Chapter 10 – Seeing red

Introduction

Hello everyone, welcome to our Walkthrough for Chapter Ten of Year Four of Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery.

In the previous chapter, you searched through the Artefact Room with the assistance of Madam Rakepick’s Niffler. Sadly, there was no trace of the arrowhead there.

The next logical place to check was the caretaker’s office. Thankfully, Madam Rakepick offered to distract Filch while you went on with the search.

However, the arrowhead wasn’t there either, but the Niffler did find an interesting-looking key. It turned out that this key was the whole reason why Madam Rakepick wanted you to search Filch’s office, but at least she allowed you to keep Sickleworth until you find the arrowhead.

Once you begin this chapter, you will be met with a waiting period of three hours, so you can start things off by doing the lessons part of the chapter first. Hit the GO button and proceed to the Charms classroom.

Unlocking the Scourgify lesson requires you to obtain nine stars from the Charms classes. There are several different class combinations you can take to achieve this.

It is recommended to either go with three three-hour classes or two eight-hour classes. When you decide, hit the Start button to begin.

As always, prioritize doing actions with bonus progress to save as much energy as possible.

Also, after earning each star, you’ll be given a mini-task. Complete it successfully and you’ll be awarded ten Empathy points.

When you are done, hit the Collect button to continue. As soon as you get all of the required stars, you can head back to the Charms classroom to attend the lesson.

In order to learn the Scourgify Spell, you need to earn five stars within three hours. Having full energy before starting will make things much easier.

Do this lesson just like any of the previous ones and you should have no problems completing it in time. One unique thing about this lesson is the question Professor Flitwick will ask you about the Scouring Charm.

When you obtain all five stars, you will be tasked with casting the spell. Trace the wand movement on the screen to cast the Scouring Charm.

When you are done, hit the Collect button to claim your rewards. You can also collect an additional reward in the Charms section of your Hogwarts Record.

One down, one to go. Hit the GO button and proceed to the Transfiguration classroom for the second lesson of the chapter.

Unlocking the Orchideous lesson requires you to earn a total of nine stars from the Transfiguration classes. Like before, you can choose the combination of classes that suits you best and tap on the Start button to begin.

Follow the usual steps when doing these classes and as a general rule, prioritize bonus progress actions whenever you get the chance.

Every star you earn will grant you the opportunity to get some additional Knowledge points by completing the mini-tasks.

When you obtain all nine stars, you can go back to the classroom to attend the lesson.

To learn the Orchideous spell, you need to earn five stars within three hours. All five stars are required to pass.

There is not much of a difference between this one and the previous classes you had. Repeat the same steps and you’ll be done in no time.

Once you obtain the fifth star, you’ll be tasked with performing the spell. Trace the wand movement on the screen to cast Orchideous.

When you are done, hit the Collect button to claim the rewards and continue. You will be able to collect an additional reward in the Transfiguration section of your Hogwarts record.

Now that you’re done with the lessons, you can head to the Great Hall to meet Charlie.

Once you arrive, you’ll notice the speech bubbles above several characters. Tap on those if you want to find out what they have to say.

Charlie will thank you for introducing Sickleworth to him.

You will suspect that Madam Rakepick had you search inside the castle to trick you into doing her dirty work. Your plan is to go to Forbidden Forest with the Niffler, and if Sickleworth finds the arrowhead, you will bring it to the Torvus, who will then lead you to the Cursed Vault.

Charlie will point out that going into a Cursed Vault without a plan is extremely dangerous, so you’ll decide to come up with a plan for the next Cursed Vault.

Planning with Charlie requires earning five stars within one hour. One star is needed to pass.

Unfortunately, there are no bonus progress actions available for this task. Still, you should easily be able to fully complete it with one energy bar.

Once you are done, you’ll come up with a plan to search the Forbidden Forest with the Niffler. You will, however, need another person to help you with this. You have three options to choose from.

In order to pick Ben or Andre, you need to have a certain friendship level with them. As for Ismelda, she can be selected freely. While the main story will play out similarly, no matter who you choose, having Ismelda there will open some pretty interesting and funny scenes, so you might want to consider bringing her along. Also, bear in mind that you will earn a significant increase in your friendship experience with Ben or Andre if you choose them.

Your next task involves convincing the person you selected to accompany you on this daring adventure. Hit the GO button and proceed to the Three Broomsticks.

When you arrive, you’ll be able to interact with certain characters by tapping on the speech bubbles above them.

