The dragon can also be seen kidnapping a cow from a random farm

[@YetiLyfChill]

I've seen it take the cow from the farm

[@icygos64]

I tried to kill it

[@CBEAST088]

Yes! I thought I was under attack like in Skyrim

[@jordykins_8913]

I saw it grab a sheep in keenbridge once

[@McPringle_garcia]

​@@icygos64 same. I thought it was coming straight for me and I like quick dove and everything 😂😂

[@kaicluster6783]

Saw a dragon, but it wasn't over the lake. It came down, snatched a cow and flew off.

[@russellsimmons3265]

Saw that exact thing

[@atrudokht]

As for me, it always flew across the lake while taking a drink. Never saw it snatching a cow before

[@PenguinNinja45]

Same I got into Skyrim mode thought it was fight time

[@Christopher040601]

I saw the cow snatching also

[@swakobrothought7864]

Same i saw that too

[@AdrianoAdrianza]

2 students getting kicked out of the trick store in Hogsmead for stealing firecrackers... it's hilarious 😂

[@Renslayer13]

Saw this 😅

[@Some-Orange57]

Seen it 😂 today.

[@Dogs4_life]

I saw it too 😂

[@tyster2108]

Saw this last week

[@Dumbslay3r]

[@CoffeeBrainzz]

Saw 2 Hippogriffs flying with their 2 little offspring! I was able to fly with them it was awesome 🥰

[@leafandbranch]

WHAAAT

[@TheTrueLikeButton]

​@@leafandbranch you can see them if you look towards the forbidden forest on your way to hogsmeade the first time

[@jacksonpablodiasdeoliveira9215]

@@TheTrueLikeButton I think he meant in a different occasion

[@ParthPatel2207]

I saw a Hippogriff carrying a fish over the Hogwarts Lake. Too bad the unmodded game has flying height limit, I couldn’t keep following it.

[@rossmathias5675]

❤❤

[@irishladdie1500]

When the squid pipped out of the lake I hit it with a few spells. Then I got that alert when you enter combat. I actually thought I was about to fight the squid. Then a dugbog charged at me

[@-AphroditeCabin-]

this made me laugh-

[@-flowerbloom9305]

Lmaoo it got you 😂

[@tubebammy]

*Sitting over the lake* "Ahhh nothing like enjoying fresh air and a cool breeze from the la----" *giant fuckin squid pops out the water and a fire breathing dragon flies past you* "....... that's enough nature for the rest of the year"

[@nosirGutz]

I like all the little details with the students using their magic, like floating and walking on the walls.

[@BiggEasterEggs]

Yeah it really helps to make Hogwarts feel alive!

[@steakslapn9724]

A herd of centaurs galloping through the forbidden Forrest.

[@BiggEasterEggs]

You can fight with them too! Dark Wizards don’t stand a chance.

[@melissastruxness512]

Have seen lots of centaurs. Usually alone

[@adiranelson2503]

Yeah and they fight the poachers I've helped them many times

[@firstdegreesports5120]

I saw that too I helped them fight dark wizards lol them centaurs are gangsta

[@WhoCares-ty7jo]

3 out of them yay

[@matthewbennett5872]

In the night, I saw 2 ghosts dancing together on the lake

[@jonasfermefors]

And then there is the ball in the ghosts room in the cellars.

[@-flowerbloom9305]

​@@jonasfermeforsno way

[@jonasfermefors]

@@-flowerbloom9305 It's 100% true but if i remember correctly it's only there if your're in Gryffindor and have seen the headless hunt in the graveyard.

[@jonasfermefors]

@@-flowerbloom9305 I've played through for every house and each house gets a few special things that you only see for that house.. and the different missions to help you find the missing pages.

[@kio9992]

Not as rare of a chance but....there is a pair of sets of Armour in Hogwarts in a hallway somewhere. You'll pass them a couple times and one will whistle while the other acts annoyed and nudges him to stop whistling. Eventually you'll pass by them and there's a chance you will see the annoyed one finally snap and murder the other Armour set for whistling too much.

