Hogwarts Legacy "Professor Garlick's Assignment 1" Guide

For the quest “Professor Garlick’s Assignment I” from Hogwarts Legacy you should obtain and test a Venomous Tentacula and Mandrake.

In this guide, you will learn how to find these two combat tools and how to complete the quest. As a reward, you will receive the Wingardium Leviosa spell.

Quest Objectives

These are the quest objectives for Professor Garlick’s Assignment 1:

• Obtain and test a Venomous Tentacula.
• Acquire and test a Mandrake against multiple enemies at once.
• Attend herbalism classes during the day.
• Return to Professor Garlick.

Obtain and Test a Venomous Tentacula

The first step is to get a Venomous Tentacula. The easiest way is to buy the plant from a vendor. Travel to Hogsmeade and find the Dogweed & Deathcap shop north of town.

Beatrice Green, the proprietor of Dogweed & Deathcap, sells various battle tools that include Venomous Tentacula and Mandrake. Visit their store and buy each:

• 1x Venomous Tentacula (600 galleons)
• 1x Mandrake (500 galleons)

The two combat tools will cost you a total of 1,100 galleons.

How to Use Venomous Tentacula?

If you haven’t done the quest Professor Sharp’s Assignment 1 yet, here’s a brief explanation of how to use potions and battle tools (like the Venomous Tentacula):

To use a potion or combat tool, long press the key that allows you to select your potions (e.g. Tab on PC, L1, or LB). Now select the desired item and release the button to equip the potion or battle tool. Then tap the same key (e.g. Tab on PC, L1, or LB) once briefly to use the item.

So to complete the first step of the quest “Professor Garlick’s Task 1” you buy, equip, and use a Venomous Tentacula. You can do this directly in Madame Green’s shop.

Acquire and Test a Mandrake Against Multiple Enemies At Once

Equip the Mandrake. Then look for at least 2 opponents and wait until they are relatively close to you. If you now use the Mandrake (with e.g. Tab, L1, or LB), it will roar and you will also complete the quest step “Acquire and test a Mandrake against multiple enemies at once”.

Attend Herbalism Classes During the Day

Now travel back to Hogwarts. The library extension is a good travel destination. It is best to travel directly to the greenhouses. Classes will not start if it is nighttime.

💡 How to skip time in Hogwarts Legacy?

If you have a Hogwarts Legacy quest that can only be completed at a certain time of day, you can make the time pass faster. To do this, open the map and press the hotkey for “Wait”. On the PC it is the hotkey “F”, with a controller e.g. the right thumbstick / analog stick.

Skipping times of day by waiting is useful for several quests, including Ghost of our Love.

Return to Professor Garlick

Now return to Professor Garlick to complete the quest “Professor Garlick’s Quest 1”. As a reward, you can now learn the Wingardium Leviosa spell. With Wingardium Leviosa you can lift objects and put them down in specific places. You can practice this with the chests that are in the greenhouse. If you move the chest under the stairs, you will find a potion underneath as a small reward.
