Welcome, young witches and wizards, to your first Herbology class at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry! Professor Garlick, a stern but knowledgeable instructor, has assigned your first task – a practical demonstration of your budding herbal skills.
This guide will equip you with all the knowledge you need to conquer Professor Garlick’s Assignment 1 in Hogwarts Legacy.
The Quest at Hand: Mastering Magical Plants
Professor Garlick’s first assignment is a hands-on introduction to two fascinating, and slightly mischievous, magical plants: the Venomous Tentacula and the Mandrake. Here’s what you need to do:
1.Acquire the Plants: Unlike some assignments that require you to grow your own botanical wonders, Professor Garlick supplies the necessary flora this time. Go to the quaint village of Hogsmeade, which is close to Hogwarts.
2.Visit Dogweed and Deathcap: This reputable shop specializes in all things magical flora and fauna. Seek out the amiable shop owner, Beatrice.
3.Purchase the Plants: You’ll need two specific plants:
Venomous Tentacula: This writhing vine can be a valuable asset in combat, ensnaring and damaging foes. (Cost: 600 Gold)
Mandrake: This peculiar root shrieks when pulled from the ground, stunning nearby enemies momentarily. (Cost: 500 Gold)
4.Experiment with Botanical Warfare: Professor Garlick wants to see you put these plants to practical use. Head out into the open world – forests, fields, anywhere you can encounter some unsuspecting creatures.
5.Test the Tentacula: Equip the Venomous Tentacula from your combat tools menu (L1 radial menu). Target an enemy and unleash the tentacula’s fury. Observe how it ensnares and damages your foe.
6.Unleash the Mandrake’s Scream: Equip the Mandrake from your combat tools menu. Approach a group of enemies and use the Mandrake. Listen to its ear-splitting shriek and witness its stunning effect on nearby creatures.
7.Return to Professor Garlick: Once you’ve successfully utilized both plants, head back to Professor Garlick in the Herbology classroom within Hogwarts castle. Report on your findings and demonstrate your newfound knowledge.
Congratulations! You’ve completed Professor Garlick’s first assignment and impressed your Herbology teacher (hopefully).

FAQs
Professor Garlick’s first assignment in Hogwarts Legacy throws you headfirst into the fascinating (and slightly dangerous) world of Herbology. Here’s all you need to know to conquer this task:
What’s the Assignment?
Professor Garlick wants you to gain some practical experience with two interesting magical plants:
Venomous Tentacula: This vicious vine lashes out at anything that gets close, perfect for keeping pesky enemies at bay.
Mandrake: Don’t be fooled by its cute appearance. A Mandrake’s scream can stun multiple foes in their tracks.
How Do I Get the Plants?
There are two ways to acquire these botanical companions:
Grow Your Own: Head to Hogsmeade and visit “Dogweed and Deathcap,” a shop specializing in magical flora. You can purchase Mandrake (500 gold) and Venomous Tentacula seeds (600 gold) there. Plant them in the Room of Requirement using a potting table, and watch them grow (be prepared to wait a while!).
The Quick Buy: If you’re impatient or low on Herbology skills, you can simply buy mature Mandrakes and Tentaculas directly from “Dogweed and Deathcap.” It’ll cost a bit more, but it saves time.
How Do I Complete the Assignment?
Once you have your plants, it’s time for the fun part (and maybe a little chaos):
Test the Tentacula: Find a group of enemies – goblins, pesky Puffapods, anything will do. Equip the Venomous Tentacula from your Tools menu (L1 radial menu). Use it twice on any enemies to see its stinging power in action.
The Mandrake Chorus: Locate another group of foes. Equip the Mandrake (also from Tools) and use it once. Brace yourself – the Mandrake’s scream will stun all nearby enemies for a short duration.
