Hogwarts LegacyJackdaw’s Rest main quest guide
The Jackdaw’s Rest quest inHogwarts Legacyis unlocked around your third day as a student (i.e., sort of like a full cycle of main quest completions). This occurs right after theSecrets of the Restricted Section, and several tasks such as attending your first Herbology and Potions classes.
When it’s nighttime, you’ll learn about the next steps. However, these are dependent on your chosen House at the start of the game. For instance, Gryffindor players are told that Nearly Headless Nick wants your help for a quest called The Hunt for the Missing Pages. Here’s what you can expect:

Anyway, Jackdaw will stay behind next to a fast travel point, so you’ll have to go at it alone. You’ll reach the entrance to Jackdaw’s Rest inHogwarts Legacy, whereupon you’ll get attacked by goblins. Take them out and enter the dungeon proper. Here’s the gist:
The caverns also have a fairly easy-to-solve puzzle involving clock dials. Basically, each of these sections have three dials with hands that move at different speeds. The goal is to hit those that move slower, and then shooting the fastest one last so that they all align at the same pace. Here are the solutions:
After you clear the third set of dials, the bridge will be fully formed. You’ll be able to enter a mysterious chamber. Inside, you’ll see Jackdaw’s remains. Interact with it and the Pensieve Knights will awaken. Use your combat spells and Ancient Magic when possible to eliminate them. Once you’ve beaten the rabble, you’ll face Pensieve Protectors. The difference between these dudes and the other knight armors is that all their attacks are unblockable, so you really need to dodge.
Once you’re done with the encounter, you’ll enter the last chamber. There, you’ll have a chat with Percival Rackham who tells you more about Ancient Magic. Upon leaving this area, you’ll realize that you’re back at Hogwarts, and that you’ve enabled the Map Chamber fast travel point.
The conclusion of the Jackdaw’s Rest quest inHogwarts Legacyalso unlocks thetalents/perks system. Moreover, you’ll be able to do a lot of activities after this, includingbroom flying lessons, unlocking theRoom of Requirement, gaining a method toidentify items, and learning several spells, such asConfringo,Diffindo, andWingardium Leviosa.
Hogwarts Legacyis available viaSteam.
