Investigating the Monster Statue and Book in the Headmaster's Office

Niamh Fitzgerald's Trial Waypoint

Niamh Fitzgerald's Trial is a main quest that can be started in the Headmaster's Office at Hogwarts. You can go directly to the Headmaster's Office from the "Trophy Room" using Floo Powder. If the "Trophy Room" is locked, it is recommended to go from the "Large Staircase Tower".

Once you arrive at the "Trophy Room", follow the guiding light to reach the Headmaster's Office. Examine the monster statue at the entrance, enter the room, complete the conversation event with Neep, and then examine the book in the back to start the trial.

Find Unidentified Items During the Puzzle-solving Journey

On the way from the Large Staircase to the Headmaster's Office there is a locked door where you can find "Unidentified Face Items". The mechanism to clear it is to add up the numbers in the center of the door with the surrounding symbols. There are similar puzzles to solve throughout Hogwarts, so if you have time, try searching for them.

Sneak Through the Town While Hiding From the Grim Reaper

During the trial, hostile NPCs called "Grim Reapers" will appear. If you are spotted, you will have to start over from the previous checkpoint, so try to hide and make your way forward. Head towards the yellow markers and proceed when the "Grim Reapers" are looking away.

If the Path is Blocked, Proceed to the North Door

While hiding, continue straight on the path for a while until the road is blocked by reapers. Since it is impossible to force through, turn back and proceed to the north door that opens with a blasting effect. Once inside the building, simply avoid the reapers and head towards the back of the second floor.

When Dialogues Appear on the Second Floor, Head Towards the Back

On the second floor of the building, there are a total of three reapers patrolling. Wait near the collapsed wall while the reapers are facing away, and head towards the back after hearing the protagonist's line, "Alright, now."

Obtain the Invisibility Cloak and Proceed Ahead

By proceeding south from the second floor of the building, you can obtain the "Invisibility Cloak" and be able to progress without being detected by the reapers. Return to the previously blocked path and proceed west, being careful not to make contact with the reapers.

Obtain the Mysterious Wand

As you proceed further into the path, an event will occur, and you can obtain the exclusive equipment for this quest, the "Mysterious Wand." Once you have obtained the wand, you will be transferred to a different area. Destroy the front wall with "Bombarda" and proceed ahead.

Battle With Enemies Three Times

As you continue on the path, there will be a total of three battles with the reapers. Thanks to the Mysterious Wand, your attack power will be greatly increased. Defeat them efficiently by casting "Bombarda" or "Diffindo" every time the cooldown is up.

Encounter Neep and See Its Memories
