The Rise Of A Curse-Breaker Part 3

Introduction

Hello everyone, welcome to Part 3 of our Walkthrough for The Rise of a Curse-Breaker Adventure of Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery. Last time, you met with Bill at Gringotts and learned about his assignment. You went to the Red Cap hole to look for the treasure Bill was supposed to retrieve for Gringotts. However, you find out that the treasure is guarded by the Sphinx, and you are tasked with solving three riddles and bringing three ‘Gifts of Hogwarts’ back to Sphinx to claim the treasure. Luckily, Levi was able to figure out that the answer to the first riddle was Golden Snitch.

You went to talk to Andre to see if he could help you find one. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to help you with that, but he did tell you a lot about the Golden Snitches. Later on, you went to ask Jae if he could get you a used Golden Snitch on the black market.

Thankfully, he agreed to help you, but in return, you had to help him sneak out of detention. You distracted Pitts and created an opportunity for Jae to slip away from the kitchens. After that, you met him and his contact in Knockturn Alley, and surprisingly enough, you got the Golden Snitch completely for free.

Summary

Walkthrough

[Disclaimer: This walkthrough will feature the gameplay from the perspective of a Year 7 student. Since the adventure is available for students of Year 6 and above, the star and attribute requirements for certain tasks might be different for you, depending on the year you’re in.]

Now is the time to return to the Red Cap’s Hole and present the Sphinx with the first ‘Gift of Hogwarts’. However, you will need to wait four hours until you can continue. Since you will likely be low on energy at this point, it is recommended to wait and let your energy recharge in the meantime.

Head to the Red Cap’s Hole once the waiting time is over. When you arrive, Bill will ask if you had any luck with Jae.

Excitedly, you’ll inform Levi that you managed to get a Golden Snitch, and he will be glad to hear the good news. Bill will then suggest handing over the item to the Sphinx, who will eagerly await your revelation of your gift.

You will present the first ‘Gift of Hogwarts,’ a Golden Snitch, to the Sphinx. Luckily, the answer to the first riddle was correct.

Relieved to hear that, Levi will be told it was all thanks to his brilliant riddle-solving skills. Bill will then remind you that there are two more riddles to solve before claiming the treasure. Levi will assume that the next two riddles will be harder than the first. He’ll wonder if he only solved the first riddles because of beginner’s luck. There are two options to reply with. If you like Levi, it is recommended to pick the first option.

Shortly after, you’ll ask the Sphinx to give you the clue to the second ‘Gift of Hogwarts’.

You will decide to discuss the clues with Bill and Levi in order to figure out the answer to the riddle. Solving the second riddle requires earning five stars within three hours. All five stars are needed to pass, so avoid starting this task if you are low on energy.

There is a bonus action tied to Bill. Focus on his actions if you want to save a bit of energy.

You will sum up all of the clues.

Sadly, Bill won’t be able to figure out the answer, so you’ll ask Levi if he has any ideas. He’ll tell you that he might be on to something, saying there are lots of ways to be rich that don’t involve wealth, and he’ll go on to explain it.

Curious, Bill will ask if he thinks that the second object is some type of food, to which Levi will respond by revealing that the second item you need to bring to the Sphinx is a glass of Butterbeer.

You’ll suggest heading to the Three Broomsticks as soon as possible. Levi will remind you that you are on a serious curse-breaking mission, so you cannot afford to get side-tracked. You’ll tell him you are fully aware of that. Bill will decide to go to Gringotts and report to Griphook.

Proceed to the Three Broomsticks when you are ready. Upon arriving, you will notice the speech bubbles above some of the characters. Tap on those if you are interested to see what they have to say. You will notice that the pub is very crowded.

Levi will say that you weren’t the only ones who decided to have some Butterbeer, and you will suggest ordering some. However, Levi will again remind you that you are on a serious mission. If you are friends with Alanza, you will get an additional line of dialogue.

You’ll tell Levi you can celebrate your first victory and get the second item at the same time. Shortly after, Madam Rosmerta will approach your table, and you will happily greet her. She’ll say she’s almost run out of Butterbeer. Levi will tell her that the two of you need a pint of Butterbeer for a Sphinx. Madam Rosmerta will admit this is the first time she’s heard someone make that excuse.

