How To Catch A Unicorn In Hogwarts Legacy

In Hogwarts Legacy, it is entirely possible to catch a Unicorn. You just need to know where to look and how to do it. The first thing is that players will need to acquire the Nab-Sack. The Nab-Sack is the key essential item to capturing a Unicorn, and without it, there is no point in trying. To get the Nab-Sack, just continue with the main story of the game until you get it.

Once you have it and have the ability to capture magical creatures, you will need to go around the Southeast ends of the Forbidden Forest. There, you will find a Unicorn Den. You will then need to use the Nab-Sack in conjunction with a lot of levitation and floating spells, like Accio. Use levitation spells and the Nab-Sack until you have captured the Unicorn. Do not let it run away as it becomes much harder to catch once the Unicorn is aware of you.
