In Hogwarts Legacy, the Vivarium is a unique location within the Room of Requirement that functions as a sanctuary for the magical beasts that you find. Although it's mainly for the purpose of taming the magical creatures that you capture, you can head to the Vivarium to unwind and relax amidst nature.
The Vivarium in Hogwarts Legacy boasts four different biomes: Dark, Grass, Coast, and Mountain. Interestingly, each of these areas has three chests scattered across the map. By opening these chests, you can obtain collectible items such as Wand Handles, Conjurations, and more. This article will tell you the locations of all 12 of these hidden chests in the Vivarium and how to reach them.
Locations of all 12 collectible chests in the Vivarium of Hogwarts Legacy
The first thing you must do to gain access to all 12 chests is unlock all four biomes inside the Vivarium, which can be accomplished by finishing Deek's sidequests.
To get to the Vivarium in Hogwarts Legacy, you will have to go to the Room of Requirement first. This can be easily accessed by going to your list of Floo Flames locations.
The following sections deal with each specific biome, where you can find the chests within them, and how to get to them.
Grass Biome
The Grass Biome is right in front of you as you enter the Vivarium through Hogwarts Legacy's Room of Requirement.
Chest #1
Head north immediately after entering this biome.You will find the first box after you have crossed two elevation levels in this general direction.
Chest #2
Go back to where you started in this biome and then head southwards towards the trail beside the big rock. Follow this trail to the end and jump onto the area below it to find the second Vivarium chest in Hogwarts Legacy.
Chest #3
Drop further down from where you found the second chest, and you will find a cave to your left. Inside this cave, you'll find the third Vivarium chest.
Dark Biome
After going up the staircase to the left, take a right and head up once again to find the entry to the Dark Biome. The Vivarium chests numbered four to six can be found here.
Chest #4
You have to take a U-turn as soon as you enter the dark biome and head towards the light. Once you reach there, climb up the ledge on that piece of land to find the first chest.
Chest #5
Head back to the entry point and stand with your back to the gate, you will see a large piece of rock with a light to the west. You have to climb this rock and go to the end, where you'll find a tree trunk with some light. Here, you'll find the second Dark biome chest.
Chest #6
Compared to other chests, the final chest in the Dark biome is further away. You must first turn eastwards and jump onto the adjacent island. From here, turn north and head straight until you reach a mound. Climb onto it to reach a cave, where you'll have to first use Confringo to break a cobweb and then use Revelio to clear the fog. You will find the sixth Vivarium chest in Hogwarts Legacy inside this cave.
Coast Biome
The Coast Biome can be accessed in Hogwarts Legacy by going up the stairs on the right side of the Vivarium as you enter it.
Chest #7
Enter the Coast Biome and head left (northwards) until you reach the first ledge. After climbing up onto it, head straight and then take the first right to find the seventh Vivarium chest.
Chest #8
After collecting the first box in this biome, take a U-turn onto the beach and head eastwards towards the water. Across the water, you'll spot a rocky island. On it, you will see the elevation that's shown in the picture above. Climb up onto this island to locate the eighth Vivarium chest in Hogwarts Legacy.
Chest #9

Chest #12
Exit the same arch that you entered through and head northwards towards the abandoned building. You must enter the building and go through its two entrances on the right. At this point, you may have to use some fire spells to break through the cobwebs. You can find the final Vivarium chest in Hogwarts Legacy here.
