Hogwarts Legacy: How to complete the ‘Dissending for Sweets’ quest

Starting location

To access this quest, you need to get through your first potions class. Afterwards, Garreth Weasley is just outside the Great Hall through three series of doors. Talk to him.

He’ll inform you he is once more experimenting with potions. Garreth asks you to get Billywig Stings from Honeydukes for his latest idea: a process involving taking a secret passageway to the storage area of the shop.

Once you accept the quest, your target is the one-eyed witch statue inside the castle. You’ll find her down the Grand Staircase at the Faculty Tower exit and Floo station. There’s also a Field Guide Page at the statue, so be sure to use Revelio.

Interacting with the statue brings you down into the secret passageway. You soon find a broken lift.

Nothing Reparo can’t fix. After riding the lift, collect the Horklump Juice along the path and proceed. You’ll find spiderwebs blocking the way forward, but that’s what Incendio is good for.

Past the webs there is a square platform in the ground. Use Levioso on it to levitate it, and climb the platform then the rock wall to keep going.

You’ll soon find another one, so use Levioso again. The next one you encounter is broken; use Reparo followed by Levioso to progress. More spiderwebs will be in the way again soon after, due for another Incendio.

The final platform is a multi-step process; you first have to Repairo the platform, then use Accio on the hinge above it to flip it around. Only then can you Levioso it into place.

Then you encounter a different sort of puzzle all together, but the answer is as straightforward as it looks. Stand on the stone plate and use Incendio on both of the torches. The way forward will be revealed.

You’ve now reached Honeydukes’ storage. Walk right through straight ahead and you’ll find the Billywig Stings at the end of the hall.

Now you have your quest objective. Floo back to the Great Hall and return to Garreth in the same place as before to complete the quest. You’ll receive gold and a Conjuration Spellcraft for your efforts. Whether it was worth the journey is up to you.
