In Hogwarts Legacy, if you want to add bars to your Ancient Magic meter so you can use more Instant Ancient Magic kills in battle, you need to reach certain Ancient Magic Hotspots and find Traces of Ancient Magic. Finding all Ancient Magic Traces in an Ancient Magic Hotspot contributes to the “Collect Ancient Magic Traces” Exploration Challenge, and each stage of this challenge rewards you with an additional Ancient Magic Meter Bar. However, collecting all traces of ancient magic in a hotspot isn’t always that easy, and one of the trickiest hotspots is near Brocburrow in the Hogwarts Valley area. The old magic hotspot of Brocburrow is located in the woods south of the village, near two spider dens and a kneazle den. In fact, you’ll have to go through these spider lairs to get all traces of ancient magic.

The first trace of ancient magic is marked on your minimap, south of Kneazle Den and north of the two Spider Lairs.

The second Trace of Ancient Magic is south of the first. You will need to use Incendio or Confringo to get through the large spider web blocking the way.

The third Ancient Magic trail is east of the second and is guarded by spiders. Remember that the fire spells Incendio and Confringo are very effective against spiders, and you can use Descendo to bury a spider matriarch’s head in the ground.

The fourth Ancient Magic Trace is on the top floor of a large building north of the third Ancient Magic Trace. Use the box outside the southwest corner of the building to climb up, then head east along the roof and crouch through the hole in the wall to get the Path of Ancient Magic.
