How to enable Arachnophobia mode in Hogwarts Legacy
You can turn on Arachnophobia mode by opening up the settings and visiting the accessibility options menu. Scroll all the way down to the bottom and you’ll see “Arachnophobia mode.” All you have to do is hover over the option to toggle it on. You can always toggle it off again, but why would you want to?
When you enable Arachnophobia mode, you’ll see the following changes:
- Changes all enemy spider appearances
- Reduces and removes spider skitters and screeches
- Removes small spider ground effect spawners
- Makes static spider corpses in the world invisible
- Collision is still active to stop players from getting stuck when in this mode
- The mode will not change the spider images in the Field Guide
Now you know how to enable Arachnophobia mode in Hogwarts Legacy, you won’t be spooked by spiders any longer. Restarting the game when you enable this accessibility feature is not necessary, as it will immediately come into effect as soon as you turn it on.
