How to unlock the Finishing Touches achievement trophy in Hogwarts Legacy

Hogwarts Legacy has players roaming a world filled with enemies, from dark wizards to dangerous magical beasts. Players aiming to complete 100 percent of the game and unlock all of the achievements or trophies must do battle with a whole lot of them.

One particular achievement/trophy is Finishing Touches, which requires players to use Ancient Magic on every enemy in the game. There are 69 enemies in Hogwarts Legacy, but thankfully fewer than half count towards Finishing Touches.

There are a total of 34 enemies in Hogwarts Legacy that must be hit with Ancient Magic in order to unlock the achievement or trophy. This doesn’t include any story bosses or one-off enemies, and only means those encountered in open play.

The enemy doesn’t need to be killed with Ancient Magic to count towards Finishing Touches, they must simply be hit with it. Players may first want to complete some of the Ancient Magic Hotspots scattered around the map, after which the size of the Ancient Magic metre can be increased.

Players will also benefit from unlocking the two Battle Arenas – in North Ford Bog and Feldcroft – as many different enemy types spawn there. To unlock the arenas, players must use basic cast on 20 vases scattered around the ruins to gain access.

Here is the full list of enemies that must be hit with Ancient Magic for the Finishing Touches achievement/trophy and where they can be found:
