Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone - Strategy Guide (Page 03)
Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone - Strategy Guide (Page 03).
Traded # 52 Felix Summerbee for WIZARD CARD # 12 of 101 - Andros the Invincible - Ancient Greek - Alleged to have been the only known wizard to produce a Patronus the size of a giant - Number of Copies: 1 Traded # 71 Queen Maeve for WIZARD CARD # 79 of 101 - Oswald Beamish - 1850-1932 - Pioneer of Goblin Rights - Number of Copies: 1 Traded # 24 - Adalbert Waffling for WIZARD CARD # 20 of 101 - Wendelin the Weird - Medieval, dates unknown - Alleged to have enjoyed being burnt at the stake so much that she allowed herself to be captured 14 times in various disguises. And after all of that I got bored and quit trading for a while. Now, head out to the Entrance Hall and on to the Dungeons for potions class. In the Dungeon, I went to the right and through the gate into a storage type room and there is a GOLD CHEST in the middle of the room that will give you: WIZARD CARD # 63 of 101 - Herman Wintringham - 1974-present - Plays the lute with the popular Wizarding band the Weird Sisters - Number of Copies: 3 Run around this room and break A LOT of glass jars. Some of them are tricky to find. When you break them all, you will see a GOLD CHEST appear and it will give you: WIZARD CARD # 93 of 101 - Heathcote Barbary - 1974-present - Plays rhythm guitar with the popular Wizarding band the Weird Sisters - Number of Copies: 1 That is all there is to do in this room right now, so exit and go on down the passageway to where Hermione is waiting for you to go into Potions class. When you walk up to the door, IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ALL 3 POTION INGREDIENTS, Ron is blocking the door and says to you that Snape gives him the creeps and that you shouldn't go in without all the ingredients Snape asked you to bring. If you have all 3 ingredients, Ron will be standing with Hermione to the side of the door. Time to go to Potions class! Enter the Potions Class door and you will get a cut scene with Snape. He will tell you that you have found all of the ingredients and that you can now fill your vial in the large cauldron when you need to do so. He will ask Harry if he knows where to find a Bezoar. Harry does not know and Snape insults him as usual. Snape then explains that it is a kind of stone taken from the stomach of a goat and it will save you from most poisons. Snape goes on to explain that today's potion is a less powerful version of this is, The Antidote for Common Poisons. He then gives you a new ingredients list which includes the following 3 items: Puffapod Spores Flobberworm mucus Moondew He tells you to have all of the ingredients before returning for the next class. You see the students leave the class and then you regain control of Harry inside the Potions classroom. Fill up your vial if you need to and then exit the room. Outside the room you will have a cut scene with Ron where he says that Herbology class is next and that Herbology Greenhouse 1 is outside on the grounds. Now, exit the Dungeons through the door next to where Ron and Hermione are standing and head on outside to Herbology class! The Herbology greenhouse is out there close to the right of Hagrid's Hut. When you get to the outside of the greenhouse, Ron will tell Harry that Professor Sprout is waiting. He also says that he heard that you must watch out for the Venemous Tentacular. Go in the doors. You will then meet Professor Sprout...she is green! She says that you must go through the crawlspace and complete the Diffindo Challenge and get the Diffindo Spell Book. Harry will automatically crawl through the space and then you will regain control of Harry. Walk straight ahead through a doorway. At the end of the room, next to the open door, there is a book. Pick up the book. It is: FOLIO BRUTI VOLUME 1 Page 12 TROLLS Trolls are fearsome creatures and are often violent and unpredictable. They are particularly notable for their prodigious strength and prodigious stupidity. There are three types of troll: mountain, forest and river. The mountain troll is the largest and most vicious. Trolls can be disabled using Spongify. I also have another FOLIO BRUTI page which goes with this area but I have no recollection of where I found it. Oops. The info is as follows: FOLIO BRUTO VOLUME 1 PAGE 10 HORKLUMP The Horklump, considered a delicacy by gnomes, resembles a fleshy, pinkish mushroom. It is covered in sparse, wiry bristles and spreads sinewy tentacles into the ground to search for its preferred food: earthworms. Stun Horklumps with Flipendo, then sever them with Diffindo. Now, Obviously, you should make sure you have Spongify equipped because you will need it. There is nothing else inside to do right now, so go on through the door and outside. You will get a cut scene where you will see a troll come running out at you and he breaks a statue and reveals a large Spongify tile. The door to the building closes and so you now must battle the troll. This works just like fighting the troll in the Girls Bathroom earlier in the game. Cast Spongify on the tile and get Harry close to it so the troll will swing at Harry. Move Harry out of the way just in time so the troll hits the tile and his club will bounce back up and hit him instead. It takes 5 times of making