The Hogsmeade Hag Part 3

Intoduction

Hello everyone, welcome to our Walkthrough section for The Hogsmeade Hag Part 3 of Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery! In the previous part, you and Tonks discovered that the recent blight ruining Hogsmeade’s crops wasn’t simply a random misfortune.

After investigating, you found that a nearby hag, upset by villagers encroaching on her property, had been inadvertently causing the rot with her magical potions. She agreed to help reverse the damage — but only if you could find her missing pet, Noggin. With the harvest at stake and a new mission set, you now prepare to track down Noggin and restore Hogsmeade to its former glory.

Proceed to Hagrid’s Garden when you are ready. When you arrive at Hagrid’s, you explain the entire situation that has struck Hogsmeade — how it relates to his pumpkins, the Nogtail you’re trying to track down, and your meeting with the hag. He will then ask you what you think about the hag.

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 short, after that, you will begin searching for evidence of Noggin to prevent the rot from spreading.To listen to search for clues, you need to earn five stars within three hours.

Go to the Training Grounds to continue the story. 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.

You will see Professor Kettleburn trying to catch Noggin, but when Noggin spots you, it will get startled and run off. Kettleburn will get a bit frustrated and will add that he has been tracking that Nogtail for hours, trying to lure it, and now it’s gone. It is recommended that you apologize; otherwise, 10 house points will be taken away.

Then you will tell him the story about the hag and her pet Noggin, and in return he will share tips that could help you catch Noggin, since he has been observing its movements for several hours.

You will learn that Noggin doesn’t really care about people or treats, which makes things a bit more challenging. Kettleburn will advise you that since you know Noggin’s owner, you could ask her for help, as she would know what might catch his attention. Meanwhile, he will continue tracking the Nogtail so it isn’t lost completely.

Proceed to the Hog’s Head Inn 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 there, you will tell Carmen that you saw her Noggin, but it was very fast and got away.

She will ask if there’s anything that might catch Noggin’s attention to lure him back, and she will say that he enjoys Cauldron Cakes doused in mustard. She will then ask if you would like to try one of the cakes yourself.

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

Following that, Carmen will reveal that her Noggin was stolen, taken by grubby hands. You will then ask her to explain exactly what happened on the day it went missing.

She will explain that Noggin never leaves her sight, and that the lock to his pen was broken one morning when she went to get him. She’ll add that she saw someone skulking around her cave before Noggin was stolen, but didn’t see anything clearly, since eyes aren’t good at night.

In any case, after a short conversation with the hag, you will decide to go and set a trap using a mustard-covered Cauldron Cake to catch the Nogtail.

Go to Hagrid’s Garden to continue the story. 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, Jae and Tonks will help you set the trap, and Jae will ask why you are trying to catch a rogue Nogtail.

Jae thinks the farmers stole Noggin, and Tonks thinks Carmen let him out on purpose. You will add that she said someone was skulking outside her cave who smelled like cheap cologne and bad decisions, and that she found a green liquid in Noggin’s pen after he was stolen. 

Tonks will ask you what you think is most likely to have let Noggin out of his pen. There are three different options to choose from. These options will influence some dialogue that will follow, but they won’t impact the story.

At that moment, Noggin will appear and eat the bait in a single bite. You’ll worry that he might run off, but he will approach you instead, as if he’s gained your trust. However, you will notice a scrap of fabric on him—perhaps whoever let him out tore their pants or something.
