Professor Garlick, the ever-enthusiastic Herbology professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, is back with another practical assignment! This time, she’s taking you with not just cultivating a magical plant, but also unleashing some botanical mayhem.
Professor Garlick’s Assignment 2 is a quest in Hogwarts Legacy that combines a bit of greenhouse gardening with some chaotic combat plant experimentation.
Here’s a comprehensive guide to navigate this assignment and impress Professor Garlick with your Herbology prowess.
The Quest Breakdown: Growing and Experimenting
Professor Garlick’s assignment is divided into two main parts:
- Grow and Harvest Fluxweed: This introductory step allows you to get your hands dirty (figuratively, of course) in the art of Herbology. You’ll need to acquire a Fluxweed seed, plant it, and nurture it to maturity.
- Field Testing Combat Plants: The real challenge lies in the second part. Professor Garlick wants you to test the combined effects of three specific combat plants:
- Chinese Chomping Cabbage: This ferocious flora has a taste for flesh (or anything that moves, really) and will attack any unfortunate creature that gets too close.
- Mandrake: This peculiar plant is known to emit a scream that can knock out anyone who hears it for too long. However, be careful not to get caught in its screech yourself!
- Venomous Tentacula: Don’t be fooled by its dainty appearance. This plant boasts sharp, venomous tentacles that can inflict a nasty sting.
Your task is to use all three of these combat plants simultaneously and observe the delightful (or maybe disastrous) results.
Acquiring the Necessary Supplies: Seeds, Pots, and Pointers
Before you embark on your Herbology adventure, there are a few things you’ll need to gather:
- For a more concise approach: Grab Fluxweed seeds at The Magic Neep in Hogsmeade.
- Potting Table: While you’re in Hogsmeade, you might also want to visit “Tomes and Scrolls” on the south side. They sell a Potting Table with a large pot spellcraft, which is essential for growing your Fluxweed.
- A Green Thumb (Optional): While not strictly necessary, having a knack for Herbology can definitely come in handy. Patience and a watchful eye will ensure your Fluxweed thrives.
Cultivating Your Fluxweed: A Step-by-Step Guide
- Setting Up Your Greenhouse: The Room of Requirement serves as your personal space for experimentation in Hogwarts Legacy. This is where you’ll be growing your Fluxweed. Place the Potting Table you purchased in Hogsmeade somewhere in the room.
- Planting the Seed: Interact with the Potting Table and select the option to plant. Choose the Fluxweed seed from your inventory and watch it sprout into a tiny seedling.
- Nurturing Your Plant: Fluxweed takes roughly 15 minutes to mature in real-time. During this time, you can check on it periodically, but there’s no need for any complex care routines. Just be patient and let the magic of Herbology work its course.
Tip: While waiting for your Fluxweed to grow, you can explore Hogwarts, complete other quests, or attend classes. Just set a timer (outside the game) to remind you when your plant is ready for harvest.
The Chaotic Challenge: Unleashing the Combat Plants
Once your Fluxweed is fully grown, it’s time for the real test: the chaotic combination of combat plants. Here’s what you need to do:
- Acquiring the Combat Plants: Unlike Fluxweed seeds, you won’t find these three plants readily available for purchase. You’ll need to find them already grown somewhere in Hogsmeade. Luckily, they’re all sold at the shop “Dogweed and Deathcap.”
- The Field Test: There’s no specific location required for this experiment. You can simply head outside Hogwarts castle to a safe, open area. Take out all three combat plants (Chinese Chomping Cabbage, Mandrake, and Venomous Tentacula) from your inventory.
- Let the Mayhem Commence!: Plant all three combat plants simultaneously on the ground. Stand back and observe the delightful (or perhaps slightly terrifying) results. Each plant will activate its unique ability, creating a chaotic spectacle of chomping cabbages, shrieking Mandrakes, and flailing Venomous Tentaculae