You’ll tell her you’d also take a round of Butterbeer for yourselves. While waiting for Madam Rosmerta to return with the Butterbeer, Levi will ask if you think he will ever be able to master the Levitation Charm. There are two options to reply with. This choice won’t have any big impact on the story, so feel free to pick either option.

Levi will tell you that he started to think his whole life was cursed. You will say that being bad at one spell doesn’t mean he is bad at everything. Unfortunately, many of your classmates don’t have the same opinion.

You’ll advise him to be a bit more confident. After all, his riddle-solving skills helped you figure out the first two clues. Levi will say that he’s already feeling more confident. Moments later, Madam Rosmerta will come back. Unfortunately, she will say that she only has one pint of Butterbeer left. Sadly, you won’t be able to share a toast with only one pint. Still, that is all you need to please the Sphinx.

Madam Rosmerta will ask Levi to grab a Butterbeer, and he’ll take out his wand to cast the Summoning Charm.

Unfortunately, the spell won’t work as intended, and the pint will end up getting smashed into the wall.

Sadly, that was the last pint of Butterbeer Madam Rosmerta had, and Levi will tell you that he might be cursed after all. You’ll ask Madam Rosmerta if she is really out of Butterbeer. Unfortunately, she was too busy and didn’t have any time to brew a new batch, so you will offer to help her brew some Butterbeer. The following line will differ, based on how successful you were with helping Madam Rosmerta develop her extra-sweet Butterbeer during year three of your Hogwarts studies.

In any case, she will agree to let you help her brew some Butterbeer. Brewing the Butterbeer requires earning five stars within an hour. All five stars are needed to pass, which is why it’s recommended not to start this task if your energy bar is empty.

The only reward action here is linked to Madam Rosmerta. Prioritize her actions if you want to save a bit of energy.

Once you are done brewing, Levi will apologize for messing things up earlier, but you won’t hold it against him. After all, the life of a curse-breaker is filled with obstacles. You’ll tell him that by working hard he can always find a way to achieve his goal. Levi will decide to share a toast with you, and you will definitely be up for it. He will suggest toasting to his excellent mentor, and also, to overcoming all obstacles. Both of you will taste freshly brewed Butterbeer.

You will say that it tastes absolutely delicious. Shortly after, the two of you will decide to meet up with Bill and give the Sphinx the second ‘Gift of Hogwarts’. Head back to the Red Cap’s Hole when you are ready to continue. Upon seeing you come back with the Butterbeer, Bill will figure out that you were successful.

You will tell him you had an unfortunate delay, and Levi will admit he’s the one to blame for that. Luckily, the two of you managed to overcome the obstacle by brewing a new batch of Butterbeer.

Levi will agree with him.

You’ll ask Bill about his meeting with Griphook, and he will tell you that Griphook was pleased to hear about the progress of the mission. However, some other goblins started growing impatient. In other words, you will have to hurry up and obtain the treasure as soon as possible. Afterward, you will present the second ‘Gift of Hogwarts’ to the Sphinx.

Luckily, the Butterbeer was the correct answer to the second riddle.

There’s only one riddle left, and you will ask the Sphinx to give you the clue for the third ‘Gift of Hogwarts’.

Once again, you won’t be able to figure out the answer immediately, and Levi will say he needs some time to solve the riddle. However, you’ll be quite confident he can come up with the right answer Helping Levi solve the third riddle requires earning five stars within three hours. All five stars are needed to pass.

There is a bonus action tied to Levi. Prioritize his actions if you want to save some energy.

Shortly after, you’ll ask Levi if he has any idea what the answer might be, and he’ll admit that he hasn’t been able to figure it out. He’ll go over the clues one more time.

You will be sure that the three of you can figure out the answer together, and you’ll suggest focusing on one piece of the puzzle at a time. Levi will let you choose which clue you want to focus on. There are two options to choose from. Both options will end up with a similar outcome, so feel free to pick the one you prefer.

After going over the clues, Levi will figure out that the answer to the third riddle is the Gryffindor house crest, and you will praise him for solving the riddle. Levi will humbly say that Bill and you helped him a lot, but still, you’ll have to figure out where to find a Gryffindor crest.

