Hogwarts Legacy is brimming with secrets waiting to be uncovered. One such enticing prospect is the Cursed Tomb Treasure side quest, offering a cryptic map and a chance to plunder hidden riches. But where do you begin, and what challenges lie in wait? This comprehensive guide will equip you with all the knowledge you need to navigate the treacherous tomb and claim your prize.
Initiating the Treasure Hunt: Finding the Mysterious Map Fragment
The key to embarking on this adventure lies within the Helm of Urtkot main quest. As you progress through this storyline, you’ll gain possession of a crucial item – the Mysterious Map Fragment. This tattered piece of parchment holds the key to the treasure’s location and the puzzle guarding it.
However, the map fragment itself remains a mystery. It depicts a crudely drawn location and a cryptic symbol resembling the “Flippendo” spell. Deciphering this map and utilizing the hinted spell will be paramount in securing the treasure.
Here’s a helpful tip: Before setting off, ensure you’ve mastered the Alohomora spell. You’ll encounter a locked chest along the way, and unlocking it is essential to progress.
Locating the Tomb: A Journey to the Tomb of Treachery
The map fragment points towards the Tomb of Treachery, situated on the northwest corner of the Poidsear Coast region. Fast travel to the West Manor Cape Floo Flame for a convenient starting point.
Once there, you’ll find a majestic waterfall cascading down the cliffs. Look behind the waterfall – a hidden entrance awaits, leading into the depths of the tomb. Be prepared, for the tomb’s depths are not for the faint of heart.
Navigating the Perils: Unveiling the Tomb’s Secrets
As you delve into the tomb, equip yourself with light-emitting spells like Lumos. The path ahead will be shrouded in darkness, and illumination will be crucial.
Your first obstacle will be a series of web-covered doorways. Cast Lumos to reveal three moths flitting about the chamber. These ethereal creatures hold the key to unlocking the doorways.
Here’s where things get interesting: You’ll need to strategically guide the moths towards the doorways using Lumos. The first two moths reside within this initial chamber, with one potentially trapped behind a spiderweb. Use your combat spells to clear the obstruction and free the trapped moth.
The final moth presents a slight challenge. It resides on a higher platform, inaccessible without some magical assistance. Locate a nearby box and employ the Wingardium Leviosa or Leviosa spell to elevate it, creating a makeshift stepping stool. Ascend the makeshift platform and gently guide the last moth to the final doorway using Lumos.
With all three moths illuminating the doorways, they will magically unlock, granting you passage deeper into the tomb.
Beware: As you venture further, prepare to face hostile creatures like spiders. Cast your offensive spells strategically to eliminate these pesky inhabitants.
The Cryptic Puzzle: A Test of Wit and Magic
After battling your way through the caverns, you’ll arrive at a crucial chamber. Here, the true test of your wit and magical prowess begins.
The chamber will house a peculiar arrangement of stone blocks, some bearing arrows etched upon their surface. Refer back to the Mysterious Map Fragment – the symbol resembling “Flippendo” holds the key.
Carefully examine the map fragment and the stone blocks. You’ll need to use the “Flippendo” spell to rotate specific blocks, ensuring their engraved arrows align with the directions indicated on the map fragment.
Pro Tip: Pay close attention to your character’s positioning within the chamber. The perspective from which you view the stone blocks will determine the correct direction for the arrows.
Patience is key: Solving this puzzle requires methodical experimentation.Keep flipping the blocks until the configuration aligns perfectly with the map fragment.
Claiming Your Reward: The Treasure Awaits
Once you’ve successfully solved the puzzle using “Flippendo” and aligned the stone blocks, a hidden platform will rise from the chamber floor. Ascend this platform, and you’ll be greeted by a gleaming chest – the culmination of your treasure hunt.
Open the chest with anticipation, and you’ll be rewarded with the “Seeker’s Attire.” This unique outfit offers valuable enhancements for your character, potentially boosting your exploration and resource gathering abilities.
