After realizing that the Snidgets might be threatened by poachers from Hogwarts Legacy, you and Poppy Sweeting decide to ask the centaurs for help in “The Centaur and the Stone.” During the “surprise meeting” above, you quickly discover that the aggressive centaurs are unwilling to help you in your business. However, Elder Dorran agrees to help by sending you and Poppy in search of a special moonstone, which must be placed in a henge in the woods. Therefore, you need to travel to Irondale in the Feldcroft area to meet Poppy in a cave called Moonstone Garden.

When you enter the starting room during the relationship quest “The Centaur and the Stone” in Hogwarts Legacy, you must first cast Depulso on a collapsed door to progress through the cave. After entering the second room, you will encounter your first enemy, a Cottongrass Dugbog. Remember that you can cast Levioso just before he attacks you with his tongue, leaving him hanging in the air, vulnerable to your spells. Cast Depulso again on the dented metal door to continue. Several Fwoopers will hover above you in a larger cave with a huge tree, where you’ll find your objective quest item, the Scholar’s Moonstone.

The next main room you will enter will be the first Hogwarts Legacy puzzle during “The Centaur and the Stone”. On either side of the outlet are two Moth Rotators. To activate the mechanisms, you will need two moths. After walking around the room, you will notice various runic symbols on the walls. To open these walls and reveal their internal compartments, you need to throw Accio into the rings on the walls with a single cue. Removing two horizontal columns from a certain symbol will open the wall with two identical runic marks. For the moths to solve the puzzle, open the second wall on the left and the first wall on the right.

After collecting the moths from the first puzzle in “The Centaur and the Stone”, use Lumos in Hogwarts Legacy to guide them into the rotators before casting Depulso to open the door. The next chamber is the second and final puzzle you will encounter during this mission. It’s about using the butterflies you found in the previous room, including a third one, which you have to get at the lower level of the room. To solve the puzzle, cast Lumos again to direct the two butterflies you found earlier to the two butterfly rotators in this new room. Then use Depulso on the first rotator to open a bridge and pass to the opposite side.

Point your wand at the spinning top next to the waterfall and cast Depulso again to get the third moth in “The Centaur and the Stone” from Hogwarts Legacy. Use Lumos to guide him out of the room before collecting the other two Rotator Moths, placing them on the door to open it. The next room will have two large Thorny Dugbogs that you will need to defeat before continuing. If your goal is to get the “Finish” achievement/trophy, you can attack them with ancient magic if your gauges are ready. After clearing the room, swim in the pool of water in front of you and dip into the hot tub to enter the final cave in the Moonstone Garden.

The final Moonstone Garden cave in “The Centaur and The Stone” has no enemies to face in Hogwarts Legacy. However, you will need to equip the Fire spell to remove the thorny bushes blocking the path twice along the winding path leading to the central Fwooper tree. After climbing to the top, you’ll find the Scholars’ Moonstone, the quest item Dorran told you to place in the forest henge during the “surprise meeting.”
Once you have the Scholar’s Moonstone, you can continue exploring the Moonstone Garden or head straight to the henge in the woods with your partner Poppy in Hogwarts Legacy. Upon reaching the henge, you will notice a small ravine between you and the destination. Unfortunately, flying on your broom is prohibited during this mission, so you’ll need to turn around and descend the rocky platform to the dirt road below. Follow the path to the left then climb the small ridge to reach the henge on the hill above.

For the final step of “The Centaur and the Stone” in Hogwarts Legacy, you need to approach the henge and place the scholar moonstone in the round crevice. Several Mooncalfs will appear and start dancing happily around the henge. Poppy will then give you some insight into her family’s less-than-ideal background before sending you back to Hogwarts to wrap up the quest.