the troll hit itself and this is very annoying. I hate the trolls. After the troll falls down, a Challenge Shield will appear near the door where you entered this area. There is a brown chest on the left side of the building that will give you: Cauldron cake. There is also a chocolate frog around the area that you can eat to regain some of your life. Now, there is a new area opened up close to where the troll has fallen down. Go on to the new area. In the new area, 1st jump down into the pit like area. There is an imp down there, Flipendo him and pick him up and carry him over to the hole and throw him down. He might bite you and make you drop beans, but just do it until you get him down that hole. There is a brown chest down here with a Pumpkin Pasty in it. There is also a Challenge Shield down here so grab it. Then climb back up on the tree branch and then back up to the level near the troll. Now, turn around and face the pit again. You will see a large tree has fallen across the pit, carefully make your way across that tree. Once across, you climb over a tree branch and then another one and then you should see a Flipendo Shield up above you. Target that shield and cast Flipendo on it. The tree branch that the Flipendo shield was on will fall down and crush some Horklumps. There are 3 of those Horklumps surrounding a Challenge Shield. R1 to target each one of these and then cast Flipendo and then cast Diffindo on them and they will slice up and go away. If it doesn't work on the first try, just keep trying. I promise that it works. Go on down the path. I used Lumos because it was kind of dark. Nothing tricky...just go down and climb over a tree root and you should find a chocolate frog. You will then cross a little bridge. As soon as your cross the bridge you will get a cut scene that will show you the Diffindo spell book in the middle of the area and it will show 2 Gytrashes pop out. Use Lumos again and again and make sure you charge it good each time and then shine it at the Gytrashes over and over until their life meter goes down and they go away. You can run while charging a spell, so just charge while avoiding them. It is annoying but you can do it. There is a chocolate frog nearby in case you need it. Once you finish you will be able to pick up the Diffindo Spell Book...YAY! Equip it to whatever button you had Spongify on previously. This is what the book says about Diffindo: As is the case with many spells, the Diffindo Severing Charm has a variety of uses. For example, Diffindo can be cast on certain tapestries or wall hangings to reveal heretofore hidden entrances. It is also useful on vines, or plants with tendril-like appendages. Exit the book and the Remembrall and return to the game... Now, head back to the little bridge you came across and jump down into the pit below. Look for the brown chest and you will find an owl treat. Near the end where the chest is located, you will also find a Challenge Shield in a little space near a statue, be sure to pick it up. While you are still at this end, use Lumos near the brown chest and you will reveal a hidden doorway. Push it open and you will find a GOLD CHEST that will give you: WIZARD CARD # 19 of 101 - Newt Scamander - 1897-present - Celebrated author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them - Number of Copies: 2 At the other end of the pit you will find a pedestal to call Hedwig. Call her and feed her the treat. After you feed her the treat, she will flutter her wings and reveal a statue that you can them cast Lumos on and it will reveal those glowing green floors again. Climb up the glowing green floors and then up on a little ledge and then back onto that same small bridge. Cross back to the side where you found the spell book. You should be able to get another chocolate frog now, as he keeps returning. Go over where you see one of those holes in the tree that you can toss imps down into. Now, use R1 to Target around and cast Diffindo until you hit the ropes above you. This will make another bridge fall and 2 imps will run down the bridge. Cast Flipendo on them and throw them into the hole in the tree. A GOLD CHEST will appear behind you and it will give you: WIZARD CARD # 57 of 101 - Gifford Ollerton - 1390-1441 - Famous giant-slayer. Killed the giant Hengist of Upper Barnton. Number of Copies: 1 If your life meter is down, hang around a bit and the chocolate frog will come back again and you can just fill yourself up completely. A very nice perk after such an annoying section. Now you can go up the bridge. At the top, use R1 again to target a rope and cast Diffindo on it and it will release a round shaped block of wood. Step on it and Harry will fall into a pit. Walk around in here using Lumos and you will find a Challenge Shield. Then you should go find the cave/tunnel area and go through it. At the end of the tunnel you will get a quick cut scene that will show a troll walking around. As you walk into this area you will see a ramp on your right. Go right and past this ramp and all the way to the dead end and you will find a GOLD CHEST that will give you: WIZARD CARD # 87 of 101 - Thaddeus Thurkell - 1632-1692 - Famous for producing 7 Squib sons and turning them into hedgehogs in disgust - Number of Copies: 1 Now, go up the ramp and then climb to the top of it...then jump across to the next ledge and then the next. Some