More Than Just a Mascot Side Quest

Hello everyone, welcome to our Walkthrough for More Than Just a Mascot Side Quest of Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery. This is another creature-related side quest, and completing it will allow you to increase your friendship level with Hagrid. This side quest is available for students of Year 6 and above, and in order to complete it, you will need to adopt Hebridean Black dragon. Once you start the quest, Hagrid will ask you to meet with him in his garden, so proceed there when you are ready.

You will wonder why Hagrid wanted to see you.

He will introduce you to his friend, Martin MacFusty of the MacFusty clan from the Hebrides Islands.

You will politely greet Mr. MacFusty.

He will say that his visit is about one of his Hebridean Blacks.

You will immediately recall that Hebridean Blacks are dragons.

MacFusty will nod and say that they are quite the aggressive kind of dragons.

Hagrid will explain that the MacFusty clan has been looking after the Hebridean Blacks for many centuries.

MacFusty will nod and proudly say that they care for those creatures.

Still, you will find it odd that any fearsome dragon would require protection.

As it seems, there are plenty of poachers and fools that are a treat to the dragons.

MacFusty will tell you that one of their Hebridean Blacks has been stolen.

Hagrid will say that he wants to help his friend locate the missing dragon.

If you’ve had some experience with dragons before, you will get some additional lines of dialogue.

Hagrid will ask if you’d be willing to help him find the missing dragon.

You will gladly agree to assist him with tracking down MacFusty’s Hebridean Black.

However, you will ask him to tell you more about the case first.

Learning about the missing dragon requires earning five stars within three hours. Three stars are needed to pass.

There are quite a few 5-cost actions here, which should save you some energy.

According to MacFusty, the dragon was stolen by a Quidditch team named the “Banchory Bangers”.

He will be almost certain of it, since they have been trying to get one of the Hebridean Blacks for hundreds of years.

MacFusty will tell you some things about Banchory Bangers.

You will ask if he has any idea where the dragon might be.

Unfortunately, he won’t have a clue.

You will figure out that a large dragon such as Hebridean Black is not easy to hide.

Perhaps they are hiding the dragon in a place where no one would bother looking.

Hagrid will ask if you have any idea where they might be hiding Hebridean Black. There are three options to choose from. The correct answer is “The Romanian Dragon Sanctuary”.

If you completed Adventures in Curse-Breaking, you will get an additional line of dialogue.

Hagrid will suggest heading over to the Dragon Sanctuary as soon as possible.

Before you can continue, you will need to unlock Hebridean Black. You will need to have level 8 in Magizoology to do so. Also, to unlock this creature, you will need 75 Red, 45 Blue, and 40 Yellow Notebooks. Luckily, the side quest is not time-limited, so you can take your time to collect the required notebooks.

Proceed to the Dragon Sanctuary once you’ve unlocked the Hebridean Black.

As soon as you arrive, you will spot a dragon nearby.

Hagrid will say that his friend was right. The dragon was indeed stolen by the Banchory Bangers.

You will quickly decide to save the dragon.

You will approach the thief and loudly yell at him.

This will startle the man for a moment. He will turn around and notice Hagrid and you.

He will simply say that the dragon belongs to the Banchory Bangers.

Needless to say, neither Hagrid nor you will agree with his statement.

The man will introduce himself as Lachlan MacKenzie, the star Keeper of the Banchory Bangers.

He will make it clear that he is not planning to just let you take the dragon from him.

However, you won’t be willing to give up.

Lachlan will take out his wand and cast the Knockback Jinx on you.

As it seems, you will have to duel him in order to get back the dragon.

The task window will display the recommended attribute levels, as well as the cost of the duel. Hit Start when you are ready to begin.

The attribute requirements for this duel will be fairly close to your attribute levels, which will make it pretty challenging. There are a few ways to approach this duel. One way involves going either Aggressive or Sneaky, and blasting the enemy with Depulso or Flipendo. That way, you can win the duel in three turns with a bit of luck. Another tactic would involve going Aggressive during the first turn and using Incendio. If you get the burning effect, you can go Aggressive or Sneaky during the second turn and use Depulso or Flipendo. That way, you can win the duel in just two turns. However, if you don’t get the burn effect, or if you get stunned, you might end up losing. Still, with a bit of luck, you should be able to win the duel.

