Hogwarts Legacy is full of strange and magical objects, and that includes its chests. Many chests open easily, but some — the ones with the huge eyeballs on them — are on the lookout for would-be looters, and won’t open without a special trick. In this guide, we’ll show you how to get the tricky eye chests open, list their rewards, and explain how to unlock the required spell.
How to Open Eye Chests
The chests are on the look out for people trying to open them — you can tell the chest can see you when it’s eye is open (1) . Getting too close while the eye is open will cause the chest to seal itself, indicated by the eye being half-closed (2).

To prevent this, cast the Disillusionment charm, and the eye will close. Once it’s closed, you can simply walk up to the chest and press /to loot it — there’s no need to try to sneak up behind it, or approach from the side.
How to Acquire the Disillusionment Charm
Of course, you can’t do any of that if you haven’t learned how to cast Disillusionment. This spell is unlocked as part of the main quest, so you’ll have to complete all of the following quests in order to access it:
Once you’ve acquired the spell, you can equip it by pressing to open your Spells menu. Then, put your cursor over Disillusionment, hold , and then press whatever face button you want to assign the spell to. You can then cast the spell by holding and pressing the button it’s assigned to.
Rewards
All the Disillusionment Chests give the exact same reward: 500 Galleons. Not bad for a single spell cast!
