Upon unlocking the Room of Requirement and learning how to use the Nab-Sack from Deek the Elf, it’s possible to rescue Beasts in Hogwarts Legacy. There are many types of Beasts players can find while exploring the vast world varying from the cat-like Kneazles to the mighty Hippogriff. The latter, however, is considered a flying mount and requires an extra step to unlock.
Strangely enough, Poppy Sweeting isn’t the one who commissions to rescue the flying mount, but it's Natsai Onai (Natty). While trying to find evidence against Harlow in Hogwarts Legacy, the latter asks players to meet her near a castle ruin to start the High Keep quest.
How To Trigger The High Keep Quest In Hogwarts Legacy
After speaking with Natty in Lower Hogsfield, she advises the Protagonists to wait for her owl as she tries to figure out Harlow’s location in Hogwarts Legacy. After a while, Natty asks players to come and meet her near the Falbarton Castle Floo Flame, triggering The High Keep quest.
Upon traveling to the marked destination, speak with Natty who explains that she’s been following Harlow and watching his every move to find out his whereabouts. After witnessing him read a letter from Rookwood and tracking him to the castle ruins, Natsai confesses that it’s the perfect opportunity to sneak inside and find the letter.
How To Unlock Flying Mounts In Hogwarts Legacy
To unlock flying mounts, players must complete The High Keep main quest in Hogwarts Legacy. The first step is to find a way inside the castle grounds. As Natty tries the main gate, players must head down the slope to the right and climb the broken crates to see if there’s another way inside.
Now, a couple of spells must be used in Hogwarts Legacy to climb the high platform.
- Turn left and use Depulso on the wheel to open the locked room.
- Pull the box inside the room under the high platform by casting Wingardium Leviosa or Accio.
- Use Levioso to levitate the box.
- Jump onto it and climb the high platform.
Instead of destroying the wood blocking the small entrance on the left side of the wall and crouching inside, head to the end of the balcony and use Accio to pull the box out of the way as it’s impossible to cast a spell in Hogwarts Legacy while crouching.
To open the gate for Natty, use Depulso multiple times on the gate wheels, then quickly cast Accio on the hinge to put a barrier, forcing the gate to stay open. After reuniting with Natty and witnessing Harlow abusing Highwing, Poppy’s Hippogriff, Natsai decides to find the evidence while players are tasked with rescuing the Beast in Hogwarts Legacy.
How To Rescue Highwing
Upon getting separated from Natty, proceed forward and make sure to use Depulso on the box behind the broken window before heading down. Just like before, use Wingardium Leviosa or Accio to put the box underneath the high platform then cast Levioso to climb it.
After that, players need to follow the marked location while unlocking some doors using Alohomora until they reach the roof where Highwing and another Hippogriff are imprisoned. The final step is to follow Natty while riding Highwing and The High Keep quest is complete and flying mounts become available.
Once the Protagonists return to the Room of Requirement in Hogwarts Legacy, a new Vivarium will be unlocked, allowing players to put all kinds of flying mounts inside.
Hogwarts Legacy is available now on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. PS4, Xbox One, and Switch versions are currently in development.
