Harry Potter fans playing Hogwarts Legacy are looking for all the movie and book references they can find. One notable apparition that many are trying to figure out is the basilisk, the tall creature that’s supposed to roam the halls of Hogwarts since Slytherin founder Salazar Slytherin was in school. For a handful of players, they can find a reference to this creature and the movie. This is what you need to know to find the Basilisk Easter Egg in Hogwarts Legacy.
Where to find Basilisk in Hogwarts Legacy
While playing the game, a handful of players discovered that the Basilisk appears in Hogwarts Legacy. He’s not in a boss battle or a named spawn, but he appears occasionally in what appears to be the Slytherin common room. Because it appears in the Slytherin common room, the Easter egg is restricted to Slytherin players.

This discovery was shared by Twitter user CastielJA, who shared a video of them walking through the Slytherin common room at night. When they turned to the right, they saw a huge snake moving through the hallways and disappearing from view.
So far, how this event is triggered remains a mystery. What lines up so far is that a player must choose Slytherin house and be in the Slytherin common room overnight. As you walk through the common room, look to the right and see if the basilisk spawns.
It is the only documented sample of the legendary creature. Hogwarts Legacy players and the community are trying to figure out how to replicate this. For now, this is a rare Easter egg, and we’ll update this guide when we learn more concrete details about how this Easter egg is properly triggered. This might have to do with the appearance of the Chamber of Secrets bathroom which you can find by visiting the girls’ bathroom on the second floor near the Lower Grand Staircase Floo Flame fast travel location.
