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 ofwooden crates and miscellaneous objectsthat 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 Leviosato 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 seea wooden pallet leaningup 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 Accioon 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 mustcast Depulso on it multiple timesand once the gate is raised, quickly use Accio on the ring you see on the wall, so you’re able to 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 nowfollow Natty who will open the locked doorin 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 may 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 crateusing Wingardium Leviosa to drag itto 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 betwo 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.
