The High Keep

“High Fortress” is a story mission in Hogwarts Legacy. Together with Natty, you will infiltrate Falbarton Castle to obtain a compromising letter about Ruckw and Harlow.

Meeting with Natty at Falbarton Castle

Head to Falbarton Castle—Natty is waiting for you nearby. She will tell you some important news: her investigation into Harlow’s activities has yielded results. Inside the castle, there is a letter proving the collusion between Rukvu and Harlow. This evidence will help put both of them behind bars.

Breaking into the castle

After the conversation, move forward and turn right to climb the fortress wall. Further actions require the sequential use of spells:

In front of you are wooden planks covering a hatch. Break them, but don’t rush to crawl inside. First, go around to the right and use Action on the box in the room through the window. Only then return and crawl through the hatch.

Once inside, hit the gate mechanism several times with Depulso. The gate will begin to close—quickly use Actio on the ring in the wall to block it.

Natti will join you. Walk with her to the gate and watch the cutscene: dark wizards attack the hippogriff Highflyer with spells, and he breaks free.

Path to the roof

Climb up the fortifications on the right. Through the broken window, use Depulse on the box at the end of the passage, then climb down on the right side.

On the opposite side, you will see a broken staircase with a gap. Use Wingardium Leviosa to move the crate into the gap, then Levioso to create a platform for climbing. At the top, you will encounter poachers — deal with them in any way you see fit.

On the left is a locked gate — open it with the Alohomora spell and continue along the path. Be prepared for an ambush: poachers’ rangers will attack you. After the battle, use Alohomora again on the next gate.

Inside the tower, you can rescue several creatures:

• Fluffy
• Nyukhlera

This is optional, but if you want to help them, go ahead. Then climb the stairs to the top, where Vysokryl and another hippogriff await you. You will climb onto Vysokryl, and Natsai will find herself in his claws — but only for a moment: the hippogriff will gently lower her onto the back of the second hippogriff. You will have time to fly away before the poachers open fire on you.

Flight on Vysokryle

This moment marks your first time controlling a flying mount in the game. Enjoy your flight on the Highwing: you’ll soar past Hogwarts and land in a safe place.

After landing, Natty will tell you that Rukvu is searching for the phoenix. She promises to contact you as soon as she finds out more about the letter’s whereabouts.
