Start of the side quest: Objective Hippogriff in Hogwarts Legacy
To start this quest, you must first clear your way through the goblin encampment east of the South Sea bog. To do this, enter the small cave located in the southeast corner of the bog and go to the other side, on the northern coast of Poidsear. You will then have to get on your broomstick and fly southeast until you reach the castle of Poidsear, a ruin swarming with dangerous enemies.
If you'd rather not face these enemies, cast the disillusionment spell and slip into the tent at the southwest corner of the castle. If you want to fight them, it's the infamous enemy, Iona Morgan, and her henchmen.
Upon entering the tent, you will find Henrietta's Map, an item that when used reveals the location of a unique treasure. Unfortunately, the map doesn't explicitly indicate how to acquire this treasure, and you might find it hard to know where to start your search.
Find Henrietta's hideout
According to Henrietta's map, the treasure can be found by entering a passage under a ruin, but given the number of places similar to it in Hogwarts Legacy, you will have a little trouble finding the passage. describe. You will notice that these ruins are close to where the map was found, but you will still have to travel quite a distance to reach them.
To find these ruins, grab your broomstick and head southwest to reach Henrietta's hideout. You can easily get lost in this fairly large area, however you will see cliffs that you can follow to get to the southwest if necessary.
As with the Coast of Poidsear, it is possible to avoid fighting enemies here by using the Disillusion spell. The entrance to Henrietta's hideout is found by going down the southeast stairs of the ruins next to Merlin's Trial. At the end of this path, you will be confronted with the door that leads inside.
Block puzzle solving
When entering Henrietta's hideout, you will be faced with a puzzle in which you must place a block on the corresponding plate. To find the block needed to open the front door, you need to cast Confringo or Incendio on the brazier on the left. This will spin the statue and reveal the missing block.
Then, with Wingardium Leviosa, levitate the block on the flame etched plate in front of the door. Once the two blocks are in place, launch Incendio or Confringo on the left block and Glacius on the right to open the way. There are several Ashwinders in the next room, but once you clear them you can focus on finding the treasure.
Solving the riddle of the hippogriff
After eliminating the enemies in the next room, focus on the Hippogriff statue. According to Henriette's map, the braziers surrounding the statue must be lit in a certain way for the treasure to be revealed. To solve this puzzle, cast Glacius and Incendio to turn on and off the braziers depicted on the map.
This process is relatively easy, since all you have to do is extinguish the flames that are already lit and light those that are not. However, you can easily lose sight of which braziers to light, especially since Glacius and Confringo may not work the first time. You will then need to refer to the map when casting, while ensuring that only four braziers are lit at the end, which will open the passage to the treasure.
To get the treasure, just venture behind the hippogriff statue and enter the newly opened chamber. You will find a chest there containing 400 Galleons and the Treasure Seeker's Gloves, and you can complete the quest: Objective Hippogriff by opening this chest.
Side Quests: To the Rescue of Rococo and Nothing Wrong Now
Before leaving Henrietta's hideout, you can take the opportunity to complete the side quest To the rescue of Rococo if you have already met Agness Coffey in Bainbourg. This quest asks you to venture into Henrietta's hideout and go deeper into the ruins than in the Hippogriff Objective quest.
In the next room filled with frail, you will discover a chamber hidden behind an enchanted wall on the right side of the room. Inside you will find a musical card, an essential element to start the side quest: Nothing is wrong anymore.
These two quests can easily be completed due to their particularly convenient location. This way, you won't need to solve the block puzzle again to pursue them, and can easily complete both quests. You will of course see even more frail in the still unexplored areas of Henrietta's hideout, which requires caution to complete all the quests available in this area.
