Hogwarts Legacy: Diricawl Location

Diricawl can be found in the Poidsear Coast, Marunweem Lake, and Clagmar Coast. If you have yet to unlock those areas of the map, however, there is a Diricawl habitat south of Hogwarts, in the Hogwarts Valley.
The exact Diricawl location can be found using the image above. The habitat within the Hogwarts Valley is northeast of Feldcroft, on a cliffside overlooking some ruins. Be careful as Inferni are likely to spawn nearby.
How To Capture Diricawl In Hogwarts Legacy

As Diricawl can vanish from thin air, they can be a tricky beast to capture. As such, we recommend using either Arresto Momentum or Leviosa to lock the Dircawl in place. Once they are floating or immobilised, you can summon your Nab-sack and complete the QTE to capture the beast.
You may need to repeat the spell twice to get a successful capture. Once you have the Diricawl, you can then return to the Room of Requirement and release it into your Vivarium. Or go to the inventory menu and choose to return it to the habitat.
Whichever you choose, capturing the Diricawl will also complete part of the quest, 'Professor Howin's Assignment'. After also acquiring a Giant Purple Toad and attending Beasts Class, you'll be ready to learn Bombarda, one of the highest damage-dealing spells in the game.
