Hogwarts Legacy: How to access the Dark Arts Battle Arena

The Dark Arts Battle Arena is perhaps the most action-packed place in Hogwarts Legacy. By accessing this deadly battleground, you’ll get to compete in all kinds of combat challenges and even use the Unforgiving Curses. Here’s exactly how to unlock the arena in Avalanche Software’s game.

There’s a lot to do in Hogwarts Legacy’s open world including taming beasts, learning new spells, and discovering familiar locations. If you’re particularly itching for some action-packed battles, however, The Dark Arts Battle Arena is the best place to go.

In this location players can test their skills and prove their magical prowess by engaging in various combat challenges against waves of deadly AI enemies. Only the strongest witches and wizards can survive the battles in the arena, and many players will want to see if they’re up to the challenge.

How to unlock The Dark Arts Battle Arena for Hogwarts Legacy 

The Dark Arts Battle Arena features some action-packed fights.

The only way players can get the arena is to purchase either the Hogwarts Legacy Deluxe Edition or the Collector’s Edition. Both editions come bundled with the Dark Arts Pack, which includes the following in-game goodies: 

• Thestral Mount 
• Dark Arts Cosmetic Set 
• Dark Arts Battle Arena 
• Dark Arts Garrison Hat

This will likely come as disappointing news for those who had hoped to unlock the arena in-game without parting with any money. So, if you wish to take on waves of enemies and test your magical might, then you’ll need to be prepared to spend a little extra. 

So, there you have it, that’s everything you need to know about unlocking The Dark Arts Battle Arena in Hogwarts Legacy.
