Exploring the expansive world of Hogwarts Legacy often leads players to intriguing mysteries and hidden treasure hunts. Among the most popular secrets is the Ghost of Our Love quest, which centers around a enigmatic map depicting floating candles near a forest entrance. Solving this puzzle requires a clear understanding of where to pick up the map and how to trigger the glowing candles.

How to Obtain the Map Based on Your House

The initial location where you collect the treasure map depends entirely on which Hogwarts house you selected at the start of the game. Gryffindor students find it in the Hogsmeade graveyard during the main story, while Slytherin players locate it inside Apollonia's secret grotto beneath the castle. Ravenclaw players must climb to the top of the Owlery, whereas Hufflepuff students can uncover the map inside a chest in Upper Hogsfield.

Starting the Journey at the Forbidden Forest Bridge

Once you have secured the map, fast travel to the Forbidden Forest Floo Flame waypoint located just north of Hogwarts Castle. Head directly west toward the nearby stone bridge that crosses the river leading toward the treeline. This bridge acts as the official starting point where the floating candles will eventually appear.

Triggering the Floating Candles at Night

To make the floating candles appear, you must ensure that the game time is set to night. If you arrive during the day, simply open your map menu and use the wait function to advance the time immediately. Once night falls, stand on the stone bridge and cast the Lumos spell to summon three glowing candles into the air.

Following the Candle Path to the Hidden Treasure

After casting Lumos, the floating candles will begin moving gently along the main trail into the Forbidden Forest. Follow them closely as they pass through a wooden archway and head up a small incline. The candles will lead you directly to a cozy romantic table setup, where a chest will spawn containing valuable gear and galleons.
