Jackdaw's Rest
In this walkthrough for Hogwarts Legacy, we'll give you the complete tutorial for the main quest: Jackdaw's Rest.
It's important to note that to access the quest: Jackdaw's Rest, you'll need to have completed the side quest: Professor Hecat's Assignment 2 to learn the Expelliarmus spell. This is the prerequisite for this main quest.
Learn Expelliarmus
To learn this spell, you'll need to complete several tasks:
- Dodge enemy attacks by rolling (10 times).
- Throw Incendio at enemies (5 times). * You learned Incendio during the main quest: The Locket's Secret, since you had to complete the secondary quest: Professor Hecat's Assignment I at that point.
To find enemies, take a walk outside the school. In the south or north of Hogwarts, for example. You'll see red arrows on your little map - these are enemies you can attack to practice your spells and dodges.
- Explore to open safes and use Revelio to identify them more easily.
Once you've completed these tasks, head to the Defense Against the Dark Arts Class to learn the Expelliarmus spell.
Jackdaw's Rest
Once you've completed the side-quest: Professor Hecat's Assigment 2 and learned the Expelliarmus spell, head for Jackdaw near the Forbidden Forest.
Choucas will give you some hints on how to find the cave in which Choucas died. This is also where you'll find the missing pages you're looking for. All you need to do is find the landmarks to get there: a stone bridge, a waterfall and a lake.
- Explore to open safes and use Revelio to identify them more easily.
At a certain point, Jackdaw will let you explore on your own. Follow the landmarks and when you arrive at a birdbath, whisper the password "Intra muros".
As the entrance to the cave opens, you'll be attacked by Ranrok's followers.
Once the enemies have been defeated, continue your exploration of the cave in which Jackdaw died. The missing pages are on Jackdaw's body somewhere in this cave.
- Explore to open chests and use Revelio to identify them more easily. And don't forget to pick up the resources on the ground. They could be useful for your potions classes or other courses.
You'll arrive at the first door. To open it, simply use your basic spell quickly on the 3 orbs near the door. The first time you unlock the door, stones will appear at the top of the water. Continue on your way.
Spider webs are blocking the path, so use the Incendio spell to burn the webs and move on. As you make your way through the cave, you'll come across many thorny Pathfinders. Eliminate them all with your spells to continue on your way.
You'll arrive at a second door. Same thing, use your basic throw quickly on the 3 orbs near the door. * The third orb is slightly hidden to the left of the other 2 orbs. The second door unlock will reveal more stones to form a bridge. Continue on your way.
Crouch down to pass under the stone and attack the thorny Pathfinders blocking your way. Continue on your way.
You'll see floating platforms. Use the Accio spell to approach the platform and climb up. Repeat to pull yourself to the other side and attack the thorny Pathfinders blocking your way. Cross the room using the floating platforms to discover chests, gold coins and Wiggenweld potions.
As you continue on your way, you will once again be attacked by the Thorny Shooters, who can inflict damage from a distance. Use your spells to attack and defend. Suddenly, 2 Thorny Matriarchs will appear. You must defeat them all to progress.
Heading upwards, you'll come across a third and final door. Repeat the same steps. Use your basic throw quickly on the 3 orbs near the door. * The third orb is hidden at the bottom, so you'll have to go down the small slope to find the 3rd orb at the bottom. This will create a bridge that will allow you to move on to the next stage.
Once you've reached the great hall, you'll find the missing pages on the floor. However, you'll notice that you're not alone. Several Pensive Sentinels will be making their appearance. You'll also come up against some Pensieve Protectors towards the end. Attack them all with your spells. * Explore the room to open the chests.
Once all the enemies have been defeated, head for the glow on the ground and examine the traces of ancient magic. This will reveal a portal. Enter and continue on your way.
The room is suddenly flooded. However, the ancient magic will protect you and allow you to continue on your way. Open the door in front of you. You'll find yourself in a large room with 4 golden arches on the wall, each revealing an animated portrait.
You'll also meet Percival Rackham, and talk to his portrait. He'll tell you that you'll have to return with the book.
Following your conversation with Percival Rackham, you'll unlock a new feature in the game. It's now possible to use talents. You'll receive 1 talent point each time your sorcery level increases. Spend your new talent points in the Talents menu of your Wizard's Field Guide.
Leave the map room. You'll find yourself back at Hogwarts. This concludes the quest: Jackdaw's Rest, making way for your next main quest in Hogwarts Legacy: Flying Class.
