The Ghost of Our Love is a secondary quest in Hogwarts Legacy requiring one to find a mysterious location using a treasure map called “Map with Floating Candles”. The quest is pretty straightforward since you do not have to fight any enemies or solve puzzles.
However, the map only provides vague instructions, so you need to use your knowledge and skills to decode the correct location. The Hogwarts Legacy Ghost of our Love quest is unique as the initiating point of the quest depends on the Sorting Hat ceremony.
How to start Ghost Of Our Love quest
After completing the main quest “Trials of Merlin”, you will be assigned a House-specific quest through a letter. Once the quest is completed, you will meet Richard Jackdaw and acquire the “Map with Floating Candles.”

Ghost of Our Love walkthrough
Understand the Hogwarts Legacy Map with Floating Candles
The map will show four different things, which indicate the steps required to solve the Hogwarts Legacy Map with Floating Candles puzzle. The forest with a moon indicates that you need to visit the Forbidden Forest during night time. The bridge and wand indicate where you need to be to use your Lumos spell to make the Floating Candles appear.
Wait until its night time before heading to the Forbidden Forest
You cannot attempt this quest in the daytime, so go to your map section and change your time to night time. This makes sense as the candles cannot be used during the daytime. Open your map and locate the teleportation location nearest to the Forbidden Forest.
Use the Hogwarts Legacy Floo Flames Location to fast travel to the Forbidden Forest entrance. Head southwest toward the stone bridge and cast the spell Lumos to spawn the floating candles.
Follow the Floating Candles
Just follow the candles until you reach a point where a table for two is set, giving a very romantic feeling due to the inclusion of candles. Wait for a few seconds, and multiple floating candles surround you, and a chest will appear on your right.
Hogwarts Legacy Ghost of Our Love quest rewards you with 400 coins, a gear piece, and 180 XP upon completion.
