Chapter 7 – Jacob’s Room

Introduction

Hello everyone, welcome to our Walkthrough for Chapter Seven of Year Three of Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery. In the previous chapter, you visited Zonko’s with Tulip in order to procure the Jumbo Dungbomb for her ultimate prank.

The shopkeeper, Bilton Bilmes, told you that in exchange for it, you’d have to obtain some items for him. You managed to get the baby Mandrake from the Herbology Class and you helped Madam Rosmerta in exchange for a rare butterbeer.

Also, Rowan showed you the strange letter that was left on your bed. Afterward, you went to Zonko’s and got the Jumbo Dungbomb for Tulip’s ultimate prank. Later on, you used it on Merula and her cronies with great success.

Both Barnaby and Ismelda were chased away, and you were able to confront Merula about the second key for Jacob’s room. However, you had to duel her to get it, which wasn’t much of a challenge for you.

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

Now that you have both of the keys, you can finally open your brother’s room. There is, however, a waiting period of three hours before you can do so. Instead, you should focus on the lessons part of the chapter first. Hit the GO button and proceed to the Training Grounds.

To unlock Loop-the-Loop lesson, you need to earn a total of six stars from Flying Class. There are various ways to do so, some faster than others, but less rewarding and others more rewarding but slower to complete. Pick a class combination that suits you the most and hit the Start button to begin.

As for these classes, follow the usual routine – tap on the glowing objects to complete actions. This will fill up the star meter and earn you stars. Focus on the bonus progress actions in order to optimize energy usage.

And as always, complete mini-tasks successfully to gain additional Courage points. When you are done, hit the Collect button to continue.

After earning enough stars to unlock the lesson, you can head back to the Training Grounds to attend it.

Completing Loop-the-Loop requires you to earn five stars within three hours. Since you need all five stars to pass, it is highly recommended to have full energy before starting.

This lesson should be done in a similar way as any of the other classes. Simply follow the same guidelines and you’ll be done in no time.

When you obtain all five stars, you will be tasked with demonstrating Loop-the-Loop. Trace the path on the screen to perform this maneuver.

Hit the Collect button to claim your rewards and continue. This will increase your energy limit by one, which will make completing future tasks and lessons a bit easier. You can also claim an additional reward in the Flying section of your Hogwarts Record.

One down, one to go. Proceed to the Transfiguration classroom for your second lesson of the chapter.

Similar to the previous one, this lesson also requires you to earn a total of six stars in order to unlock it. One of the quickest ways to do so is by taking three one-hour classes, but if you want to gain some extra rewards, you might want to consider a different class combination, such as two eight-hour classes.

Normally, do these classes like any other so far and you shouldn’t have any issues with them.

Once you acquire enough stars, Owl to Opera Glasses lesson should be unlocked, so head back to the classroom to attend it.

Completing this lesson requires you to earn five stars within three hours. All of the stars are needed to pass, which is why it is recommended to have full energy before starting it.

Like before, complete actions by tapping on the glowing objects. This will fill up the star meter and you’ll earn the stars you need to complete the lesson.

And try your best to successfully complete mini-tasks. This will award you with additional Knowledge attribute points.

When you obtain all five stars, you will be tasked with turning your owl into opera glasses. Trace the wand movement on the screen to cast the spell.

Now that the lessons part of the chapter is done, you can continue the story. Proceed to meet Tulip in the corridor near Jacob’s room.

Before you open the door, Tulip will ask if you are sure about doing this. You can answer in three different ways. This choice won’t affect the story much, so feel free to pick whichever option you prefer the most.

You’ll then enter the room and be greeted by none other than the Dark Lord himself!

This will terrify both you and Tulip, and you’ll immediately run away, horror-struck. After you calm down, Tulip will figure out that it wasn’t actually Voldemort, but a Boggart assuming his form.

Professor Snape will arrive and warn you to cease your pursuit of the vaults if you don’t want to end up like your brother.

As soon as he leaves, you’ll tell Tulip that you need to find a way to learn Riddikulus Charm in order to defeat Boggart.

Perhaps there is a book in the library that could help you learn that spell? That is where you should go next.

Once you are in the library, you’ll notice the speech bubbles above some of the students. Tap on them if you want to see what they have to say.

You’ll inform Madam Pince that you are trying to learn the Boggart-Banishing Charn, Riddikulus. Madam Pince will inform you where the books about Defence Against the Dark Arts are located.

Finding the scroll will require you to earn five stars within three hours. Only one star is needed to pass, so it should be an easy task to accomplish.

Slide the screen left and right and you’ll be able to see all the available actions. There are bonus progress actions tied to the bookshelves in front of your character and Tulip. Focus on those actions to save energy.

Once you get all five stars, you’ll stumble upon some faded old scrolls. You’ll need to cast Lumos to be able to see the writings on them. Trace the path on the screen to cast the Wand-Lighting Charm.

It will turn out to be the Riddikulus scroll. Tulip will approach you and ask why your Boggart took the form of Voldemort. You have three options to respond with.

