within the base game. Instead players will have to complete the entire game, finishing all Main Questlines and getting the ending. Before they are able to visit the remaining Side Quests on the map. Upon completing the game, the previous factors such as the weather will no longer affect the accessibility of the Quest. Meaning players can go ahead and finish all Side Quests they may have missed within their initial playthrough of Hogwarts Legacy.
