Hogwarts Legacy Diricawlare one of the tricker magical beasts to locate in the Highlands, but you need to find one in order to complete Professor Howin’s first extracurricular beast assignment. If you complete this you’ll getBombarda—a very good damagespellthat’s effectively an explodier version of Confringo.
For those just starting out at Hogwarts, you might want to knowhow to get a broomfor easier exploration, or how to open those mysteriouspuzzle doors. Either way, here’s where to find the Hogwarts Legacy Diricawl creature so you can finish the first step of Howin’s assignment, or just sell them for some extra gold.
Hogwarts Legacy Diricawl location
The easiest Diricawl location to find is the den south of Hogwarts and Lower Hogsfield. The best way to get there is to fast travel to theKeenbridge Floo Flamethen head north-west up onto the hill with the castle ruins. You’ll find the den, though be wary of Inferni that spawn nearby. Make sure you have a fire spell equipped to deal with them quickly.
Since Diricawl can appear and disappear quickly so as to escape from you, the best way to catch one is to useLeviosato hold them in place, orArresto MomentumorGlaciusto stop them moving for a while. Once they are slowed or stopped you can use theNab-Sackthat Deek gave you to capture one and complete that step of Professor Howin’s beast assignment. Now you just need to find aGiant Purple Toadand you can get the Bombarda spell.
There are other Diricawl dens in the south of the map near Maruweem Lake and the Poidsear Coast, but the only way to access those regions is to travel through the goblin-infested Coastal Cavern in the South-Sea Bog area. Unless you need a whole lot of Diricawls, capturing them from the nest near Keenbridge is a far better option.
