Once you start, Hagrid will ask you to meet him in his garden, so proceed there when you are ready.

When you arrive, you’ll notice a Graphorn standing in the garden, so you’ll ask Hagrid about it.

He’ll tell you he recently befriended the creature.

You’ll notice that the place is in a state of mess. Hagrid will suddenly realize that the creature completely ruined his garden.

He will decide to tell you all about the Graphorn.

To complete this task, you need to earn five stars within one hour. Three stars are required to pass.

There is a bonus progress action tied to Hagrid. Prioritizing it should save you a bit of energy.

You will sum up some of the most important things about Graphorns.

You’ll get to choose a trait you find the most interesting. There are three options to choose from. This choice won’t significantly impact the story, so feel free to pick the option you prefer.

Shortly after, you will ask Hagrid to tell you how a Graphorn ended up in his garden. You’ll also notice that the creature looks very tired.

Hagrid will say that he rescued the creature from a mountain troll. You’ll be quite surprised to hear that.

If you’ve adopted the Graphorn, you’ll get an additional line of dialogue.

Hagrid will tell you he brought the creature to his garden to rest.

You’ll ask him if the Graphorn got hurt during the encounter with the troll. Luckily, that wasn’t the case.

You’ll wonder why he didn’t take it to the Magical Creatures Reserve. Hagrid will explain that the creature just wouldn’t stay put.

Apparently, that’s the reason he asked you to meet him. He’ll say that he needs your help with the Graphorn.

He will ask you to bond with the creature and figure out why it won’t stay put in the Reserve. These lines will differ slightly if you’ve already adopted the Graphorn.

You’ll gladly agree to help Hagrid. You will also decide to ask one of your creature-loving friends to join you.

Your next task is to unlock the Graphorn. To complete this task, you will need 25 Red, 40 Blue, 30 Yellow Notebooks, and Magizoology level 5. Luckily, this side quest is not time-limited, so you can take as long as you need to complete this task.

When you are done, go to the Desert Dunes area of the Magical Creatures Reserve to visit the Graphorn.

Barnaby will be quite surprised to see the creature. He’ll find the Graphorn incredibly cute. That definitely wasn’t the word you were expecting.

He will ask if you agree with him. There are two options to reply with. This choice won’t significantly impact the story, so feel free to go with either option.

Barnaby will feel like hugging the Graphorn. Unfortunately, the creature won’t be in the mood for hugs.

You will advise him to be careful, the Graphorn doesn’t know him well enough to let him close.

Shortly after, you will start bonding with the creature. To complete this task, you will need to earn five stars within three hours. Three stars are required to pass.

There are bonus progress actions tied to your character, Barnaby, and the Graphorn. Focus on those actions if you want to save energy.

Thankfully, the bonding session will be quite successful.

Barnaby will be very happy about it.

Now you need to figure out why the creature won’t stay put in the Reserve. The whole situation will remind Barnaby of the time the two of you became friends.

You’ll figure out that he and Graphorn have some things in common. They are both quite friendly when you get to know them better.

Barnaby will chuckle and say that both of them like to wander off as well. You’ll be slightly surprised by his words. Suddenly, you will realize that Graphorn is nowhere to be seen.

Apparently, your friend saw the creature leave the place, but he didn’t mention it.

He’ll apologize to you for not saying anything. There are two options for you to reply with. If you like Barnaby, it is highly recommended to pick the first option.

In any case, you will need to find the Graphorn as soon as possible. Barnaby will tell you he saw the creature heading towards the school. Shortly after, you and your friend will go after the Graphorn.

Head to the Care of Magical Creatures when you are ready to continue. You’ll find Professor Kettleburn standing near the Graphorn.

By the looks of it, the creature has made a mess of the classroom. You will say that the Graphorn didn’t mean to wreck the classroom. You will also mention that the creature does have a habit of making a mess of things.

Professor Kettleburn will ask if the creature is yours. You’ll explain that Graphorn is from the Magical Creatures Reserve, and that you and Barnaby are investigating why it keeps leaving the Reserve.

By the looks of it, you’ll need to take responsibility for the mess the creature caused.

Barnaby will quickly say that he was the one responsible for what happened.

You can choose to take full responsibility, share the blame, or let Barnaby take the blame. If you like Barnaby, it is recommended to pick the first option.

Bear in mind that you will lose 5 house points if you pick the first option. If you choose the second one, your house and Slytherin will lose 5 house points each (if you are Slytherin, your house will lose 10 points). Lastly, if you go with the third option, Slytherin will lose 5 points.

In any case, you still need to figure out why the Graphorn keeps escaping.

Professor Kettleburn will be willing to help you solve the mystery by examining the creature. In return, you and Barnaby will need to clean up the classroom.

