Hogwarts Legacy allows players to craft a large variety of potions through the Potion Station in the Room of Requirement, including a Focus Potion if they have the right ingredients, one of them being Lacewing Flies. Focus Potions reduce the cooldown timer on spells when players engage in battle, so there should be plenty of incentive to scour around the open world for the important piece needed to create this consumable item. While Lacewing Flies are abundant enough to find, players have unique chances to grab these early in the main narrative despite the lack of crafting options at that point in the story.

Making the Focus Potion using Lacewing Flies requires players to follow the quick-time event prompts that appear when using the Potion Station. This mini-game doesn't appear until after players have managed to attend their first Potions class and unlocked the Room of Requirement to use the Station itself. While some potion recipes are gained through story progression or certain events in the game, many are sold in Hogsmeade for reasonable prices. Fighting the dark wizards could become much easier for players who dip into clever potion use throughout their adventure.

The second main story quest of the game, "Welcome to Hogsmeade," sees players follow their previously chosen companion, Natty or Sebastian, to the town of Hogsmeade, where Lacewing Flies can be found along the way. Simply pressing the interact button when a white diamond appears over the nearby bushes adds Lacewing Flies to the player's inventory. Harvesting the other couple of bushes in this area grabs other ingredients that players may need.

Similar collection spots also exist in the various fields and unexplored areas of the map. Players that are thorough in their exploration are able to get Lacewing Flies often, or at the very least find enough gold or currency hidden around to purchase the materials they need from merchants in Hogsmeade.
