A broom is a vital tool in Hogwart’s Legacy. It makes it easy to fly around Hogwarts and gives players a thrill as they soar the skies over the vast countryside.

However, you only get a broom after you complete the main story quest, ‘Jackdaw’s Rest.’ This is during your second day at Hogwarts, and right after, you’ll receive the quest ‘Flying Class.’ 

This quest will take you to the flying class lawn in the Bell Tower Wings of Hogwarts. While there, you’ll get a flying lesson from Madam Kogawa and a tour of the castle by air if you accept Everett Clopton’s offer. However, accepting this offer gets some points deducted from your house, but we promise the view is entirely worth it.

Once you arrive at the shop, meet the shopkeeper, Albie Weekes, and he’ll explain to you that the shop had been shut until recently when it reopened. This explains why you couldn’t get a broomstick before. However, you’re here now and can buy your first broomstick. 

The brooms in Hogwarts Legacy aren’t expensive, and you can pay 600 coins for your first broom. However, there are varieties available from vendors outside Hogsmeade. Although the other options are fancier, they’re also quite expensive. To stock up on cash, loot chests, bags, and pots while exploring the world. You can also sell unwanted gear to vendors to get some coins.

While you now have a broomstick, flying it is more complicated. Players have to complete the Fight Test quest before they can start flying with their broom.

To complete this task, head back to the school after purchasing the broom and then go to the Quidditch pitch to speak to Imelda Rayes. Right after the conversation, she’ll challenge you to beat her high score in a race around the castle.

This agility trial’ll require players to fly through yellow speed bubbles that’ll make them go faster while swooping through the hoops as quickly as possible.

If you miss any hoop, some seconds will be added to your time as a penalty. Although the first Flight Test mission isn’t too difficult, it gets trickier with further attempts.

After the mission, you can fly whenever you’re outside by using L1 to bring up your gear menu and pressing the Circle or B to jump on the broom.
