Understanding the Large Potting Table
The Large Potting Table is a crucial upgrade for your Room of Requirement, allowing you to grow larger plants and even rare ones that require specific conditions. To unlock it, you'll need to progress through the main story and complete certain tasks. Here's what you need to know.
Prerequisites for Unlocking the Large Potting Table
- Story Progression: You must reach Year 5 in Hogwarts Legacy's main story.
- Room of Requirement Upgrades: Before unlocking the Large Potting Table, ensure you've upgraded your Room of Requirement to include the Greenhouse. This upgrade is available in Year 4.
Unlocking the Large Potting Table
Once you've met the prerequisites, follow these steps to unlock the Large Potting Table:
- Head to the Room of Requirement and interact with the Greenhouse.
- Select the 'Upgrade' option and choose 'Large Potting Table'.
- You'll be presented with a challenge: 'Grow a Mandrake in under 5 minutes'.
The Mandrake Challenge
The Mandrake is a notoriously difficult plant to grow, but with the right strategy, you can meet the challenge's requirements. Here's how:
- Plant the Mandrake seed in the Large Potting Table.
- Use the 'Growth' spell (Evocation) to speed up the plant's growth. Cast it repeatedly, waiting for the cooldown between casts.
- Monitor the plant's health. If it starts to wilt, use the 'Protego' spell (Shield Charm) to protect it from damage.
- Once the Mandrake is fully grown, use the 'Lumos' spell (Wand-Lighting Charm) to harvest it quickly. Be careful not to damage the plant during harvest.
Congratulations! You've Unlocked the Large Potting Table