It is recommended to go with any of the first two choices as long as you meet the attribute requirements. Not only will those options award you with ten attribute points each, but if you select either of them, Madam Pince will award you with ten House Points as well.

Your next task is learning Riddikulus. Unfortunately, you will need to wait eight hours before you can do so. When you are able to continue, proceed to the Artefact Room to meet Tulip.

She will say that you need to learn the Boggart-Banishing Charm before you go back into Jacob’s room. Luckily, Tulip already learned that spell and she’ll be willing to teach it to you.

She’ll also tell you there’s a Boggart in the Artefact Room. She will ask if you are ready to face it after learning the spell. You can respond in two ways.

Simply go with the first option if your Courage is level fifteen or above. You’ll then get the task to learn Riddikulus.

To learn the Boggart-Banishing Charm, you need to earn five stars within three hours. All five stars are required to pass.

There are bonus progress actions tied to the cabinet and your character. Prioritize them if you are looking to save some energy.

When you complete the task, you’ll need to cast the Unlocking Charm to open the locked cabinet and release the Boggart. Trace the wand movement on the screen to do so.

Immediately upon unlocking it, the Boggart will exit the cabinet and assume the form of Tulip’s biggest fear – Merula. You’ll then have to trace the wand movement on the screen to cast Riddikulus Charm.

The spell will work and the result will be something utterly hilarious.

Now that you have learned the Boggart-Banishing Spell, you can finally confront the one in Jacob’s room. But one mystery remains unsolved – why did Tulip’s Boggart take shape of Merula? After asking her this, she will tell you to meet her in the Great Hall.

At the Great Hall, you will ask her again about Boggart taking shape of Merula. Tulip will say that she isn’t afraid of Merula, but of something they did to each other long ago.

You’ll receive a new task – talking with Tulip. This one behaves in a similar manner to Meal With a Friend mini-game, so you should be pretty familiar with the way it works. The task window will display the recommended attribute levels as well as the cost.

The best advice is to try to be friendly and supportive. These kinds of answers will usually work well and you’ll fill up the diamond meter in no time. Below are the questions and answers to them.

• You wouldn’t understand… – I had a difficult past too. (Empathy)
• But this was all my fault… – We’ve all made mistakes, Tulip. (Knowledge)
• Have you betrayed someone? – I feel like I betrayed my brother… (Empathy)
• Were your parents strict? – They were…distant. (Courage)
• I can’t maintain friendships… – I trust you, Tulip. (Knowledge)
• Do you trust me? – Yes. You’re my friend. (Courage)

Once you are done, Tulip will reveal some more information about her past partnership with Merula. She was a friend of Merula the minute they arrived at Hogwarts. Merula is of a rebellious nature because her parents are in Azkaban. Unlike her, Tulip spent her whole life living with strict rules because her parents work for the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. When Tulip met Merula, she could finally be free, with a best friend to break rules with.

When they heard about the Cursed Vaults, they wished to be the first who would find them, to prove how powerful they are. But Tulip wished glory only for herself and she betrayed Merula. She hid the clues and never shared them with her best friend. After Merula found out, they had a fight.

Because they couldn’t make any progress, they didn’t wish for anyone to access Jacob’s room. They’ve made a lock with two keys, Tulip took one key and another one was taken by Merula. Now, Tulip believes Merula has the right to be angry at her, and she is afraid to make new friends because she doesn’t know if she’ll betray them.

Your next task will be returning to Jacob’s room and facing your Boggart. However, there is a waiting period of eight hours before you are able to do so. Once the waiting time is over, proceed to your brother’s room to Meet Tulip.

When you get there, Boggart Voldemort will return and Tulip will ask you to be brave. You have two options to choose from.

There isn’t much of a difference in the outcome of this choice, so as long as your Courage is at level sixteen or above, you should go with the first choice to maximize the attribute points gained.

You’ll then need to cast Riddikulus. Trace the wand movement on the screen to cast the Boggart-Banishing Spell.

Thankfully, the spell will work and the Boggart will take a new and funnier form.

After that, you’ll need to cast Lumos to illuminate the room a bit.

Your next task is searching the room for any clues that could lead you to the next vault. In order to do so, you’ll have to earn five stars within three hours. Only one star is required to pass, so overall, this shouldn’t be too difficult.

There are bonus progress actions tied to the book, the sketch, the crates, and the board. Focus on those actions to optimize energy usage. 

When you are done, you’ll discover a note saying that the most probable location of the next vault is somewhere within the library. You’ll decide to notify your friends and ask them to help you search the library. In the meantime, Tulip will continue looking for clues in Jacob’s room. She’ll tell you to come to her in case you find anything.

This will conclude Chapter 7 of Year 3. Hit the Collect button to claim your rewards. You will receive 250 Coins and 1000 Experience points.

What will happen next? Will you figure out if the Cursed Vault is actually within the Library? Find out in the next chapter of Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery!
