Philosopher's Stone

### **Welcome to the Philosopher's Stone Quest Guide!**

**NOTE:**Completing the Philosopher's Stone quests will not make you a Year 2. To year up, you have to complete year requirements and pass the Year 2 test located in the Trophy Room. You can complete this quest in any year.
To access your quest book and see your progress, either use **/quests** or you can get a physical quest book by typing **/trunk -> commands -> DA Quests**.

#### **Part 1:**

Firstly, You’ll need to go to the Leaky Cauldron (/warp -> Leaky Cauldron) and walk through and out the doors into the Diagon Alley entrance.

Once you get there, talk to Hagrid and accept the quest.

Once you talk to Hagrid, right-click the brick wall to enter Diagon Alley and walk straight down the path to get to Gringotts.

When you arrive in Gringotts, you should see Hagrid at the front desk. Walk over to him, talk to him, then he’ll proceed to tell you a very interesting story about a vault in Gringotts, but will then go on to tell you he’s on official Hogwarts business.

After you talk to Hagrid, proceed to walk down the stairwell behind the goblin. Then, walk over the Low Security Vaults, which is the one on the very right, and then click on the button and hop in a minecart to begin your adventure down to the vaults!

Once you’re at the end of the minecart ride, make sure to press shift when the signs say to, or you’ll suffer a nasty, fiery death!

Once you arrive in the vaults, make sure to click on the sign to summon Hagrid and then talk to him. He’ll ask you to find Vault 713. To get there, you’ll need to walk past him and walk down the left-side corridor until you see a sign labeled “Pssst” with a button underneath. Once you get there, click on the button and you’ll arrive at Vault 713.

When you get there, walk inside the vault.

#### **Part 2:**

Now, make your way back to the Great Hall. Once you get the therel, talk to Hermione and accept her quest.

After you talk to Hermione, walk into the Great Hall and go on the right side of the Gryffindor table and walk down to the sixth bench where the paper is.

After you find the paper and your quest updates, walk to Hagrid’s Hut by going up to the second floor corridor then walk down the stairs to your right and walk through the painting on your left. After you warp to the clocktower, walk out to the courtyard and walk across the bridge, and follow the path straight down to Hagrid’s Hut.

Once you enter his hut, talk to Hagrid.

#### **Part 3:**

Begin by heading back to the Great Hall. Then, start heading to the first floor corridor, and once you get to the door, walk up the stairs to the left. You should then reach a platform that houses a painting, then proceed by walking through said painting and click the sign. This will teleport you to the library.

Once you get to the library, go to your right and walk up the spiral staircase. Once you reach the second floor, go to the other side of the second floor then walk up the second set of spiral staircases (the one with white carpet on it.) Then, proceed to walk to the right side to the very far end on this floor. Once you walk up that set of stairs, walk straight and walk up the STONE stairs until you get to the very top where Madam Pince is located.

Once you find her, talk to her and accept the quest. Once you finish talking with her, go to /quests and it will tell you which bookshelf to go to in the appropriate order. To get to the signs, walk down the STONE staircases and follow what your questbooks says.

After you find all the sections, walk back down to the first floor of the library and head left from the entrance of the library, walk past the spiral staircase, then continue walking left and keep going straight then stand in front of the sign that says “Restricted Section” so your questbook updates.

#### **Part 4:**

Now, you’re going to need to warp to the Great Hall and then accept the quest by talking to Hermione. Once you talk to Hermione, head towards the Grand Staircase and talk to Ron on the left.

Once you talk to Ron, walk up the staircase to the very top where the Gryffindor Common Room is located, Harry will be right outside. Talk to Harry and then he’ll tell you to go down to the Dungeons. Follow the path to the Potions classroom and once you are there, go down to where the cobwebs are and grab an invisibility cloak from under the stairs. (The stairs are in the opposite direction of the Potions classroom.)

Once you get the invisibility cloak, walk back to the library. Once you get there, walk to the restricted section again.

**NOTE**: Make sure your quest updates before you click the entry sign.

Walk to the very last bookshelf on the left side and click on the sign that says “Restricted Section Entry”.

**NOTE**: Make sure to stand directly in front of it.

Once you get in, turn left and walk straight until you get to the very last bookshelf opening on the left side. Once you get there, turn left and click the sign. You will then be apparated to another room. Once you get to that room, go straight and walk into the cobwebs in the fireplace/exit.

#### **Part 5:**

Once you’ve been apparated back into the Great Hall, walk back up the staircase and talk to Harry again. He’ll tell you that you need to return back to the library and search for Nicholas Flamel in the Alchemy Section. The Alchemy section is where you were looking for the other subjects in part 3. It’s located between two bookshelves.

Once you find the sign for the Alchemy section, go back to the Great Hall and talk to Hermione.

After you talk to Hermione, walk up the staircase and find the Third Floor Corridor. Once you find it, go inside and turn left and walk all the way down the corridor. Once you get to the door, you will be apparated back to the Great Hall.

#### **Part 6:**

Start by going to Hagrid’s Hut and talk to  Fang, Hagrid’s dog, and accept the quest.

Now, exit Hagrid’s hut and turn right to find Hagrid at the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Once you walk up to him, the quest will automatically update.

After you finish talking to Hagrid, begin to follow the blood trail leading into the forest.

**NOTE**: Make sure to step on every blood spot! You should get quite a few quest updates as you go. Most of the quest updates appear when you step on a blood spot under the trees.

Once you get to the end of the blood trail, you’ll see a sign that says “The Unicorn”. Click that sign.

Once you click it, follow the next set of blood trails and make sure not to miss one to find the sign to escape the hooded figure. Once you find the sign, click it and you’ll be teleported back to Hagrid. Once you’re in front of Hagrid again, talk to him.

#### **Part 7:**

**NOTE**: Helping with the maze part is not allowed, so I’ll give you some hints.

You’re almost there! This is the last part of the quest!

First, you need to go to talk to Professor McGonagall in the Transfiguration classroom. To get there, you need to walk down the first floor corridor and keep going until you get outside. Then, go to your right and it will be the first door that you see.

Once you get into the Transfiguration classroom, walk to McGonagall’s desk and talk to her to accept the quest.

Next, you need to go back to the Third Floor Corridor and get past Fluffy, the three headed dog!

Now you’re on your own! Good luck!

#### **Tips & Hints:**

* Remember to use Lumos *OR* Lumos Maxima in the Snare Maze.
* Bring food with you!
* Remember to take it slow and make sure your quest updates! Tale to all the NPCs necessary and read everything carefully or else you'll have to start over.

Happy Questing! Thanks to Emma (literallyemma) for writing out this guide!
