He will take the main character to Gringotts bank to open up Vault 12 with a mysterious key.

How to Run in Hogwarts Legacy

To get around a little bit faster around Hogwarts,Hogwarts Legacyplayers can sprint by pressing L3, which is the left control stick on any gaming controller. By clicking into the stick, players can run –and there doesn’t seem to be any limit on how long players can run, as long as they aren’t in the middle of an important conversation or event that prevents sprinting.

This will work for both PlayStation and Xbox gamers, as both controllers have a proper left stick that’s clickable. The same goes for those playingHogwarts Legacyon the Nintendo Switchonce that version is available later this year.
