Start with using the Upper Hogsfield Floo Flame point to reach your destination—the Spinner Cavern—faster. The cave entrance area will be infested with spiders. Defeat them all and then head inside. Numerous danger signs are erected to signify the presence of spiders and crumbling rocks.

As you progress deeper into the cave, you will find a note. The protagonist comments on how inconsiderate Tobbs’ master is. Keep walking straight ahead, and you will reach an area wherein the protagonist calls out to Tobbs, but there is no response. Ensure you cast Revelio and collect all the chests and items along the way.

Some cobwebs will block your path. Cast Incendio to burn them down and proceed to your objective. You will encounter some more spiders the deeper you head into the cavern. They don’t pose a serious threat.

Crouch through a claustrophobic area to reach the next section. Upon exiting the previous area, you will face a Matriarch and an ambusher spider, along with several small ones helping them. Keep your distance and use damage spells to get rid of them. You will find another note in this area written by Tobbs. He seems to have gone deeper into the cave.

Proceed to the final area and face the Acromantula spider. It has fast attack patterns despite its size. Keep dodging away from it and deal with the smaller spiders first. Resort to damage spells combined with Stupefy to stun the Acromantula and gain a few seconds to plan your next attack.

Keep moving forward after defeating the spider. You will eventually come across Tobbs, but sadly he is no more. The note beside him reveals that Acromantula managed to strike him. You must travel back to the Room of Requirement to deliver the sad news to Deek. He gets dejected about losing his friend, concluding the Plight of The House Elf side mission in Hogwarts Legacy.
