Chapter 32 – Quest For Polyjuice Potion

ADVERTISEMENT

Introduction

Hello everyone, welcome to our Walkthrough for Chapter Thirty-Two of Year Six of Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery. In the previous chapter, Mad-Eye Moody advised you to take your plan to spy on ‘R’’s meeting to the next level. Instead of simply eavesdropping, the plan is now to infiltrate their meeting posing as one of their own members. And so far, the only member of ‘R’ you know of is Patricia Rakepick.

You decided to ask Penny to help you brew the Polyjuice Potion that will hopefully allow you to assume Rakepick’s identity. However, brewing that potion isn’t easy, and you’ll need to gather a lot of difficult-to-find ingredients.

Walkthrough

But before that, you should take care of the lessons. Proceed to the Transfiguration classroom when you are ready. Unlocking Puffskein to Paperweight requires earning nine stars from the Transfiguration classes. As usual, select the class duration you prefer and hit Start once you’re ready to begin.

year 6 chapter 32 1040

Prioritize completing bonus progress actions if you are looking to save some energy. 

year 6 chapter 32 1050

Each of the mini-tasks will grant you some extra Knowledge points, so try your best to complete them successfully.

year 6 chapter 32 1060

Head back to the classroom once you acquire enough stars to unlock the lesson. Learning how to transfigure Puffskein to Paperweight requires earning five stars within three hours. Since all five stars are needed to pass, avoid starting this lesson if you are low on energy.

year 6 chapter 32 1080

Pay attention to some of Professor McGonagall’s questions.

year 6 chapter 32 1090

Upon earning the fifth star, you will be tasked with performing this transfiguration. Trace the wand movement to cast the spell.

year 6 chapter 32 1100

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

year 6 chapter 32 1120

Proceed to the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom for the second lesson of the chapter. To unlock the Imperturbable Charm lesson you need to obtain nine stars from Defence Against the Dark Arts classes. Like before, select the class duration suitable to your liking and hit Start to begin.

year 6 chapter 32 1140

Once again, prioritize actions with bonus progress in order to save some energy. 

year 6 chapter 32 1150

Each of the mini-tasks will grant you some extra Courage points, so try your best to successfully complete them.

year 6 chapter 32 1160

Return to the classroom once you earn enough stars to unlock the lesson. Learning the Imperturbable Charm requires obtaining five stars within three hours. All of the stars are needed to pass, which is why you shouldn’t start this lesson if your energy bar is empty.

year 6 chapter 32 1180

Some of the mini-tasks are unique to this lesson, so pay close attention to those.

year 6 chapter 32 1190

Once you earn all five stars, you’ll be tasked with performing Imperturbable Charm. Trace the wand movement to do so.

year 6 chapter 32 1200

Hit the Collect button to claim your rewards. You’ll earn an additional reward for completing the lesson. You can collect it in the Defence Against the Dark Arts section of your Hogwarts Record.

year 6 chapter 32 1220

Now that the lessons are out of the way, you can proceed with gathering the remaining ingredients for the Polyjuice Potion. When you arrive Chiara will find your plan to infiltrate ‘R’’s meeting very dangerous and Diego will agree with her.

year 6 chapter 32 1260

Also, he will not agree with your idea of ​​impersonating Rakepick. Shortly after, Chiara will ask you an interesting question. Both of the response options will lead to a similar outcome, so feel free to pick either one.

year 6 chapter 32 1280

Shortly after, Penny will provide you with a list of the ingredients you still need to gather, which include powdered Bicorn horn, knotgrass, and fluxweed. During this time, Chiara will share some intriguing information about fluxweed.

year 6 chapter 32 1310

She will add that only fluxweed picked under a full moon works in a Polyjuice Potion. Still, Diego won’t be sure if going out to Forbidden Forest during a full moon is a good idea. Thankfully, Chiara will have your back.

year 6 chapter 32 1350

Penny will remind you that there is another very important ingredient to collect, which is a little piece of the person the taker intends to imitate. Obtaining something that belonged to Rakepick might pose quite a challenge. For now, you should focus on gathering the other ingredients. Gathering knotgrass requires earning five stars within an hour. Only one star is needed to pass.

year 6 chapter 32 1400

For this task, it is somewhat recommended to earn a single star and let the timer expire. This can save you up to 30 energy, which is no small amount. However, if you want the chance to earn Chocolate Frogs, it is recommended to fully complete this task.

year 6 chapter 32 1410 1

Once you are done, you’ll gather more than enough knotgrass. Still, there is another thing you should worry about and that is the empty pots you left. Professor Sprout will certainly know someone was rooting through her plants. If you completed Valentine’s Day at Hogwarts Adventure, you will remember the Herbivicus Charm.

year 6 chapter 32 1440 1
year 6 chapter 32 1450

Trace the wand movement to cast the spell.

year 6 chapter 32 1460

Herbivicus Charm will work, and the missing knotgrass will be replaced.

year 6 chapter 32 1470

In case you didn’t complete Valentine’s Day at Hogwarts adventure, you’ll quickly leave the place before Professor Sprout arrives. In any case, you’ll decide to head to the Forest Grove next.

