Level 5: Diffindo
[5.1] Harry has to go see what this dueling is all about.
Go up and leave the Hall of Floating Stairs.
In the Great Hall all students are gathered with Gilderoy
Lockhart, who is providing Dueling instructions, and Prof.Snipe, who will be
monitoring the Duels.
I started Dueling Club to defend yourselves. Dueling Club
meets every day in the antechamber just outside the Great Hall.
In Wizard Dueling the object of the exercise is to
incapacitate your opponent.
-
Rictusempra, which knocks your opponent and reduces stamina
-
Mimblewimble, which prevents your opponent from accurately casting their
next spell
-
Expelliarmus, which reflects spells back onto your opponent
To select a spell, scroll through them by using the space
bar or the right mouse button.
To cast a selected spell on your opponent, press the left
mouse button (or: ALT). You may build up the strength of Rictusempra
and Mimblewimble by holding the button down.
Gilderoy ends: Note that Potion
drinking and jumping during duels are prohibited.
A pledge of Bertie Bott’s Every Flavored Beans is required to
duel. The victor wins the opponent’s Beans!
To challenge a student to a Duel, simply walk up to them.
If you have enough Beans you will be invited to duel.
Harry wants to duel with Ron, but Snipe thinks it’s time to
split up the dream team and orders Malfoy of Slytherin to duel with Harry.
Thrashing will
be your treat, Potter
After the Duel Malfoy casts an exotic Snake Spell on Harry: Serpensrtia!. Everyone is in shock. But Harry commands the snake: Leave me alone!.
Serpensortia!
Leave me alone!
And
Draco Malfoy says: It couldn’t be! Not him!
[5.2] Ron, Hermione and Harry run out of the Great Hall.
Ron:You’re
a Parselmouth, Harry. You can talk to snakes!
Hermione:
It matters, Harry, because being able
to talk to snakes was what Salazar Slytherin was famous for.
And now they’re afraid the whole school is going to think
Harry’s his great-great-great-grandson or something...
Harry lay
awake for hours that night, wondering...
...could he be the
descendent of Salazar Slytherin?
Herbology Class
Next morning, Harry meets Ron and Hermione downstairs.
Harry needs to get to his Herbology class outside in the
greenhouse.
Harry enters a small courtyard with a birch tree and a chest in the corner. Cast Alohomora on it and get some Flavored Beans. The fellow on your left doesn’t trade.
Follow Ron in front of the Greenhouse. Before entering turn left and open a chest in the corner of the garden. This contains bronze Wizard Card #5: Gulliver Pokeby, 1750-1839 Expert on magical Birds.
First open a chest
for a bronze Wizard Card!
Now enter the Greenhouse.
I’ll
teach you Diffindo, the severing Charm.
By now you already know how this exercise goes. You may earn
up to 15 points for Gryffindor.
You have learnt
Diffindo, Harry!
Now let’s move on to the Diffindo Challenge!
The Diffindo Challenge
[5.3] Welcome, Harry, to my
Diffindo Challenge!
You know the kind of Challenge Harry’s up to. Harry is starting in a courtyard and the Completion Star can be found in a hallway just above him.
The
Completion Star
Some vines and plant growth can cover doorways and openings.
You can use Diffindo to cut through them and clear Harry’s path.
THE COURTYARD WITH THREE SNAILS.
Cast your first Diffindo on the vine blocking the entrance to
a chamber. You may as well jump through one of the side windows. In this room
you’ll find a chest to your right. Alohomora! Add some Beans to your purse.
Follow the corridor inside a room and cast Flipendo on the
big flower-pot in the middle of a table right in front you. This pot contains
some Beans.
Turn around and cast Alohomora on a chest and Flipendo on a cauldron standing a bit farther in the room. They both contain more Beans.
Cast Alohomora on the door with a Rose pattern left of the
cauldron, and find a chest inside a secret chamber. Cast Alohomora and get some
extra Beans.
Turn around and look at a door opposite to the chamber. It
gives access to a courtyard with three Giant Orange Snails that may attack a lot
faster than the ones you’ve met before!
The first Snail is “patrolling” under an arcade in front of the door. Wait until it passes by the door (preferably from the right side) and stun it with Rictusempra.
Run inside and immediately turn left in the arcade and
notice the vine in the corner. Cast Diffindo on the plants and a Snail plate is
unveiled.
Pick up the Beans around the plate and go stand with your
back to the wall. Wait until the Snail approaches and when it notices Harry it
will attack and stumble on the plate.
Stun the Snail
when it passes
Unveil a Snail
plate in the corner
Standby
That will unlock a first barrier of the exit door in the
other arcade.
Harry is safe in this corner. Turn around and observe the
scene from this position.
The Courtyard with
three Snails
See that flower-pot and watering-can left in front of Harry?
Cast Flipendo on the pot and twice on the can for some Beans.
