Chapter 22 – Agent of Chaos

Introduction

Hello everyone, welcome to our Walkthrough for Chapter Twenty-Two of Year Five of Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery.  Last time, you visited all of the Common Rooms to meet the House Ghosts and see if any of them can help you locate Peeves.

You then went to see Professor Binns and seek his advice regarding poltergeists.

Lastly, you visited the Prefects’ Bathroom to talk to Duncan Ashe and ask him for help. He eventually agreed to help set up the meeting with Peeves.

Summary

Walkthrough

You can start things in the usual manner – completing the lessons. Head to the Potions Classroom for your first lesson.

Unlocking the Wit-Sharpening Potion lesson requires earning nine stars from the Potions classes. Select the duration most suitable to your playstyle and hit the Start button to begin.

While doing these classes, try focusing on actions with bonus progress whenever they’re available in order to save some energy.

Also, try your best to do all of the mini-tasks to earn some extra Knowledge points.

Once you have all nine stars, head back to the classroom to attend the lesson.

Learning to brew Wit-Sharpening Potion requires earning five stars within three hours. All five stars are needed to pass, so avoid starting this lesson with an empty energy bar.

Follow the same steps you took during the previous classes and you’ll be done in no time.

When you get all five stars, wave your wand over the cauldron to finish the potion.

Once you’re done, hit the Collect button to claim your rewards.

You will earn an additional reward for completing the lesson. You can collect it in the Potions section of your Hogwarts Record.

For the second lesson of this chapter, proceed to the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom.

To unlock the Vipera Evanesca lesson, you need to acquire a total of nine stars from the Defence Against the Dark Arts classes. Like before, pick the class duration suitable to your liking and hit Start to begin.

In most cases, you’ll have plenty of bonus progress actions available here, which will make it easier to earn all the stars you need.

And as always, try doing all the mini-tasks to earn some extra Courage points.

Upon earning all the necessary stars, head back to the classroom to attend the lesson.

Learning the Vipera Evanesca spell requires obtaining five stars within three hours. All five stars are needed to pass, so having close to full energy prior to starting the lesson is highly recommended.

Like before, prioritize bonus progress actions to save some energy.

During the lesson, Professor Rakepick will ask you a question about the Vipera Evanesca spell.

Upon earning five stars, you’ll be tasked with casting the spell. Trace the wand movement on the screen to perform it.

When you are done, hit the Collect button to claim your rewards.

Completing the lesson will earn you an additional reward. You can collect it in the Defence Against the Dark Arts section of your Hogwarts Record.

Now that the lessons have been dealt with, you can continue the story. Hit the GO button and proceed to the Clocktower Courtyard to meet Duncan.

When you get there, you’ll be able to interact with some of the characters to see what they have to say.

Duncan will tell you that in order to attract Peeves’ attention, you need to cause some chaos.

He’ll then talk to you about what you need to do to attract Peeves. Doing that requires earning five stars within an hour. One star is needed to pass.

There is a bonus progress action tied to Duncan. Prioritizing it should save you a bit of energy.

Once you are done, you’ll need to cast Lacarnum Inflamari on either Snape or Filch to set their cloaks on fire. This choice won’t affect the overall story but will be referenced later on.

When you make up your mind, Duncan will distract them while you cast the spell.

You’ll then witness quite a funny scene involving the victim of your prank.

Apparently, this will be chaotic enough to get Peeves to appear.

After talking to him for a bit, you’ll realize that you’ll have to do much more in order to convince him to hand over the vault portrait to you.

The next task requires you to go to the Grand Staircase.

Upon arriving, you’ll notice the speech bubbles above some of your friends. Tap on those to interact with them if you are interested to see what they have to say.

Peeves will then reveal his plan to you.

In case you completed Call to Knighthood adventure, it will be referenced here.

Shortly after that, you’ll approach Sir Cadogan. He’ll be curious to know the reason for your visit and you have three options to respond with. Each of those will eventually lead to the same outcome, so feel free to pick the one you prefer.

You’ll then get the task to annoy Sir Cadogan. Completing it requires earning five stars within three hours. One star is needed to pass.