Go there when you are ready to continue. When you arrive, you will look for Talbott. Moments later, your friend will make the grand entrance.

year 6 chapter 32 1510

Apparently, Penny told him about your plan.

year 6 chapter 32 1530
year 6 chapter 32 1540

You’ll inform him that fluxweed needs to be gathered under a full moon, and you will comment that the moon looks as full. Talbott will add that which also means that you need to be extra careful because where there’s a full moon there’s bound to be werewolves. Thankfully, Talbott already scouted the surrounding area.

After talking for a while, Talbott will ask if you are feeling any better. There are three options to pick from. These choices won’t impact the story in any significant way, so feel free to select whichever one you prefer.

year 6 chapter 32 1590

Shortly after, you will get to gather fluxweed. This requires earning five stars within eight hours.

year 6 chapter 32 1600

There are bonus actions linked to both Talbott and your character. These should save you a bit of energy.

year 6 chapter 32 1610

Once you are done collecting fluxweed, you will notice a werewolf lurking in the shadows. Talbott will raise his wand and step forward.

year 6 chapter 32 1630

Thankfully, you will recognize the werewolf right away.

year 6 chapter 32 1640

You will say that a werewolf is a warning that danger is coming and Talbott will get confused, but you will keep Chiara’s secret and avoid his question.

year 6 chapter 32 1670

There will be a waiting period of two hours before you can meet with Penny at the Library. Since you are likely low on energy at this point, it is recommended to wait until the timer runs out.

year 6 chapter 32 1680

Proceed to the Library once the waiting time is over. Upon arriving, you will get to interact with some of the characters and check out what they have to say. You’ll happily tell Penny the good news.

year 6 chapter 32 1710

Unfortunately, she didn’t have much luck gathering the ingredients. As it seems, Professor Snape is well aware of your plan to brew the Polyjuice Potion. Penny will say that whenever she tried to sneak in, Snape always showed up to stop her. She thinks he’s trying to keep her from getting the last ingredients for your potion. To make matters worse, Madam Pince is keeping an eye on the Restricted Section.

year 6 chapter 32 1760

You will then get to choose if you want to tell Penny the truth about what happened earlier in the Library. If you like her, it is recommended to be honest and admit it was you.

year 6 chapter 32 1770

Shortly after, you will decide to create a distraction so Penny can sneak into the Restricted Section. Trace the wand movement to cast the Blue Sparks.

year 6 chapter 32 1790

The spell will work as intended and will quickly grab the attention of everyone in the library.

year 6 chapter 32 1800

That includes Madam Pince, and you’ll apologize to her with a cheeky smile, knowing that she’s aware of your previous library prank. She will scold you for your misbehavior in the Library.

year 6 chapter 32 1840

Once again, you will act as if you don’t know what she’s talking about.

year 6 chapter 32 1860

Keeping Madam Pince distracted requires earning five stars within three hours. Only one star is needed to pass.

year 6 chapter 32 1870

There are reward actions linked to Madam Pince and your character, which will make it slightly easier to complete this task.

year 6 chapter 32 1880

In the end, the Librarian won’t be able to prove that you pranked her before. However, she did see you casting Blue Sparks in the library, and that is strictly against the rules.

year 6 chapter 32 1920

In other words, this will earn you detention. Shortly after, Penny will let you know that she successfully found the recipe instructions and express her apologies for your detention due to helping her. Fortunately, you might find a way to use this situation to your advantage.

year 6 chapter 32 1960

Penny will be confused and you will tell her that you have feelings the person you find there can help get the next ingredient for you Polyjuice Potion. Head to the Kitchens once you are ready to continue. When you arrive, you’ll be able to interact with some of the house elves and check out what they have to say. Jae will be very happy to see you arrive.

year 6 chapter 32 2010

Merula will also comment on what you did in the Library.

year 6 chapter 32 2020

You’ll be surprised to see her in detention and she will ask if you know why she’s in the Kitchens. There are three options to pick from. The correct answer is “You were hungry”.

year 6 chapter 32 2040

Surprisingly enough, the Most Powerful Witch at Hogwarts will praise Jae’s cooking skills.

year 6 chapter 32 2050

You will fill them in on your plan, you will say that Penny and you are making a Polyjuice Potion so that you can sneak into ‘R’ upcoming meeting at Borgin and Burkes. You’ll add that you have most of the ingredients, but you still need Bicorn horn powder and you’ll ask Jae if he could acquire some Bicorn horn powder for you.

year 6 chapter 32 2100

Jae will say that Alistair was quite chuffed when he asked him how things worked out with the Love Potion. He will say that he feels like they are becoming real friends, and luckily, he might be able to get you the missing ingredient for the Polyjuice Potion.

