Quick Answer
Find the key, follow it, time the cabinet slap. Start The Daedalian Keys by talking with Nellie Oggspire in the Transfiguration Courtyard. Every cabinet awards a House Token. Return all 16 tokens to your House Chest for the glowing Relic House Uniform.
Interactive Guide
How the cabinets work
Where to search first
Begin at the Astronomy Tower to learn the mechanic. From there, sweep the Grand Staircase, Great Hall, Central Hall, Potions and Bell Tower areas. Save the Faculty Tower and Clock Tower keys until after you have learned Alohomora.
Use the location checklist rather than wandering between floors at random. The key’s flight normally leads you directly to its cabinet once triggered.
The reward and potential blockers
All 16 House Tokens unlock your own House-specific Relic House Uniform—a robe with embroidery that glows as spells are cast. The visual color and insignia depend on your chosen House.
If a cabinet seems inaccessible, confirm whether you need the caretaker quest and Alohomora for a nearby locked door.