[@rofellos8379]

Seen this a couple times makes me laugh everytime

[@fredflintstone5356]

I seen that too. Happened around the 4th or 5th time I walked passed them. Hasn’t happened a second time though and I would say I ran past them at least 20 times as I didn’t bother to use fast travel around Hogwarts just in case I came across another collectible.

[@MoonIronTR]

There is tons of events in hogwarts like parents shouting with howlers or some students bullying another and prof black talking to them etc

[@masonhoward7826]

Everyone knew this day one lol

[@icefarrow7959]

Oh, lol, I just walked straight past those two all the time, and was wondering why one time I walked in to find a destroyed armour set on the floor.

[@darthcaro]

i witnessed nearly headless nick trying to convince scrope to polish his statue 😂

[@abiramilo344]

Saw the same thing😂😂😂

[@justinharvey7398]

Nick has a statue??? Where? Is it in the Gryffindor common room?

[@melissastruxness512]

Saw that. Go up the stairs in faculty tower after doing Moon’s quest in the night time that happens everytime I go up there at night

[@elifdurmus8243]

me, too!

[@firstdegreesports5120]

Sameeee 😂

[@antonioalderuccio2535]

Perhaps not that rare, but I saw a howler scolding a student at Hogwarts 🙂

[@kuda999]

Is it the one howler with mum telling off their child about talking to muggle born students lol

[@kevinmcclintock8553]

Saw that it was in the transfiguration courtyard 🤣

[@27sspider27]

I saw one in the school yelling at the student about stealing from thier parents

[@DAB1991]

I've been burning those howlers 😂

[@reptongeek]

​@@kuda999 I confess I don't like that one. I mean what if the muggle born was their only friend

[@johndiaz4574]

I was flying somewhere south of Lower Hogsmeade Valley when on the mountains I found a caravan with a dead woman and a note talking about her getting Dragon Pox and was getting away from people to not infect them and also trying to create a cure.

[@BiggEasterEggs]

Nice 👌🏻

[@isaacsoto2061]

I found it but it was a man.

[@orion5914]

Has anyone seen the student in Hogsmead chasing a Diricawl and then getting chewed out by his dad? I saw that after I just caught a Diricawl myself and I laughed for like 5 minutes x,D

[@isaacsoto2061]

Yes, and he also told me off because I was staring to close of them 😅😅😅

[@sabrinashitpost]

Yes! It triggers when you cut through one of the alleyways next to brood and peck.

[@KxNOxUTA]

Yes, itvwas so funny 😂

[@jdwylde7]

It’s not really a tiny chance for me. Maybe mines different. Almost every time I fly over the lake he pops out. Plus he comes out during the opening missions as well.

[@toimun]

Never seen it before, weird

[@jdwylde7]

@@toimun even the opening mission for the broom? There’s a voice line for that part too. He comes out of the water and reaches up towards you.

[@glittergamer765]

​@@jdwylde7 I got that line! But I haven't seen the kraken since

[@austin18]

Over 70hrs and I've only seen the squid during the Broome mission.. seen the dragon dip in the lake for water and seen a hippogryph catch a fish..

[@jdwylde7]

@@austin18 it really does differ a lot. I fly over the lake every now and then just to do it. I’ve seen the squid maybe 4 times.

[@josiahkruse1180]

Every now and then, Hippogriffs will fly down to catch fish from the lake or streams and then fly away. I’ve seen Thestrals fly overhead at night time too

[@SourxStacksz_]

Damn I’m sorry for your lost bro

[@MoistDelta.]

Never seen the thestrals but I have seen the hippogriffs. Can't wait till I encounter them!

Imagine going to hogwarts and u just see a fully armoured knight flying next to u 😂

[@Someone21348]

I remember I was doing the quest where you have to get the thing in the lake for the girl (I don’t remember her name), and all of a sudden the dragon came down and ate something in the water. I legit though I was just seeing things

[@BambiBryant]

I kept the necklace thinking I could wear it, but I can’t! I was evil for no reason 😭

[@zobiwan7232]

I had the same happen to me with getting the mermaid necklace 😂

​@@BambiBryant you literally had a necklace as a gift though 😂 even if you give it to her 😂

[@EDarien]

Just finished a quest with Natty, we're flying, and see the Hogwarts Express. Quest ends and we separate. Next thing I know, I see a dragon flying up from behind me right into the lake like that! Crazy.

