Chapter 20 – Love and Unicorns

Introduction

Hello everyone, welcome to our Walkthrough for Chapter Twenty of Beyond Hogwarts: Volume One of Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery. In the previous chapter, you met with Olivia and informed her that your friend Jae finally found the Moste Potente Potions Book, which is needed for your brother Jacob to break the curse. You asked her if she would help you work on Jacob’s experimental curse-reversing potion, which she gladly accepted. Later, your colleague Callum joined you, and together you began working on your connected cases. 

After examining the evidence, you discovered that the ink on all of it came from an unidentified plant. You decided to seek help from your former professor, Sprout. When you returned to Hogwarts, Professor Sprout was glad to see you and eager to assist. After examining the ink together, you concluded that it came from a foxglove plant. Then, you decided to meet with Corey to see if she could help you further. You asked her if she knew who Felix Grooves was, and she mentioned that her family had dealings with him through his secretary, Eris. Corey’s information heightened your suspicions. 

You explained to Corey that you believed Felix Grooves was using the cursed quill to forge signatures. Despite Corey’s initial disbelief, she understood your concerns and thanked you for the warning. Meanwhile, you attended your weekly gathering with friends, where you encouraged Barnaby after his unfortunate incident.

Later, you met with Olivia and Jacob, where Jacob’s behavior became timid in Olivia’s presence due to his feelings for her. Despite the unexpected tension, you all began working on the potion. After discovering that you needed one more ingredient, shards of unicorn horn, Olivia and Jacob finally expressed their true feelings for each other, asking for privacy. You came up with the idea to seek help from your esteemed friends, the centaurs.

Video guides are available on our YouTube channel. Use the button below.

Proceed to the Centaur Camp in the Forbidden Forest when you are ready to meet with Firenze. When you arrive, Firenze will warmly welcome you.

He’ll express that he sees that your quest for centaur knowledge continues, but he’ll wonder why you’ve come alone this time instead of with Mr. Diggory. You’ll explain that this time you’re not here for centaur studies but rather need his assistance in finding the final ingredient missing for your brother Jacob’s potion. 

However, you’ll notice that your friend Firenze seems deeply concerned, so you’ll inquire about what’s troubling him.

He will tell you that something terrible happened to the unicorn in the Forbidden Forest and suggest that he tell you more details about it.

To learn about the unicorn, 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.

The bonus progress actions are tied to Firenze. Prioritize these actions to save some energy. 

You’ll learn that Harry Potter found a unicorn that was killed in the Forbidden Forest.

Following that, he’ll ask you what you think of these developments. There are three different options to choose from. These options will influence some dialogue that will follow, but they won’t impact the story.

In any case, he’ll thank you for sharing your thoughts and then ask you which ingredient you’re missing for the potion. You’ll feel a bit uncomfortable because you need a unicorn horn specifically.

Luckily, your centaur friend will show understanding, and he’ll provide you with a unicorn horn.

You’ll thank him profusely and immediately decide to return to Jacob and Olivia. However, Firenze will warn you to be careful when traveling through the Forbidden Forest.

Before that, you’ll have a waiting time of 4 hours.

When the waiting time is over, go to the Alchemy Room at St. Mungo to make the potion. When you arrive there, you’ll see that Jacob and Olivia are enjoying the moment and having fun.

They’ll be a bit shy when they see you.

You’ll then ask them if they’ve had a chance to talk about their feelings. Jacob will say they did while you were in the Forbidden Forest, adding that he’ll explain to you what happened between them, and you can share your thoughts on it.

To hear out Jacob and Olivia, you need to earn five stars within eight hours. Three stars are required to pass.

Bonus progress actions are tied to Jacob and Olivia. Prioritize these actions to save some energy. 

After finishing, you’ll learn that they finally confessed their true feelings for each other and talked for hours. They’ve decided to give dating a try. There are two options to choose from. If you like Jacob and Olivia, it is recommended to pick the first option.

It’s a lovely scene, isn’t it?

These lines will differ based on your previous choice in the previous chapter. 

Olivia will add that they want to take this journey together, no matter what happens.

Following that, you’ll suggest brewing your experimental potion to reverse Jacob’s Conjunctivitis Curse, and Jacob will be glad that you’ve found the last ingredient. These lines will differ based on your previous choice. 

In any case, you’ll let them know if you find out more about that case and suggest that you start working on the potion right away. Olivija will listen to you and immediately put the final ingredient into the potion.

Jacob will say he has a very good feeling that the potion will work.

Olivia will say that, unfortunately, it will take a few days before the potion is ready to be consumed.

However, you’ll warn Jacob to be patient, and you’ll decide to return to your work, to your case, which needs to be resolved as soon as possible.

Proceed to your Workspace when you are ready to regroup with Callum. You’ll see that Callum and Snout are getting along nicely.

Shortly after, you’ll mention that you’ve made loads of progress in your cursed quill investigation. You’ll explain to Callum that since you last spoke, you took the ink sample to Professor Sprout for analysis, and together you concluded that the ink comes from a plant called Foxglove. 

