Follow our Hogwarts Legacy The High Keep walkthrough to climb the battlements, solve puzzles with Depulso and Accio, and navigate the gatehouse to reach the roof.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head to the scaffolding on the ground and climb it to find a hole in the wall leading to the battlements.
  2. 2
    Turn left to find a room with a locked gate. Cast Depulso on the wheel crank to the left of the door to open it.
  3. 3
    Inside the room, use Accio to drag a box out onto the battlement. Don't forget the collectible note and lootable chest inside!
  4. 4
    Drag the chest to the right of the lower battlement, where the stonework fades.
  5. 5
    Cast Levioso on the box. Once it's floating, jump on top of it to climb over and complete this part of the quest.
  6. 6
    To enter the gatehouse, walk around the catwalk to the end of the pathway where a window is located.
  7. 7
    Cast Accio to drag a crate in the room closer to the window.
  8. 8
    Head back to the wooden board covering a hole in the wall, destroy it, and crawl through into the room.
  9. 9
    Cast Depulso on the turning wheel on the left side of the room to raise the portcullis as much as possible.
  10. 10
    Use Accio on the brass handle on the wall where the portcullis is raised to drag out a platform, preventing the portcullis from falling.
  11. 11
    To get to the roof, scale another scaffolding and climb the outside of the tower.
  12. 12
    Follow the tower until you find a staircase leading to another outside area below.
  13. 13
    Use Revelio and look for a blue box behind a wall. Cast Depulso through the gap in the wall to knock it down to the stair area.
  14. 14
    Use Accio to drag the box over the broken stairs, then cast Levioso on it.
  15. 15
    Jump on the floating box and then between the broken parts of the staircase to reach the other side.
  16. 16
    Once across, it's recommended to go invisible using Disillusionment to stealthily take down Poacher Trackers, Poacher Duellists, and Poacher Stalkers.
  17. 17
    You can also use Repulso to fling enemies off the castle wall.
  18. 18
    Unlock the locked door using Alohomora.
  19. 19
    Continue navigating the roof area, using Disillusionment again as more Poacher Trackers will spawn. Use stealth takedowns or fling them off the wall.
  20. 20
    Loot any chests and bags you find while climbing the tower.
  21. 21
    At the top, a cutscene will play, and you will escape with Highwing and a friend, completing The High Keep mission and unlocking your flying mount.
Tips
  • Going invisible with Disillusionment makes it easier to fight Poachers.
  • Flinging enemies off the castle wall with Repulso provides easy eliminations.
  • Loot all chests and bags you find before reaching the top of the tower.
