How to open Eyeball Chests in Hogwarts Legacy

Opening an Eyeball Chest requires the Disillusionment spell. Simply cast the spell outside of the Eyeball Chest’s view, sneak up to the chest, and open it. This spell is unlocked after a certain time spent playing the main story when you start the Secrets of the Restricted Section quest with Sebastian Sallow. Once you’ve unlocked the spell, you’ll be able to open these chests to find the resources inside.
The other way to open an Eyeball Chest is by purchasing and using an invisibility potion. Once you’ve used one, the eye won’t track you, helping you open the chest. Just make sure you open the chest before the potion’s effect wears off.
