Students of Hogwarts get to run into various creatures in Hogwarts Legacy and tame them. Once tamed, the creature can be placed in a Vivarium, which has limited spots.
At some point down the line, you’ll run out of spots or hit the species limit, which will prevent you from adding more creatures to your collection. So how do you increase the limit of the Vivarium?
How do you increase the species limit in Hogwarts Legacy?
Players can’t increase the species limit on the Vivarium in Hogwarts Legacy. If you need more room to store creatures, you’ll need to unlock additional Vivariums.
Players can own a total of four Vivariums in Hogwarts Legacy, each capable of housing 12 creatures from different species.
How to unlock more Vivariums in Hogwarts
Unlocking Vivariums is the only way to have a higher species limit and overall more slots to house creatures in Hogwarts Legacy. While the story will lead you to your first Vivarium, players will need to complete the following side quests to unlock the other three Vivariums:
- Default Vivarium
- Becomes available after completing the “The Elf, the Nab-sack, and the Loon” quest.
- Swamp Vivarium
- Becomes available after completing the “Foal of the Dead” side quest.
- Grassland Meadow Vivarium
- Becomes available after completing the “Phoenix Rising” side quest.
- Coastal/Beach Vivarium
- Becomes available after completing “The Plight of the House-Elf” side quest.
You can have up to four different species in a Vivarium. For example, if you have a Phoenix, Niffler, Fwooper, and a Puffskein, you’d only be able to fill the remaining spaces with more of what is already in the Vivarium.
If you have over-stuffed your Vivarium with four different species and want to place a different species in it, you can sell species at Brood and Peck to make room. Breeding is one of the core parts of the game, and if it happens to find its way to future Legacy storylines, the devs may decide to add more slots for convenience.
