Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Level 16
THE PARTY

 

[16.1] New Area unlocked.


I solemnly swear I’m up to no good.

 

Mischief managed.
 [NOTE: I wonder what Harry always means with these two sentences each time a new Area is unlocked?]

Harry: The Aurors have opened this part of the Castle now. Come on, let’s go to Slughorn’s Party.


Take Luna to the Party in Slughorn’s Office

 

Go all around the gallery and shake out the Mini-Crests from the lanterns.


You will enter the gallery first

 

Now enter the Courtyard, hit the bird and look at the two framed Crests you could not get before. Now you can because of the Exploding Cauldron Box that you have gotten as a Reward.


The Exploding Cauldron Box was one of your Rewards

 

Cast Wingardium Leviosa to maneuver a Cauldron under the left Crest. Cast the Spell again. The Cauldron will hit the wall and explode causing the Crest dropping to the floor.


Take the Crest

 

Repeat with the Crest on your right.


Take the second Crest

 

The door gives access to the Antechamber of the Great Hall of moving staircases.


Enter the Antechamber

 

As always, take the Mini-Crests from the flying bird and the two statues and enter the Conference Hall for more Mini-Crests. Leave and make a tour of the Great Hall. The smaller doors are now accessible. Explore all of them.


Explore the newly opened areas for Mini-Crests and Hogwarts Crests

 

This will bring you to the 7th floor where you can trigger the bench to hit a Crest behind a statue in an alcove.


The bench and the framed crest behind the statue

 

You can’t get the bench past the statue though (for now) and the bench will tumble all the way down. Go down the spiral staircase and find a Crest on your way.


A Crest on your way down

 

Down below the spiral staircase you can enter the cellar. Find a framed Crest and an Exploding Cauldron Box to knock it out.


Use an Exploding Cauldron to get that Crest

 

Further on there is a Crest for grabbing.


Just walk to the Crest and collect it

 

At this point you’ll get an extra Crest from all the Mini-Crests you’ve gathered.


A Crest earned by your Mini-Crests

 

Now you will enter a Crypt (?) and notice a Crest behind a spider web. Cast Incendio on the web to burn it down and get the Crest out of the niche with Wingardium Leviosa.


The Crest behind the spider web

 

Proceed to a room where you can knock out a framed Crest with a bench.


Hit the Crest with the bench

 

There is a side passage with some stairs leading to a Crest. Go down the stairs and get it.


A Crest down in a side passage

 

Leave this part of the Castle through the Grand Staircase Shortcut (you have been here before).


Press green to say the password

 

The painting will reply: Lumen Siccum. The door will open.

Take a tour of the Great Hall for more Mini-Crests and enter 5th floor. Find the next Crest on your left.


Your next Hogwarts Crest

 

Proceed and lift up the cabinet to hit the framed Crest above the door.


Knock the Crest out of its frame

 

Go out through this door, and enter the opening right under the 7th floor. There you will meet Luna who has been waiting for you.


Go in here


Are you ready to go to the Party now?

 

No, you’re not. Explore this entire floor for Mini-Crests and then follow Luna to Prof. Slughorn’s Office.


The Office of Professor Slughorn

 

Go in and meet the man himself.


Harry, m’boy...

 

Glad you came! There are so many people I want you to meet.
Harry: Professor Slughorn. There’s no one else here.
Slughorn: Of course not! And a good job, too. We’re not ready yet, not in the least bit ready. That’s where I could do with a spot of help. I’m sure you and Miss, er... er...
 Harry: Lovegood.
Slughorn:... here will soon get the place in shape. I was going to rustle up a Party punch for my guests, but time has not been willing. Could you mix something for me perhaps?

Then you will see a cauldron and that is when an Autosave is made. You can exit the game and see your current score:


Your number of Crests and Mini-Crests

Level 17:

COCKTAIL PUNCH
