In Hogwarts Legacy, during your playthrough, you'll get the side quest “The Daedalian Keys”, in which you'll have to find 16 keys in Hogwarts to collect house tokens. At the end, you can use them to open your house chest and get one of the coolest capes in the game: the Relic House Uniform.
These are the Daedalian Keys: Within the first few hours of the game, you'll receive a side quest from Nellie Ogspire in the Astronomy Wing's transfiguration courtyard, where you're supposed to follow a key. These fly in front of you like dragonflies and lead you to a house cabinet. You can use the key to get a token for your chosen house. You need 16 of them.

To find all 16 Daedalian Keys, of course, you must first accept the side quest “The Daedalian Keys” from Nellie Ogspire in the Astronomy Wing's Transfiguration Courtyard. You should also know the lock picking spell Alohomora, as a few cabinets are behind locked doors.
Once you start the quest at Nellie Ogspire, the quest marker will also take you directly to the first key - here, when you activate it, you must wait for the Daedalian Key to fly above the keyhole before you strike.
