The Room of Requirement is your fully customizable base of operations in Hogwarts Legacy. Here you brew potions, grow plants and take care of your magical beasts. However, Hogwarts Legacy throws a bunch of these at you at once, so it can be confusing as to what to do here. Read on to learn everything you can do in your Room of Requirement.
When do you unlock the Room of Requirement in Hogwarts Legacy?
After completing the main story quest The Room of Requirement, you will unlock the Room of Requirement that you can use, as well as a Flea Flame in the Secret Rooms section of the Hogwarts map.

You will learn the Summoning Charm and Evanesco during the main story quest “The Room of Requirement” and the Alteration Charm during the following side quest “Interior Decoration”.
Summoning Spell – Allows you to place items in the Room of Requirement. Alteration Spell – Changes an item’s appearance or alignment when cast in the Room of Requirement. The Alteration Spell can also be applied to anything from ceiling to floor. Evanesco – Removes items from the Room of Requirement while returning some Moonstone
To use the spells, press “T” (on PC) or right on the D-Pad (on consoles) and equip them on your hotbar. These spells can only be used in the Room of Requirement, so make sure you turn them off when you exit.
How to expand the Room of Requirement in Hogwarts Legacy?
Without the Vivarium Extensions, the Room of Requirement can be expanded twice, giving you more space to place stations, furniture and decorations. You can customize the look of the room by changing the look of the ceiling, walls, and floor. To do this, you must complete two quests:
After completing the Interior Decoration quest, another section of the Room of Requirement will open. After completing the main story quest The Final Repository, the room from the Interior Decorating quest gets even bigger. This is how you unlock more decorations for your Room of Requirement

You may find that many decorations are unavailable when you first unlock the Room of Requirement. To get more decorations, you can find them in random chests around the world or get them after completing certain quests.