You’ll then explain the situation and what follows is a task similar to Drinking Butterbeer. The task window will display the recommended attribute levels as well as the cost.

Basically, you want to select the answers that will fit your friend’s personality. For example, if you pick Ben, try to encourage him to join your cause. As for Andre, select some Quidditch references since he likes that the most. And for Ismelda, simply boast her ego and you won’t have any problems.

Below are some of the questions and answers in case you chose Ben.

• Why do you want me to go? – You’re gifted at Charms (Knowledge)
• I’m surprised you trust me… – You’re a good friend. (Empathy)
• I wish I wasn’t so afraid… – We’ll protect each other. (Courage)
• I’ll need more Calming Draught… – I’ll be with you the whole time… (Empathy)
• I don’t know if I can help… – We need you with us (Courage)

Here are some of the questions and answers for Andre.

• Why do you want me to go? – You’re a top Quidditch player. (Knowledge)
• I’ve never been in the Forest… – Think of it as a big match. (Empathy)
• What if things go wrong? – We’ll work as a team. (Courage)
• What if I get expelled? – You can tell them it was my idea. (Knowledge)
• I’m still not sure… – We can do this together. (Empathy)

You can find the questions and answers for Ismelda below:

• Why do you want me to go? – You’re fearless. (Courage)
• I’ve never been in the Forest… – It’s dangerous. (Knowledge)
• What about the creatures? – You can fight them. (Knowledge)
• We could get caught… – You can blame me. (Empathy)
• I might stab you in the back… – I suppose it’s better than the front. (Courage)
• I still hate you… – We don’t need to be friends. (Empathy)

When you are done, hit the Collect button to continue. If you chose Ben or Andre, you will receive some friendship experience with them.

Shortly after, the person you asked for help will ask you a question. You’ll be given three options to respond with and each of those will award you some attribute points. However, since this choice isn’t affecting the outcome, you can feel free to select the option you like the most.

You will need to wait three hours before you can proceed to the next task. Since you will likely be low on energy at this point, it is recommended to wait until the timer runs out. That way, your energy will fully recharge in the meantime.

Once you are able to continue, head to Forest Grove to meet your classmates. When you arrive, you’ll realize that Sickleworth is missing. Perhaps casting Red Sparks will attract him to return to you?

Sadly, that won’t work. You’ll have to look around and see if you can find anything. To do that, you need to earn at least one out of five stars within three hours.

There is a bonus progress action linked to your character. Focus on it to save some energy.

After you’re done with the search, you’ll find the tracks leading to the strange hole. You’ll find yourself in a Red Cap’s Hole. It truly is a dreadful place to be in.

Thankfully, Sickleworth will be there, rummaging through the Red Cap’s belongings.

The classmate you asked for help will say a few words.

You’ll decide to quickly look around and see if there is anything you can find. This is a three-hour task that requires you to earn five stars. One star is needed to pass.

There is a bonus progress action tied to the box near your character. Prioritize it whenever it is available to save a bit of energy.

Sickleworth will end up finding a shiny object. Unfortunately, it won’t be the one you were looking for.

Shortly after that, Red Cap will appear and scare you out of its hole.

Your next task is to regroup and discuss the situation at the Forest Grove.

Charlie will explain some things about Red Caps to you. Apparently, they are not to be messed with.

You’ll then decide that the best course of action would be further studying Red Caps in the Library. However, you will need to wait three hours before you can continue. Once the waiting time is over, hit the GO button and proceed to the Library.

When you arrive, you’ll be able to interact with some of the characters. Simply tap on the speech bubbles above them to see what they have to say.

You will take Sickleworth to the Library and introduce him to Tonks and Charlie. Charlie will jest that you are a trouble magnet because you’ve barely been in a forest at all and already ran into a Red Cap and a Centaur.

He will also mention that you could try to defeat the Red Cap with spells, but who knows what might happen if you miss. You will suggest researching more about Red Caps before encountering the creature again.

Your next task is discussing the Red Cap. To complete it, you need to earn five stars within an hour. Only one star is required to pass.

There is a bonus progress action tied to your character. Prioritize it if you want to save a bit of energy.

When you are done, you’ll realize that Red Caps are repulsed by prettiness, so with Penny’s help, you might be able to brew a potion that could help you deal with the creature.

With this, Chapter 10 of Year 4 will be completed. Hit the Collect button to claim your rewards. You will receive 250 Coins and 1700 Experience points.

Will Penny agree to help you? And will the two of you be able to brew the potion? Find out in the next chapter of Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery!
