How To Start A Thief in The Night in Hogwarts Legacy¶

After you’ve completed the Main Story Quest “The High Keep” you’ll be able to speak with Pádraic Haggarty who can be found in Irondale which is located in the Feldcroft Region. Here you’ll find out that someone has come into Irondale and stole items and Pádraic seems to think it was his sister that got into working with the wrong people such as Victor Rookwood.

Where To Find The Thief in Hogwarts Legacy¶

Once your conversation with Pádraic has come to a close you’ll need to come back at night in order to have a chance of catching sight of the thief. If it’s still midday for you, then forward the time to night by opening up the map and pressing . You’ll now want to equip and use Revelio to reveal some gold on the floor near the stall that the thief seemed to have dropped.

(1 of 3) Follow the Trail of Gold

You’ll now need to repeatedly use Revelio to keep the gold highlighted, then follow the trail until you reach a Niffler Den. Here you’ll need to catch The Irondale Pilferer, so equip Levioso and the Nab-Sack, then use Levioso on the Niffler to slow it down, then quickly use the Nab-Sack to capture it. Now you’ll want to return to Pádraic in Irondale and inform him that the thief isn’t his sister to bring the quest to a close.
