Hogwarts Legacy: Hippogriff Marks the Spot quest guide
Henrietta’s Hideaway is a location you’ll be visiting more than once, but you'll need to go back with Henrietta's Map for the Hippogriff Marks the Spot quest in Hogwarts Legacy. There are multiple quests to be solved in this area, including Find Rococo, Solved by the Bell, an Astronomy Table, an Infamous Foe, and this quest, Hippogriff Marks the Spot.
You’ll start in an entirely unrelated location, and even when you’re in the right place, the answer isn’t clear. For everything you need to solve Henrietta’s Map, follow our instructions below.
If you want to catch or breed a Hippogriff, make sure to read our beast locations guide.

How to find Henrietta’s Map – Hogwarts Legacy
Henrietta's Map looks cryptic at first glance.
The first thing we need to do is start the quest. You can begin this quest at Poidsear Castle – it’s a map sitting on a desk in a tent near the back of the castle. The Side Quest icon should be hovering over it to draw your attention.
Hogwarts Legacy: Henrietta’s Map solution
You'll need to head to Henrietta's Hideaway, as shown in the Hogwarts Legacy map above.
Once we have Henrietta's Map, we need to solve it. First is quite obviously a literal map, with an X marking the spot, and an illustration of where we need to go. It is Henrietta’s Map, so it makes sense that this quest would take place in Henrietta’s Hideaway to the South of Manor Cape.
There’s also a Hippogriff surrounded by flames, with a flame and ice icon near them. The flame obviously indicates the use of your fire spells, and the ice icon hints at using Glacius.
Hippogriff Marks the Spot solution
Henrietta's Hideaway hides a short dungeon on the edge of a cliff.
Next, you need to enter Henrietta’s Hideaway. Once you arrive at the castle you’ll find a dungeon entrance down to the right side of the ruin.
Inside there’s a quick and easy puzzle involving fire and ice spell blocks. As the main door opens, you will come face to face with a Hippogriff statue surrounded by burning braziers.
You will need to extinguish all the braziers before lighting only selection ones.
First, you will need to extinguish the flames around the Hippogriff. Next, you will need to light only the braziers indicated by Henrietta’s Map. These are as follows, assuming you are facing the front of the Hippogriff statue:
- Rear of the Hippogriff
- Left of the Hippogriff
- Right of the Hippogriff
- Right front side of the Hippogriff

Once those braziers are lit, a wall will open up at the back, revealing a chest with an item inside.
Hippogriff Marks the Spot rewards
The reward is a little bit underwhelming. All that for some gloves!
For your efforts, you will receive Treasure-Seekers Gloves as an appearance option. Nice if you’re after the Treasure-Seekers appearance set, I guess.
