One of the most popular Hogwarts Legacy The items to be found is the Chest of Disillusionment, and one player decided that opening the chest in the game wasn’t enough, so they made a real-life 3D model of it. The Chest of Disillusionment is better known as the Eyeball Chest, thanks to its wandering human eye, always looking for players trying to obtain the treasure it is protecting. Then, of course, the real version of the Chest of Disillusion also comes complete with a human eye.
Editor mmmmysteryaka Marko Makaj, posted a video of the 3D model they made on Hogwarts Legacy subreddit showing the chest-eye accuracy of disillusionment. In Hogwarts Legacythe chest challenges the player as the Alohomora Spell would normally be used to unlock locked items, but this will not work on the eyeball chest. The eyeball closes when it sees the player, and no other spell can open it. The real version of the Chest of Disillusionment created by Makaj doesn’t react like this, but it has a feature that makes it frighteningly realistic.
Fan-crafted Disillusionment Chest comes equipped with moving eye
The feature is making fans feel like they found it at Hogwarts
Hogwarts Legacy fans were surprised to see the eye on Makaj’s chest move exactly like in the game when a player is close to the chestand some wanted to buy it. One fan wasn’t sure if the chest was a real item or a rendering, to which Makaj, an artist who creates high-quality 3D models and props, confirmed that it was real by showing a Instagram video of the work they put into building it. Common Hogwarts Legacy sequel officially in the works, fans were right to wonder why Warner Bros. did not attempt to recreate game items.
Many fans were scared to see the wandering eye in real life and wondered if they would need to cast the Disillusionment Spell to become invisible and avoid its gaze, as they would in the game to collect the Galleons inside. Fans also joked that this chest of disillusionment should either spring up and lock itself if they are spotted or freak out and flail when it is opened.. When asked about adding a proximity sensor to the chest to achieve this, Makaj said: “Haha, I already got it on two other projects, still trying to find space for it in the treasure chest.”
Our Take: How Cool Is Wandering Eye?
The magic of Hogwarts Legacy doesn’t end with the game
While video games like Hogwarts Legacy have a unique power to transport players to the world of Harry Potterit’s difficult for the virtual world to match something a player can experience for themselves. That’s why collecting wands The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal it’s such a huge attraction. Being able to obtain a physical item from something as fantastic as a wand, or in this case, the Chest of Disillusionment, makes the world Harry Potter I feel most alive when items ‘act’ as they would in Hogwarts Legacy.
It is the engaging qualities that make items worth collecting and can deepen attachment to the world of Harry Potterespecially since Warner Bros. is trying to unite Hogwarts Legacy with the TV reboot. Fans are right to embrace Makaj’s cool design, and hopefully it inspires others to create more items from Hogwarts Legacy for fans to enjoy.
