How to Unlock and Find All Battle Arenas

In Hogwarts Legacy, there are a total of 3 Battle Arenas you will be able to discover. These will provide more practice for the students that will want to sharpen their combat skills. These are the East North Ford Battle Arena, the Ironwood Battle Arena, and the Dark Arts Battle Arena.

To unlock the one at East North Ford, you will have to unlock the ability to explore outside the Hogwarts Castle Grounds. Once there, you will have to destroy 20 pots in order to reveal the statue for the Battle Arena. Use Revelio if you are having a hard time finding them.

For the Ironwood Battle Arena, you need to have first travel to Ironwood and talked to Althea Twiddle. She will direct you to a “suspicious statue” and once you are there, again, destroy 20 pots to reveal it.

Finally, the Dark Arts Battle Arena is only available for those who purchased the Deluxe or Collector’s edition of the game. Head to the Forbidden Forest, to the East North Hogwarts Region Floo Flame location, and you will see the Battle Arena statue nearby. You will have to defeat two dark wizards and then break 10 pots, effectively unlocking the Battle Arena.

But yes, you will explore it in complete disregard of the warnings. Anyway, good luck with the Arenas!
