In the Shadow of the Mine Hogwarts Legacy main quest guide

1) Meet Sebastian by the Overlook

Speak with Sebastian, who will be at the viewpoint just northeast of Upper Hogsfield. He will clarify that this is the region depicted on the triptych and that there is an abandoned mine down the path that serves as a gathering point for Ranrok's Loyalists. You can attack foes or sneak past them with the Disillusionment spell.

To reach the mine entrance, scurry down the hill and make your way through two enemy camps.

2) Go inside the Overlook Mine

Once inside, you will come across two Loyalist warriors. Eliminate them, then turn left and take the path requiring you to climb the ledge and reach a slope at the end. After descending through the slope, you will encounter a group of loyalist warriors.

To move on, you must get rid of them. Once the area has been cleared, use Wingardium Leviosa to lift the crate that can be identified using the spell Revelio and set it against the wall before climbing the higher wall.

Slide through the second slope by taking the path to the left. As you ascend the ledge to your left after reaching the bottom, you will see a damaged wooden bridge. Cast Reparo to fix it, then cross the bridge.

Venomous Scurriors will attack you on the other side. Take them out and move on through the passageway. You will have to crouch down to traverse some crawlways as you proceed forward. You will then descend into a massive battle arena.

You'll first encounter a sizable number of enemies, including Loyalist Warriors and Venomous Scurriors in this location, followed by two Matriarchs.

Use Confringo or Incendio to remove the different spiderwebs once the area is free of enemies, and you'll see rune symbols. There are three: one right next to the closed rune door, one nestled to its left, and the last farther to the right. To open the chamber door, quickly hit all three with Basic spells.
