There are many great monsters that you can encounter at Hogwarts Legacy. Most of the time they will simply run away and when you try to catch them. However, one creature is more deadly. Here’s our Hogwarts Legacy Graphorn guide to help you get this animal as a carrier, as well as pick up additional animals if needed.
Mount Gravorn in the San Baker trial
To be clear, the Graphorn is currently the only ground vehicle in Hogwarts Legacy. It will not become available until you complete the San Bakar trial, which is one of the last few missions in the game. As such, you only need to move forward with the campaign until it becomes available.
Once you start it, you will be taken to Cragcroft Shore, which is located in the southern half of the world map. Use Incendio or Confringo on the vines to reveal the Graphorn carving. From there, you are tasked with capturing the Graphorn. Her lair is located on the Klagmar coast, at the southeastern end of the map. You can use a broom or flying mount to get to the site faster.
The Hogwarts Legacy Graphorn is different from most of the other Fantastic Beasts you’ve seen before because it’s a boss encounter. It has very basic attacks: it simply charges and hits you. But, she also has tough skin that can take a lot of damage. Aside from your old magic and your old magic throw, only red spells (such as Expelliarmus, Incendio, Confringo, and Bombarda) will be able to deplete their health.
Focus on fighting and dodging when necessary. Once you take it out, a short cutscene will play and you’ll have a choice:
- Kneel – show the creature that you are not a threat.
- Attack – Subdue the creature with your power.
Either way, your character will be riding the Gravhorn. You will be able to use her ability for special charging. You can activate this by holding down the attack button. You will sweep away the enemies, as well as push them through the barricades. However, her stamina would quickly deplete.
In any case, follow the waypoints on your minimap and travel all the way back to the trial grounds. Talk to the Keepers to finish the San Bakar Trial quest at Hogwarts Legacy.
Can you capture and tame a Graphorn while exploring?
Yes, it is possible to capture and tame a Graphorn in Hogwarts Legacy even if you are free roaming. However, you still need to complete the San Bakar Trial.
Once you do that, head back to the Graphorn den in the southeast corner of the map. You still need to fight off the creature waiting for you here and the same mechanics apply (eg, only red spells and ancient magic will deal damage).
After defeating Graphorn, you can throw a tusk bag to return the animal to your tank. In this way, you can have many Graphorns in your sanctuary. Don’t forget to raise and feed them so you can get the Graphorn Horn material.