After all, you cannot simply offer up a patch from your robes. Levi will decide to go back to the Gryffindor Common Room and search for a spare crest. Bill will say he knows someone who might be able to help and give you a hint.

Levi will try to figure out who the person is, but you will spare him the trouble and say that the answer is Bill’s brother, Charlie. Wondering how Charlie might be able to help, Bill will explain that he gave Charlie all his old Gryffindor robes after graduating, assuming there is an extra patch among those. You’ll then decide to split up and look for a Gryffindor crest.

You will need to wait four hours until you can continue. Since you will likely be low on energy at this point, it is recommended to wait and let your energy recharge in the meantime.

Proceed to Hagrid’s garden once the waiting time is over. You will ask Bill if he really thinks Charlie has a spare Gryffindor patch, emphasizing that the mission is very important to Levi.

The choice that you’ve made during the previous part will take effect here.

Bill will say that he’ll do everything he can to help. Moments later, you will approach Charlie and Hagrid, noticing they are working. Upon greeting them, you will offer to help.

He’ll wonder if you wanted some of his famous rock cakes, and you’ll say you’re actually looking for Charlie. Charlie will tell his brother that he doesn’t need to check in on him all the time.

Bill will point out his scorched robes and ask if something happened, and you’ll notice they are acting a bit suspicious. Hagrid will say that everything is all right and ask you to help him with some garden work while he explains what happened. Helping Hagrid requires earning five stars within three hours. Since all five stars are needed to pass, you shouldn’t start this task if your energy is low.

Be sure to slide the screen left and right to see all the available actions. There are bonus actions tied to Charlie and a giant carrot. Focus on those if you want to save some energy.

After listening to their stories, you’ll realize that something doesn’t add up.

You can choose whether you want to interrogate Hagrid and Charlie or let them off the hook. If you like Bill, it is recommended to pick the first option. If you like Charlie and Hagrid, you should probably let them off the hook. Also, this choice will affect some of the dialogue later on, but it won’t change the outcome of the story.

Afterward, you will tell Charlie you want to talk about his robes, explaining that you are on a mission for Gringotts and need a Gryffindor house crest. Bill will say he figured out Charlie has an extra Gryffindor patch, but unfortunately, Charlie is all out of robes. Your previous choice will take effect here.

Your friend will say that he cannot afford to buy new robes, and you will offer to help him get a new set of robes if he gives you his old robes in return. Charlie will happily agree to your proposition, and you’ll decide to pay another visit to Andre and see if he can help.

Head to the Transfiguration classroom when you are ready. Andre will ask if you’ve managed to find the Golden Snitch, and you’ll tell him you’ve already solved the first part of the Sphinx’s riddle.

You’ll say that you have a fashion emergency. The choice that you’ve made while previously talking to Andre will take effect here.

You’ll tell Andre that Charlie needs his help.

He’ll quickly figure out that the emergency has something to do with Charlie’s tattered robes. Still, you will need to convince Andre to help. There are three options for you to choose from. If you like Levi, you should pick the first option. If you like Charlie, you should go with the second one. And if you like Andre, you should select the third option.

In the end, Andre will agree to help. Fitting Charlie with new robes requires earning five stars within three hours. All five stars are needed to pass.

There are reward actions tied to Andre and your character. Prioritize those if you are looking to save as much energy as possible.

Andre will happily present Charlie to Bill and you and your Gryffindor friend will look much better in his new robes.

Even Bill will be impressed.

Charlie will promise to take good care of the robes. The choice that you’ve made in Hagrid’s garden will take effect here.

Just as he promised, he will give you his old robes, and you’ll thank him for that. The following line will differ, based on one of your previous choices.

Now that you have the third item, you can go back to the Red Cap’s hole and deliver it to the Sphinx.

With this, Part 3 of The Rise of a Curse-Breaker adventure will come to an end. Hit the Collect button to claim your reward. You will receive 4 Gems.

You’ve managed to obtain the Gryffindor house crest. But is that the correct answer to the Sphinx’s third riddle? And will you be able to retrieve the treasure and complete the mission? Find out in the final part of this adventure.