Doxies are flying around so use R1 and cast Flipendo to make them go away. Jump to the tree that is crossing the pit and go across it. Once on the other side, go to the right and to the ladder to climb down. There will be another Doxie on the ground...cast Flipendo to make him go away. In a grassy area here you will find a Challenge Shield. Around a tree in another grassy area is another Challenge Shield in this same area. You should also find a brown chest with a pumpkin pasty inside. Now, go back down past the troll trying to avoid being hit. He only follows you so far and then he gives up. Go back to the ramp and climb up again. This is an annoying part. Go all the way across the gaps again and back to the tree that is across the gap. When you get about half way across that tree, look toward the area you just came from, but look at the opposite wall/ledge. You will see some vines flapping around. Use R1 to target and cast Flipendo and then Diffindo to get rid of these. It will work, so keep trying if it doesn't work on the first attempt. Now, cross the tree and go left this time. You will quickly come to an area where Harry must back up to the wall and scoot along the ledge. At the next area, you will come to some Horklumps blocking your path. Cast Flipendo on each one and then Diffindo until they slive up and go away. Jump across another gap and then onto a ramp-like thing and then jump across another gap into a round opening in the tree...you will see more Doxies flying so R1 to target and cast Flipendo on them as well so they go away. The game gets really funky through this next little part. The camera angles are terrible and shaky which annoys me very much. Try to be patient with it...keep going and you will jump another gap and follow the ramp around the tree. Again, the camera angles through here are awful. When you get to the end, climb off the edge and drop to a ledge below where you will find a GOLD CHEST that will give you: WIZARD CARD # 84 of 101 - Roland Kegg - 1903 - present - President of English Gobstones team - Number of Copies: 2 Now, climb back up the upper ledge and look to Harry's left. Now, jump across to the opposite side. There will be an imp on a ledge above you. Hit him with Flipendo and he will fall down. Cast Flipendo on him again and toss him into the cage. Quick cut scene will show a Challenge Shield appear. Pick up the shield. Now...you will see a Horklump blocking your way to a Challenge Shield and an exit. Again, use Flipendo and then Diffindo and it will slice it up and reveal an opening. Go get the Challenge Shield. Crawl through the opening. The crawl space will close behind you. A cut scene will show you a Venemous Tentacular that will bite at Harry and knock him down. Professor Sprout will appear and tell Harry that he now has the Diffindo spell...duh. She will tell him that he does not yet have the skill to take on a fully grown Venemous Tentacular and to please follow her. Follow her and hopefully she will give you a B if you found enough of the Challenge Shield. She will dismiss the class and you will regain control of Harry inside the greenhouse. Exit the greenhouse and then exit the whole Herbology area through the gate. Congrats! You finished the Diffindo Challenge!!! When you get outside, Ron and Hermione are standing there and if you talk to them, they will say they are going to bed. Go over to Hagrid's Hut and enter the garden area again. You will see a tapestry hanging with the Diffindo symbol on it. Cast Diffindo on the tapestry and it will fall. Go up some steps here and you come to a crawlspace, crawl through and you will find 2 FOLIO BRUTI books, pick up each one. They are as follows: FOLIO BRUTI VOLUME 1 Page 5 DOXY The Doxy is covered in thick, black hair. It has an extra pair of arms and legs and a double row of sharp teeth. If you're bitten by one of these creatures, an antidote should be taken. A Knockback Jinx will hold them at bay. And FOLIO BRUTI VOLUME 1 PAGE 13 FLOBBERWORM The thick, brown Flobberworm can reach up to 10 inches in length. Both ends of the worm produce a mucus that can be used to thicken potions. The Flobberworm's preferred food is lettuce, though it will eat almost any vegetation. Go through the crawlspace on the other side and you will go around to some wooden walkways and bridges. As you walk you will see (and hear) some Doxies flying around. Use R1 to target them and hit them with Flipendo so they will go away. I think there were 5 or 6 of them. When you reach the place where you have to go either right or left, go to the right side first. Keep taking bridges to the right until you come to and end where there is a Flobberworm on the ground. Stand back a little ways from the Flobberworm and cast Flipendo on it. The Flobberworm will jump towards you. Be careful to stay back far enough so he doesn't bump you. Keep baking Harry down the walkway hitting the Flobberworm again and again so it follows him. You will back onto a large platform that has a big contraption hanging above it and there is a round symbol on the floor with a picture of a Flobberworm on it. Keep bring the Flobberworm until you get it situated right on the round symbol. Go back down the walkways to the cut off area again and now go down the other path. There will be a brown chest on the left with a Cauldron Cake. You will come to a platform with