There are plenty of beasts to track and capture with your Nab-Sack in Hogwarts Legacy. One of the many creatures you can find in the Wizarding World is Thestrals; bony horse-like beasts that can only be seen by those who have seen death. These animals are not easy to locate and are even more difficult to catch. You need to be prepared if you plan to hunt them down. This guide will show you where to find Thestrals in Hogwarts Legacy.
Thestral locations in Hogwarts Legacy
Thestrals are one of the few mounts you can get in the game. You can get one as a pre-order bonus, but if you want more you’ll have to find them in the highlands. There are only two Thestral Dens in the game; one to the north and the other to the south. The easier of the two to reach is along the northern edge of the map. You can easily reach the hideout by traveling north from the East North Ford Bog Floo Flame fast travel point.

The second from Thestral Dens is in the southernmost part of the map called Marunweem Lake. You can reach this area through the Goblin Camp which leads to the coast of Poidsear. This Thestral Den is on the eastern side of the region in the mountains overlooking the lake. There are also a few campsites, caves, and astronomy tables to find during your stay.

How to catch a Thestral in Hogwarts Legacy

Thestrals aren’t the easiest creatures to catch and require a bit of skill with magic. First of all, the Thestrals are not tied to the time of day, so you can find them at any time. When you arrive at the Thestral Den, use the Disillusion spell to hide and prevent the Thestrals from escaping. If the Thestrals are running, you’ll have a hard time catching up to them because they’re as fast as hippogryphs. Once you’re near a Thestral, use a spell like Momentum Arrest to stop it, then use your Nab-Sack to trap it. Levioso is another good spell to use.
