Meet Poppy Sweeting
You can do this quest after reaching at least level 19. The place where you meet with Poppy is in the North Ford Bog region. It's best to get there on a broom, because it's one of the hills in the area.
Search for signs of poachers
Follow Poppy. You don't have to fight centaurs, but you may encounter other monsters along the way.
In the abandoned camp, a purple circle will appear on the mini-map - explore it. Use Revelio to find blue tracks. They are the cage, animal skin, campfire and goblin metal. Talk to Poppy again.
Enter the tent
Together with Poppy you will reach areas guarded by poachers. You can fight them directly, or use the Disillusionment spell to avoid them or perform stealth attacks.
Walk over the bridge to the second part of the camp. There is a Poacher Tent inside. It will turn out to be magical, because you will find yourself in a huge new location where illegal dragon fights are organized.
Investigate Horntail Hall
While exploring the tent, you can still sneak or engage in direct combat. If you choose stealth, use the basic spell to distract the first poacher.
Use the ladder to reach the place from which you can see an imprisoned dragon. Talk to Poppy.
Collect the dragon egg
Head towards the room with the dragon. Along the way, you'll come across a cage with a Dragon Egg. You must take this key item with you. The cage has a level 1 lock, so you have to cast Alohomora I and complete the lockpicking mini-game.
Defeat the poachers
Reach the room with the dragon. It is worth starting the battle with a stealth attack. Watch out for the circles above the hero's head (block or dodge) and destroy enemy shields with appropriate spells. It is also worth disarming them (Expelliarmus spell) and throw objects.
Animagus, a poacher, will join the fight at some point - use purple spells to remove his shield. Focus on defeating him quickly.
Free the dragon
After winning the battle, use the Accio spell on the hook under the dragon (picture above). The beast will be released and fly out of the tent.
After returning outside, listen to the conversation with Poppy to end the quest.