an even bigger mechanism and there will be some Bowtruckles there. Cast Flipendo on the Bowtruckles so they will go away. I think there were 3 of them. Now go on the platform and you will see that it is another one of those things that turns around and around with a Flipendo button on it. Cast Flipendo at that button a few times and the mechanism will rise up and you will see a cut scene of the Flobberworm getting SQUISHED! Haha! Go all the way around again and you can pick up the Flobberworm mucus. Go back out of this area the same way you entered. There may have been a brown chest here somewhere but I just don't recall. Now, you could just end your day right now, but this is a good time to go get the next item for the Notice Board. So, head back to the castle and around to Madame Hooch at the Flying Practice Area. When you see Madame Hooch, go thru the entrance on Harry's left and onto the wooden bridge. You will find the book there. Harry will pick it up and say that he needs to return it to the common room. Go back inside the castle and return to the Notice Board in Gryffindor common room to turn in the book. When you return the book, you will be given: WIZARD CARD # 35 of 101 - Bowman Wright - 1492-1560 - Famous for developing the Golden Snitch - Number of Copies: 1 Read the Notice Board again and you will see this notice: LOST: One pair of dragon-hide gloves. Last known location: near the Lake. If found, please return to this Notice Board. End Day and you will see the House Points: Gryffindor has 130 and Slytherin has 99 at this point in my game...the other 2 houses are not even close. A cut scene will show it snowing outside and it is really pretty!!!! You see the castle at night with snow falling and all over the castle and it is just really a cool sight to see. Then it is CHRISTMAS!!!!!!! Harry gets the Invisibility Cloak!!! Hedwig arrives with a letter for Harry from Hermione. It is about Nicholas Flammel. She mentions sneaking into the Restricted Section and finding a specific book. Hmmm...how convenient. Hehe. Oh yah, a reminder...I hope you have been saving often as you play! The game sometimes will freeze up and you don't want to get stuck doing some of the more annoying tasks again. I also recommend that if you have not done it yet, you make sure you have 50 beans and go buy the Bertie Bott Bean Carrying Bag from Fred & George. It will allow you to carry 150 beans, which means you can buy more stuff from the shop! Make sure you have all the beans you can carry before you end each day so you can visit the shop during your nightly challenges. Go downstairs with Ron and he will tell you to Come on and go to the library to find that book! So, follow Ron to the 2nd Floor. Go in and just outside the library and you will get a cut scene with Ron where he tells you to use the Invisibility Cloak to sneak past the Prefects and Madame Pince (the librarian) and get into the Restricted Section. You will then be put inside the Library Annexe room so be ready to move. Harry will have the Cloak on already and if you just stand there, a Prefect will walk into you. So, get moving! Move Harry as quietly as you can. The prefects can still hear his footsteps. Just move straight ahead to the door at the end right in front of where you start. A prefect heard me, but I pushed the door anyways and got on through. You will now be in another area filled with prefects, so again, move carefully and quietly! You have to go thru stacks of bookshelves. Go down the center area first, stay to the left side so a prefect won't bump you. Try to watch the prefects a bit to see the pattern they are walking in and avoid getting in their path. Just creep along slowly. At the end of the center area, go left and around the long bookshelf. Then you need to go to the right to the wall and then left and all the way to the end of the room and you will see an opening in the wall that you can crawl through. I recommend having some stink pellets equipped to toss at a prefect if they hear you. Once you crawl through the space you will be in the actual large library area. In front of Harry to the left you will see a book on a pedestal...pick it up and you will have: FOLIO BRUTI VOLUME 1 Page 2 Flying Books - These weighty tomes may erupt dangerously from bookcases in the library - especially in the Restricted Section. They can be stunned with Flipendo; however, they're easily combustible. Make sure to have Flipendo equipped. Now, over to the right you will see a GOLD CHEST that will give you: WIZARD CARD # 25 of 101 - Perpetua Fancourt - 1900-1991 - Witch who invented the Lunascope - Number of Copies: 1 As you pass the chest, a quick cut scene will show bookcases closing behind you blocking the exit. As you enter the next room, which is very dark (this game is way too dark), another quick cut scene will show high walls filled with bookcases and you will see books flying around. Go to the left and around to the far back corner of the room and you will find a ladder. Climb up. At the top you will have to scoot across a ledge. Just be careful of the flying books. On the other side, climb up again. At the top you will have to scoot across another ledge. Then move to the middle of that platform and it will suddenly rise up and take you to the next level. Step off. Across from you there will be a Flipendo Shield. Use R1 to target it