You’ll also say that there’s more to it and that you’ve learned something that relates to the art gallery fire. You will add that you meet your friend Corey, whose parents own an antique shop, and it turns out that they’ve done business with Felix Grooves through his secretary, Eris.

This line will differ based on your previous choice in the previous chapter. 

Callum will agree that it’s an interesting theory, adding that he’s been doing some research of his own. He’ll say that he searched every possible database available to the ROCC, and the mysterious Felix Groves doesn’t appear anywhere. This line will differ based on your previous choice in the previous chapter. 

You’ll wonder if perhaps the name itself is the clue you’re looking for. Calum will agree that it’s worth digging out, adding that it might be an anagram.

To decode Felix Grooves, 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 Callum, Snout, and your character. Prioritize these actions to save some energy. 

Once you finish, you’ll conclude that if you rearrange the letters in Felix Grooves, you’re able to spell foxglove.

However, your colleague will add that you’re left with four extra letters.

Callum will say that since you’re right that it’s an anagram, he’ll ask you which word you think is the most likely possibility. The correct answer is “Eris”.

You’ll realize that perhaps no one has met Felix Grooves, because he’s actually Eris Foxglove. Then you’ll decide to meet with Corey and see what else she can tell you about her interactions with Eris.

Callum will ask you which place you will try first. This choice will affect the location of the next task, however, it has no effect on the story, so choose the place you like better.

Calum will wish you luck and suggest regrouping once you gather more information. Before your meeting with Corey, you’ll have a waiting time of 3 hours.

(Location in this task will differ based on your previous choice).

When the waiting time is over, proceed to the Three Broomsticks/Maestro’s Music Shop 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. Corey will be glad to see you and say she has some news for you.

She’ll say that since you last spoke, she went back to her parents’ antique shop, and they reviewed all the certificates of authenticity from any antiques Felix Grooves sold them, unfortunately, they turned out to be forgeries.

She’ll add that it’s even worse than that, as they haven’t been able to reach Felix or his secretary, Eris. You’ll tell her you have a theory about that, but you’ll ask her to tell you everything about her interactions with Eris first.

To learn about Eris, 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 Penny, Corey, and your character. Prioritize these actions to save some energy.

Corey will tell you that Eris was always changing her look, adding that her hair was a different color every time she came in. You’ll ask Corey about Eris’s quill, and she’ll explain to you that she always carried a Fwooper feather quill, which was bright yellow and pink.

You won’t be pleased to hear that, so you’ll explain your and Callum’s theory about the name Felix Grooves. You’ll tell her that you believe that Felix Grooves isn’t a real person but rather just an anagram for Eris and the plant foxglove.

You’ll add that Eris’s greed killed your partner and that finding her means finding that quill and finally closing the case. You’ll say that your only lead is knowing Eris’s homemade ink came from Foxglove, and you’ll wonder how many places Foxglove grows in this area. 

Suddenly, you’ll get the idea to ask Ismelda, whom you’ve learned is a poisonous plant expert, hoping that she won’t reject you this time.

Proceed to Fitzy Flourpuff’s Enchanted Cakery to find Ismelda. 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. 

Of course, when Ismelda sees you, she’ll immediately start to leave. However, you’ll block her path and won’t let her pass.

You’ll ask Ismelda to stay because you need her help, but she’ll say she has no reason to help you. Nevertheless, you’ll politely insist, but even that won’t sway her. Then she’ll ask you what else do you have to convince her. The correct answer is ‘Bribe Ismelda with cake’.

She’ll accept your offer in exchange for a cake, but she’ll say that you have to choose her favorite cake flavor. The correct answer is ‘Rainbow’.

She’ll say that she agreed to help you only because of the free cake, and she’ll be concerned that her cake habit might get out, which could ruin her reputation. There are two options to choose from. If you like Ismelda, it is recommended to pick the first option.

Then she’ll ask you how she can help, and you’ll tell her that you’re trying to find places nearby where Foxglove grows.

To discover Foxglove locations, 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.

The bonus progress actions are tied to Ismelda. Prioritize these actions to save some energy. Slide the screen left and right to check all available actions. 

Ismelda will explain to you that Foxglove grows in acid soil, needs shade to grow, and is partial to ground that’s been recently disturbed. 

However, you’ll say that it can be described almost anywhere. Ismelda will assure you that it’s not the case if you know where to look, and she’ll tell you that she collects Foxgloves In the Magical Creatures Reserve.

Shortly after, you’ll decide to return to your work.

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 your Flat to start the mandatory chapter task. You’ll meet with Merula, who needs help getting fired from the Head’s Hog Inn.

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 your Flat.

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

Choose the optional tasks you like. You can Organise Workspace where you can gain Dragon Experience Points, Centaur Studies in the Centaur Camp where you can gain Dragon Experience Points and Magizoologist Experience Points, and Take a break at the Break Room where you can earn additional Hippogriff Club Experience Points.

Also, 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.

This will conclude Chapter 20 of Beyond Hogwarts: Volume 1. You will receive 400 Coins and 2000 Experience Points.

Will you manage to find any additional clues that will lead you to Eris? How will Jacob and Olivia’s relationship progress? Who is behind the murder of the unicorn in the Forbidden Forest? There are still many unanswered questions. Stay with us to find out.