Wait until the garden Snail slides away from the corner of
the path and approach the corner. If it turns around, it will attack. So quickly
cast Rictusempra on its back and stun it – for a while.
Stun the garden
Snail and notice two signs on each arcade
Come closer to the wall, cast Flipendo on each of these
signs and keep an eye on that Snail. You must watch it after each Flipendo. If
it wakes up, cast Rictusempra to stun it again.
When all four signs are shot, a door to a secret chamber
will open. The chest inside contains your
silver Wizard Card #70:
Leopoldina Smethwyck 1829-1910.
A secret door
opens
The chest in the
chamber carries a silver one
Wait coming out of this room until the garden Snail has
turned its back on Harry or stun it when it hasn’t.
Cast Diffindo twice on these vines and take the beans. Once
again, stand with your back to the wall and wait on the Snail to attack. When it
hits the plate, the exit door will fully unlock.
The second Snail
plate
Clean work!
Diffindo can
also cut ropes that will release objects
The camera view heads toward a sparkling rope behind a Save
Book.
GARDEN ISLAND
[5.4] Cast Diffindo on the rope. A draw-bridge gives access
to a small garden with gaps on the sides, a sort of an island.
Proceed and turn right, and listen to Prof. Sprout:
So let’s do it by the book of Mrs. Sprout first.
Throw the head to the two Horklumps further on your right.
Throw a third Mushroom to the Gnome behind the leaves. He’ll
fall into the hole leaving 3 Beans behind. Cast Diffindo on the vines and grab
the Beans.
Jump down to the corner ledge of the front gap and take the
Beans. Down there you’ll notice a room with a chest. Do not open! Peeves is
hiding in there!
Now there’s another way to deal with these Mushrooms here
that Mrs. Sprout forgot to tell you all about. Of course, why would she? After
all she’s got a fine job and a steady income at Hogwarts, now hasn’t she? But
Harry can always use some extra Beans, he’ll need them badly later on!
So start allover from last Save game and let’s do it now in a
more profitable way:
[5.4] (bis) Harry is standing on the bridge. Rather than
casting Diffindo on the Horklumps turn left (or right) and jump to the corner of
the gap.
You’ll end up on a high ledge.
Collect all
Beans while going down. Enter the hidden room but leave the chest alone. Why? It
contains Peeves! Ascend from the other side grabbing all Beans on the way up.
Now Harry is standing on the island. Cast Diffindo on the
vines in front of the Gnome hole and release the Gnome. He will start eating all
the Mushrooms turning them into Bertie Bott’s Every Flavored Beans!
When he’s finished stun him with Flipendo and throw him where
he further belongs: in his hole. Now all the extra Beans are yours!
To the opposite side there is a bottomless void. Through
the grilled window in the draw-bridge you’ll see a Challenge Star. That bridge
has got to lower!
On each side of the bridge there is a tall alcove with a
sparkling rope. Each rope allows one of the lowered blocks on the island to
elevate. Cast Diffindo on each rope and lift a lower and a taller block.
(Tip: If you want to save on time go stand on the left platform and cast Diffindo on the left rope from here. You’ll be going up with the block and you won’t need the smaller block to jump from).
Blocks and
draw-bridges
Jump from block to block to the opposite ledge with the
BB. Beans.
Collect all the Beans on the narrow ledges and enter the dark
room.
Cast Diffindo on the rope that lowers the second draw-bridge.
Grab two Beans in there and jump down.
Cross the bridge and earn your second Challenge Star.
THE FIRST CHAPEL
Go inside the Chapel and immediately stun a Corrush Pixie.
To your left cast Alohomora on the chest for your
bronze Wizard Card #12: Merwyn
the Malicious, Medieval.
Stand in front of the stairs and Stun a second Pixie and the Giant Orange Snail, both with Rictusempra. Walk up the four stairs.
The first Chapel
Turn right and cast Alohomora thrice on a small chest on the
table. Enjoy some Beans.
On the opposite side is a bottle with Flobberworm Mucous.
Cast Flipendo and grab the Muke.
Go up the second staircase and cast Diffindo on two ropes
that are attached to a moveable square block with a Flipendo sign on it.
Cast Flipendo thrice on the block and a door to a Star slides
open behind Harry’s back.
THE OCTAGONAL TOWER
On your right you’ll see a table with a watering-can and
two flower-pots. Cast Flipendo on the larger pot for a couple of Sweeties.
Enter the opposite room. Prof. Sprout says:
Cast Diffindo on each of the three SpiPri Plants. Look up and you’ll notice a concrete cross above Harry.
The
octagonal Tower
In fact this room is a low octagonal open tower. There are
two windows in the walls.
A sort of service elevator platform is then activated. Jump
on it when it passes.
