All 16 Daedalian Keys (House Tokens) — castle-wing locations

Side quest 'The Daedalian Keys'. 16 keys hidden across the castle as house tokens. Wing-by-wing breakdown with HarryNinetyFour's video cued up.

“HarryNinetyFour's full Daedalian Keys / House Tokens guide — chaptered by castle wing: The Library Annex, The Great Hall, The Grand Staircase, The South Wing (the longest section, biggest cluster), The Astronomy Wing, The Bell Tower Wing, and the Quest Reward. Northern English commentary, every armour stand shown.”

All 16 Daedalian Keys / House Tokens

The Daedalian Keys is a side quest in Hogwarts Castle. 16 flying keys hover beside enchanted suits of armour scattered across the wings. Catch one and chase it — it leads you to the suit, which then reveals a House Token. Get all 16 House Tokens for the side quest reward (gear + cosmetics).

How catching works

  1. Spot a flying key — they cluster near armour stands, usually flapping in place.
  2. Approach until the prompt appears, then sprint after it.
  3. The key leads you straight to its assigned suit of armour. Interact with the armour.
  4. The armour opens to reveal a House Token — that's the collectible.

Where to find them — by castle wing

  • The Library Annex
  • The Great Hall area
  • The Grand Staircase
  • The South Wing (highest concentration)

Quest reward

Return to the suit of armour quest-giver in the Hogwarts entrance hall after collecting all 16 — drops the House Token gear set + cosmetics.

Tips

  • Run, don't walk — keys can outpace you if you stroll.
  • Some keys are inside locked rooms — Alohomora 1 is enough for all of them.
  • The Bell Tower Wing keys are vertically distributed — check upper balconies.

If stuck: the embedded HarryNinetyFour clip is chaptered by castle wing — jump to the wing you're in. He shows the exact armour stand for each key.
