Chapter 39

Hello everyone, welcome to our Walkthrough for Chapter Thirty-Nine of Year Six of Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery. Last time, you asked the Weird Sisters to hold a concert near the Black Lake. While they liked the idea, they told you that Kirley’s guitar has been confiscated by Mr. Filch. You immediately offered to retrieve it in return for them holding a concert at the lake. They agreed, and you used your wits and some cheeky charm to obtain the guitar. Later on, the Weird Sisters had an amazing rock concert at the lake, and even some of the merpeople were drawn by their music. One of those was the merwoman you met when you first entered the lake. Thankfully, this time she was much friendlier, and she waved at you to follow her into the lake. Once you went there, you asked the merwoman if she or any other merperson knows anything about the Cursed Vault. She introduced you to the Merqueen, and after talking to her, you learned that some of her treasures were damaged. You offered to bring her new versions of those items in exchange for her help with locating the final vault. Now is the time to look for the items in question, but before that, you should take care of the lessons. Proceed to the Potions classroom when you are ready.

To unlock the Essence of Insanity lesson, you need to earn nine stars from Potions classes. Select the class duration suitable to your liking and hit Start to begin.

If you want to save as much energy as possible, prioritize 5-cost actions whenever you see them available.

As for the mini-tasks, successfully completing each of these will award you some Knowledge points.

Return to the classroom once you earn enough stars to unlock the lesson.

Learning how to brew the Essence of Insanity requires obtaining five stars within three hours. All five stars are needed to pass, which is why you shouldn’t start this lesson if you are low on energy.

Pay attention to Professor Snape’s question during the lesson. Other than that, it is fairly similar to most of the usual classes.

Head to the Care of Magical Creatures to attend the second lesson of the chapter.

Unlocking the Golden Snidget lesson requires earning a total of nine stars from the Care of Magical Creatures classes. Choose the class duration you prefer and hit Start once you are ready to begin.

Like always, focus on 5-cost actions whenever they’re up. This will save you some energy.

Successfully completing each of the mini-tasks will award you some Courage points.

Return to the Care of Magical Creatures when you obtain enough stars to unlock the lesson.

To complete the Golden Snidget lesson, you need to earn five stars within three hours. Since all five stars are needed to pass, it is recommended not to start this lesson if your energy is low.

During this lesson, Professor Kettleburn will ask you a question about the Golden Snidget.

Upon earning the fifth star, you’ll be tasked with feeding this magical creature. Trace the path on the screen to do so.

Now that you’re done with the lessons, you can continue the story. Head to the Clocktower Courtyard to meet with your friends.

Upon arriving, you will be able to interact with some of the characters and see what they have to say to you.

As it appears, your friends already know about your trip into the Black Lake.

Chiara will say she is fascinated by the merpeople and their village.

As for Penny, she will find it hard to believe that you had the chance to meet the Merqueen.

Talbott will simply say that finding the final Cursed Vault should be your top priority, and he’s glad you managed to find a lead to it.

Penny will ask about your favorite part of going into the Black Lake. There are three options to reply with. While these won’t have any big influence on the story, picking each of the options will have your character agree with one of your friends. If you like Chiara, it is recommended to pick the first option. If you want to agree with Penny, you should go with the second option. Lastly, if you like Talbott, it is recommended to pick the third option.

You will tell your friends about the items you need to obtain for the Merqueen.

Hopefully, she will take you to the final Cursed Vault if you deliver those items to her.

Talbott will ask if you are certain that is the case.

Unfortunately, you won’t be able to say you are absolutely sure about it, but it is still the best chance you have.

You’ll also say you have the feeling that the Merqueen can be trusted.

By the looks of it, you’re not the only one who thinks that way.

You’ll then get to talk to your friends about the tribute items. This requires earning five stars within three hours. Since all five stars are needed to pass, it is recommended not to start this task if your energy bar is low.

There are two 5-cost actions linked to your character. Prioritize your own actions if you want to save as much energy as possible.

