Chapter 5 – Monkeying around

Introduction

Hello everyone, welcome to our Walkthrough for Chapter Five of Beyond Hogwarts: Volume One of Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery. During the previous chapter, Flump explained that your first case of cursed Toy Chimp is a very rare type of case and only very capable agents can solve it. But if you don’t solve yours, you will get fired.

Bilton Bilmes tried to help you, and when you finally thought you solved the case, the Toy Chimp continued with his noise in your flat. The landlord lost patience and he gave you an eviction notice. You have to solve this case, or you will lose your job and flat.

Go to the Three Broomsticks to continue the story. You can check what the guests of the inn have to say by tapping on the speech bubbles above their heads. Once you are done with that, you can sit with your friends.

Shortly after, Merula will arrive. You will order one Butterbeer but she will be very impolite.

You will find out that Madam Rosmerta fired Merula. You will have three options on how to react to this news. If you like Merula, choose the second option.

Tonks will explain that Merula spilled an entire tray of Butterbeer and chips on a customer. She intentionally did that because the customer wouldn’t stop asking her on a date.

You will talk about the Toy Chimp. You will explain that you’ve tried to stop it but you’ve failed. You will question everything you’ve learned.

You will talk about this with your friends. To complete the next task, you need to earn five stars within one hour. Three stars are required to pass.

One bonus progress action is tied to your character. Prioritize this action to save a bit of energy.

You and your friends will be puzzled about what went wrong after graduating. You were doing great at Hogwarts but now everyone has problems.

Penny’s got roommate troubles, Andre’s got budget troubles, and Murphy’s got networking troubles. Merula will try to be mean and she’ll sarcastically comment that if you feel so lost, maybe you should go back to Hogwarts, but this will give you an idea.

You will decide to get in contact with your Head of House. The next task will slightly differ based on your House, but most of the dialogues are the same. This walkthrough will show Griffindor variation of this task where you’ll talk with Professor McGonagall.

Go to the Clocktower Courtyard in Hogwarts when you are ready to continue. You will meet your Head of House. The professor will gladly help anyone who seeks knowledge and you’ll find out that Barnaby Lee was at Hogwarts before you.

Apparently, your friend was homesick but the professor couldn’t talk with him because of new students. Your Head of House will mention some of them. This dialogue will differ based on your House.

Your professor will ask you about the cursed toy. You can respond in three different ways. This choice won’t have an impact on the story so feel free to choose the option you like.

You will explain that this cursed item is one of the challenges you are facing and you need advice from someone more experienced in life. To complete the next task, you need to earn five stars within three hours. All five stars are required to pass.

There is only one bonus progress action and it’s tied to your character. Prioritize this action to save some energy.

You will admit that you feel a bit lost and unprepared out in the real world. You will ask if there’s something Hogwarts forgot to teach you. Your professor will say that if that’s the case, then it was done so intentionally. You will be surprised by this answer.

Your Head of House will ask what you think is the best way to survive your current predicament. Your professor will like it if you choose the second option. Their reaction may differ based on your House.

With this choice, you will answer your question and you will be thankful. Your professor will go on to continue their duties. This line may differ based on who is your Head of House.

Before you return back to work, you’ll have a waiting time of two hours.

Once the waiting time is over, go to the Alleyway in High Street. You will meet Callum. He will burst into laughter when he sees your Toy Chimp again.

You will ask him what’s funny about it. To hear Callum’s explanation, you’ll need to earn five stars within three hours. Three stars are required to pass.

Bonus progress actions are tied to Callum and your character. Prioritize these actions to save some energy.

You will wonder how Callum knows about Toy Chimps so much. He’ll say that he had a Toy Chimp for his first case in ROCC. He will be surprised to see you two got the same case. The following line of dialogue may differ based on your choice in the previous chapter.

Since he is still employed, it means he solved his case. You can react in three different ways. If you like Callum, it is recommended to choose the first option, while the other two options have funny dialogues, so feel free to choose the option you like.

Although your coworker couldn’t say how to solve the case, you will feel better because there’s hope. The following line of dialogue will differ based on your previous choice.