[@IDrawToothpicks]

That part was awesome

[@slayerman517]

That dragon scared the hella outa me cuz I just heard it’s grunt while I was just hovering above admiring Hogwarts and I panicked so hard I ended up going in circles mid air until I finally remembered I can land in Hogwarts

[@Elionai413]

I heard that in Slytherin common room you can see the basilisk go by randomly. It's when exploring the Slytherin common room before attempting to climb a set of stairs that cannot be accessed. However, before throwing the player back down to the bottom as normal, an enormous snake could be seen slithering past the top of the staircase.

[@TheTrueLikeButton]

This was debunked its literally an untextured kraken tentacle

[@austinsmith6786]

Its a glitch of the squid

[@nemesisstars1527]

That has to be rare because I haven’t seen it yet

[@KxNOxUTA]

It's a giant squid clipping through as confirmed officially but it's quite funny that it would even be there, swimming to clip through that wall at all 😅

[@Danielslo]

today i encouterd a group of student fighting and then the headmaster came. this had never happen to me before.

[@a1pha_star]

I see that scarf, my fellow Ravenclaw. 🦅💙

[@hammondeggs3382]

giant squid will show its full self in the Slytherin common room... after I beat the game, I blasted the window, and next thing I knew I see this big head and giant eye swim by the window, it's body and tentacles following after, so big and so long... I'm sure it was the entire squid body!

[@massiecure8422]

before the squid i actually expected us the main character to see the mermaids first

[@P.Whitestrake]

LMAO! I encountered the giant squid in the lake during my first day there. I was exploring & I tried to swim in the lake for the sake of exploring the realm. Then WHAM! Giant tentacles came out of the lake about 5 feet from where I was swimming! I was like, "HOLY SHIT! HELL NAH!" I turned around to the shore instantly.

[@kitarrah1422]

🤣 I don't blame you. Did you scream? I would have.

[@danvilela]

And then my boy wants to swim there to help some people. Everything for the missions lol

[@andresvelez8191]

U can take out the broom while ur in the water

[@kaiismith9361]

@@andresvelez8191 depends if they’ve unlocked the broom yet. I went for a swim through the lake before I got the broom

[@politicallyincorrectpanda]

The first 2 days in are tutorials so I doubt you exploring that early it won’t it physically let you go anywhere!

[@hashbrownthegreat]

The dragon can also just pick up sheep off fields

[@koltonhall2074]

I found a snowman that does the “come at me bro” movement. So when I went up to him and hit him with basic attacks, he would throw a snowball at me. I ended up burning it to the ground. Idk if it’s a rare event but it was funny

[@KxNOxUTA]

You can also turn animals into objects with the transformation spell ;)

[@Luhkinski87]

The express to Hogwarts runs once every 24 minutes of the day in the game, 12 minutes night, 12 minutes day. The train passes normally during the day, it is not by chance and you do not have to be close to any of the events for them to activate. these occur even if you are not around. The dragon, for example, is the only one that appears near your position regardless of where you are, it can drink water from the lakes and take a cow or sheep to feed itself.

[@cloudyman04]

A day is 48 minutes in hogwarts legacy but the thing with the train appearing once every 24 mins could be true i know it happens every day

[@mathewc8621]

I saw the squid during my first broom lesson it was amazing

[@footwithuke]

ME TOO

[@abiean222]

i think its coded to appear at that time.

[@MoistDelta.]

That's part of the mission

[@timetraveler9218]

Uhm there is literally a quest involving a dragon

@@timetraveler9218 according to? I’ve been a part of the HL community for almost 3 years now. Literally taking in every detail. Ranrok is shown to be the main and first villain you encounter.