and cast Flipendo. The platform across from you will extend so Harry can jump across the gap. Jump across and then you will need to scoot along another ledge to the next platform. Again, step to the center and the floor will rise you to the next level. Now, you will have an annoying camera angle. You need to jump across 6 gaps until you come to a door that has a Tapestry hanging over it. This is only annoying because of the camera angle. I should also add that none of the books in this area bothered me at all. Cast Diffindo on the Tapestry. The door will now be revealed. Open the door. Just inside the door there is a brown chest that contains a Pumpkin Pasty. Just on the other side of the room is another brown chest with a Pumpkin Pasty. Go thru the door and down some steps to another door. Open the door. You are now in a large library area that has a large circle area in the middle of the floor. First you will need to use Lumos to fight some ghosts away. Once you do that, 2 Spongify tiles will appear. Cast Spongify on the tile and jump up to the ledge on the far side of the room. You will find 2 brown chests here that will give you Pumpkin Pasties. Jump down and cast Spongify on the other tile and jump to the other ledge. There is a brown chest here with Stink Pellets. Also on this ledge, you will see a Flipendo Shield above Harry's head. R1 to target it and cast Flipendo. You will see a large bookcase move out of the way. Jump back to the floor area again. Go to where the bookcase has moved out of the way and go to the end and the right side. The books here will attack you so be careful! You will see another Flipendo Shield ob the wall. Again, cast Flipendo on the shield. You will now see a spinning thing come up through the floor. You may recall seeing this earlier in the game with Mr. Ollivander. Go back to this area of the room and cast Flipendo on the shield on the turning mechanism. This is annoying so just keep hitting it again and again until it finally goes all the way up and you see another bookcase move. The new area is where a Prefect will get you if you aren't careful. Now…move very slowly!!! You don't have to go far into the new area and you need to move slowly so you don't pass the ladder. I crept around slowly to the left and stayed against the bookcases in the dark. You will come to a ladder. Climb up. If you use Lumos, the Prefect will see you, so just go slowly. At the top of the ladder it is still really dark. Go to the right and you will jump a small gap. On the next ledge there is a Statue. Cast Lumos on it and it will reveal those glowing green floors once again. Jump back across and climb down the ladder. Again, quietly and slowly make your way back to the main center area of the room. Now head back to the other side of the room where the glowing green floors are located and climb up and onto the bookcase. There will be a book on a pedestal. This is the book you are looking for. Pick it up and a cut scene will show that the bookcases that closed behind you when you came into the room are now moved out of the way. After you pick up the book, you can jump across to a ledge where there is a brown chest that gives a Pumpkin Pasty. Yummy. Jump down and go back to the entrance to this room and open the door and go back out again. Go up the steps and you will have a quick cut scene that reveals a crawl space. Walk forward a bit and crawl through. You now have the invisibility cloak on. The music here is very annoying. When you exit the crawl space, go to the left and crawl back through the space where you came in earlier. You now have to avoid prefects again and make your way back across the room. Just take your time and be quiet. Casting Flipendo to distract the prefects, or tossing down Stink Pellets can help if you get caught too easily. I just throw Stink Pellets and run for the door. The door is at the far right end of the room. Once you go through the door, you will be in the room with the desks again. Go to the left of all the desks and run for the door at the opposite end of the room. Toss more Stink Pellets if you need to. As soon as you exit the room, Peeves will attack you and steal the book and fly off. Follow Peeves up the stairs and you will see him go through the door on the 5th floor. Go through the door. You will see Peeves fly through the 1st door on the left. Go through the door. Peeves will throw the book down on the floor. Then you will see the Mirror of Erised and Harry will see his family in the mirror. Dumbledore will now come and tell Harry all about the Mirror of Erised. Dumbledore takes the Invisibility Cloak and then he leaves and tells Harry to go to bed. Go to your Remembrall and End Night. Next is a cut scene at breakfast. Harry gets his broom! Harry, Ron and Hermione also discuss the fact that the book did not mention Flammel. The game is now 48% completed! Once you regain control of Harry, you will be in the Entrance Hall. Hermione says she is going to Charms class and will meet you there. You can go outside now and try out your new broom!!! This is a good time to find the next item on the Notice Board list. Hop on your broom and fly down to the lake. Right along the water's edge you will find the Dragon-hide gloves. Pick them up. You can fly around some more if you wish. Whenever you are ready, head to the 2nd floor for Charms class. Before you