A Basis for Blackmail is Natsai Onai's third relationship quest in Hogwarts Legacy.
Objectives[]
"Natty sent me another owl saying that she can sneak away without her mother knowing. I'm to meet her outside Hogsmeade."
- Speak with Natty outside of Hogsmeade
"Natty wants me to speak with the late Mr Bickle's associates to see what information they have on Harlow. I should be able to find them in Hogsmeade."
- Speak with Agabus Philbert
- Speak with Daisy Rabe
- Speak with Otto Dibble
"I was able to speak with Otto Dibble, Agabus Philbert and Daisy Rabe, the wife of Isko Rabe, as Mr Rabe has gone missing. Each of them is being extorted by Harlow. I need to update Natty at our meeting place outside Hogsmeade."
- Return to the meeting spot to update Natty
"I returned to the meeting place to update Natty on what I learned from Mr Bickle's associates who Harlow's been extorting. She wasn't there, which is concerning as she's never late. I've decided to try the Hog's Head Inn."
- Search for Natty near the Hog's Head Inn
"I searched around the Hog's Head Inn for Natty but didn't find her. I only found signs of a struggle and Natty's wand. Beginning at the wand, there's a trail that goes around the inn. It's my only lead, so I need to follow it."
- Search for Natty by casting Revelio
- Follow the trail
"The trail I followed that began at Natty's wand led me to a pair of cellar doors beneath the Hog's Head Inn. Natty's in trouble! This is exactly why Professor Onai didn't want her coming to Hogsmeade.I need to enter the cellar and find her."
- Enter the cellar
"I entered the cellar beneath the Hog's Head Inn and found only a series of oak barrels. There must be a clue here, as there's no sign of Natty. Where could they have taken her? I need to investigate."
- Search the cellar
"I was able to find and open a secret door in the cellar beneath the Hog's Head Inn which led to a larger, underground collection of rooms. Could this be a secret Ashwinder hideout? I must look for Natty."
- Find Natty
- Optional: Find Agabus Philbert's book of poems
- Optional: Find Otto Dibble's love letter
"When I found Natty beneath the Hog's Head Inn, I also found Daisy Rabe's missing husband, Isko. They are both being held in cells that I cannot unlock. Natty wants me to speak with Mr Rabe first."
- Speak with Isko Rabe
"I spoke with Isko Rabe, who has been captured and imprisoned by Rookwood's Ashwinders, along with Natty. The cells that he and Natty are being held in are cursed, and he must have his wand in order to break the curse. He senses that it is nearby – somewhere in this room. I must find it quickly."
- Find and return Isko Rabe's wand
"I found Mr Rabe's wand and returned it to him. He should be able to break the curse on his and Natty's cells."
- Wait for Mr. Rabe to dispel the curses
"Mr Rabe was able to remove the curse from his and Natty's cells and to free himself and Natty. He thought he might be strong enough to Disapparate with us from the hideout, but we told him to go without us. While he finds Officer Singer, we need to make our way out of this place on our own."
- Find a way out of the Ashwinders' hideout
"Natty and I managed to escape the Ashwinder hideout beneath the Hog's Head Inn. Before we do anything else, we should inform Officer Singer of what has happened and we've uncovered. She should be on her way here if Mr Rabe managed to find her."
- Speak with Officer Singer
Conclusion[]
"Natty wants to know more about Mr Bickle's associates and what information they had on Rookwood's right-hand-man, Theophilus Harlow. Daisy Rabe, Otto Dibble, and Agabus Philbert shed light on the intimidation, coercion and violence that Harlow has been using to keep the residents in Hogsmeade under his thumb. I returned to update Natty and found that she was missing. Searching for her led me to a secret Ashwinder hideout beneath the Hog's Head Inn, where I found not only Natty, but the missing Isko Rabe. Natty and I reported our findings to Officer Singer, who seemed more concerned with our safety than doing something about this threat. I should speak with Natty to see how she's doing."
Notes[]
- The secret door in the cellar is opened by using Accio to pull the two barrels forward.
- Mr Rabe's wand is in a level I locked chest on the nearby table.
- The player can have one last conversation with Agabus Philbert by returning the book to him. He will offer words of gratitude in returning a piece of his late wife to him.
- Shortly after completing this quest, Otto Dibbler sends an Owl Post to say he and Rosie are leaving for their honeymoon.
