So, grab your wand, dust off your spellbook, and let’s embark on this exciting adventure!
Unlocking the Passage: Prerequisites and Location
Before you can even attempt the challenges within Depulso Room 2, there are a few prerequisites you’ll need to fulfil. Firstly, you must have learned the Depulso spell. This happens during Professor Sharp’s Assignment 1, part of the main story progression. Additionally, you’ll need to complete the “The Hall of Herodiana” side quest. This quest becomes available after finishing “The Helm of Urknot” and can be initiated by speaking to Sophronia Franklin near the Astronomy Wing’s Charms Class Floo Flame.
Now that you’re prepped with the necessary spells, it’s time to locate Depulso Room 2. Head to the Bell Tower Wing of Hogwarts Castle and fast travel to the Bell Tower Courtyard Floo Flame. From there, turn left and ascend the first set of stairs. Continue straight ahead through the door, and you’ll find yourself in a classroom. Inside this room, look for a door on the right secured with a Level 1 Alohomora lock. If you haven’t learned Alohomora yet, fret not! This spell is unlocked during the main story quest, “The Caretaker’s Lunar Lament.”
Once you’ve unlocked the Level 1 Alohomora door, step inside and prepare to be transported to a whole new environment. Look to the right wall, and you’ll see an unusual section that appears to be part of an ancient Egyptian chamber. Here’s the key: cast Depulso on the seemingly solid marble wall in this corner. With a satisfying rumble, the wall will vanish, revealing the entrance to Depulso Room 2.
Conquering the Chamber: A Step-by-Step Guide
Depulso Room 2 is divided into two sections, each presenting its own set of challenges. Here’s a detailed walkthrough to help you navigate and conquer this hidden chamber:
Section 1: Block-Pushing Puzzles and Platform Challenges
- Manoeuvring the Moving Blocks: You’ll find three large moveable blocks on the left side of the room. Use Depulso to push them towards the back wall.
- Reaching the First Chest: Climb atop the middle block. Here, you’ll need to utilize another spell – Accio (learned during Charms Class). Cast Accio on the chain mechanism in front of you to pull the remaining two blocks closer. This creates a platform, allowing you to jump across the gap and reach the first chest on the right side.
- Moving the Blocks Again: Turn around and face the three blocks. Cast Accio once more to pull them towards the right wall.
- Scaling the Blocks and Reaching the Exit: Jump onto the blocks and climb your way up to access the exit door on the right. This leads you to the second section of Depulso Room 2.
Section 2: A Room of Shifting Sands and Hidden Chests
- A Shifting Landscape: As you enter the second section, you’ll encounter a room filled with sand that constantly shifts beneath your feet. Be cautious while navigating this area, as it’s easy to get stuck.
- Spotting the Hidden Blocks: Look closely around the room. You’ll see several pressure plates scattered on the sandy floor. Stepping on these plates reveals hidden stone blocks that emerge from the sand.
- Utilizing the Blocks for Navigation and Treasure: Use these newly revealed blocks to your advantage. Climb and jump across them to reach the three chests located on raised platforms around the room. Two of these chests contain random loot, while the third one is a coveted Collection Chest that unlocks a random Conjuration spell, essential for completing the “Collector’s Edition” achievement.
- Reaching the Exit: After collecting all the treasures, locate the exit door on the far side of the room. It’s positioned high on the wall, so utilize the strategically placed blocks to climb and reach the exit.
Tips and Tricks for Mastering Depulso Room 2
- Utilize the Revelio Spell: Cast Revelio (learned during Madam Kogawa’s Assignment 1) to highlight hidden objects, including pressure plates and chests, making navigation easier.
- Practice Patience: The shifting sand can be frustrating. Take your time, plan your jumps carefully, and avoid getting stuck.
- Don’t Be Afraid to Experiment: Try different combinations of Depulso and Accio on the moveable blocks to create pathways and reach hidden areas.
- Running Jumps for Success: When jumping across gaps, use a running start for extra momentum, especially in the section with shifting sands.
