In the Shadow of the Mine is a main quest in Hogwarts Legacy. This quest is received at the same time as It's All Gobbledegook, and the two quests can be done in either order.
Objectives[]
"Sebastian is waiting near the entrance to the Overlook Mine to the northeast of Upper Hogsfield."
- Meet Sebastian by the Overlook
"We need to get inside the mine. It looks like our choices are to attack the goblins head-on or try to sneak by them.
- Reach the entrance to the mine
"Now that we've made it inside, we should look for anything that might be connected to the triptych. Our only clues are the runes scrawled on the torn parchment we found."
- Search for the Rune Symbol
"This place is crawling with Loyalists and spiders. We must defeat them if we have any chance of making it out of here."
- Defeat the enemies
"We've found a dead end in the Overlook Mine. This can't be though! There must be something more here we aren't seeing."
- Investigate the Cavern
"Activating the runes in the proper order unlocked the door. Now to see what secrets are held inside the chamber beyond."
- Explore the chamber
"I found a bit of canvas inside an old chest. I should check in witrh Sebastian to get his thoughts on what this all means."
- Check on Sebastian
"I see another of those crystallised stone walls like the one we found in Feldcroft. We can use it to get back to Hogwarts. I just need to lead the way."
- Use the magic passageway
"We should place the canvas into the triptych and see if it reveals another clue."
- Place the portrait into the triptych
"Once we placed the canvas we found into the triptych, Sebastian said we might be in for more trouble. I need to ask him what he means by that."
- Talk to Sebastian
Conclusion[]
"Sebastian met me at the Overlook Mine. He realised it's the location depicted in the triptych. We had to fight our way through the mine, past spiders and Loyalists, until we found a room with a sealed chamber. Once we cleared the webs, we discovered runes on the wall that matched the note from the triptych, as well as a journal entry and another canvas. I told Sebastian that I'd been working with Lodgok. He was enraged, unable to see that not all goblins are like the ones that cursed Anne. I'm afraid I must continue without his help."
Notes[]
- There are two groups of goblin Loyalists along the path to the mine. It's possible to sneak past them on the right (east), waiting as necessary for sentries to turn the other way.
- Isidora's Journal Entry 3 of 7 can be found on a round table in the secret chamber, and the Second Triptych Canvas Piece can be found in a nearby chest.
