In Hogwarts Legacy, you are no stranger to sticking your neck out for those in need, regardless if they are human or animal. Over the course of your adventures with Poppy, you have freed a dragon from its chains and returned its egg to it without getting incinerated.
This time around, after narrowly escaping death from vengeful poachers and a herd of angry centaurs, you and Poppy set out to track down the mythical, golden snidgets thought to have previously gone extinct. This guide will walk you through how to access Gilded Perch and rescue the snidgets.
Light Guides Your Way
You’ll first kick things off by meeting Dorran just south of Brocburrow. When you arrive, he’ll be standing next to a puzzle that must be solved before you’ll be able to access the Gilded Perch. Start by inserting the moonstone you acquired from the last mission with Poppy into the center monument. This will activate the puzzle, causing light to be channeled through the two pillars.
To solve the puzzle, you’ll need to move each of the pillars by using Accio until their light shines on the right symbols surrounding the circle. The two symbols you’ll need to light up are the sun and the key, both visibly highlighted on the archway above the door. Start by pulling the inner pillar counterclockwise until it lights up the key symbol on the opposite side of the circle. Next, move the outer pillar counterclockwise until it lights up the sun symbol. Once the door opens, head through the archway and enter the Gilden Perch.
Golden Snidgets
Once inside, first head straight until you reach a library that is a dead end. Get the treasure in this room and then head back the way you came. Turn to head into the courtyard area, and turn right at the first tree you see. Next, head through the roots of the giant tree and burn the bramble blocking your path until you reach the far side of the room.
Here, you’ll find a box that you can raise with Levioso to your left. There is only a small amount of gold on this side of the room, so you can skip going to the second floor on the left side. Instead, face the way you came in, and you’ll find the fire cube perched on a shelf. Grab it with Accio and place it on the fire switch. Light it with any fire spell, and then grab the floating platform with Accio and move it to the other side of the room. Head up to the second floor, grab the ice cube with Accio, and place it on the switch below. Cast Glacius to activate it.
With both switches activated, three doors will appear and open in front of you. Head through and face the enemies on the other side. After about halfway through the battle, Dorran and a centaur friend will jump into the battle to help you. After defeating the enemy, head through the door on the far side of the room to find the golden snidgets and complete the quest.