[@nicholasslepnikoff9771]

I saw the squid when doing the initial broom lap. Probably one of the coolest things ever and gave me the chills 😃

[@Red-st6hw]

I encountered the kraken and I “mounted” the dragon on the same day! 😁

[@Michealphilp]

I have Seen an even more rare thing, I remember once I went to the Slytherin common room at night and I shot the window and the whole body of da squid swam past. It had one eye. Now that's some rare stuff

[@johankhamaruddin3775]

With the squid being a thing it couldve deffinitely changed goblet of fire

[@DodgeBearUK]

So rare that the Hogwarts express happens once every 24hr in game. The squid sighting in the lake every 48-72 hours. Dragon never saw once during the 100 hours I played.

[@DarkMartianFighter]

You can also see the basilisk slithering in one of the staircases

[@TheTrueLikeButton]

False thats been debunked its an untexted tentacle

[@KxNOxUTA]

It's confirmed to be the giant squid clipping through the wall

[@math9172]

What I love most about Zoe Morgan being back in this episode, is how she wasn't only here as a "tool" : If you remember in her episode of introduction she told John she became a fixer because of someone who made reporters go away from their home, and that she wanted to be like that. And in this episode we got it tied back as she lets the POI of this episode enjoy his life and privacy by making the reporters go away. As for Root... Well she seems quite mysterious doesn't she :)

[@herm712]

I love how much detail went into this game. I'd seen the Hogwarts Express and the dragon, but it wasn't until my second playthrough that I finally saw the giant squid in the lake. I haven't seen the squid in the common room yet. I'll have to look out for it.

[@BiggEasterEggs]

Thanks for all your suggestions, part 2 is now live with even more rare encounters! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHnZnaxvhcqsitU

[@UrFriendlyNeighborhoodBassist-]

One I noticed is if you walk past the floor flame duding the restricted section quest in the library, she said “I shall pretend I cannot see you” or smth like that. To my knowledge it only works during that quest.

[@jwright1560]

saw the dragon twice, first time it swooped down and i almost missed it, but i could have sworn it was flying away with a sheep

[@loganlauer9760]

I’ve seen these events happen so much never knew they were rare

[@katarmy1351]

I saw the hogwarts express coming back from saving highwing with natty, it was so beautiful to see at night ❤

[@AS--999]

Came to say this too (I tried to land my hypogriff on it) . I thought it was scripted in that part of the game but maybe that's a rate event too?

[@melissastruxness512]

That is a set thing though. Everyone sees that

[@aliffmustafa967]

Saw the dragon once when i'm hunting giant toads.

[@SeoniKauna]

I love the little details this game has, these encounters are so cool

[@SirFoxbutt]

I've seen two instances of that dragon, and heard of a third. I've seen it swoop down over the lake, and I've also seen it swoop down and steal a cow (just to the east of where the cave is that seperates the top and bottom halves of the world map), but I've heard someone say that also saw it once on a pumpkin farm, smashing pumpkins. Never seen clips of that one or seen it myself, so don't know if it's true or even where the location is, but with two existing dragon events, it's not impossible that there's more.

[@bakedwithrealchez]

I saw the dragon fly over the lake as the giant squid was popping up. Shit was dope

[@HURRIC4NEyt]

I see the kraken thing in the lake often lol its so cool

[@XxLukeNukemxX]

That dragon appears just about anywhere actually he flew right up next to me just mountain exploring one time.

[@attilafekete7892]

How does this game prevent you from leaving the boundary? Like what happens if you follow the train?

[@MrHalahalaho]

There is like a shimmering wall you cannot cross

[@SizemoreMusic]

You can also see the Kraken’s entire body at some point when it swims by the window in the distance. Don’t actually know if anyone else has caught that one yet. I saw it after shooting the window repeatedly but that may have been a coincidence. But it DOES happen.

[@kitarrah1422]

Cool! I'll have to keep an eye out. I wish we could see the merfolk and grindylows.

[@theschnitzllover8274]

I saw the Kraken swim by at night

Definitely seen the train a lot. Happens once per day.

[@Healzmon]

The Kraken is so cool, I was lucky to be flying through when it popped out. It was pretty epic I gotta say. They did such a nice job on the details of this game.

[@japes7]

That squid in the common freaks me out!

[@scraperindustry]

I saw several: one is two headless ghosts playing with their heads in Hogsmeade cemetery, a floating student whose classmates leave him until the next day, and Nearly Headless Nick pestering Scrope to clean his statue. I also got to see the squid on the lake

[@dantiao]

Can I use your video clip in my video? It's so cool!