go to Charms class, I strongly recommend that you make sure you have 101 cards. If you have been collecting cards from classrooms every day, and then trading your extras for other cards, you should have all 101 by now. If not, go search some desks and trade until you have as many as you can find. It will help you greatly to have all 6 lightning bolt life meters by this part of the game. This is the halfway point! The final part of this challenge is VERY annoying and hard to get the pattern down. Having all six life meters filled will really save you from throwing the controller through your TV. Hehe. INCENDIO CHALLENGE - Charms class Enter the Charms class and Flitwick will tell you to sit. He then tells you about the Incendio spell. A portrait will move aside and reveal a crawl space. Harry crawls through automatically. To the right is a book: FOLIO BRUTI VOLUME 1 Page 11 Venemous Tentacula - The Venemous Tentacula is a long, straggly plant with moving tendrils and fanged shoots. The bite of the Venemous Tentacular is very painful and poisonous, and an antidote should be taken if inflicted. Use Diffindo to stun the creature and sever its tendrils. Incendio can then be used to finish it off. Walk forward and up a few little steps for a cut scene that will show that the spell book is in the middle of the room behind a cage. When you regain control of Harry, move forward and pick up the Challenge Shield that is in front of him. Walk around the ledge to the right and you will see a Flipendo Button. Cast Flipendo on it and platform will move across to the ledge you are standing on. Beware, there are fire crabs here! Remember, Flipendo will stun them! You can hit them a few times and knock them off the ledge. After you get rid of those fire crabs, go to the new platform and walk across to the statue. Cast Lumos on the statue. Hooray for green glowing platforms! Go out and then climb the platforms. On the 3rd platform you will find a Challenge Shield. Keep going. There are 7 green platforms to climb to the top. Now you will be on the higher area where the spell book is inside the cage. There are fire jets being shot across platforms and into a room. I selected the one on the left to try first. Watch the timing…as soon as you get a chance, RUN across the platform and into the room and move Harry to the right side of the room as fast as you can so he won't be hit by the flames. Go around the corner and up a few little steps to the next area. As soon as you enter the new area, there will be a brown chest to the left that will give you Cauldron Cake. Now, watch the fire jets which shoot to the ceiling. They go in a pattern. Right, left and then center. You will see a Spongify tile on the floor. Cast Spongify on it and wait until the flame moves to the left side and then jump to ledge above. There is another Spongify tile here, so do the same thing to jump to the next ledge. Next you will back up to the wall and scoot across the ledge. There are fire jets in the wall here so be patient and wait for them to stop and scoot past them quickly. There is another Spongify tile here so use it to jump up to the next ledge. There is a crate here that you need to shove off the ledge. After you push the crate off of the ledge, you need to scoot along the wall again to get to some brown chests that will give you an Own Treat and a Pumpkin Pasty. Scoot back across to the previous ledge and then scoot along the ledge of the next wall to the little pedestal and Call Hedwig. Feed her the treat. She will fly up and make a ladder drop down to the ground floor for you. Scoot back across again to the previous ledge and climb down the ladder. Grab the crate you shoved down from the above ledge and drag it over to the square switch in the corner of the room. This will give you a cut scene that will show one of the fire jets out by the spell book turn to face the ceiling. It will also show a space opening in the floor of the room you are in, a cage blocking your exit to the room and a space opening in the wall for some fire crabs to come in the room with you. These 2 fire crabs are very annoying. You have to get them to chase you close enough to the hole in the floor and then Flipendo them again and again until you manage to push them into the hole. It took me a few tries but I managed it. When you drop them both down the hole, the door will open again. Before you leave the room, go back up the platforms again to get a Challenge Shield that has just appeared. Go back down and exit the room. As you walk out, there is a door in front of you with a lock on it. Cast Alohomora and open the door. Inside you will find a GOLD CHEST that contains: WIZARD CARD # 92 of 101 - Xavier Rastrick - 1750-1836 - Flamboyant wizard entertainer who vanished unexpectedly while tap-dancing to a crowd of three hundred in Painswick and was never seen again - Number of Copies: 1 (I would like to add that I have not yet traded anymore cards, I have 64 different cards at this time). Exit that room and go back to the main platform area again. Go left to the next platform where fire is being shot and run across it again. This time go to the left as you enter the room. There is a tapestry in the next room but I could not get it to fall with Diffindo at this time. You will see flames coming up from the floor. Wait until they stop and run across. Now you will