The rope above the
cross
That will open the way out of the Tower. Proceed along the
cross to the next vine and cast Diffindo to clear the entrance to a room with a
square hole.
Take four Beans and jump in. Restore your stamina with a
Chocolate Frog. You’re standing in the second window now.
Cast Flipendo on the tin man and twice on the water-can, all for more Beans. Walk up to the Save Book and listen to Sprout:
Diffindo can be used to cut other things too, Harry. Try it
on that Spider Web.
SUSPENDED BRIDGES AND FALLING BLOCKS
[5.5] Flip the cauldron for some Beans.
Cast Diffindo on the spider web and run to the suspended
wooden bridge. Turn right and cast Diffindo on the rope that locks the swinging
bridge.
When the giant swing floats forward cast Diffindo on the
opposite spider web and jump to that side.
Go left and cast Lumos on the Gargoyle. This Lumos Spell
charms two different walls.
The transparent
wall
Return to the bridge, cast Diffindo on the rope and the
bridge (with Harry) will drop one floor down. Turn away from the Gargoyle and
meet your 7th Star.
Turn right past a red and a green Bean and step through a
second wall charmed by Lumos where you’ll see a chest. Cast Alohomora and
acquire
bronze Wizard Card #18: Uric the
Oddball, Medieval.
Go left up the stairs and grab 4 Beans. Turn right and watch
a block with a Flipendo sign in a hole similar to the one you saw below. Cast
Flipendo on the sign and push the block down.
Return downstairs past the transparent wall and cross the bridge on your left.. Turn left of the Gargoyle and watch the block lying in the hole next to the patterned wall. Cast Flipendo on the block and it will trigger a switch that opens the wall.
Inside is a chest with a silver Wizard Card; cast
Alohomora on it. Get your
silver Card #8: Derwent
Shimpling, 1912-present.
The patterned wall
slides open
Cross the bridge again and turn left. Cast Flipendo on the
cauldron in the corner and get some Beans.
Stun the Fire Crab behind the corner and notice a crack in the floor inside a shaft. You can almost see through. Perhaps Alohomora? No, that doesn’t help...
Skurge the Ectoplasms – the one on the wall and the one
obstructing the cube with Flipendo signs on its faces.
Grab the blue Bean and immediately stun a Cornush Pixie with
Rictusempra.
Jump over the gap, grab a colored Bean and turn right. In
the shaft you’ll notice a block suspended from a rope. Stand on the block and
cast Diffindo on the rope.
The block will drop on the cracked floor, tremble for a
while, and break through ...with Harry on it! Turn around and behold your 8th
Challenge Star.
A bumpy elevator!
Turn left and cast Rictusempra on two Cornush Pixies in a
row.
Save!
THE CHAPEL GARDENS (1): HORKLUMPS AND GNOMES
[5.6] Look inside past a row of Horklump Mushrooms by the
entrance to a garden. See the vines obstructing Gnome holes in the side walls?
Don’t waste Diffindo on any of the good Mushrooms, they’re
Colored Beans in another shape, remember?
Run and jump over the barrier of Horklumps, a little
damage won’t hurt. There’s a Choc Frog inside the garden anyway.
Cast Diffindo on all three of the vines in front of the Gnome
holes and let the Gnomes take care of the Mushrooms while you’re nicely
watching. Meantime crush these nasty spiders that keep climbing Harry’s back all
the time. Each Gnome can only eat a limited amount of Mushrooms.
Sometimes you may push a bit though. Stun one of the Gnomes
and throw him to the row of Mushrooms you want him to devour.
Watch the Gnomes
doing a fine job
When all Mushroom are gone, cast Flipendo on each Gnome
and throw them into their holes.
THE CHAPEL GARDENS (2): TENTACULAS
That is a Venemous Tentacula. Don’t let them get near you, their bite is very nasty! Diffindo can be used to both stun the creature and sever its arms.
Stun the First Tentacula with Diffindo and quickly pass it.
Sever the arms of the next two permanently. Aim carefully at the arms and cast
Rictusempra.
There’s another Choc Frog near the birch on your right should
Harry need one.
You’ll hear some strange grunting coming from upstairs,
while branches are being thrown at Harry. Ignore all that for now, it’ll soon be
explained of what to do.
Sever an arm of the Tentacula guarding the staircase, go up
and take your 9th Challenge Star.
Turn right, run and jump to the opposite ledge.
Bowtruckles are tree Spirits that guard Wiggentrees. Cast Diffindo on them to
make them disappear,
says Prof. Sprout.
Watch out for these Spirits. When Harry is aiming Diffindo
and a projectile hits him before the Spell has affected, he will loose the Charm
and get hurt.
Search the Wiggentree area for Bark left behind by each of
the Bowtruckles and look up to a bright sign on the wall. Cast Alohomora on the
sign and the panel swings open.
