Both inside and outside of the titular school, your custom witch or wizard will meet dozens of characters, many of whom have optional side quests you can help them with. One such mission, titled “Rescuing the Rococo,” is especially difficult. While the goal of finding the missing Rococo Niffler may seem straightforward, this quest features plenty of tricky puzzles to trip you up. To make sure this little Niffler gets home safely, here’s how to find Rococo in Hogwarts Legacy.
And if you’re on the hunt for something else in Hogwarts LegacyHere are guides on all Demiguise Statue locations, all Daedalian Key locations, and where to find Mandrakes.
How to complete the mission Rescuing the Rococo
Before you can start the “Rescuing the Rococo” quest, you must first meet a few requirements. Mainly, you have to complete the quest “The High Keep” and unlock your hippogriff mount. Once you’ve accomplished that, you can start the quest by heading to Bainburgh and talking to a merchant named Agnes Coffey.
The first step of the quest will be to head to Henrnietta’s Hideaway in the southern part of Bainburgh called Manor Cape. Upon arrival, you will face a small troop of Ashwinders that you must eliminate. Deal with them in any way you see fit before entering the underground section via the stairs next to the Merlin Trial.
How to solve the first block puzzle
The first room you enter in Henrietta’s Hideaway will present you with a block puzzle to solve. This is similar to other block puzzles you may have come across, where you need to place the correct blocks on different platforms and cast the correct spell on them.
A cube is in the open air and has an ice symbol. Move it to the platform with the icicle and cast Glacius on it to activate it.
The other cube is not as accessible. To reveal it, you need to use a fire spell to light a small bowl in front of a statue on the left side of the room. Once lit, you can move the block to the platform with the flame icon and cast Confringo or Incendio on it. With both blocks activated, the doors will open.
How to get past the moving floor trap
The next room has more enemies to take out, but the real problem is a trap on the second floor that teleports you if you try to cross it. Cast Revelio to highlight the booby-trapped section of the floor to prevent it from going off, and hit it with a Momentum Arrest spell to make it safe to cross.
How to solve the second block puzzle
This last room has one last block puzzle to solve. This time the two cubes you need are hidden, but it is resolved the same as before.
The first block is on a ledge on the left side of the room, and can simply be targeted with Accio to move it onto the platform with the feather icon on it. To activate the cube, you must cast Levioso on it.
To find the second cube, head to the door on the right side of the room and climb onto a pedestal that will teleport you to a new room with the block. Pick it up with Wingardium Leviosa and head up the stairs which will take you back to the main chamber. Place it on the fire pad, cast Confringo or Incendio on it, and the final door will open.
Take all the loot, but don’t forget to use your Nab-Sack on Rococo of course, and head out of the dungeon. When you return to Agnes, you will have a few options. You can return Rococo as promised, ask for a reward in exchange for the Niffler, or choose to keep it yourself. No matter which one you choose, the quest will conclude and reward you with XP and the Niffler Fur-Lined Hat gear item.
