Avoid Running Close to the Wall

There are certain parts of game's world, particularly at the Great Hall in Hogwarts Castle, where you can fall through the game's world if you run close to the edges of the wall. Avoid running along these areas to prevent this bug from occuring.

Reload the Game

There are some cases wherein if you fall through the game's world, it causes your character to fall to their death. Select Retry or Load Game from the screen to restart from the previous save.

Use a Flying Mount to Fly Back Up

If you have a flying mount such as the broom, you can summon it to fly back up towards the normal game world. You can summon the flying mount while free falling to prevent yourself from falling to your death or getting stuck under the game's world.

In addition, you can also fast travel while on a broom allowing you to move to a different location.

No Collision Detection in Certain Areas

Hogwarts Legacy - Avoid Running Close to the Wall

Some areas of the game's world may have faulty or no collision detection and this causes the bug to occur. This means that if your character walks or runs on these areas, the game treats the area not as a solid surface and causes your character to fall through it instead.