You need to earn five stars within three hours to complete this task. All five stars are required to pass.

Make sure to slide the screen left and right to see all the available actions. There is a bonus progress action tied to Professor Kettleburn. Prioritize it to save energy.

You’ll tell Professor Kettleburn you tidied up the classroom. You will ask if he learned anything from his examination.

He’ll tell you that it is odd for a Graphorn to be alone because usually, they form family herds. After examination, Professor Kettleburn learned that your Graphorn is a mother.

You will be surprised to hear that. As for Barnaby, he’ll be overjoyed.

Everything will finally start to make sense. Graphorn is destroying things because she’s frustrated at not finding her baby.

You’ll decide to head back to Hagrid and search for the baby Graphorn. Go to Hagrid’s garden when you are ready to continue. You’ll approach Hagrid and tell him you solved the mystery.

You’ll ask him to tell you about how he found the Graphorn.

You need to earn five stars within three hours to complete this task. Three stars are required to pass.

There is an action with bonus progress tied to Barnaby. Focus on it to save energy.

According to Hagrid, the Graphorn was fighting a mountain troll when he found her. Unfortunately, he’ll have trouble remembering where it was.

He will, however, recall that the Graphorn was trying to get into the troll cave. You’ll quickly figure out that the baby is inside the cave.

Barnaby will wonder why a mountain troll kidnapped a baby Graphorn. There are three options to reply with. The correct answer is ‘to tame it’.

You’ll ask Hagrid to show you where he found the Graphorn.

Next, you will need to reach level 4 trust with the Graphorn. Since this side quest is not time-limited, you can take as long as you need to finish this task.

Go to the forest area of Magical Creatures Reserve once you are done.

After going through the forest for a while, Hagrid will say you are close to the place he found the Graphorn. You’ll notice a lot of creature tracks in the area.

You will decide to examine the tracks and see if any of them belong to the baby Graphorn. Before you start, Hagrid will tell you that Graphorns have four thumb-like toes.

Checking the tracks requires earning five stars within three hours. All five stars are needed to pass.

There are bonus progress actions tied to Barnaby and the Graphorn. Prioritize those actions to save energy.

Eventually, you’ll find a set of tracks. Hagrid will ask if you think they belong to a Graphorn. There are three options to choose from. The correct answer is ‘it’s a Graphorn track’.

Hagrid will notice that the tracks lead to a nearby grove. Suddenly, the Graphorn will start following the tracks.

You’ll quickly decide to go after her. Go to the forest grove when you are ready to continue.

Once you arrive, you’ll notice that the Graphorn is preparing to charge the mountain troll.

You will quickly decide to do something. You’ll approach the troll and cast the Banishing Charm.

Dueling the mountain troll is your next task. The task window will display the recommended attribute levels and the cost of the duel.

The troll has three different moves, one for each stance. Its Aggressive stance move will hit you for 13 points of damage. Its Defensive stance move will heal it for 8 points, and its Sneaky move will hit you for 6 points of damage and stun you for 1 turn. Because of that, it is recommended to go Sneaky and cast Flipendo on every turn. This way, you are almost guaranteed to win the duel.

The troll will leave the place once you defeat it.

You’ll notice that the Graphorn is completely exhausted. Unfortunately, she never had the chance to rest. You’ll decide to wait until the creature is well-rested.

Barnaby will wonder how you are planning to track down the mountain troll. There are two options to reply with. This choice won’t significantly impact the story, so feel free to pick either option.

You will need to reach level 7 trust with the Graphorn before you can continue. You can take as long as you need to complete this task since the side quest is not time-limited.

When you are done, head to the forest lake to look for the baby Graphorn. When you arrive, you won’t see the mountain troll anywhere.

Your previous choice will take effect here.

You’ll wonder if there is a way to lure out the baby Graphorn and the troll. Barnaby will say that he’s been practicing his Graphorn calls.

Moments later, he’ll call for the creature.

The Graphorn will join him.

He’ll ask you to join them. There are two options to choose from. If you like Barnaby, it is recommended to pick the first option.

After a short while, the baby Graphorn will show up.

Unfortunately, the troll won’t let it near its mother. You’ll ask Barnaby and Hagrid to distract the troll while you take the baby to safety.

You need to earn five stars within eight hours to complete this task. All five stars are required to pass.

There are bonus progress actions tied to the troll, Hagrid, and your character. Focus on those actions to save energy.

Thankfully, your friends will manage to chase the troll away, and the baby will be happily reunited with its mother.

Barnaby will find the baby completely adorable. You’ll be glad that everything ended up well. The Graphorn will thank you for saving her baby.

Hagrid will say he is glad he asked for your help.
