It\u2019s one you\u2019ll want to complete as it will reward you with 180 XP and the Treasure-Seeker\u2019s Gloves.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting, too, that completing this side quest will work towards the Complete Side\/Relationship Quests challenge and toward unlocking that <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/hogwarts-legacy-trophies-achievements\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">\u2018The Good Samaritan\u2019 trophy\/achievement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Locating the side quest is a little tricky and there are multiple steps to complete once you have unlocked it. All told, there\u2019s no shame in needing a guide for this one.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re needing some help with the Hogwarts Legacy The Hippogriff Marks the Spot side quest, read on below to find out how to start the mission, how to use Henrietta\u2019s map, and how to complete the block and hippogriff statue puzzles.<\/p>\n<h2><b>How to start The Hippogriff Marks The Spot in Hogwarts Legacy<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>To begin The Hippogriff Marks the Spot side quest, you will need to <b>pick up Henrietta\u2019s map from within Poidsear Castle<\/b>. It will be waiting for you on top of a table inside one of the large tents. You can also track the new quest as you arrive at the Poidsear Castle Floo flames to have the game show you where the map is.<\/p>\n<p>You won\u2019t be able to do this side quest until you have completed the <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/hogwarts-legacy-chapters-missions-quests\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">main story missions<\/a> \u2018Tomes and Tribulations\u2019, \u2018Assignment \u2013 Professor Hecat\u2019s Assignment 1\u2019, and \u2018Assignment \u2013 Madam Kogawa\u2019s Assignment 1\u2019. Completing these quests first is essential as you\u2019ll need the spells learned from them to solve the puzzles.<\/p> <h2><b>The Hippogriff Marks The Spot map explained<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Once you have Henrietta\u2019s map, you will see that it has a picture of a location marked with an X, a ruin of some kind, and a drawing of a Hippogriff surrounded by flames (as well as sketches of the Incendio and Glacius spells). All of this is vital information but we understand why it might be confusing.<\/p>\n<p>The X is marking a location on the Hogwarts Legacy map. This is Henrietta\u2019s Hideaway. The exact The Hippogriff Marks the Spot location on Henrietta\u2019s map is <b>the far south-east tip of the Manor Cape region<\/b>. This is where you can complete the quest and solve some puzzles. Simply head inside to begin. Henrietta\u2019s Hideaway also contains the \u2018Solved By the Bell\u2019 side quest, so it\u2019s worth all the effort going there for sure.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to see the location in video form (along with how to start and complete the side quest), it\u2019s worth checking out this video guide from <a href=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kkmQah762t0&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">PS5Trophies<\/a> on YouTube:<\/p>\n<iframe title=\"&quot;Hogwarts\" legacy=\"\" henrietta=\"\" treasure=\"\" map=\"\" location=\"\" the=\"\" hippogriff=\"\" marks=\"\" spot=\"\" side=\"\" quest=\"\" width=\"&quot;200&quot;\" height=\"&quot;113&quot;\" src=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kkmQah762t0?feature=oembed&quot;\" frameborder=\"&quot;0&quot;\" allow=\"&quot;accelerometer;\" autoplay=\"\" clipboard-write=\"\" encrypted-media=\"\" gyroscope=\"\" picture-in-picture=\"\" web-share=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/>\n<h2><b>The Hippogriff Marks The Spot puzzle solutions<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Now you\u2019re inside Henrietta\u2019s Hideaway, you have a couple of puzzles to solve. To complete The Hippogriff Marks the Spot blocks puzzle, you need to follow these steps:<\/p>\n<ul><li>Light the brazier in the left of the room with <b>Confringo or Incendio<\/b> to reveal the second block<\/li>\n<li>Use <b>Wingardium Leviosa<\/b> to move the second block onto the metal bit of floor with a flame insignia on it<\/li>\n<li>Cast <b>Confringo or Incendio<\/b> on the block with a flame on it<\/li>\n<li>Cast <b>Glacius<\/b> on the block with an icicle on it<\/li>\n<li>This should open the door<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve cleared the following room of any enemies lurking behind those previously locked doors, you will encounter a large Hippogriff statue surrounded by several braziers. To complete The Hippogriff Marks the Spot Hippogriff statue puzzle, you simply need to light the braziers with Confringo or Incendio as per the image on Henrietta\u2019s map.<\/p>\n<p>You can also remember how to light the braziers by imagining looking down on the Hippogriff from above like on a compass with north being at the back of the statue: Light <b>North<\/b>, <b>East<\/b>, <b>South-East<\/b>, and <b>West<\/b>. Leave all other braziers unlit and extinguish them if needs be.<\/p>\n<p>Now you\u2019ve solved both puzzles a chest will have magically appeared behind the Hippogriff statue. Open that up, claim your prize, and complete the side-quest.<\/p> <div class=\"&quot;brightcove\" embed=\"\"> <div class=\"&quot;embed__intrinsic&quot;\"> <div class=\"&quot;brightcove__player\" vjs-playlist-player-container=\"\"> <video data-video-id=\"6319592953112\" data-account=\"69912529001\" data-player=\"ByeOf0VZEl\" data-embed=\"&quot;default&quot;\" data-application-id=\"\" controls=\"\" class=\"&quot;video-js&quot;\"> <\/video> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<script src=\"&quot;\/\/players.brightcove.net\/69912529001\/ByeOf0VZEl_default\/index.min.js&quot;\"\/> <p><strong>Hungry for more gaming?
