In Hogwarts Legacy, there are 43 main quests for you to complete, plus over a dozen side quests. Not to mention the various parts of the map for you to explore, including the castle. Needless to say, you won’t be running out of things to do any time soon.

Due to the size of the map and the different secrets there are hidden throughout, sometimes it can be difficult to know where to go or what to do. You may have a few of these moments when completing The High Keep quest. However, the answer might be right in front of you.

About High Keep Quest

This is the 27th main quest and once you progress far enough into the game, you will see it under the quests tab. Keep in mind you must have level 17 in Wingardium Leviosa. The overall objective is to find a letter in Falbarton Castle that could expose Harlow and Rookwood. Keep an eye out for any easter eggs as there are dozens hidden throughout the game.

Meet Natty Near Falbarton Castle

After you select The High Keep quest, you must meet Natty near Falbarton Castle. The quest marker should lead you right to this location. It will be northeast of Hogwarts and if you have it unlocked, the East Hogsmeade Valley fast travel point will be near where you have to travel to. Once there, you will see the marker where you must stand next to the wagon, and she will come out from hiding. When you finish the dialogue with her, you must now infiltrate the castle.

How To Open The Main Gate

You’ll notice that the main gate is locked. There is no point in searching the surrounding area for a key as there doesn’t seem to be one in that vicinity. Instead, you’re going to have to find a way to climb the walls of the battlements to get past the gate.

The Pensieve Guardian Is one of the major story bosses in Hogwarts Legacy. This guide will help you take it down.

How To Climb The Battlements

Head down the path to the right of the wagon where you were speaking with Natty. Against the castle wall, you will come to a bunch of wooden crates and miscellaneous objects that you can climb. To the right of this you can grab some Ashwinder Eggs before you start climbing. After you climb up onto the ledge of the Gatehouse, you must find your way inside.

When you get to the top of the Battlements, you’ll notice the closed gate to the Gatehouse. You’ll want to hit the switch with Depulso. When the gate rises, use Wingardium Leviosa to drag the crates out. Don’t forget to loot the furthest crate against the wall before taking the one in front.

To the right of the gate you have just opened, if you look up you will see along the stone wall there is a ledge you must climb up to. Set the first crate below this ledge, then cast Leviosa to climb on the levitating box.

How To Enter The Gatehouse

Use Revelio in the room you just climbed into and collect any objects that may be hidden. Head out down the path to your left, then veer to your right. You will see a wooden pallet leaning up against the wall of the castle on your left. Use Depulso to destroy it but don’t go in quite yet.

To move the crate that blocks your path, continue down the wooden path, and you’ll come to an open window. From here, you can cast Accio on the chest to move it away from your entrance. Now, head back to the hole in the wall and make your way inside.

Open The Gate For Natty

The switch in front of the gate will need to be hit with multiple spells in order to lift the gate for Natty. You must cast Depulso on it multiple times and once the gate is raised, quickly use Accio on the ring you see on the wall, so you can stop the gate from completely closing. If you’re having difficulty casting Accio fast enough, try using Glacius after hitting it with Depulso twice then cast Accio. This will give Natty enough room to get inside.

You must now follow Natty who will open the locked door in the room you’re in. Head up the stairs but take caution as three Dark Wizards are about to come crashing out casting spells at the Hippogriff named Highwing. Once men head back inside, you must find another way inside. Natty will continue on her own, leaving you alone.

Get To The Roof

To the right of the closed gate, climb the wooden ledges and up into the castle. Cast Revelio to see the positions of the enemies. Straight ahead will be a crate that you can use Depulso or another spell on to make it drop to the ground. Find the nearby stairs and head to the bottom level to loot the crate. Grab the crate using Wingardium Leviosa to drag it to the right and in front of another ledge. Use Leviosa to levitate it and climb up to that ledge.

You might have to use the broken stairs behind you to jump up on the crate. Use Revelio again to see the positions of the enemies. One might be walking through the door straight ahead of you, so proceed with caution. Before he can turn on you, it’s best to take him out. Levioso followed by Diffindo would be good spells to use.

Don’t forget to loot that nearby room he came out of before you head up the stairs ahead of you. Another Dark Wizard may greet you at the top of the stairs and you must act quickly. Utilize Glacius followed by Diffindo to take him out quickly. There should be two more Dark Wizards down the path on the left of you when you make it up the stairs. Quickly take them out to continue progressing. Once they’re dealt with, use Alohomora on the locked door to your left.

After you find any loot, climb up to the ledge through the opening that was to the right of you when you walked in the room. Follow the tracker and go up the stairs to your left at the end of the hallway. A Poacher Ranger will spawn once you reach the top of the stairs. When you defeat them, a few more Poacher Rangers will appear, take them out too. Use Alohomora on the locked door to your left.

Go through the door on your right and you’ll find the Poachers Inventory List. Rescue the 2 Puffskeins and Niffler while in this room. Head all the way up the stairs, looting as you go. At the very top of the stairs, you will see another wooden pallet for you to destroy on your right. Crouch down and carefully make your way across the wooden planks to the next room. In this room you will find a letter from Manfred to Astrid as well as some loot.

Head back the way you came, go straight, then, veer to the left to continue up some more stairs. You will then finally make your way to the roof and find Highwing sitting there along with another Hippogriff. You might need to have the flying mounts unlocked, but if you’re this far in the main quest line, you probably already have it unlocked.

Hogwarts Legacy is full of Challenges to complete. Here’s a list of all of them.

Follow Natty On Highwing

You will have a cut scene and Natty will appear. She will use Alohomora on the Hippogriff’s chains, but before mounting the second Hippogriff, it will get spooked by Theophilus Harlow and others running to stop you. Highwing will grab her as you fly off with him. When the cutscene finishes, Natty will be on the other Hippogriff and you must follow her on Highwing.

As you’re flying, you’ll notice the Hogwarts Express below you. The two of you will follow the train until you reach the water. Continue to follow Natty until you both eventually land. There will be another cut scene speaking with Natty, and she will tell you that she was able to retrieve the letter right out of Harlow’s hands. When she flies off, the quest will be completed.

Rewards

Once the quest is completed, you will have 3 new items unlocked, including Highwing, Sepulchria, and Caligo. You will also be notified that new beasts inventory slots have been unlocked. Remember you can also breed beasts in this game as well, so this reward could be very useful.
