When you arrive, you’ll discover that a special guest is at Hogwarts, and Penny will then ask if you’ve ever heard of Nicolas Flamel.

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.

Penny will add that Nicolas even created a real Philosopher’s Stone; he can do all sorts of things, including making the Elixir of Life, which can grant immortality to anyone who drinks it.

You will learn that Nicolas Flamel is looking for student volunteers to assist him with his lecture at St Mungo’s. This is a rare opportunity to work with Flamel because he rarely leaves his home in Devon. You may never get another chance like this. 

You and Penny will agree to volunteer. However, you will also notice that Merula wants to sign up, so it will be competitive. Penny will mention that some people say alchemy is too powerful and interferes with the laws of nature. She will then ask, with all that in mind, what you think about the study of alchemy.

There are three different options to choose from. These options will influence some dialogue that will follow, but they won’t impact the story.

Following that, Mr. Flamel will address you, adding that he will need to test your knowledge, which will determine whether you will be accepted as a volunteer. He will select three students to assist him at his St. Mungo’s lecture. You and Penny will immediately decide that it’s time to head to the library and start studying as soon as possible.

Go to the Library to continue the story. However, in the library, you will encounter a problem: all the alchemy books have already been checked out. You will also notice that Merula has taken a large amount of study material, so you will decide to approach her and ask if she might be willing to share. She will respond by asking why she should share and potentially increase the competition.

Go to St. Mungo’s to continue the story. There, you will meet Flamel, and he will say that before his lecture in the Alchemy Room, he wants to take a moment to establish expectations. You must decide how each of you will fulfill your duties. He has three roles in mind. Firstly, he needs an affable, trustworthy volunteer to help him demonstrate alchemical techniques. 

In addition, he requires an intelligent, detail-oriented volunteer to take notes throughout. Finally, he seeks a capable, observant volunteer to keep an eye on the crowd for anything untoward. He will suggest that you discuss who should take which role.

To discuss roles, you need to earn five stars within eight hours. The three stars are required to pass.

In any case, he will decide that it will be Penny. Then he will ask, Which student volunteer do you recommend to take the role of note-taker? Choose the option you prefer, but he will ultimately select Merula anyway.

You will be assigned the role of observant volunteer, with the addition that Dumbledore mentioned you as someone who can be relied upon in a potentially dangerous situation. He has brought a powerful object with him for his lecture, and it is of utmost importance to keep it safe.

This will mark the end of Part 1 of The Alchemist Special Adventure. Hit the Collect button to claim your reward. You will receive 300 Coins.

Part 2 concludes with you becoming part of an extraordinary opportunity to participate in a lecture by Nicolas Flamel himself, the man who created the real Philosopher’s Stone. Through quizzes and preparations, you demonstrated your knowledge, teamwork, and the maturity required to be a volunteer in such a powerful and important setting.

This adventure showed you the value of learning from the most experienced, respecting the power of magic, and approaching tasks with responsibility, knowing they can have far-reaching consequences. Studying alchemy and working with Flamel is not just an academic experience—it is a lesson in trust, discipline, and understanding true power.
