Uncover the Mysteries of Hogwarts Legacy: Unlock Every Balloon Location!

In Hogwarts Legacy, scattered throughout the map are Balloons, a type of challenge that players need to locate and destroy while flying on a Broom.

By completing a specific number of Balloons challenges, players can unlock a new Broom Appearance in the game. This new appearance does not grant any special effects or additional abilities, but rather offers a different style for the Broom. It's worth noting that any upgrades or enhancements to the Broom are obtained through a separate quest. In total, there are 32 Balloons challenges waiting to be conquered in Hogwarts Legacy.

Updated on August 30, 2023, by Nahda Nabiilah: Brooms play a vital role in transportation within Hogwarts Legacy. Besides aiding in travel and exploration, Broomsticks offer additional advantages for Students, such as assisting them in completing various challenges. One example is the Balloon-popping mission, where successful completion requires the summoning of a Broom and maneuvering through clusters of balloons to burst them. Acquiring Broomsticks in Hogwarts Legacy is relatively straightforward, as they are part of the Main Quest. Furthermore, the game introduces a wide variety of Brooms, each with its own unique style, which can be obtained by conquering several Balloon challenges or purchasing them from vendors.
