Hogsmeade Valley Infamous Foes – Location & How to Beat

Rampant Dugbog

  • Enemy Type – Dugbog
  • Closest Floo Flame – East North Ford Bog
  • Side Quest – N/A
Rampant Dugbog

The Rampant Dugbog is in a small bog in the location shown above. You’ll find a few other Dugbog roaming the area when you first arrive. Once you engage the Rampant Dugbog, the other Dugbog will also attack.

Use Levioso and Descendo to keep the Rampant Dugbog from using its tongue. That is its most deadly attack.

All dugbog are weak to a combination of Levioso and Diffindo. Use Levioso right before they attack with their tongue. This will levitate them from their tongue.

Cast Diffindo right after to slash directly at their tongue. For most Dugbog, this is deadly and sometimes even an insta-kill.

Tempeste Thorne Location

  • Enemy Type – Dark Wizard
  • Closest Floo Flame – Falbarton Castle
  • Side Quest – N/A
Tempeste Throne Location

Once you arrive at the above location, you’ll find yourself face-to-face with a bandit camp where Tempeste Throne hides.

The best course of action is taking as many enemies down with the stealth spell, Petrificus Totalus. This will allow you to control the battlefield a bit better. Defeat these enemies, and Tempeste Throne will eventually appear.

We recommend using a combination of Expelliarmus, Confringo, Depulso, and Ancient Magic Throw to keep your enemies at bay while you deal with Tempeste Throne.

Crucio is a great spell to keep Tempeste Throne down while you rain down Confringo and Diffindo on her if you don’t mind dabbling with the Dark Arts.

Although, you’ll need to pay a visit to the Undercroft if you wish to learn about it.

Bardolph Beaumont’s Corpse

  • Enemy Type – Inferius
  • Closest Floo Flame – North Ford Bog Entrance
  • Side Quest – Brother’s Keeper
Hogwarts Legacy Brother's Keeper

The only way to find Bardolph Beaumont’s Corpse is by beginning the Brother’s Keeper side quest in Hogwarts Legacy.

Speak to Dorothy Sprottle and ask her about Bardolph Beaumont. She’ll mention he went missing and task you with finding him. Follow the quest marker on your map, and you’ll come across Bardolph Beaumont’s as an Inferius.

There are a few other Inferius with him, so use spells such as Incendio and Confringo to light them on fire, or else you won’t damage them.

Once they’re lit up, use a combination of Diffindo and Ancient Magic Throw to lower their health quickly, including Bardolph Beaumont’s Corpse.

Gwendolyn Zhou

  • Enemy Type – Dark Wizard
  • Closest Floo Flame – West Hogsmeade
  • Side Quest – A Basis for Blackmail
Hogwarts Legacy Basis for Blackmail

To find Gwendolyn Zhou, you must speak to Natty to begin the A Basis for Blackmail quest.

During this quest, you’ll enter an Ashwinder Hideout hidden in Hogsmeade. Head into the hideout and defeat all enemies, including Gwendolyn Zhou.

Use spells such as Expillarmus, Confringo, Levioso, and Glacius to keep the Dark Wizards from attacking. You can also use Crucio, but with Natty present, it could harm your relationship with her.

Pregrit

Use spells like Levioso, Depulso, Glacius, and Confringo to remove the different color shields. You’ll need to be on your toes and use Stupefy as much as possible due to the number of enemies alongside Pregrit.

Forbidden Forest Infamous Foes – Location & How to Beat

The Absconder

  • Enemy Type – Spider
  • Closest Floo Flame – North Ford Bog Entrance
  • Side Quest – Absconder Encounter
Hogwarts Legacy Absconder Encounter

To find The Absconder, you must obtain the Absconder Encounter quest from Edgar Adley in Aranshire.

After this, the quest marker moves into the Forbidden Forest. The Absconder is inside the cave and is one of the most difficult foes in Hogwarts Legacy.

Make sure you bring plenty of potions to help negate damage and heal up. Use as many Damage Spells (Red) as possible to bring down its health. Incendio, Confringo, Diffindo, and Bombarda should all help.

Do not use Utility (Yellow) or Force (Purple) Spells since the Absconder is too large to be affected by them.

South Hogwarts Region Infamous Foes – Location & How to Beat

The Insatiable Spider

  • Closest Floo Flame – Tangled Web in Aranshire
  • Side Quest – Tangled Web

Once Winter arrives, players can find the quest in Hogsmeade by speaking to Crispin Dunne. The Insatiable Spider’s location is shown in the quest marker with the quest accepted.

This battle will require players to battle multiple spiders while fighting The Insatiable Spider. Thankfully, spiders are weak to fire spells like Confringo and Incendio.

Use these to clear out the smaller spiders and clear the way to focus on the Infamous Foe. You’ll need your Damage (Red) spells here since any other spells won’t have too great an effect on the spider.

Walking inside the cave, you’ll find yourself with a pack of wolves, including The Grim and The White Wolf.

The best way to fight is to use Crucio to incapacitate either the Grim or the White Wolf and then use Bombarda and Confringo to clear out the other wolves.

Quagmire Troll

  • Enemy Type – Troll
  • Closest Floo Flame – Northern South Sea Bog
  • Side Quest – N/A
Quagmire Troll Location

The Quagmire Troll is northeast of the Northern South Sea Bog Floo Flame. When fighting any troll, maintaining your distance and using high-damage spells is the best strategy.

Use Confringo, Bombarda, Diffindo, and Glacius to help you create combos and build your Ancient Magic Meter. Use your Ancient Magic to dent the troll’s health as much as possible.

Thankfully, you can increase your Ancient Magic Meter to hold up to five charges of Ancient Magic.

Alexandra’s Troll

  • Enemy Type – Troll
  • Closest Floo Flame – Brocburrow
  • Side Quest – Troll Control
Alexandra's Troll Location

Alexandra’s Troll is found just south of Brocburrow after accepting the Troll Control quest by talking to Alexandra Ricketts.

  • Closest Floo Flame – North Feldcroft
  • Side Quest – The Lost Child
The Lost Child Hogwarts Legacy

After completing the High Keep main quest, players can find Catrin Hogarty by speaking to Natty Onai in Lower Hogsfield. Once you speak to Natty, you’ll begin The Lost Child quest.

Follow the quest marker, and you’ll arrive at an Ashwinder Tent. Inside, you’ll need to sneak about or defeat many Ashwinders before finally reaching Catrin Haggarty.

When fighting Catrin, use Explelliarmus, Confringo, and Diffindo to take down her health quickly.

Ogbert the Old

  • Enemy Type – Goblin
  • Closest Floo Flame – North Poidsear Coast

Ogbert the Old is found near the end of the Coastal Cave. If you’ve already found the North Poidsear Coast Floo Flame, fast-travel there and then turn around.

Head back into the cave, and you will immediately see Ogbert the Old alongside a few other goblins. Use Incendio, Levioso, and Depulso to keep the enemies at bay.

Make sure to cast Expelliarmus on any goblins with a crossbow to minimize their attacks.

Use Disillusionment to sneak into the camp and take down as many enemies as possible with Petrificus Totalus. Once found out, use Confringo, Bombarda, and Crucio to crowd control the remaining poachers.

With Iona Morgan, use Crucio and Expelliarmus to keep her at bay until you can focus on her.

In the location shown in the map above, you’ll find a statue that you can cast Incendio on to activate. Once it reveals the button, step on it, and you’ll be transported to an underground area.

Ailsa Travers and the Lord of the Manor will both be here. Use Confringo, Incendio, and Bombarda to help with the Inferius in the area.