see 2 objects shooting fire across the room and blocking the path. Cast a charged Flipendo at each one quickly and they will face the ceiling and you can run through. Go up the stairs ahead of you and on the right will be a brown chest that has a Pumpkin Pasty inside. Go through the next opening and you will get a cut scene that shows you the layout of the room. Make your way across the ledge using Flipendo to make the fire jets shoot at the ceiling so you can walk past each one. Once you get through this there will be imps! Be ready to Flipendo them! Cast Flipendo and pick one up and toss it into the cage. Cast Flipendo on the other imp and toss him off the side into the pit. Climb on top of the cage and you will find a GOLD CHEST that gives you: WIZARD CARD # 33 of 101 - Beaumont Marjoribanks - WILL ADD INFO LATER…Number of Copies: 3 Now…go back to where you climbed up and you will see a rope holding up a ramp. R1 to target the rope and cast Diffindo on the rope and the ramp will fall down. Climb down and go up the ramp. You will now see a crate hanging from a rope. R1 again and cast Diffindo on the rope so the block will fall down. Go back down the ramp and to the crate that you knocked down. Drag it to the other side and put it into the square switch space. Another fun filled cut scene will show that the next fire jet out where the spell book is has turned to the ceiling now, the entrance to the room you are now in will be blocked and an opening in the wall will let 2 fire crabs come in to join you. Flipendo them until they drop off the edge into the pit. After you knock them both into the pit, the entrance will be unblocked and a Challenge Shield will appear. Use Flipendo on the fire jets again and go across the ledge to get the Challenge Shield and exit the room and go back out to the main platform. On your way out, you can now use Diffindo on that Tapestry. A little chime will play and the tapestry vanishes but there is nothing but a wall behind it. Go around to the final Fire jet (I have been calling these things fire jets for lack of a better term. They actually appear to be metal boars…anyways…) Run across this ledge and around to the right to avoid being hit by the flames. There are 2 tapestries hanging on the wall. Cast Diffindo on the one on the left side and a room will be revealed. Inside the room is a GOLD CHEST that will give you a WIZARD CARD PACK with the following 5 cards: 2, 52, 73, 96, and 67 - INFO TO ADDED LATER..I have 2 copies of 52 and 73 at this time. You can cast Diffindo on the other tapestry and when it falls you will hear a little chime, but there is nothing behind it. Walk up the small steps and through the door. Jump across the gap to the platform in the center of the room. Jump to the platform on the right and cast Lumos to reveal a hidden door. Push the door and go through. There is a brown chest with a cauldron cake. Exit the room and jump back to the center platform and then to the one on the left side of the room. Cast Lumos again and Push open the door that is revealed. Inside is a brown chest that has a Pumpkin Pasty. Exit the room and jump to the center platform again. Now, jump to the next platform straight ahead. Then jump to the platform on the right side. Cast Lumos again and push open the door. Inside this room is a brown chest with a cauldron cake and also a Challenge Shield. Exit the room and jump back to the previous platform and then to the left side of the room. Cast Lumos again and push open the door. Inside this room is a statue. Cast Lumos on it and exit the room. Jump to the platform straight ahead of you and then jump to the one on the right and then jump to the one on the right again. You should now be next to the glowing green platform. Jump onto it. Harry will be lifted up to the next level. Walk forward off the platform and you will see fire coming from the floor. When it stops, walk across. Go straight and then to the right and again wait for the fire to stop and cross the floor. Do the same thing around another corner. Now you should see an opening in the little wall and if you look out you will see a platform. Jump onto it. Look to the wall on the left and you will see a Flipendo button in the wall. Use R1 to target the button and cast Flipendo on it. A cut scene will show a crate falling from the ceiling. Turn around and you will see a platform where the crate fell. Jump to that platform. Drag the crate into the square opening in the floor. A cut scene will show the final fire jet in that main room turning to face the ceiling. You will also see some ghosts appear and when you regain control of Harry again, there will be a life meter on the screen for the ghosts. Jump back across and go back around to the green platform. Step on it and you will be lowered again. Jump carefully back to the center platform. This is where the first ghost will be waiting for you. Cast Lumos and shine your light on it a few times and it will vanish. Now, jump to the other platform in the middle of the room and do the same thing for the second ghost. When you defeat the second ghost, the gate will open so you can exit this room, and a Challenge Shield will appear. Jump to the platform to get the shield and then exit the room and go back to the main room where the spell book is located. Now, go around to each of the fire jets (boars) that are facing