Gryffindor Celebration Part 3

Introduction

Hello everyone, welcome to Part 3 of our Walkthrough for Gryffindor Celebration Adventure of Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery. In the previous part, you went to the Potions Classroom to find some salamander blood because you needed it to reveal the next clue. There you met Ismelda, who told you that Professor Snape has no more salamander blood, but luckily Ben remembered that Ismelda always carries salamander blood with her because she loves the way it smells, so you asked her if she could lend you some. After a short discussion with her, she agreed to give it to you, but in return, she asked you to help her get the Punguous Onion from the top shelf.

After you helped her, she fulfilled her promise and gave you some salamander blood, and you told Ben to spill a few drops on the parchment, where a new riddle appeared. After analyzing that riddle, you decided to follow the clue and go talk to the Head of Gryffindor, Professor McGonagall. When you went to the Transfiguration Classroom, you asked the professor for help in solving that Gryffindor puzzle. After a short discussion, you learned about the incident of a young Gryffindor who accidentally spilled Wartcap powder on himself, which can be very dangerous, but luckily Professor McGonagall was there to save him, which gave you the idea that this is the thing that can help you solve that puzzle and get the next clue.

You then headed over to Ben to tell him your findings. Penny and Ben were waiting for you there, where you told them what you found out, and after a short discussion, Penny said that all you found so far were the ingredients for the Fire Protection Potion, and you suggested that you make it right away. After you made the potion, you spilled a few drops on the parchment, and suddenly the final puzzle appeared. You thought about how to solve the riddle and decided to consult the other Gryffindors to help you solve the riddle and solve the mystery.

(Disclaimer: This walkthrough will feature the gameplay from the perspective of a graduate student who belongs to Gryffindor House. Since the adventure is available for students of Year 3 and above, some dialogue, the star, and attribute requirements for certain tasks might be different for you, depending on your current progress with the main story.)

Proceed to Gryffindor House 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 be surprised to see that many have come to help you.

Ben will comment that everyone is very curious to see if you can solve the Gryffindor puzzle without getting terribly hurt. This line will differ based on which house you belong to.

Ben will say that he has been thinking about the final lines of the last clue.

He’ll then add that the more he thinks about it, the more he’s convinced that the riddle is asking you to confront a great beast, like a dragon, and he will ask for your opinion. There are three different options to choose from. These options will influence some dialogue that will follow, but they won’t impact the story.

Then, you’ll suggest talking to the other Gryffindors to seek their help and share their knowledge to successfully solve the puzzle. To discuss the final clue, 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 the girl next to Charlie and Ben. Prioritize these actions to save some energy. Slide the screen left and right to check all available actions. 

When you finish, you’ll comment that you’ve heard a lot of useful information about Gryffindor. You’ll add that you may have a new theory about the last clue and mention that a few of you pointed out that the Gryffindor sigil is a lion encased in fire. This line will differ based on which house you belong to.

You’ll say that perhaps the clue isn’t about putting the parchment in the fire of a dangerous creature at all. Instead, it might be suggested to put the parchment in the Gryffindor fireplace – “the fire of the lion.”

Following that, you’ll throw the parchment into the fire, hoping that it will solve the final puzzle.

After a few moments, a new message will appear.

You and Ben will be very happy that you’ve solved this mystery, but Ben will say that the names signed on the parchment are quite strange, and he’s not sure if he’s heard of those Gryffindors. You’ll tell him that you recognize them from the Marauder’s Map but don’t know much about them.

Ben will wonder who these Gryffindors really are, adding that they might be famous and you might get to meet them. You’ll tell him that you know someone who can tell you more about them.

Go to the Dumbledore’s Office to meet with Professor Dumbledore. When you arrive, you’ll thank him for meeting you.

You’ll explain to him that you and Ben have been working for some time on a puzzle Ben found in the Gryffindor Common Room. This line will differ based on which house you belong to.

You’ll then say that after considerable effort and with help from Professor McGonagall, Sir Nick, and countless Gryffindors, you’ve finally managed to solve the puzzle and uncover the final message from its makers.

He will say that he knows who these names refer to and will ask you what you want to know about them. There are three different options to choose from. All of them will eventually lead to the same outcome, so feel free to take your pick.

In any case, Professor Dumbledore will say that there are a few other things you should know about them.

To learn the puzzle’s history, 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 Professor Dumbledore. Prioritize these actions to save some energy. 

When you finish, the Headmaster will say that the four Gryffindors who designed this puzzle were quite promising. He’ll add that they were always looking for ways to challenge one another and prove themselves great. Professor Dumbledore will say that being great isn’t always easy for them. There are three different options to choose from. These options will influence some dialogue that will follow, but they won’t impact the story.

The professor will explain that greatness is something you all must strive for, adding that it rarely comes naturally. This line will differ based on your previous choice.

Professor Dumbledore will then add that what set them apart was their determination, much like Ben and you. The professor will further add that Ben was very determined to prove himself and that you were also determined to help him. Ben’s reaction will differ based on the year you attend.

Then Dumbledore will tell you to remember that more than the bravery that puzzle demanded or the chivalry you may have exhibited along the way, he’ll add that the hallmark of a true Gryffindor lies in their refusal to give up when life is at its most difficult. You’ll say that you worked quite hard to successfully solve the puzzle and add that there were plenty of opportunities to give up, but fortunately, you didn’t. These lines will differ based on the year you attend.

Professor Dumbledore will say that he believes the makers of that puzzle would be impressed. You’ll tell the professor that, despite him telling you a lot about them, there are still some unanswered questions. He’ll say that you shouldn’t worry about that, adding that he believes those questions will be answered in time.

This line will differ based on which house you belong to.
