A lot of times in Hogwarts Legacy when you choose a fight, you choose a fight with a particular type of enemy, usually because that enemy drops a specific crafting material that you need for some reason. But there are also objectives that require you to damage enemies in a particular way, but don’t specify what type of enemy. So you end up walking around with the intention of completing the objective the next time you encounter an enemy.

When you do this, you are guaranteed not to collide with enemies for a long time. Indeed, as open-world RPG environments go, Hogwarts Legacy is quite safe, especially in the area immediately surrounding Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Occasionally you’ll encounter monsters and roaming bandits, but if you’re looking to find relatively weak groups of enemies, it’s usually best to head towards them rather than waiting for them to come your way.
Where to fight enemies in Hogwarts Legacy
One option is of course to do a dungeon quest of some kind, as these are usually populated with a lot of enemies. But most dungeon quests are main story quests and are often level locked, so that’s not always an option. Luckily, there are other places where you can reliably find high concentrations of enemies.

The best place to find and fight enemies is Bandit Camps. These are marked on the map with tent icons, and the more tents there are, the more enemies you will find there. These enemies are usually Ashwinders or Poachers, but are sometimes loyal Goblins.

Groups of poachers can also sometimes be found in animal burrows, which are marked with claw icons on the map.

Loyal goblin enemies can be found roaming in small groups in areas away from (mostly) human settlements. But to find a large number of loyal goblin enemies, you need to find one of their camps. These are marked with the same icon as the other camps, but are usually found in mountainous mining areas. For example, there is one near the northeast edge of the map between North Ford Bog and Upper Hogsfield.

Poisonous Spider and Thornback enemies can, unsurprisingly, be found in Spider Lairs. These are marked on the map by triangular cobweb icons, and there are many in and around the Forbidden Forest.
