One of the 10 tiers of collectibles for Hogwarts Legacy's infamous Collection, is none other than Traits. Traits in Hogwarts Legacy are effectively perks you can add to your gear to buff various spells and tools. Whether you want to buff Bombarda with the Explosive trait, or buff the damage that a Mandrake deals with Deafening, there's something for everyone.
There are 25 Traits in Hogwarts Legacy, with each one having 3 levels (1 being the lowest and 3 being the highest), meaning there are 75 traits in all to collect.
Now, there are 3 ways to get Traits in Hogwarts Legacy: you'll receive 1 from a quest; 24 can be unlocked from completing Challenges; and a whopping 50 can be found at chests in Bandit Camps (from small camps to bandit castles). The loot, however, is random. At every Bandit Camp you're guaranteed a Trait, but not a specific one, so unfortunately we can't tell you where a specific one will spawn as that's impossible.
What we can tell you is where to find all 50 chests and how you unlock all the challenge and quest related ones. The below has loose descriptions on where to find the chest, but if you're looking for maps of where each one is exactly, consult our Hogwarts Legacy All Highlands Collectible guide where we breakdown what you can find in each region and where to find it exactly.
