Unlocking the quest
You can unlock this quest in the Astronomy Wing at Hogwarts. You get this quest from Arthur Plummly - one of the students.
Rewards for completing the quest
- XP;
- Appearance - you will unlock a new cosmetic item (Authentic Historian's Uniform) in the Cloaks and Robes tab.
First landmark
Arthur will give you a treasure map with which you can locate the secret treasure. You must find:
- skeleton from the top drawing;
- the fountain from the lower left drawing;
- the painting from the lower right drawing.
Use the stairs behind the quest starting point and go down to the lower levels. You will reach a large skeleton on display - listen to the short commentary of the hero.
Second landmark
Go down the next stairs and reach the double doors that lead to the courtyard. There is a dragon-shaped fountain there.
Third landmark
Choose the door behind the fountain, i.e. behind the dragon's back. Run forward, turn right and go up the stairs. Reach the portrait presented in the screenshot above - it is the last object to find.
Discover the painting's secret
Use the Accio spell on the painting - you will uncover the cache on it. Check the contents of the big chest.
Return to Arthur to report to him and complete the side quest.
