Quick Answer
If your real goal is unlocking Alohomora III, you do not need to start by clearing all 33 Demiguise Moons. The better route is to reach The Caretaker's Lunar Lament, collect the easiest next batch for Gladwin Moon, unlock Alohomora II, then use that access to finish the second delivery for Alohomora III. Full cleanup becomes much less wasteful after that.
PowerPyx’s Demiguise route confirms that the game has 33 total Demiguise statues. The main quest gives you the first 3 automatically, and the remaining spread is broadly 10 in Hogwarts, 9 in Hogsmeade, and 11 in the Highlands. They also only become interactable at night, so daytime route checks can be misleading.
Quick Steps
- Progress until
The Caretaker's Lunar Lamentand take the first 3 story statues. - Sweep the easiest
Hogsmeade + Hogwarts Level 1 lockpath first and finish the next9. - Turn in to Gladwin Moon and unlock
Alohomora II. - Use the new lock level to finish the next
13from remaining school and nearby Highlands routes. - Only after
Alohomora IIIshould you treat the rest as full collectible cleanup.
Fastest Alohomora III Route
| Stage | What to do first | Target count | Why this is faster |
|---|---|---|---|
| Story gate | Finish The Caretaker's Lunar Lament | First 3 automatic | The route does not exist before this |
| First collection loop | Hogsmeade and easy Hogwarts night pickups | Next 9 | Unlocking level 2 first makes everything after it cleaner |
| First return | Turn in to Gladwin Moon | Unlock Alohomora II | This opens more statue paths immediately |
| Second collection loop | Remaining school path + nearby Highlands hamlets | Next 13 | This is the main push to Alohomora III |
| Post-level-3 cleanup | Sweep the remaining 8 and other lock-gated loot | Full completion | Backtracking value is much higher now |
Which Areas to Prioritize
| Area type | Priority | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Hogsmeade | High | Dense route, low travel time, great for the first batch |
| Hogwarts school interiors | High | Many pickups naturally chain with classes and side content |
| Nearby Highlands hamlets | Medium | Better as part of the second 13-statue push |
| Remote map edges | Low | Too much travel cost before Alohomora III is open |
Key Timestamps
This type of collectible video is best used to confirm sequence, not to mindlessly follow a long recording from the start:
00:00: confirm that the video is the full Demiguise route rather than only Hogwarts interiors.- During the
Hogwartsportion: pause and decide whether your current main quest route will pass the area anyway. - During the
Hogsmeadeportion: this is the strongest first-batch route, so it is the best place to double-check. - Once the
Highlandssegment begins: treat it as theAlohomora II -> IIIphase, not the best first sweep.
Before You Try It
- Demiguise statues only work at night, so switch the time before starting the route.
- If the only goal right now is level 3 lock access, do not burn time trying to 100% the map immediately.
- Once level 3 is open, a lot of locked rooms, chests, and collectible routes become much more efficient, so pair this with the Map and Quests Hub.
FAQ
Do I Need All 33 Demiguise Moons for Alohomora III?
No. The important part is meeting Gladwin Moon’s two delivery thresholds in the right order, not full completion first.
Why Can I See a Demiguise but Not Collect It?
The most common reason is that it is daytime. Demiguise interactions only work at night.
Should I Sweep Hogwarts or Hogsmeade First?
Usually Hogsmeade plus the most convenient school pickups is the strongest first loop because the route is tighter and the first turn-in comes sooner.
