The process to unlock Flipendo in Hogwarts Legacy

Flipendo is a mid-game item that is rewarded for completing Professor Garlick's Assignment 2. This quest is a sequel to Assignment 1, which requires the player to access and use Venomous Tentacula as well as Mandrake on multiple enemies simultaneously.

This mission also requires players to be at least level 16 to be eligible to start and complete two tasks similar to the previous mission. Although the quest is not very difficult, it is very lengthy and time-consuming. It is also recommended that players explore the map while playing Hogwarts Legacy, which will help them discover places and gain access to important shops and areas.

Objectives of Professor Garlick's Assignment 2

The quest asks the players to complete two tasks: the first one requires the players to grow and harvest Fluxweed. The second objective is to collect all three combat plants and use them simultaneously. Meeting the requisites of both objectives will reward players with Flipendo in Hogwarts Legacy.