A secret
entrance
But how to get all that high? Look at the suspended plank on
your right. Cast Diffindo on the first rope (on your right) and turn the plank
into a footbridge: a ramp leading upwards to the narrow ledge on the wall.
Cast Diffindo on
one rope
A ramp leading
upward
Run and jump again to the overgrown catwalk…oops, that
won’t work in the opposite direction. Follow the stairs again, run up on the
footbridge and climb the narrow edge on the wall.
Grab a Bean and run inside the opening you’ve just created in
the wall. The first thing you’ll see is a shelf with two pots and a
watering-can.
Cast Flipendo on the middle pot for
Beans. Proceed left and take a blue Bean from the floor.
Cast Flipendo on
the larger pot on the shelf for more Beans.
Turn around, grab the yellow Bean an cast Flipendo on the
bottle with Flobberworm Mucous. Grab the Muke, turn around and follow the track
with Beans to your next Star.
The secret
Star and a chest
Take your 10th Challenge Star and cast Alohomora
on the chest behind it.
You are in a Hallway looking down on the previous garden.
Take some time for that.
You’ll end in a corner with a flower-pot and a
watering-can. Cast Flipendo on the pot and twice on the can for more Beans.
Cast Diffindo on each of the ropes from which the next
footbridge is suspended and it will drop down and connect the ledge and the next
overgrown catwalk.
At the end of the catwalk turn right and climb the ledge.
Ignore the watering- can in the corner for now and climb the higher section with
the two Bowtruckles and the Wiggentree.
Cast Diffindo on each of the Spirits and grab their Bark.
Should Harry have lost some of his stamina and you haven’t
eaten all two Chocolate Frogs below, you may prefer to go down again and eat
them before saving by the book.
THE CHAPEL GARDENS (3): SPIKES AND SNAILS
[5.7] From up the stairs look down at some plant growth on a
Snail plate and cast Diffindo on it.
Stand left of the plate and wait on the attack of the Snail.
Stun the second Snail somewhere along this lane and stay
close to the wall in order to avoid some prickling spikes that the SpiPri plants
would launch.
Then run to the Snail and stun it with Rictusempra.
Should the Snail be near the corner cast Rictusempra on it
and then get the Muke out of the bottle.
From your position on the wall cast Diffindo on the plants above the plate. Let the third Snail approach.
The Snail attacks!
As soon as the Snail notices Harry it will try to attack and
step on the plate of its own, just like always.
Turn around the corner and cast Diffindo on the SpiPri
Plant and run inside to your right. The door seals off behind Harry.
LEAVING THE CHAPEL
Immediately look up at the ceiling and cast Alomohora on a
bright sign.
Cast Diffindo on the rope that holds the platform and it will
drop to the block below, together with the Star. Jump on the block and seize
your 11th Challenge Star.
A well
hidden Star
Jump down and descend on the left side of the stairs. Grab a
Bean and cast Skurge on the Ectoplasm
Cast Diffindo on a second set of branches and wait until you
see the Bowtruckle and cast Diffindo on him. Take his Wiggentree Bark and turn
right where you’ll be blocked by another door of branches. Cast Diffindo and
proceed.
Cast Diffindo on the spider web and crush the spiders.
Take a Yellow Bean, crush the spiders and turn right where
you’ll see an open door to a Challenge Star.
On the other side of the stairs go down to a Gargoyle and
grab the Bean in front of him.
See anything? Me neither, so apparently that Gargoyle
merely brightens Harry’s path.
Continue till the rose pattern. Cast
Alohomora and a chamber is unveiled.
Cast Skurge on two
blobs on the floor. Jump all the way down and open the chest with Alohomora.
Turn around and cast Skurge on a last Ectoplasm. Climb up and
turn left.
Cast Flipendo on the cauldron for some Beans, turn around and
crush the spiders that arrive.
Go outside and cast Diffindo on the web.
The bigger pot on your right contains some Beans.
THE FINAL HALLWAY
[5.8] Stun the Snail with Rictusempra and cast Lumos on the
Gargoyle.
Cast Flipendo on the pot for Beans and eat the Choc Frog.
Stun and push it into the hole. The door slides up again.
The are four Beans on the floor and a Snail plate. Go out of
this room and
Wait for the third Snail to approach the “S” room and cast
Rictusempra. Then cast several Flipendo to push it on the plate inside the room
and a secret wall opens behind it. Inside is a chest. Cast Alohomora and acquire
silver Wizard Card #87: Thaddeus
Turkell, 1632-1692.
Leave and proceed till the corner with the purple Bean. In
the next passage there is a bench with 3 pots. The middle pot contains Beans.
Pass the door on your left with the final Challenge Star to another bench with a
pot and a can. Cast Flipendo on the pot for Beans and take the Frog.
Enter the Hallway with the final Star and open the chest
on the right with Alohomora for obtaining a last bunch of Beans.
