Shell – Metallic

Where to Find the Shell – Grey Wand Handle

A lot of wand handles are like all the other gear in Hogwarts Legacy; players have to find them randomly from chests scattered throughout the game. The Shell – Metallic Wand Handle is one of these handles where you have to acquire it from a random drop.

The most effective way to find wand handles normally is to check for chests on the mini-map while exploring. Cast Revelio whenever a chest is around to make them glow blue through walls. If the chest is hidden, either solve the puzzle or open the locked door through the Alohamora mini-game. As you progress in the game, you will be able to open more doors and chests, giving you more chances for wand handles.

How to Get a Specific Wand Handle

Players that know exactly what wand handle they want and don’t want to wait, can farm for wand handles. There are some chests in the game that only drop wand handles, and they can be exploited by using save files. Essentially, you make a save right outside the unopened chest and reload the save after opening it until the wand handle you want is obtained. You can try it at any chest you find that drops a wand handle.

There is one chest in Hogwarts Castle that players can access immediately to farm wand handles. Follow these instructions to locate it:

1. Fast travel to the Clock Tower Courtyard, Floo Flame.
2. Immediately turn around and go out the door by the floo flame.
3. Cross the small bridge heading into the main part of the castle and take a right once inside.
4. Go down the hall, up a set of stairs, and you will see a frog statue at the base of a circular stair set.
5. Select the frog statue, and you will be teleported to a room which has a chest inside with a wand handle.
6. Make a save at the chest before opening it, and reload after opening it until you receive the desired wand handle.
