Proceed to the Workspace at the ROCC Division when you are ready. You’ll wonder how Dai Ryusaki’s amulet ended up on your desk.

At that moment, Vega will appear and greet you.

She will tell you that you’ve just been promoted to the Cursed Places Division and that there’s no better time than now for orientation. She will suggest starting right away. There are two different options to choose from. Both of them will eventually lead to the same outcome, so feel free to take your pick.

Vega will want to explain what they do in the Cursed Places Division and reveal what your role will be. To learn cursed places basics, 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 your character and Vega. Prioritize these actions to save some energy. 

You’ll learn that you’ll be traveling a lot, identifying Cursed Places and figuring out what to do with them. Additionally, you’ll never know where your next case will take you. In the Cursed Places Division, the entire world is your workspace.

You’ll say that you know from when you learned Apparition that it’s rare and inadvisable to travel long distances. Vega will tell you that you won’t be using Apparition to travel, although it is a very useful skill.

She will then suggest that you follow her so she can show you. Go to the ROCC Division to meet with Vega. 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. Vega will lead you to a large door located at the very center of the ROCC Division.

You’ll ask her why she brought you here, and she’ll explain that this is your mode of transportation for traveling around the world. She’ll add that when there’s a Cursed Place that needs your attention, the door will send you there directly.

Vega will say that the door doesn’t know things, but its magic is powerful and accurate. She will begin explaining how the door functions but will warn you to listen carefully because there’s a catch. To learn about the door, you need to earn five stars within three hours. Three 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 Vega, the door, and your character. Prioritize these actions to save some energy. Slide the screen left and right to check all available actions. 

You’ll learn that the door is actually a rare and unstable Portkey, and when it’s ready to send you to a Cursed Place, the gargoyles will summon you. However, the catch is that you don’t know where it will send you until you arrive. Vega will add that this uncertainty annoys some agents and will ask how this uncertainty makes you feel. There are two different options to choose from. Both options will influence some dialogue that will follow, but they won’t impact the story.

She will add that once you’re summoned by the door and walk through, your next mysterious adventure begins. She will also tell you that there’s another catch: once you arrive at your destination, there’s no way to walk back through the door, so you could be stuck in some random place halfway across the world. However, she will reassure you that there is a way for you to get home. These lines will differ based on your previous choice. 

You’ll explain to her that the amulet was worn by your father when he died. She will say that she understands and isn’t asking you to explain, adding that the Cursed Places job is a particularly difficult one that requires your undivided attention, and you can’t afford any distractions, especially not a cursed amulet.

She will say she wants to help you, and you’ll thank her. You’ll also keep in mind someone who might be able to help you with the amulet—your old friend Elton.

You’ll need to wait three hours before you can continue. Since this chapter is not time-limited, it is recommended to wait until this timer runs out.

Head to the Ministry Archives once the waiting time is over. When you arrive, you’ll see Elton arguing with Herbert because Herbert wants to convince him to go out more often. 

Elton will ask how he can help you and inquire who you’ve brought with you. You’ll then introduce your colleague, Vega.

Shortly after, you’ll tell Elton that Dai Rysaki’s amulet, which your father wore when he died, was found packaged on your desk. You’ll ask for his help to determine if it’s the same amulet and if it’s still cursed. He’ll sigh and ask to see it, but he won’t be able to confirm anything until you both conduct further research together.

To help Elton research, you need to earn five stars within eight 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 Herbert, Elton, and your character. Prioritize these actions to save some energy. Slide the screen left and right to check all available actions. 

Elton will confirm that it is indeed the amulet your father wore when he went over the bridge. He’ll also say that he’s concluded that the amulet is no longer cursed. He’ll ask if you have any theories as to why the amulet is no longer cursed. There are two different options to choose from. These options will influence some dialogue that will follow, but they won’t impact the story.

You’ll say that you still don’t understand who sent you the amulet, and Elton will offer to keep it to gather more information about it and possibly find out who sent it to you, which you’ll accept. Then, you’ll tell Vega that you need to update your brother on what’s happening and thank her for her help. She’ll say she’s glad she could assist you even a little and advise you to check with Flump before leaving work.

You’ll need to wait four hours before you can continue. 

Go to the Corridor to continue the story once the waiting time is over. 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. You’ll tell Flump that you need to talk to him urgently because you have something important to tell him. He’ll respond that he also has something important to tell you.

To learn what Flump wants, you need to earn five stars within eight 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 the woman on the bench, Flump, and your character. Prioritize these actions to save some energy. Slide the screen left and right to check all available actions. 

You’ll learn that Flump wanted to discuss what you’re going to do with Ruby.

This line will differ based on your previous choice. 

Flump will ask you what punishment you think Ruby deserves. There are three options to choose from. If you like Ruby, it is recommended to pick the second option.

Following that, he will tell you that he will take your opinion into consideration and let you know his final decision when he decides. Then he will ask you what you wanted to ask him. You’ll explain that you found your father’s amulet on your desk and that you want to tell your brother because he needs to know. 

Flump will ask if you’re asking him this or telling him that you want to leave work. There are two different options to choose from. Both of them will eventually lead to the same outcome, so feel free to take your pick.

He will allow you to go and see your brother.

Proceed to the Hogsmeade 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. On your way to see your brother, you’ll meet Penny, who will ask why you’re in a hurry.

She will tell you that everything is wonderful and that the housemates have been getting along so well with Barnaby. She’ll express how comfortable she feels living in a house full of friends.

You’ll tell her that you’ll visit them again soon. At that moment, your brother Jacob will appear, and Penny will leave you two alone to talk. Jacob will ask what’s going on, mentioning that he hopes it’s important since he interrupted a date with Olivia.

You’ll tell him not to worry because you’ve tested it, and the amulet is no longer cursed. This line will differ based on your previous choice.

He will suggest starting over by discussing who sent you the amulet. To discuss who sent the amulet, 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 Jacob, Madam Villanelle,  and your character. Prioritize these actions to save some energy. Slide the screen left and right to check all available actions. 

Jacob thinks your father is alive and sent the amulet. He’ll ask for your opinion on this. There are two different options to choose from. Both of them will eventually lead to the same outcome, so feel free to take your pick.

Your conversation will be interrupted by Merula’s aunt, who will confront Jacob.

She will disappear so quickly that you won’t be able to react in time.

Now that you have completed the story, you can start the 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 Three Broomsticks to start the mandatory chapter task. Hagrid needs your help to choose an appropriate gift for Harry Potter’s 12th birthday.

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.
