Obtain Hippogriff by Clearing the Quest

By clearing The High Keep, you will unlock a new mount called "Hippogriff (Highwing)". Unlike brooms, Hippogriffs cannot be upgraded, but it is a mount with no stamina and a stable top speed.

Pre-order Bonus Also Available at the Same Time

The pre-order bonus "Onyx Hippogriff" can also be ridden in The High Keep Post-Game Quests. If you want to unlock the pre-order bonus, prioritize advancing the main quest.

Meet Natty near Falbarton Castle

To start The High Keep, talk to Natty near Falbarton Castle. The castle is located on the east side of the world map, so it is recommended to ride a broomstick from Hogsmeade to get there.

Climbing Castle Rampart and Retrieving the Wooden Crate

After talking to Natty, climb Castle Rampart and aim to infiltrate the castle. First, climb the southeast Castle Rampart and use Depulso on the device at the top. Retrieve the wooden crate from the cage.

Using the Wooden Create as a Platform to Climb the Chest Wall

After retrieving the wooden crate, place it vertically against the Chest Wall using "Wingardium Leviosa". Then, use "Levioso" to make it float and jump to the damaged area of Castle Rampart to climb the Wall. Make sure to place it closely against the Wall to ensure sufficient height for the jump.

Moving the Wooden Crate with Accio from the North Side

After climbing Castle Rampart, go around to the north side and cast Accio through the window to move the wooden crate blocking the path. Once you've moved the crate, return to the south side and break the wall board to sneak inside the castle.

Use Depulso and Accio to Open the Castle Gate

Use Depulso and Accio to open the castle gate and meet up with Natty. Cast Depulso twice to raise the gate, then quickly use Accio to pull the handle before the gate falls and hold it in place.

Jump from the Wooden Crate and Climb Castle Rampart

Chase after Natty. After the cutscene, move forward and climb Castle Rampart. To proceed, drop a crate into the hole from the small window in front. Next, use the vertical wooden crate as a platform to climb the collapsed stairs.

Defeat Poachers and Head for the Rooftop

Defeat the poachers along the way after climbing the collapsed stairs. Use Alohomora to unlock the lock and aim for the rooftop. Poachers are easy to defeat by knocking them off castle walls. Use a combination of Depulso and Levioso to blow them away.

Chasing Natty on Highwing

After reaching the rooftop and watching the cutscene, you will be riding Highwing the Hippogriff. Ride it just like a broomstick and continue chasing Natty flying ahead. If you chase for about a minute and a half, the quest will be cleared after the event.
