Tangled Web is a side quest in Hogwarts Legacy. The quest is received by speaking to Crispin Dunne in the Three Broomsticks.
Objectives[]
"Crispin Dunne in the Three Broomsticks is looking for someone to check on a friend."
- Talk with Crispin Dunne
"I told Crispin Dunne that I would travel to Aranshire and check on his friend Mary."
- Check on Mary Portman in Aranshire
"Aranshire is under attack - I need to destroy the spiders and protect the village!"
- Protect the hamlet from the spiders
"I need to find Mary to make sure she's unharmed."
- Find Mary
"Crispin Dunne was right. Aranshire is infested! Spiders in such large numbers means a nest is nearby. I need to root it out before the village is overrun."
- Find the source of the infestation
"The dank cellar air stirs palpably and reeks of decay. This must be the way. I need to be on guard!"
- Search for the nest
"This is no doubt the heart of the nest. I must destroy all these egg sacs before they can hatch."
- Destroy the Egg Sacs (12)
"Those eggs did not lay themselves. A mother is around here somewhere. I need to deal with her to put an end to this infestation."
- Find the source of the eggs
"I found the source of the spider infestation. Now I need to kill the mother without getting myself poisoned and eaten!"
- Defeat The Insatiable Spider
"I need to find Mr Dunne in Hogsmeade and inform him of Mary's fate. Should I tell him that Mary is to blame for the infestation, or should I protect his memory of her?"
- Return to Crispin Dunne in Hogsmeade
Conclusion[]
"I cleaned out the spiders in Aranshire but was too late to save Mary Portman. She was a victim of her own avarice. I broke the news to Mr Dunne in Hogsmeade, and while he was heartbroken, I daresay he did not seem surprised."
Bugs[]
- The vendor, Edgar Adley, will not be here, having run off like the rest of the hamlet's inhabitants, but his voice lines will continue speaking if you stand near his stall like he's still there and nothing is amiss.