Callum will remind you that if you fail you’ll get fired, but if you succeed, you will get a security clearance upgrade. You will ask your coworker for advice. He’ll say that he can only offer you words of encouragement. He’ll explain that solving the monkey case is a lot like taming a creature and it takes lots of patience. This will give you an idea.

You will inform Callum that you are going to the Magical Creatures Department to meet Barnaby. Your coworker will have one more piece of advice. You should not overthink your case.

Go to the Magical Creatures Department in the Ministry of Magic to continue. You can tap on the speech bubbles above agents to hear what they have to say. Slide the screen left and right to check all available options.

You will meet Barnaby who will look very sad. He’ll admit that he still feels homesick and he still doesn’t feel better about him living with his grandmum, and finding a new job didn’t help him. You can reply in two different ways. This choice won’t have a significant impact on the story so feel free to choose the option you like.

He’ll mention he went back to Hogwarts, but the school is not the same for him. You will mention you know about his visit and you’ll ask him if he went there because he was feeling homesick. This question will confuse him.

To cheer up Barnaby, you need to earn five stars within three hours. All five stars are required to pass.

There is only one bonus progress action and it’s tied to Barnaby. Prioritize this action to save a bit of energy.

You’ll make Barnaby feel better.

Suddenly, you will release what happened. The Toy Chimp stopped clanging!

You will ask Barnaby how he managed to do that. He’ll say that he actually didn’t pay any attention to it. He will explain that he has experience in working with rude Jarveys so he can handle any annoying creature.

This will make you think. You will realize that you didn’t give much thought to the monkey while you were talking with Barnaby. You will also remember that Callum said you should not overthink your case. You will understand that you’ve solved the case, but not with a spell, but with a state of mind.

You will thank Barnaby, but he’ll be thankful as well because you’ve helped him feel better.

You’ll decide to go back to work and show your supervisor what you’ve done. Before that, you’ll have a waiting time of four hours. It is recommended to wait since you’ll be low on energy at this point.

Once the waiting time is over, go to the Break room in the ROCC Division. If you are curious about what your coworkers have to say, tap on the speech bubbles above their heads. Your coworkers will be happy and they will congratulate you.

Callum will admit that you solved this case faster than him, but only by a few minutes. He will congratulate you again.

To celebrate with your friends you need to earn five stars within eight hours. All five stars are required to pass.

Bonus progress actions are tied to Callum and Olivia. Prioritize these actions to save a bit of energy.

Shortly after Flump will arrive.

He will tell you that you did what was expected of you. You can reply in two different ways. Feel free to choose the option you like.

He will point out that your case is not over because you’ll have a lot of paperwork next. Olivia will dramatically describe this.

Flump will start to leave the room but you will remind him that your security clearance should be upgraded. He’ll respond that he didn’t forget about it, he just didn’t care enough to mention it at the moment. He’ll then officially announce your reward.

Once your paperwork is done you will be able to visit another location within the ROCC Division. This will conclude the story for Chapter Five.

Now that you have completed the story, you can start mandatory and optional chapter tasks. You need to complete one mandatory chapter task and two optional chapter tasks to unlock the next chapter. When you complete three tasks, the fourth one that is left will disappear.

Go to the ROCC Division to start the mandatory chapter task. You will help Olivia in her research about an experimental formula for the Cure of Boils potion. She’ll be very much behind, so she’ll never finish her research in time on her own.

You’ll need to complete several objectives to finish this mandatory chapter task. Feel free to do them in any order you prefer.

While doing these objectives, it is recommended to select the duration that matches their star requirements.

Prioritize actions with bonus progress whenever they are available.

Try your best to complete all of the mini-tasks to earn some additional attribute points.

Once you complete all of the tasks, hit the Collect button and return to the ROCC Division.

After you complete all the objectives, you can claim the reward in the ROCC Division section of the Wizarding Life tab.

Choose the optional tasks you like. You can stop by Gringotts, have a chat with Madam Rosmerta at Hogsmeade, or take a break in the ROCC Division’s Break Room.

Don’t forget to select the duration that matches their star requirements.

Also, prioritize actions with bonus progress whenever they are available.

This will conclude Chapter 5 of Beyond Hogwarts: Volume 1. You have saved both your job and your apartment. Which new room will you unlock after completing the paperwork? Find out in the next chapter of The Harry Potter Hogwarts Mysteries.