Once you defeat Lachlan MacKenzie, he will decide to retreat. However, he will promise to come back and bring his mates with him.

Thankfully, you’ve managed to drive off the thief and save MacFusty’s dragon.

Hagrid will assume that you’ve never seen a Hebridean Black before.

You will gaze at the magnificent creature and say that this is your first time seeing it.

Hagrid will be curious to hear your opinion on the dragon. There are three options to reply with. This choice won’t significantly impact the story, so feel free to choose whichever option you prefer.

Hagrid will suggest approaching the creature very carefully and lead it to safety.

Unfortunately, as soon as you approach the dragon, it will back off into a nearby cave.

Hagrid will figure out that you still need to earn the dragon’s trust.

You will suddenly get an idea.

You’ll suggest feeding the dragon in order to earn its trust.

Hagrid will like your idea.

You’ll ask him about the food that would be appropriate for the dragon.

According to Hagrid, dragons like to eat venison. He will ask if you know anyone with access to the kitchens.

Given how much time Jae spends in the kitchens, it might be a good idea to ask him for help.

Proceed to the Mountaintop Cave once you are ready to continue.

Once you arrive, you will spot the dragon standing in the cave.

Hagrid will say that he certainly hopes Jae will bring the food soon.

You will be confident that your friend won’t let you down.

Moments later, Jae will arrive.

You will be very glad to see him.

He’ll say that he’d rather feed dragons than serving detention in the kitchens.

You’ll ask if he managed to smuggle some venison from the kitchens.

Unfortunately, there was no deer meat in the kitchens.

Hagrid will ask if he managed to find a suitable replacement.

Jae will say that he brought a few different options, since he wasn’t quite sure what dragons eat.

He’ll say that he got some cucumber sandwiches, some steaks, and some treacle tart. You will be able to choose the food you think the dragon might enjoy eating. The correct answer here is “Steaks”.

Hagrid will agree that giving the steak to Hebridean Black is a good idea.

Shortly after, you will get to feed the dragon.

Feeding the dragon requires earning five stars within eight hours. All five stars are needed to pass.

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

Once you are done, you will give the dragon one last steak.

You’ll notice that the creature is starting to feel comfortable around you.

Jae will say that it is likely because of the food.

You will thank him for his help.

Hagrid will remind you that you still need to lead the Hebridean Black to a safe location before the Bangers return.

You will suggest taking the dragon to the Training Grounds at Hogwarts.

Hagrid will like that idea

You will also decide to ask Charlie for help.

Next, you will need to reach level 3 trust with the Hebridean Black. Since this side quest is not time-limited, you can don’t need to rush it.

Head to the Training Grounds once you are done with that.

You will thank Charlie for agreeing to help you.

He’ll say that he is always happy to help a dragon in need. He will wonder how you ended up looking after the Hebridean Black.

You’ll tell him that you saved the creature from dragon-nappers.

You will go on and explain everything.

Charlie will be fascinated by the creature.

Your previous choice will take effect here.

While you did manage to bond with the dragon, you will notice that it is still not completely comfortable around you.

Charlie won’t be surprised by it, especially after hearing what the dragon went through.

On top of that, the Hebridean Black is far away from its home.

You will ask Charlie if he has any tips to help you bond with the dragon.

Luckily, he might be able to help you with that.

Getting dragon tips requires earning five stars within three hours. Three stars are needed to pass.

There are two 5-cost actions tied to Charlie. Focus on his actions if you want to save some energy.

You will thank Charlie for helping you.

You will sum up the most important tips he gave you.

He will also remind you not to sneak up on the dragon.

You will then get to give it a try.

Luckily, the dragon will start to feel more comfortable around you.

Charlie will be happy about that.

You will admit that you are still worried that Banchory Bangers might come after the dragon.

Charlie will agree that the two of you probably won’t stand a chance against them.

You will suggest asking some of your friends to help you defend the Hebridean Black.

Charlie will like that idea.

He’ll tell you he saw Cedric Diggory in the courtyard while he was on his way to meet with you.

You’ll decide to head there while Charlie keeps an eye on the dragon.

Hopefully, Cedric will agree to help you defend Hebridean Black from the dragon-nappers.

Proceed to the Courtyard when you are ready.

Upon arriving, you will notice the speech bubbles above some of the characters. Tap on those if you are curious to see what they have to say.

