## Conversations

Player: *How can I help the order?*

Mundungus Fletcher: *'elp the Order?
Well... I'm part of the Order, inn't I?
So in a way, if you 'elp me, you 'elp the Order.
And it just so 'appens that I am in need of 'elp.
Y'see, I am in the 'abit of acquirin' certain objects that might be of interest to my lovely payin' customers.*

Player: *Acquiring? In what way?*

Mundungus Fletcher: *What are you implyin'?
You callin' me a thief?
I'm not a thief, you ... git.
I assure you; I am a gentleman of good intent.
A simple collector and purveyor of wondrous objects and magical artifacts.
Now, as it 'appens I've got my mind on one particular such item, stowed away somewhere in Hogwarts.
I was 'oping someone like you might be able to 'elp me out.
Shoul' be an easy job.
I would go of course.
Seen a fair bit of action in me life.
Occupational 'azard, innit?
But just 'appens I'm busy.
'Ave some business to attend to...
Places to be. I think you'd better go instead.
So what d'you say?
'elp me. 'elp the Order of the Phoenix.
It's a good cause.*

Player: *I'll help you.*

Mundungus Fletcher: *Good, good. Marvelous to 'ear.
Well, let me tell you, then.
I've 'eard talk of a special item, which I 'ave no doubt I'd be able to sell for a pretty sum.
Oh, and I'll be sure to pay you a significant part of ... well, a part of my earnings.
Y'see... Word has it there's a dead Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets below Hogwarts.
Bring a tooth to me and you'll get your reward.
From what I 'eard, the entrance is in the girls' lavatory.
So what d'you say?
'elp me. 'elp the Order of the Phoenix.
It's a good cause.*

Player: *I'll get the tooth.*

[——— *After completion* ———]

Mundungus Fletcher: *Ah, wonderful. Y'know, you look a bit shaken up.
I did warn you tha' getting' it would be tough, though. Did'n' I?
I'll 'ave this sold in no time.
One trip to Knockturn Alley should do it.
Once that den of deplorables sees this, they'll be trippin' over themselves to buy it off me.
'Ere, have your reward.*

## How to Complete the Task

**WARNING:** **The following section contains spoilers**
Before entering, prepare at least one Essence Of Gillyweed. If you have not already done so, follow the compass to Moaning Myrtle's Bathroom. Pull the switch on the right side of the bathroom to open the passage to the Chamber of Secrets. Head left, then down the tunnels. The passage is linear but lined with enemies. After a while, you will reach an underwater section. Drink an Essence Of Gillyweed and enter the water segment, watching out for Grindylows. Use Bombarda Maxima to pass through two blocked passages and then rise to the surface.

The next few corridors are tricky, because they have an infinite supply of rats, but the skeletons will not respawn. While you can find treasures down alternate routes, the correct path is: second left, next left, and through the Alohomora door. You will come to a puzzle room. Collect the Wingardium Leviosa block and bring it to the right to the slot to open the gate in front of it. Pull the switch nearby to open a smaller gate, which will allow you to move the Leviosa block without losing access to the gate. Return to the entrance of the room and go left, where you will find a Vera Verto magnet. Use it to pull the ladder block past the Mandrake - there are no earmuffs nearby so the Mandrakes are impassible.

Climb the block and face right to find a staircase you can jump to (as seen above). Once up top, look over the ledge to see the Wingardium Leviosa block from earlier. Use the spell to pull it up to you and put it in the nearby slot. This will raise another Vera Verto pillar on the far left of the room. Go back through the gate and pull the ladder block back where it started, then walk all the way around to the new Vera Verto pillar and activate that. You can then climb the ladder to proceed to a Lumos maze. After the maze and a fight, you will find the door to the Chamber, which you can open with a switch. Enter, collect the basilisk fang, and return to Mundungus.