Shortly after, Merula will be surprised that you didn’t tell her your plan, and you’ll decide to quickly inform her about it. This requires earning five stars within three hours. Three stars are needed to pass.

year 6 chapter 32 2150

The only bonus action here is tied to your character. Prioritize it if you want to save some energy.

year 6 chapter 32 2160

After you’ve finished explaining, Merula will summarize that to infiltrate ‘R’s meeting as a member of the cabal, you need to appear as one of them. She’ll also mention that the only member of ‘R’ you know is Rakepick. You’ll confirm that your plan involves impersonating Rakepick, but you still require the final ingredient.

year 6 chapter 32 2210

Jae will raise the obvious question of where you plan to obtain that ingredient, given that she has been absent for a while. As it seems, Merula has a general idea of where to look for the final ingredient and she will suggest you go to the Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Unfortunately, you will have to wait two hours before you can continue. Since you will likely be low on energy at this point, it is recommended to wait and let your energy recharge in the meantime.

year 6 chapter 32 2240

Proceed to the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom once the waiting time is over. Bill will be surprised to see Merula and you arrive so early.

year 6 chapter 32 2270

Merula will laugh at his assumption.

year 6 chapter 32 2280

Suddenly, Ben will appear and say he’s arrived for Bill’s lesson.

year 6 chapter 32 2290

Merula will burst into laughter after hearing this.

year 6 chapter 32 2300

This will confuse poor Ben. He’ll ask if you also think he’s a geek. If you like Ben, it is recommended to defend him. On the other hand, if you like Merula more, you can take her side.

year 6 chapter 32 2310

Shortly after, you will tell Bill why you came to the classroom, which is that you are looking for a piece of Rakepick. Ben will think that it’s about the Polyjuice Potion you and Penny are brewing to infiltrate into ‘R’s meeting.

year 6 chapter 32 2340

Bill will actually like your plan and immediately offer to help you look, and he’ll add that he wants Rakepick brought to justice as much as any person at Hogwarts. Searching for a piece of Rakepick requires earning five stars within three hours. Since all five stars are needed to pass, it is not recommended to start this task if you are low on energy.

year 6 chapter 32 2370

The only bonus action here is linked to Bill. Focus on his actions if you want to save a bit of energy.

year 6 chapter 32 2380

When you are done searching, you will notice a red strand of hair on the ground.

year 6 chapter 32 2400

Ben will be curious and ask how you’re sure the hair came from Rakepick. Merula will agree with him, saying that Weasley’s hair is just flopping about all over the place. After looking closely, Bill will guess that the hair probably belonged to Rakepick. You’ll ask if he’s certain, and he’ll say Weasley’s hair is much more orange than the strand you found.

With all the ingredients collected, you can now begin making the Polyjuice Potion. You’ll have to wait three hours until Penny is ready. Since your energy is probably low at this point, it is recommended to wait until the timer expires and let your energy recharge in the meantime.

year 6 chapter 32 2470

Proceed to the Artefact Room once the waiting time is over. When you arrive you’ll thank Penny once again for helping you. Being as she is, your Hufflepuff friend will be more than happy to provide her assistance.

year 6 chapter 32 2500

You’ll also mention that none of this would be possible without the help of your friends. Then Penny will ask you an interesting question. There are three options to choose from. This choice won’t have any heavy influence on the story, so feel free to take your pick.

year 6 chapter 32 2530

Moments later, you will start brewing the Polyjuice Potion. This requires earning five stars within eight hours. All five stars are needed to pass.

year 6 chapter 32 2550

During this task, Penny’s actions will alternate between 3-cost and 5-cost. Because of that, focusing entirely on her actions can save you a lot of energy.

year 6 chapter 32 2560

Penny will happily announce that the initial stage of brewing the potion is done. Still, it will take a full month until the potion is finished.

year 6 chapter 32 2590

Luckily, ‘R’’s meeting is more than a month away, which is very fortunate. You’ll decide to use that time to learn how to act like Patricia Rakepick.

year 6 chapter 32 2610

With that being said, Chapter 32 of Year 6 will come to an end. Hit the Collect button to claim your rewards. You will receive 250 Coins and 2000 Experience Points.

Will you be able to learn how to impersonate Rakepick before ‘R’’s meeting? Find out in the next chapter of Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery!
