While you won\u2019t be able to meet Ron, Harry, or Hermione as the game is set in the 1800s, you will still be able to go on adventures, attend classes, fly on your broomstick, and interact with fantastic magical creatures. With Beast taming, you can save and tame magical creatures and gain specific magical materials. You can also breed them to increase their population. So, how do you unlock and use the Breeding Pen in Hogwarts Legacy? How to unlock and use the Breeding Pen in Hogwarts Legacy Unlocking the Breeding Pen in Hogwarts Legacy isn\u2019t straightforward. When you check your conjuring recipes, it states you can buy the recipe from Tomes and Scrolls, a bookshop in Hogsmeade. However, you can\u2019t buy it immediately as it\u2019s tied to a quest. So, you must complete the two side quests from Deek, the house elf in the Room of Requirement: Plight of the House Elf and Charles Rockwood\u2019s Trial. You must also complete the main quest\u2014The Elf, The Nab-Sack, and the Loom\u2014to unlock the Nab-Sack to capture beasts. When you\u2019ve finished those quests, Deek will ask you to go to him to learn more about breeding, which leads to the next quest, Foal of the Dead.\u00a0 You will get a map, and Deek will ask you to buy a Breeding Pen from Tomes and Scrolls and capture a female and male Thestral. So, stealthily capture the Thestrals and head to the bookshop to purchase the Breeding Pen, which costs 1,000 Galleons. When you return to the Room of Requirement and talk to Deek, a cutscene will play, and you will unlock a Vivariuim. From here, you\u2019ll need to enter it and complete the following: Build the Breeding Pen; it will cost fifteen Moonstones.Place your Thestrals into the Vivarium.Select the Thestrals as the species you\u2019d like to breed using the sign outside of the Breeding Pen.\u00a0And wait for the breeding process to finish, which takes around thirty minutes.\u00a0Groom and feed your Thestral offspring.Speak to Deek and complete the quest.\u00a0 Once you\u2019ve completed this quest, you can use the Breeding Pen to obtain another offspring as long as you have a male and female from the same species.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/08192019\/Thestrals.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/796652"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2158"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=796652"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/796652\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":796697,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/796652\/revisions\/796697"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/795000"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=796652"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=796652"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=796652"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=796652"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=796652"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=796652"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=796652"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
