An Inky Giant Squid Part 4

Introduction

Hello everyone, welcome to Part 4 of our Walkthrough for An Inky Giant Squid Adventure of Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery. In the previous part of your adventure, you delved deep into the mystery surrounding your giant squid’s distress. You discovered that the source of its agitation was a massive sea serpent, which had been using the kelp forest as a pathway and causing significant disruption to your squid’s habitat.

With the giant squid beginning to display aggressive behavior due to the ongoing disturbances, you faced the daunting task of finding a solution that would allow both creatures to coexist peacefully. As you move forward, the challenge lies in devising a plan that ensures both the giant squid and the sea serpent can thrive without causing further unrest.

Now, in Part 4, the focus shifts to implementing strategies and solutions to restore harmony in the Creature Reserve. How will you manage the delicate balance between these two powerful creatures? Join us as we continue this captivating journey to uncover the path to peaceful coexistence.

Proceed to the Clocktower Courtyard when you are ready. Upon arriving, you’ll notice the speech bubbles above some of the characters. Tap on those if you’re curious to see what they have to say. When you arrive, you’ll greet your friends warmly and express your gratitude for their support. You’ll explain that you need their help because you’ve discovered the cause of the giant squid’s distress. This line will differ based on whether you have adopted a Sea Serpent.

Hagrid will say that this explains why your giant squid has been so distressed. However, you’ll mention that ink-spouting isn’t your only issue now. You’ll add that your giant squid is starting to behave aggressively and that you need to address the sea serpent problem soon.

To brainstorm solutions, you need to earn five stars within three hours. All five stars are required to pass. Since this task requires a lot of energy, it is recommended to start it with a full energy bar.

Bonus progress actions are tied to Ben, Penny, Hargid, and Tonks. Prioritize these actions to save some energy. 

You’ll explain that Hogwarts is surrounded by powerful protective enchantments that keep unwelcome parties out, so you can cast a protective enchantment on the kelp forest to keep the sea serpent at bay. Hagrid will then ask what spell you plan to use to keep the sea serpent away and muffle the sounds it makes. The correct answer is “The Imperturbable Charm”.

Hagrid will say that for that, you need a Charms Master, and there’s no one better than Professor Flitwick.

Go to the Charms Classroom to continue the story. You will thank Professor Flitwick for taking the time to meet with you again.

You will explain to Professor Flitwick that you have identified the cause of your giant squid’s ink-spouting: the creature is terrified of a sea serpent that has been encroaching on its habitat. This disturbance has made the squid increasingly aggressive, and you need his help to address the situation effectively. This line will differ based on which year you attend.

Professor Flitwick will acknowledge that it’s a brilliant idea but also a daunting task requiring multiple skills. He’ll add that there’s a reason the Imperturbable Charm is taught in Defence Against the Dark Arts class—it’s not a spell to be overused or abused.

He’ll then ask you to promise that you’ll only cast the charm on the kelp forest. There are two different options to choose from. All of them will eventually lead to the same outcome, so feel free to take your pick.

He’ll add that you’ve been worthy of his trust so far, so he’ll trust his instincts and help you. He’ll advise you to pay close attention in order to learn and master the advanced wandwork required for this spell.

When you finish, Professor Flitwick will praise you, adding that you have excellent control of the charm and its advanced wandwork. He’ll also mention that you’ll have a lot of ground to cover to cast this charm on the kelp forest successfully. He’ll advise you to take your time preparing for it and to visualize the charm you’re casting because the more focused you are, the stronger the barrier will be.

Proceed to the Open Ocean when you are ready. You’ll thank Hagrid for coming with you and admit that you’re feeling a bit nervous. He’ll respond by saying he understands that this is stressful for you but will add that you can do it and encourages you to be brave.

After some time, you will notice that your giant squid has returned to the nesting spot you chose, a clear sign that your creature has finally settled down and found peace in its habitat.

Hagrid will mention that you’ve finally succeeded and add that it looked like a tough charm to cast, but you managed it masterfully. He’ll say that Professor Flitwick would be proud of you. Following that, he’ll ask how you’re feeling now. There are three different options to choose from. These options will influence some dialogue that will follow, but they won’t impact the story.
