Hogwarts Legacy Floating Candles: How to get the Ghost of our Love quest

The floating candle map will be given to you in four different ways depending on which Hogwarts house you pick, but all four ways are during the main story.

If you’re a Gryffindor, after you speak to Sir Patrick Delaney-Poddmore in The Hunt for the Missing Pages, the map is in the crypt next to the ghost.

For Slytherins, during the Scrope’s Last Hope quest, you’ll head to the cave under Hogwarts. Once there, place an offering on the stand and it’ll open a hidden piece of the cave, you can get the map here.

As a Hufflepuff, when you get The Prisoner of Love quest, head to behind the shop in Upper Hogsfield to find the map there.

And as a Ravenclaw, it’s in the Owlery during the Ollivander’s Last  Heirloom quest.

If you’ve already played the quest as one of the houses and would like to see how it plays out when you’re in another house, you can follow our guide on how to choose your Hogwarts house. 

It’s worth noting that your rewards won’t change, so if you’re not too bothered about seeing the other cutscenes, you won’t miss anything.
