Eager players can head to the Forbidden Forest within Hogwarts to face off against various aggressive spiders. Defeating these enemies has an appreciable chance to drop the Spider Fang as loot, which players can collect for further use.

Additionally, progressing through the main story quest, “Shadow of the Mountain'' will also have players face off against these arachnids alongside Ranrok’s allies. Remember to loot the spiders after you defeat them to grab the Fangs.

Spider Fangs can also be directly purchased from J. Pippin’s Potions shop within Hogsmeade for 50 Coins each.


What is Spider Fang used for?

Spider Fang is used to brew the Maxima Potion in Hogwarts Legacy. This particular combat potion requires thirty seconds to prepare and will boost your spell’s damage output for a brief period of time, making it a handy item to have at all times.

Maxima Potion also requires Leech Juice (obtainable by exploring the wild near water bodies) to craft it at a suitable station - either within the Room of Requirement or in your Class.

The recipe requires a one-time purchase from J. Pippin’s Potions shop for 500 Coins.


How many potions are there in Hogwarts Legacy?

A total of seven potions have been discovered in Hogwarts Legacy so far, with one being confirmed to be a PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 pre-order exclusive.
