How To Get (& Use) Rowland’s Map In Hogwarts Legacy

A missing character named Rowland can be tracked down through his map in Hogwarts Legacy, but you might struggle to get this item or use it. This worn piece of paper only shows a couple of confusing landmarks that don’t really connect to your map in any meaningful way. While there are areas in the Highlands region that you could recognize on the map, there are far easier methods of tracking down the missing wizard’s location.

This quest in Hogwarts Legacy revolves around Adelaide Oakes, as the lost Rowland is her uncle and becomes available when you speak to Adelaide in the Transfiguration Courtyard. The quest marker that appears next leads you toward Rowland’s old campsite northwest of Hogwarts, which has now become a home for goblin enemies. You can either defeat the occupying goblins or sneak past them, finding the map under a lantern in one of the smaller tents.

How To Read Rowland’s Map in Hogwarts Legacy

A red line on the map shows the direction Rowland was heading, down the west river toward the Korrow Ruins Floo Flame. Unfortunately, this area has many dangers through the Bandit Camp Castle that guard the entrance to the ruins, so you will have to use the Disillusionment Charm or fight your way inside. However, broomsticks in Hogwarts Legacy make it very easy to fly down the river to this spot and attract less attention from potential enemies than a flying mount would.

However, Adelaide’s uncle does have his wand confiscated by the goblin. Simply lighting a fire under an upstairs boiler with Incendio or Confringo unlocks a section deeper within the Ruins where Rowland and his wand are located. A secondary item in this quest, Rowland’s wand rests on a table in a room to the right past the larger metal door that can be opened by alighting the boiler. If players have difficulty finding the wand or want a visual guide to this can quest, can use ConCon’s video below:

The final stage of this quest involves freeing Rowland from his goblin-induced imprisonment by delivering his wand in Hogwarts Legacy back to him. Past the hallway with orange and purple sphinx banners, there are more enemies here that you have to defeat. Finally, at the far end of the hall, Rowland may be heard through the large bronze door at the end, ending the quest that started when you get his map and use it to track down the stray spell caster in Hogwarts Legacy.
