Hogwarts Legacy is full of side quests, side missions that aren't linear, but allow you to prove yourself in battle or test your reasoning skills.
Among the various side quests is one called The Lost Astrolabe, a relatively simple quest to complete and which only lasts a few minutes. This quest, however, allows you to obtain a unique piece of scope as a reward, as well as giving you the opportunity to learn how to dive underwater in the game, which is a real advantage for the rest of your adventure. Indeed, learning to dive underwater in Hogwarts Legacy can be very useful, as you can find very useful objects and gear in the dark depths. Thus, you have good reason to embark on this side quest The Lost Astrolabe if you have already gone through the main quest: The secrets of the library reserve.
We will see in detail how it works.

Progress of the side quest: The lost astrolabe in Hogwarts Legacy
The quest begins with a discussion with Grace Pinch-Smedley, a young Slytherin student, whom you will see on an old wooden platform in the Campolard-en-bas district, in the South region of Hogwarts. You must be at least level 7 before you can trigger this quest, so the best thing to do is wait to be summoned to the region by Natty during the fourth main quest of Hogwarts Legacy.
Grace will ask for help in finding her family's lost astrolabe, which is in the water northeast of the dock. To reach it, you will simply have to jump into the water and head towards the area indicated on your map.
You might encounter a Dugbog or two in the water, but since you won't be able to use your wands while swimming, it's best to leave these enemies out of the way or take them out in the shallows.
Once you get to the marked spot, you'll start to see white circles in the water. By heading to the center of one of these circles and pressing the Square button on the PlayStation or Xbox X controller, you can dive into the water and come out with items or equipment. After searching enough places, you will eventually find the lost astrolabe and can then return to shore to join Grace and claim your reward.
Here again, as in other side quests, you will have the choice of whether or not to return the missing object that you have recovered. Choosing to keep the astrolabe or demand a reward will certainly annoy Grace, but you'll get the same rewards either way: 180 XP and the Mermaid Mask, a cosmetic item that can be used to customize a woman's appearance. piece of equipment.
How diving works in Hogwarts Legacy
As in the side quest The Lost Astrolabe, it is possible to dive underwater in Hogwarts Legacy while swimming towards the white circle and pressing the Square button for the controllers of PlayStation or X on Xbox. It's a very convenient mechanic in that, just like the contents of chests, the items and gear you get from diving are random. It is therefore possible to save and then reload the game to restart the rewards for each dive spot, which allows you to obtain rather interesting objects if you have patience.
