A player has discovered a glitch in Hogwarts Legacy that enables Deek the house-elf to don a suit of armor. Created by Avalanche Software, Hogwarts Legacy offers players the opportunity to attend classes in the renowned school of Witchcraft and Wizardry through an expansive open-world game, set a century before Harry Potter's time. As players explore, they may come across amusing bugs such as this one.
Since its launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S earlier this year, Hogwarts Legacy has become the top-selling game of 2023. Despite facing strong competition from Tears of the Kingdom, Warner Bros' published game has seen increased sales with the availability of versions for PS4 and Xbox One, and the development of a Switch port. Consequently, enthusiasts of the Wizarding World can anticipate their own magical education at Hogwarts in the near future.
One Reddit user has shared a fascinating glitch involving Deek, the Hogwarts house-elf. User ysaribidotexe posted a screenshot showing Deek wearing armor and assisting the player in customizing their Room of Requirement. Deek is depicted with a cheerful expression, accompanied by the caption "Deek loves an outing."
The comment has elicited amusing responses, focusing on the idea of clothing Deek and granting him freedom. Sadly, Deek's newfound attire is a glitch, and he cannot don armor during normal gameplay. Nevertheless, fans still enjoy treating the diminutive helper, as evidenced by one player who dedicated a section of the Room of Requirement to Deek, though they have yet to witness the house-elf actually residing there.
In addition to being a top-selling game this year, Avalanche's open-world RPG has received a positive score of 84 on Metacritic. To encourage more players to explore the vast Wizarding World, Sony has confirmed that a demo of Hogwarts Legacy is now available to PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers. This demo allows players to experience the first 45 minutes of the game, which covers the introduction and events leading up to entering Hogwarts Castle, although it doesn't provide enough time for players to be sorted into their respective houses.
Meanwhile, Avalanche Software is actively working on resolving bugs, including the issue of Deek glitching his way inside a suit of armor. The latest patch for Hogwarts Legacy has just been released, bringing various stability improvements and gameplay fixes to the game.
Hogwarts Legacy is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, with a Nintendo Switch port set for release on November 14.