upwards. On each one there is a Flipendo button. Cast Flipendo on each of the buttons and a part of the gate surrounding the spell book will be lowered for you. You may now pick up the Incendio Spell Book! INCENDIO SPELL The Incendio Charm, otherwise known as the bluebell flames or cold fire, is a spell of an incendiary nature. Useful for lighting braziers or fires. It can also be very effective when certain plants are encountered. Like Flipendo, Incendio can be targeted using R1. Equip Incendio to the button you were using for Flipendo. A quick cut scene will show a torch (or I guess the game calls the statue torch things braziers) being lit with a blue flame. Walk over to the torch which was just lit up and there is one next to it which is not lit. I had to try from a few different angles before I could get it to light. Just keep trying to cast Incendio on the torch until it lights. Once it does, a cut scene will show the floor moving and steps raise up just below you so you can get the Challenge Shield that was floating too high before. Climb down and get the Challenge Shield. Climb down the remaining steps and through the door in front of you. Pick up another Challenge Shield just inside the doorway. Go around the corner and up some small steps. You will find 4 brown chests that have pumpkin pasties and cauldron cakes inside. Go around another corner and you will see an open door and through it will be a Challenge Shield. Go pick it up. You will also find a GOLD CHEST that gives you: WIZARD CARD # 3 of 101 - Elfrida Clagg - 1612-1687 - Chieftainess of Warlock's Council - Number of Copies: 1 Exit this room and there is a door on your left. Hopefully, you have all 6 life meters for Harry and hopefully they are all filled or close to filled. SAVE YOR GAME OUTSIDE THIS DOOR. If you die in the next part, just press Start and the select Quit to Main Menu and reload your saved game again. Brace yourself. Hehe. Open the door and go through. A cut scene will show Harry walk through a passage and through a door. The door will slam shut and the music will go all annoying again. You will see a huge Venemous Tentacular. If you recall from earlier in the game, a Folio Bruti stated that you fight Venemous Tentacular using Diffindo to stun it and Incendio to finish it off. That said, R1 to target and go for it! This is annoying! There are some chocolate frogs so be sure to eat them to restore your life meter. It took many A LOT of tries to complete this. This has to be even more annoying that anything so far in the game. You will swear that the plant is cheating. This is how to defeat it. Run up to it and as it prepares to spit at you, move aside, R1 to target and then cast Diffindo on the LEFT red flower…make it a good Diffindo and it will collapse. Now do this again to get the flower on the RIGHT side to fall. Be careful that you don't back up into a green glob because that will also take your life. As soon as you knock down the second flower, cast a Diffindo on the part that is spitting and then immediately cast Incendio on it. If you get it right, it will make a whining sound and the life meter will go down. If you mess it up, the red flowers will come right back to life again. YOU MUST USE THE R1 BUTTON TO TARGET OR YOUR SPELLS WILL NEVER HIT IT CORRECTLY!!! If you need a break for a minute so you don't throw your controller at the screen, just run to the back of the room and the plant will stop spitting at you until you come forward again. Just be patient and trust me, it can be done. It took me about 10 attempts to get through the 1st time because I wasn't following the correct pattern. It is a beautiful sight to behold when that darn plant finally dies!!! YAY! Right behind where the plant was standing, you will now see some openings in the wall that have little grates inside. Light them using Incendio and the middle one will open to reveal the crawlspace to get out of this place finally! After crawling out, Flitwick gives Harry an A and tells him that it was "Well done." You will see the class leaving the room and you now regain control of Harry. Exit the charms classroom. A boy will run up to Harry and say "Harry. Harry!" and Harry asks "What's up?" and the boy replies, "It's Neville. You've got to come to the common room quickly!" Since you are now standing right outside the door to the Library Annexe, go on into the library annexe and then walk back and enter the library. Go straight back and up the stairs on the left. Keep in mind that if you need beans, you can search all of the bookcases for them. If you look above the bookcase on the left, you will see a Flipendo button. Cast Flipendo on the button and the door next to this will now be unlocked. Go inside for a GOLD CHEST with a WIZARD CARD. Exit this room. Now, look left and you will see a door with 2 torches outside that are not lit. Cast Incendio to light them. You may need to stand back a bit to do this, use R1 to target. You need them both lit at the same time and the door will unlock for you. Enter the room. There is a GOLD CHEST with a WIZARD CARD. Exit this room. Go down the stairs and over to the other side and up those stairs. Cast Diffindo on the tapestry over the first door on the right side. The door will be revealed with a lock on it. Cast Alohomora on the door and go inside. There is a GOLD CHEST with a WIZARD CARD. Exit the room.
