Set in the 1800s, Hogwarts Legacy could include a comprehensive history of the Elder Wand long before it's possessed by Dumbledore or Grindelwald. The Elder Wand changed hands several times before the modern Harry Potter stories, and during the timeframe set for Hogwarts Legacy, it was held by Loxias. Players have the option of being good or bad, so the inclusion of the Elder Wand could affect the outcome of the story based on the player's decisions.
Hogwarts Legacy is an open-world RPG set in the Wizarding World during the 1800s. Players will need to choose which side of history they'll play on as they traverse a mix of familiar and new locations. Having the option to be a dark wizard in Hogwarts Legacy means players may encounter another dark wizard in power during this time, Loxias, who happens to also be in possession of the Elder Wand.

In Harry Potter lore, Loxias was a dark wizard that murdered Barnabus Deverill to obtain the Elder Wand, which he then nicknamed the Deathstick. The legend hits somewhat of a grey area after that, because it's not confirmed who killed or took the wand from Loxias. If Loxias is included in Hogwarts Legacy, this could mean that players who choose a dark path might get closer to him, or those who follow the light could have hopes of defeating him. In either scenario, players may have the ability to take the Elder Wand for themselves.
As most Hogwarts Legacy players and fans of Harry Potter know, the Elder Wand was likely forged as a gift for the eldest Peverell brother, Antioch. For a long time, the myth was clouded with the notion that the owner needed to be murdered for another to take possession of the ancient wand.
