Players should immediately complete the initial quest objective by obtaining and using a venomous Tenatacula.

The village will be marked on the map, accompanied by a popup in the bottom right, describing Hogsmeade as Britain’s sole all-wizarding village. Once in the area, open the map to explore and view available shops. Look for a small black icon at the northern end, identified as “Dogweed and Deathcap.”

Hover over it to reveal a popup on the bottom left, describing it as a plant shop with magical seeds and flora. Recognize the building by faded green doors and a sign reading “Dogweed And Deathcap” on separate wood slats.

Moving into the shop, players can take note of Beatrice Green, who is the shop owner, and she greets players by saying that they should watch their step as she hopes you leave there alive.

  • After a bit of dialogue, she can show you her wares, through which players can see a screen pop up on the left which has the Dogweed & Deathcap icon on the top, with items like Seed packets, room of requirement items as well as combat tools that are present below for sale. 
  • If you cannot buy items, you can also sell out your no longer needed gear, and the shop owner might grant you gold ranging from 60 or even more based on the rarity. 

Purchasing Venomous Tentacula

Once you have enough money, if you look at the combat tools, you can see the Venomous Tentacula being sold here. It is described to be a tool that can shoot out acid at opponents that are nearby whenever it has been activated, and its seeds are also available to purchase and are present on top of the Seed Packets section

  • The Venomous Tentacula is sold for a total of 600 gold. 
  • Besides that, we also have Mandrake, which is also required for the questline, and it is described as a magical plant that can shriek whenever used, and it can cause the enemies to get stunned and harm opponents for a little bit in a certain radius. Players can also buy the seeds here. 

Heading To The Room of Requirement

To plant Mandrake Seeds in the Room of Requirement:

  1. Purchase the Mandrake Seeds.
  2. Head to the Room of Requirement, a secret room that appears when needed.
  3. Locate your potting table in the room.
  4. Choose the Mandrake you want to plant from your collection (purchased as Mandrake Seeds).
  5. In your collection, you’ll see the total time it takes for the seeds to grow, which is 10 minutes, and the plant size is small.
  6. Plant the seeds, and you’ll be informed that it will yield one Mandrake. You can also add fertilizer to enhance the yield.

Using Venomous Tentacula

After planting the Mandrake seeds, players can access the Venomous Tentacula in their wheel.

  • In the wheel, they must release L1 to equip it for use.
  • Once equipped, it appears in the player’s left hand, with a purple/pink bottle ready for release.
  • Upon release, it plants a tree with yellow leaves and robust roots.
  • One of the branches bears four distinctive Venus trap-like plants.
  • These plants feature vertical mouths with sharp edges that can swiftly close and capture objects with ease, scattered throughout the bush.
  • The purple/pink plant also opens and closes its mouth, revealing sharp teeth.
  • When the Tentacula’s duration ends, it instantly dissipates into smaller parts, leaving behind only floating leaves.

Acquiring The Mandrake

To acquire the Mandrake:

  1. After the 10-minute timer, head to the potted table where you’ll notice a sprouting plant alongside the seeds.
  2. Once the timer expires, the sprouted plant becomes a potted Mandrake, and you can collect it by pressing the square button.
  3. Equip the Mandrake by pressing L1 and head to a location with enemies.
  4. When you use the Mandrake, it will emit a shriek, stunning or harming opponents in its radius.
  5. Holding the Mandrake up will cause enemies in its vicinity to be stunned, holding their heads in confusion.

Remember to use the Mandrake on multiple enemies for maximum effectiveness.

Attend Herbology Class During The Day

Once players have done both the Mandrake and Tentacula objectives, the next one that they get is to attend the Herbology class during the day. 

  • Whenever players open up their map, they can take note of the greenhouses, which are described to be Hogwarts Greenhouses which is the center where the Herbology class is taught, and players are able to set a waypoint as well.
