Distressed Portrait Side Quest Guide
how does it start
You need to go talk to Ferdinand Octavius Pratt. No, it’s not an in-game NPC, but a portrait in the library who’s alive like all the Hogwarts paintings and who you can talk to. He’ll tell you that they stole another painting he appears in, so you’ll need to retrieve it.
How to complete it
First, you need to go to the Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade to talk to a student named Astoria Crickett, who is the ringleader of the plan to steal the painting. He will tell you where he is and you will have to go to the camp where he is.
Once there, you will have to face Ashwinders. When you beat them, you just have to go down to a cave, where there is a locked door. Use Alohomora, and there will be the other paint.
In this point, you can do what you want. You can take the painting to Cabeza de Puerco or Las Tres Escobas. Although the Pig’s Head option is the most fun.
mission rewards
- You will get the summoning spell rarities rack
