Duelling Deathday Parties Part 1

Hello everyone, welcome to Part 1 of our Walkthrough for Duelling Deathday Parties Adventure for Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery. This adventure is available for the students of Year 2 and above, and during it you will get the opportunity to help Nearly Headless Nick organize his Deathday party.

Proceed there when you are ready.
[Disclaimer: This walkthrough will feature the gameplay from the perspective of a Year 6 student. Since the adventure is available for students of Year 2 and above, the star and attribute requirements for certain tasks might be different for you, depending on the year you’re in.]

Upon arriving, you will get to interact with some of the students and see what they have to say.

You’ll also notice that there are a lot of ghosts in the Great Hall. Sir Nicholas will greet you warmly.

You’ll be curious to know why he wants to see you.

He’ll inform you he needs your assistance with some exceptional matter.

The following lines will differ slightly, based on the house you’re in.

Nearly Headless Nick will tell you that his Deathday will be very soon… precisely on October 31st.

And by the looks of it, he plans on hosting a Deathday party.

You’ll find it odd that Nick wants to celebrate the day he died.

He will try to explain that the Deathday isn’t the end, but the beginning for ghosts, hence the reason for celebration.

Unfortunately, he cannot plan everything on his own, which is why he needs your assistance.

You’ll be more than willing to help in any way you can. You will ask him more about the party.

Nick will then tell you everything he has planned so far.

This requires earning five stars within three hours. Only one star is needed to pass.

There are 5-cost actions linked to some of the ghosts. Prioritize those if you are looking to save some energy.

Apparently, Sir Nicholas is really looking forward to his Deathday party.

Still, there are a lot of things to be done in order to get everything prepared in time.

You’ll be glad to know that he has everything planned. After all, you never had the chance to organize a Deathday party.

Nick will tell you some interesting information about the ghosts.

He’ll wonder what you think of it. There are two options to choose from. None of these will impact the story in a significant way, so feel free to pick either one.

As for the matter at hand, firstly, you’ll need to inform others about Sir Nicholas’ Deathday party.

You’ll ask him who to talk to first.

Nick will look around for a bit before deciding.

He’ll ask the Fat Friar for a moment of his time.

Unfortunately, the Friar will be quite busy about something and will leave the Great Hall shortly after.

Sir Nicholas will find this very unusual and he’ll ask you to follow the Fat Friar and see what’s going on.

Head to the Training Grounds to find the Friar.

When you arrive, you’ll be able to interact with some of the characters.

You’ll spot the Friar talking to one of the ghosts. You will approach him and ask if you can have a moment of his time. If this is your first time meeting the Fat Friar, you’ll be sure to introduce yourself.

He will ask if there’s anything he can do for you.

You’ll get straight to the point and inform him about Sir Nicholas’ Deathday party.

The Fat Friar will admit he’s very busy about something else at the moment, which is why he cannot think about anything else.

You’ll be curious to know if it has something to do with whatever the other ghosts are talking about.

The Friar will smile and nod. He’ll tell you that a very special ghost will be visiting Hogwarts fairly soon.

By the looks of it, this doesn’t happen often.

The Fat Friar will then ask you for advice. There are three options to choose from. These won’t have any big impact on the story, so feel free to go with whichever option you want.

You’ll ask the Friar to tell you more about this ghost that will be visiting Hogwarts.

He’ll tell you that the visitor is none other than Erling the Great.

The Friar will decide to tell you more about him.

This requires earning five stars within three hours. Three stars are needed to pass.

The only 5-cost action here is linked to your character. Focus on your actions if you want to save a bit of energy.

The Fat Friar will sum things up once he’s done filling you in.

Apparently, Erling the Great is one of the most famous ghosts in the Wizarding World.

As it seems, the Fat Friar was friends with Erling the Great ever since both of them were alive.

Also, this is the first time he’ll be visiting Hogwarts, which is why the Friar is so worried.

Once again, you will tell him about Sir Nicholas’ Deathday party. Perhaps it would be a good idea to invite Erling to it?

The Fat Friar will think about it, but with everything going on, he’ll be too busy to promise anything.

You’ll ask if there’s anything you can do to help.

As a matter of fact, there is something you can do. The Friar will need your help with finding a suitable place for Erling to haunt.

You’ll decide to ask Penny for advice. Perhaps she could help you.

When you are ready, proceed to the Courtyard to meet with Penny.

Your Hufflepuff friend will ask you to tell her what’s going on.

You’ll explain that you are helping Nearly Headless Nick organize his Deathday party.

You will also tell her about the special ghost that is soon to visit Hogwarts.

Penny will be curious to know more about this visitor.

You’ll quickly tell her more.

Penny will then ask you an interesting question. There are three options to respond with. Feel free to pick the one you prefer since these won’t have any big impact on the story.

You’ll then get to brainstorm a suitable haunting place for Erling the Great.

This requires earning five stars within three hours. Three stars are needed to pass.

There are two 5-cost actions linked to your character. Prioritize your actions if you want to save some energy.

Once you’re done brainstorming, you’ll realize that the Artefact Room would be the perfect place for Erling the Great.

Penny will suggest finding the Friar and telling him you found the place for Erling.

Proceed to the Great Hall when you are ready.

When you arrive, you will notice the speech bubbles above some of the characters. Tap on those if you want to see what they have to say.

You will happily inform the Friar about the results of your brainstorming with Penny.

He’ll be very glad to hear it.

You will ask if he’ll be able to attend Nick’s Deathday party now that the matter is settled.

Unfortunately, before you get the answer, one of the ghosts will announce the arrival of Erling the Great.

The Friar will be surprised to hear this since Erling wasn’t supposed to arrive until the next day.

Moments later, Erling the Great will make a marvelous entrance.

He’ll happily greet the Fat Friar.

The Friar will be delighted to see his old friend again.

Shortly after, he will introduce you to Erling.

He’ll also mention that you’re the one who found him the place to haunt during his stay at Hogwarts.

Erling the Great will thank you for that.

He’ll also say you remind him of a certain student he met during his recent visit to Beauxbatons.

You’ll ask if there is any way he prefers to be addressed.

He’ll chuckle and say that you can call him Erling the Great.

Erling will ask if you are familiar with the ghosts. There are three options to respond with. If you want to please him, it is recommended to pick the third option. However, you can still feel free to choose whichever option you want since this choice won’t affect the outcome of the story.

Erling will then ask you to introduce him to Hogwarts and tell him about your plans for his visit.

Welcoming Erling requires earning five stars within eight hours. All five stars are needed to pass.

The only 5-cost action here is tied to your character, so prioritize it whenever it’s available if you want to save a bit of energy.

Erling will be very happy with everything the Friar has planned for his visit.

You’ll ask Erling if he’ll have time to attend Nearly Headless Nick’s Deathday party.

Apparently, he’s never heard of Sir Nicholas.

The Fat Friar will suggest discussing Nick’s Deathday party later.

As it seems, Erling’s Deathday is exactly the same as Nick’s… on October 31st.

You will suggest celebrating both Deathdays together.

Unfortunately, Erling the Great won’t really like that idea.

Moments later, Nearly Headless Nick will arrive. Apparently, he has overheard your conversation, and needless to say, he won’t be too happy about it.

The Friar will try to calm him down.

Sadly, before he gets the chance to say anything, Nick will simply tell him to come to his Deathday party. Moments later, he will leave the Great Hall.

The Friar will ask you to help him convince Sir Nicholas to talk things through.