Penny will sum things up once you’re done discussing.

According to her, gathering these items will be fairly easy.

Talbott won’t be too sure about it. After all, finding a lyre that can easily be brought underwater might prove difficult.

Luckily, Chiara will come up with a practical solution to this problem.

Penny will suggest getting the comb last since that item should be the easiest one to procure.

And then, there is a matter of finding a jeweled necklace. Obtaining such an item might prove difficult.

Luckily, there might be a person who can help you with that.

Head to the Great Hall when you are ready to meet with Alanza.

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

You will thank Alanza for agreeing to have lunch with you.

She’ll be happy that you invited her.

You will assume that her popularity skyrocketed ever since the Weird Sisters concert.

Alanza will thank you for your kind words and point out that you also had a part in organizing the concert.

In any case, that concert was definitely a huge success.

And so was your meeting with the merpeople. You will inform Alanza about the items you need to gather in order to get the Merqueen to lead you to the final Cursed Vault. You’ll also ask if she could do you a favor.

You will ask if she could donate her jeweled necklace for the Merqueen.

She’ll say that she does have a jeweled necklace, but she isn’t really keen on giving it away.

You will then decide to try and persuade Alanza to help you.

To do that, you need to obtain five stars within an hour. Only one star is needed to pass.

Normally, it would be recommended to earn a single star and wait for the timer to run out. However, there is a waiting period afterward, which is why it is recommended to complete this task as soon as possible. It’s also worth pointing out that there are 5-cost actions linked to both Alanza and your character.

Alanza will agree that you have valid reasons for wanting to beat ‘R’ to the final vault.

She’ll also point out that you are far too preoccupied with your mission.

In other words, she will agree to give you the necklace on one condition.

She will ask you to tell her about one fun thing you’ve always wanted to do but never did. There are two options to pick from. Simply be honest with her, and pick the option you prefer.

Alanza will admit that you have a fun side, and she will agree to give you her jeweled necklace.

You will be very grateful to her for helping you.

Alanza will ask you about the next item on the list.

You’ll tell her you need to get a lyre. Hopefully, Jae may be able to help you with that.

You will need to wait three hours until Jae is ready to meet with you. Since you will most likely be low on energy at this point, it is recommended to wait and let your energy recharge in the meantime.

Proceed to the Kitchens once the waiting time is over.

You will greet Jae happily when you arrive.

You’ll also notice that Pitts is slightly angry at your friend.

You will ask him if you can have a moment alone with Jae.

Pitts will be surprised by your question. There are two options to try and convince him. Both of these will lead to a similar outcome, so feel free to pick either one.

Eventually, Pitts will agree to let Jae take a break.

Jae will thank you for convincing Pitts and he will ask if there is anything he can do for you.

You’ll inform him about your meeting with the Merqueen.

You will also tell him you need three tribute items.

Unfortunately, you have no clue where to find a lyre, so you will wonder if Jae can help you with that.

Jae will be glad that you are asking for his help. He will say that a lyre isn’t an easy item to procure.

Perhaps the two of you can try and figure out how to acquire the item in question.

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

There are two 5-cost actions linked to Jae. Prioritize his actions if you are looking to save some energy.

Jae will point out that finding a lyre might prove quite challenging.

You’ll agree with him and say that you are confident in his abilities to obtain one.

You will also point out the reason why you are doing this in the first place.

In the end, Jae will agree to get you the item you’re looking for.

He’ll also say that working in the Kitchens isn’t particularly fun, which is another reason he’s up for the task.

Now, you’ll need to find the easiest item on the list – a fancy comb.

Proceed to the Prefect’s Bathroom when you are ready to continue.

You will thank Charlie for agreeing to help you search the Prefect’s Bathroom.

As it appears, finding a fancy comb might prove to be more difficult than you initially thought it would be. For some weird reason, all of the combs in Hogwarts have disappeared.

You’ll say that you couldn’t find even a single comb so far.

According to Charlie, the other Circle of Khanna members had a similar problem.

