Before you can begin this quest, you will first need to learn the Disarm Charm from Professor Hecat. Once you learn this, you can head to the Forbidden Forest to meet Richard Jackdaw. You’ll need to talk to him to start the quest, which initially requires you to follow him through the woods.

After reaching Floo Flame’s location in the northeast region of Hogwarts, Jackdaw will be left behind, so you’ll have to complete the rest of the quest on your own. To move on to the next section, simply follow the yellow markers on your minimap to continue.

Reaching the end of the trail will take you to Jackdaw’s Tomb, where you’ll need to interact with a pool in the middle of the clearing. Interacting with him will open an entrance directly in front of you, after which three goblin followers will suddenly appear. Defeating them will allow you to enter the mysterious cave.

Once inside, head down the path until you come across a door that has three symbols in total on each side. Your objective here will be to hit all three symbols with your base cast in quick succession. This will open the door to the next region of the cave.

Follow the path again to progress, but keep in mind that you’ll be up against a lot of spiders at this point, so be prepared to defend yourself. Once you find the next door, your goal will always be to hit all three symbols in quick succession. This time, all three symbols are located on the left side of the entrance, and the last one has been sneakily placed on a rock formation southwest of the door.

With the next area now accessible, follow the main path again until you reach the section with the floating platform. Cast Accio on him to bring him closer to you. Once you’re on it, throw Accio back to the center block to move the platform.

Then follow the path to a large clearing. Here, you will be attacked by a group of spiders, which you will have to defeat to reach the bridge. Once you clear them, you can find another set of three symbols with two of them on either side of the bridge and one below. Use your base cast on all three to finish building the bridge.

Now that the bridge is complete, cross it until you reach the area containing the skeleton of Richard Jackdaw. You will need to collect the pages found on his corpse, which will awaken all the status around the area. Once you’ve defeated them all, head to the platform at the end of the hall and examine the swirling pool that appears in front of you.

This will open a magic door in front of you which you only have to enter. Reaching the end of the path will allow you to talk to a painting of Percival Rackham, which marks the end of the quest.