Cedric will wonder why you wanted to meet with him.

You’ll say that you need his help with an urgent matter.

You’ll go on and tell him about everything that happened recently.

Still, Cedric will be curious to know why you are telling him all of that.

You will ask him to help you protect the Hebridean Black from the dragon-nappers.

Cedric will say that he’s happy to help you protect the dragon.

However, he will wonder why you haven’t asked his father for help. After all, Amos Diggory works for the Ministry of Magic, and he would definitely be very helpful with such a matter.

Unfortunately, time is of the essence, and reaching out to the Ministry is not an option.

You will ask Cedric if you can count on his support.

He’ll nod and say that he will do his best to help.

He will ask if you are confident that you can defeat the Bangers and protect the dragon. There are two options to choose from. If you want to encourage Cedric, it is recommended to pick the second option.

Cedric will suggest making a solid defense strategy.

You’ll like his suggestion.

Planning the defense strategy requires earning five stars within three hours. All five stars are needed to pass, so avoid starting this task if your energy is low.

There are 5-cost actions linked to Cedric and your character. Focus on those if you want to save some energy.

You will manage to come up with a solid defense strategy.

Your previous choice will take effect here.

Shortly after, the two of you will head to the Training Grounds.

Proceed there when you are ready.

Once you arrive, you will notice that the Bangers are already there.

Their captain will demand that you hand over the dragon to them.

You will make it perfectly clear that you are planning to return the Hebridean Black back to MacFustys.

Lachlan will laugh at you and say that you don’t stand a chance against him and his mates. There are two options for you to reply with. Both of these will end up with a similar outcome, so feel free to pick whichever option you prefer.

Moments later, the Bangers will attack.

Defending the dragon requires earning five stars within eight hours. All five stars are needed to pass.

There is a 5-cost action tied to the Hebridean Black. Prioritize it whenever it is available to save some energy.

After a long battle, you will end up defeating the Bangers.

However, Lachlan won’t be willing to accept defeat.

The Hebridean Black will roar loudly, and the Bangers will decide to run away.

In the end, the dragon-nappers won’t be able to get their hands on the Hebridean Black.

Moments later, Hagrid will arrive. He will ask if anything happened during his absence.

Charlie and you will tell him about what happened.

The Hebridean Black will approach you and express its gratitude for everything you’ve done.

Needless to say, you will feel incredibly happy after getting the chance to pet the dragon.

Hagrid will say that the creature definitely likes you.

He’ll also tell you that MacFusty is on his way to collect his dragon.

You will feel slightly sad about having to part with the Hebridean Black.

Luckily, you will be able to spend some more time with the dragon until MacFusty arrives.

To complete the next task, you will need to reach the max level of trust with the Hebridean Black.

This might take a while, but given that the side quest is not time-limited, you don’t need to rush it.

Head to the Quidditch Pitch once you are ready to continue.

MacFusty will be happy to see his dragon again.

He will wholeheartedly thank you for everything you’ve done to help.

You will humbly say that you weren’t the only one who protected the Hebridean Black.

Hagrid will disagree and say that you’re the true hero.

You will admit that you are going to miss the Hebridean Black.

MacFusty will chuckle and say that most people are afraid of dragons.

However, you aren’t like most people, and you quickly became friends with the magnificent creature.

MacFusty will be surprised to hear that.

You’ll decide to show him how well the dragon and you are getting along.

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 you are low on energy.

There are 5-cost actions tied to your character and the dragon. Prioritize those if you want to save as much energy as possible.

After your demonstration, MacFusty will realize that the dragon likes you a lot.

You’ll say that you are very fond of the Hebridean Black.

You will then tell him about the recent events.

Hagrid will also say a few words.

He will be curious to know which part of the whole adventure was your favorite. There are three options to choose from. There are no wrong answers here, simply select the part you enjoyed the most.

After realizing how much the dragon and you care for each other, MacFusty will decide to let the Hebridean Black stay at Hogwarts. That way, you will be able to continue watching over it.

You will be incredibly happy to hear that.

Hagrid will also be glad about MacFusty’s decision.

You will thank him for his kind words.

You’ll also promise to take great care of the Hebridean Black.

This will mark the end of More Than Just a Mascot Side Quest. Hit the Collect button to claim your rewards.