You will inform him about your meeting with the Merqueen.

Thankfully, you managed to scratch two out of three items from that list.

Unfortunately, there’s another item you’ve yet to find, and without it, you won’t be able to fulfill your promise to the Merqueen.

Even worse, this could result in ‘R’ finding the final Cursed Vault before you.

Hopefully, you will be able to figure out where the combs went, or at least find someone who knows where they are.

Moments later, Duncan Ashe will show up. As it seems, he might know something about the missing combs.

He will ask if you are happy to see him again. There are two options to choose from. If you like Duncan, it is somewhat recommended to pick the first option. Otherwise, feel free to go with either one.

Charlie will ask if he knows anything about the missing combs.

Duncan will smile wickedly saying he might know something about it.

You will say it is very important that he tells you where the combs are.

You’ll then decide to tell him why you are looking for those combs.

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

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

Both Charlie and you will try your best to convince Duncan to tell you where the combs are.

Unfortunately, he won’t be willing to help you this time.

He’ll simply say you will have to solve this mystery on your own.

Shortly after, he will leave the Prefect’s Bathroom.

It looks like you’ll have to find another way to figure out where the combs are.

Still, you won’t be willing to give up easily.

Perhaps there is some clue sitting around the Prefect’s Bathroom.

Suddenly, you will notice Tulip’s toad, Dennis.

This will remind Charlie of the frog spawn prank you pulled on him before.

With Dennis being in the Prefect’s Bathroom, you will assume that Tulip has something to do with the missing combs.

Charlie will ask what you are planning to do next.

You’ll say you’re going to meet with Tulip and see if she has the combs.

Sadly, you will have to wait four hours until she’s ready to meet with you. Since you are likely low on energy at this point, it is recommended to wait and let your energy replenish in the meantime.

Proceed to the West Towers Corridor once the waiting time is over.

When you arrive, you will notice Tulip standing in the corridor, accompanied by the Weasley twins.

Dennis will happily hop to her, and she will be very pleased to see him.

Upon greeting them, you’ll say that Charlie and you found Dennis in the Prefect’s Bathroom.

You will also say it is very strange that Tulip’s toad ended up there.

Fred will calmly try to point out he knows nothing about it.

You’ll decide to be direct and ask them if they had anything to do with the missing combs.

The twins will feel offended by your question. Fred will ask if you are implying that they stole the combs. There are two options to reply with. Both of these will lead to the same outcome, so feel free to pick whichever one you prefer.

You will point out at the cauldron full of combs, and Tulip will tell the twins they did a lousy job hiding them.

George will say that they are planning to return all of the combs to their owners.

Apparently, they want to pull out a prank of epic proportions.

You will then get to talk to them. This requires earning five stars within eight hours. All five stars are needed to pass.

There are 5-cost actions linked to Fred and George. Prioritize their actions if you want to save some energy.

Your friends will give you some details about the prank they are planning.

You will admit that their prank does sound quite funny. After all, you were pranking other people more than once, so you know a thing or two when it comes to making mischief.

Still, you will ask them to give you one of the combs.

The twins will be against giving you the comb since that could diminish the potential of their prank.

You will tell them you need a comb in order to get to the final Cursed Vault.

Fred will be slightly sad once he hears your reason for needing one of the combs.

Thankfully, Tulip will take your side and she’ll tell the twins it is important to help you with this.

In the end, they will agree to let you take one of the combs.

You will thank them for their help.

Tulip will let you pick whichever comb you want from the cauldron.

You will look for a while before picking a fancy looking comb. Hopefully, it will be a suitable gift for the Merqueen.

You will wish your friends good luck with their prank before leaving the corridor.

Shortly after, Chapter 39 of Year 6 will conclude. Hit the Collect button to claim your rewards.

You now have two out of three tribute items for the Merqueen. You still need to wait for Jae to find a lyre. And since you’ll most likely go into the final Cursed Vault soon, it might be a good idea to prepare for it.
Thank you for reading and see you soon with another chapter of Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery!
