Hogwarts Legacy is brimming with secrets, magical creatures, and hidden treasures. One particular side quest, “Rescuing Rococo,” tasks you with finding a lost Niffler named Rococo for a kind vendor named Agnes Coffey. This fluffy little kleptomaniac Niffler has a knack for finding shiny trinkets, but this time, it seems Rococo has gotten itself into a bit of trouble.
This guide will equip you with the knowledge and spells needed to navigate the dangers and solve the puzzles within Henrietta’s Hideaway, ultimately reuniting Rococo with its owner.
The Quest Begins: A Missing Niffler
You’ll encounter Agnes Coffey during your visit to the Bainburgh settlement in the southeastern region of the map.
Speak to Agnes, and she’ll reveal her lost Niffler, Rococo, who went missing near Henrietta’s Hideaway, an abandoned castle rumored to hold hidden treasures.
Be prepared for a fight – Agnes warns that Ashwinders, notorious dark witches and wizards, guard the hideaway.
Locating Henrietta’s Hideaway
Henrietta’s Hideaway is situated on the southern tip of the Manor Cape region on your map.
Look for a large, crumbling castle partially obscured by cliffs.
Breaching the Defenses: Approaching Henrietta’s Hideaway
You have two options for approaching the hideaway:
Direct Assault: If you’re feeling confident in your combat abilities, you can face the Ashwinders head-on. Be prepared for a challenging battle, especially against their leader, Dustan Trinity, an Infamous Foe.
Stealthy Approach: Utilize the Disillusionment charm to cloak yourself and sneak past the Ashwinders. Look for a staircase leading down towards a hidden entrance beneath the castle.
The Perils of the Hideaway: Traps and Puzzles
Henrietta’s Hideaway is riddled with traps designed to deter treasure hunters. Here’s what to watch out for:
Floor Traps: These pressure plates trigger electric shocks or teleport you to another location. Use spells like Arresto Momentum to freeze the trap before stepping on it, or lure an enemy onto the trap and quickly move away.
Crumbling Bridges: Be cautious while crossing bridges – some might be damaged and collapse under your weight.
The First Puzzle: Unlocking the Hidden Passage
As you descend deeper into the hideaway, you’ll encounter a large room with a central platform guarded by statues.
This is the first puzzle you need to solve to access the area where Rococo is likely hiding.
Look closely at the statues – one of them has a bowl in its hand.
Cast either Confringo or Incendio on the bowl to ignite it. This activates the statue, revealing a hidden passage behind it.
The Second Puzzle: Cubes and Fire
The hidden passage leads to another chamber with a brazier and two movable cubes.
These cubes are crucial for solving the second puzzle and reaching Rococo.
Here’s how to proceed:
Use Wingardium Leviosa to lift one of the cubes and place it on the pressure plate marked with a fire symbol.
Cast Incendio or Confringo on the brazier near the pressure plate. This activates another statue, revealing a hidden compartment containing the second cube.
Retrieve the second cube with Wingardium Leviosa.
Place the second cube on the pressure plate marked with an ice symbol.
This action deactivates a magical barrier blocking your path forward.
Reaching Rococo and Returning to Agnes
With the barrier deactivated, you can now proceed deeper into the hideaway.
You’ll likely encounter more Ashwinders along the way, so be prepared to fight.
Finally, you’ll find Rococo – the adorable Niffler will be happily digging for treasure in a small chamber.
Simply approach Rococo and use your Nab-Sack to capture it.
Reuniting Rococo and Agnes: Completing the Quest
Fast travel back to Bainburgh and speak to Agnes Coffey.
She’ll be overjoyed to have her Niffler back and will reward you with valuable items for your assistance.
Congratulations! You’ve successfully completed the “Rescuing Rococo” quest, showcasing your bravery, puzzle-solving skills, and perhaps a touch of tolerance for Niffler kleptomania.