There are bonus progress actions tied to Sir Cadogan and your character. Focus on those if you want to save energy.

When you are done, Sir Cadogan will be quite angry at you.

Needless to say, Peeves will be very pleased with the outcome.

For the next task, you should proceed to the Training Grounds.

When you get there, you’ll talk to the poltergeist for a bit before he reveals his plan to you. Apparently, he wants you to fight Kettleburn’s Chimaera.

The task window will display the recommended attribute levels and the cost of each attempt.

Most of the time, Chimaera will go either Aggressive or Defensive. This is why it is highly recommended to go Defensive.

Try not to go Aggressive or Sneaky at all because if Chimaera goes Defensive, it might stun you for two turns, which can be really difficult to deal with. The safest option is to simply go Defensive on every turn and blast it with Bombarda until you win.

Once you are victorious, Professor Kettleburn, Liz, and Barnaby will arrive to help you.

Professor Kettleburn will give Chimaera a steak which will calm it down.

Next, you’ll need to head to the Kitchens and cause some chaos there.

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

You’ll notice Merula standing there, waiting for you. It appears that Madam Rakepick wants to know if you’ve managed to locate Peeves.

After explaining everything to her, she’ll want to know your next move. You can choose whether you want to cooperate with Peeves or challenge him.

Both options will lead to a pretty similar outcome, with some minor dialogue differences, so feel free to pick the one you prefer.

Not long after that, Peeves will appear and ask you to start a food fight.

If you chose to cooperate, you’ll throw some food at Merula. Otherwise, Peeves will do it instead. In both cases, her reaction will be priceless.

This will initiate the food fight.

To complete this task, you’ll need to earn five stars within eight hours. Only one star is needed to pass. Keep in mind there is a waiting period before the next task, so it is highly recommended to fully complete this one.

Some of the dialogue lines here are quite hilarious, so be sure to check them out. Also, there are actions with bonus progress linked to Jae, Merula, and your character.

Once the food fight is over, Peeves will explain the next part of his plan to you. By the looks of it, he wants you to cause chaos in the Prefects’ bathroom.

So, basically, you’ll need a suitable prank item. The best place to search for one is Zonko’s. However, there is a waiting period of three hours before you can proceed.

When the waiting time is over, head to Zonko’s Joke shop to look for a prank item.

Upon arriving, you’ll notice the speech bubbles above some of the characters. Tap on those in order to interact with them and see what they have to say.

Tonks and Tulip will mention the prank you pulled earlier in the courtyard.

Tonks will ask if you’d prefer having others know of your deeds or not. This choice won’t affect the story much, so feel free to pick the option you prefer.

Shortly after, you’ll get the task to find the perfect prank. This task requires you to earn five stars within three hours. One star is needed to pass.

Be sure to slide the screen left and right in order to see all the available actions. There is a bonus progress action tied to Bilton. Prioritizing it should save you a bit of energy.

When you are done, you’ll decide to get the Frog Spawn soap.

Next, you should head to the Prefects’ Bathroom to meet Bill.

Shortly after arriving, he’ll ask if you’re only pulling the prank to get the vault portrait from Peeves. You have two response options, each leading to a similar outcome.

Bill will leave shortly after, and you’ll throw some Frog Spawn soap in the bath.

Moments later, Duncan and Peeves will appear, eager to see how your prank plays out. As it turns out, the victim of your prank is none other than Charlie!

Observing the prank is a task that requires earning five stars within three hours. One star is needed to pass.

There are two bonus progress actions tied to your character. Prioritize them if you want to save energy.

When you are done, you’ll notice dozens of frogs appearing near Charlie. Needless to say, his reaction will be quite hilarious.

Peeves will be quite pleased by this turn of events. He’ll decide to reward you with the portrait. Sadly, it’s not the one you were expecting.

In order to get the vault portrait, you’ll need to do some grand mischief, something that will affect the entire school.

With that being said, Chapter 22 of Year 5 will come to an end. Hit the Collect button to claim your rewards. You will receive 250 Coins and 2000 Experience points.

What kind of prank will you need to pull out in order to please Peeves and finally get him to give you the vault portrait? Find out in the next chapter of Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery!
