Hogwarts Legacyplayers have discovered a lovely little secret in the game’s open world that’ll make soulslike players swoon.
As a huge fan of soulslike, specifically theFromSoftwarevariety, I’m always on the lookout for a new game to play that pulls inspiration fromDark Souls,Elden Ring, and other challenging titles.
Speaking of Elden Ring, please join me in rewatching theElden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtreegameplay trailer below
It also means I’m always on the lookout for references and Easter Eggs paying homage to the unforgiving RPGs, one of which can be found inThe Witcher 3, specifically one of the DLC expansions.

NowHogwarts Legacyplayers think they’ve found a very obvious reference to FromSoftware’s games out in the open world.
I’m sure anyone who’s even played the first five minutes of a Dark Souls game can tell me what this is referencing, in fact a Freddo for whoever shouts it out first.
That’s right it’s none other than the famous bonfires scattered through the game, checkpoints and places of rest for weary travellers who’ve just seen unspeakable horrors, and gearing themselves up to see some more.

The makeshift bonfire joins a variety of secrets and references hidden in the game, many of which allude to in-universe developments fans of the Harry Potter books and films will instantly recognize.
Maybe ifDark Souls 4ever rolls around we’ll see the team at FromSoftware return the favour, maybe a talking wizard hat that acts as one of the game’s NPCs?