[@xmant8842]

I encountered all 3 of these on my first playthrough. I didn't realize they were kind of rare encounters

[@mindtreat]

I saw a griffin dive down and pick up a fish from the lake.

[@jessicuh292]

Had the Squid one early in the game as i was flying over the lake. Nearly shat myself - thought it was going to drag me under.

[@707ridah]

Thanks something to look out for

[@infinitera7286]

Thanks bro my 4 yr old been tryna see the dragon. Now i know its possible to see it

[@reptongeek]

Another super rare event. Seeing a Venemous Ambusher. I had encountered every enemy in the game except this one and needed to encounter it for my Collections. I had to do three Battle Arenas to get one - and thankfully it WAS just only three

[@brycehumphrey3975]

I've only seen the kraken so far I'll have to keep my eyes out for the rest

[@imaginary728]

I've seen all of the above. Super proud of that

[@pixywings]

I have seen all three of these. The squid randomly sticks up tentacles. I think the train goes by Hogsmead Station once every in-game day. The dragon can show up in random places. For me It just flew overhead on my first mission outside the castle to meet Natty in Lower Hogsfield.

[@snusemcgoose1001]

I've seen the squid a bunch of times but I've never seen that dragon or the Hogwarts Express and I've almost beat the game, this game is incredible man

[@davido.1233]

While cycling through videos a while ago, I saw a random clip of the dragon plopping down and grabbing a sheep from a field.

[@dkainsworld]

I’ve spotted the dragon only once entering the back end of the map once you get through that goblin tunnel

[@melissastruxness512]

The dragon I have seen both places and the Loch Ness in the lake

[@mrbrady1981]

I also caught a owl a jabbernoel and a hippogrifff flying around at night that was pretty cool

[@randyjax09]

Two other things I’ve seen are a group of thestrals flying around the castle, and hippogriffs swooping down to catch fish near that little village along the river south of Hogwarts.

[@SirFoxbutt]

I've also seen a Hippogriff and a Jobberknoll playing in the air before, flying around in circles chasing eachother. They weren't highlightable or interactable at all, they were sort of like part of the enviroment, which was what initally tipped me off to the fact I was watching some kind of event.

[@douvaman]

there’s also the basilisk in slytherin common room

[@BiggEasterEggs]

I’m not convinced this one is real yet, haven’t been able to encounter it myself

[@douvaman]

[@crayoneater-_-001]

I'm pretty sure there's a 100% chance to see the giant squid over the lake during your first flying lesson

[@ThePeanut999]

I saw the train towards the beginning of the game and I saw the dragon fly right past me on my way back from one of the mines in the main story. I use floo flames sometimes but flying is just so esthetically pleasing.

[@Azulapus]

That fkn dragon scared the piss outa me when I was flying from hogwarts to hogsmead. I heard a 'woosh, woosh' *ROAR*. And everytime I see the dragon on the map I get immediate ptsd lmao

[@BiggEasterEggs]

Lots of stories like this! That's why I love these encounters

[@hazelkatz]

I saw the dragon near the little Dumbledore grave island at the very beginning while I was taking screenshots with the highland cattle, and all of a sudden a roar blasts above my head and I raised the head and saw it fly over me 😮got the shivers ❤

[@LOSTmyHOST]

Slytherin have another rare event: The Basilisk, you can see it only if you are a boy.

[@TheTrueLikeButton]

That was debunked its literally one of the untextured tentacles from the kraken

[@BjornLeifrDagr]

I saw the dragon at the large bandit keep in the bottom left of the map near feldcroft. I thought it was going to be a boss battle in that area and was kinda disappointed when that never came to pass.

[@thejonbrownshow8470]

As a guy whose only experience with Harry Potter is call me kevin's videos, I'd love to see that dragon get grabbed by that kraken lol

[@sarahruss5556]

I was flying over the lake when the sea monster scared the crap outta me lol

[@MrPsychopathYT]

You can also run into 2 armor stands fighting each other in one of the halls, saw it on KZbin but still yet to see it on my own
