Unlocking Snape in LEGO Harry Potter: Your Potion Master Mission
You’re roaming Hogwarts in LEGO style and wish to play as Severus Snape? Good choice. Who wouldn’t want to mix potions and cast glances at LEGO students? Unlocking Snape needs effort and some tips.
Where to Find Snape’s Character Token?
Snape is not hiding in the Forbidden Forest. He’s in his natural spot: the Potions Classroom. That’s where potions bubble. To find him, complete these steps:
- Go to the Potions Classroom. It’s easy to find; follow the signs or your ghost guide.
- Walk confidently to the front of the class. Think Gryffindor confidence, even if you’re more Hufflepuff today.
- Look to your right. See that door? That’s your gateway to Snape. Go through it.
Assemble Your Dream Team (for Unlocking Snape)
Simply entering won’t make Snape a playable character. LEGO Harry Potter needs specific skills and characters. For this mission, gather these three:
- Griphook: He’ll handle goblin tasks.
- Justin Finch-Fletchly: Don’t overlook Hufflepuff. He’s handy for being himself.
- Hermione Granger: She’s the brains. She might have a Time-Turner if complications arise.
Now with this team ready, tackle the puzzles and secure Snape’s token.
The Snape-Snatching Process: A Quick Rundown
Let’s dive into the details. You must use Griphook, Justin, and Hermione’s unique abilities to engage with the environment in the Snape area. It’s like a puzzle made by a less cruel Snape.
While exact steps need exploration (we don’t want to spoil all the fun), remember to use each character’s special skill at the right time. Griphook for goblin panels, Justin for animal interactions, and Hermione for solving things with her magic.
Beyond Snape: Expanding Your LEGO Hogwarts Crew
Unlocking Snape is just one step in LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4. To collect witches and wizards, follow these rules:
- Character Tokens are Your Golden Snitches: Collect these icons scattered throughout levels. It’s a must for your collection.
- Diagon Alley Shopping Spree: After acquiring a token, head to Diagon Alley to buy your character. Think of it as paying for their Hogwarts tuition… in retroactive style.
Character Unlock Hotspots: A Whirlwind Tour
Want to speed up your character collection? Here are some quick tips for grabbing sought-after LEGO minifigs:
- Lord Voldemort: To unlock him, collect all 200 Gold Bricks. Go to Borgin and Burkes in Knockturn Alley. Build a gateway, complete a bonus level. Now he’s yours.
- Professor Dumbledore (Grey): In the blue stud room, find a Dark Magic chest. Open it with Dark Magic, unleash your spells on the planetary model, and Grey Dumbledore appears!
- Lucius Malfoy: While rescuing a Student in Peril, look for a chest that needs blasting with Reducto magic. Blast it; Lucius Malfoy is your reward!
- Barty Crouch Jr: In Year 4 during Quidditch World Cup, find a box. Use Mr. Weasley to unlock it using his magical skills. Token acquired!
- Draco Malfoy: In the first Dark Arts classroom, find a Dark Magic gate. Enter the hallway and eliminate four annoying pixies. Draco Malfoy will appear!
- Hagrid: In an unknown area, find a sealed chest. Use the Reducto spell on it. Hagrid joins you after that.
- Fang: In an area, look for a hidden spot in the southeast. Use Fang or Hermione’s cat to dig there. Fang is yours!
- Tom Riddle: In the Basilisk’s Lair, find a safe in the far corner. Open it and Tom Riddle will appear, looking ominous.
Dark Magic: Snape’s Specialty (and More!)
Dark Magic is the darker side of wizarding. Snape is great at using it. If you want to unlock shadowy objects, he’s your guy.
Barty Crouch Jr also dabbles in Dark Arts. And Grey Dumbledore is near a Dark Magic chest. Coincidence in LEGO? Probably not.
Cheat Codes: Wiseacre’s Wizarding Equipment to the Rescue
Feeling lazy? Or just efficiency-minded? LEGO games have cheat codes too! In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, go to Wiseacre’s Wizarding Equipment in Diagon Alley. Look for the chalkboard – your cheat station. Type in the codes and get ready for…magic shortcuts! Use wisely!
Game Completion Time: How Long to LEGO Hogwarts Mastery?
Wondering how long you’ll be in this brick-built world? If you focus on just the main storyline, expect about 12 hours of gameplay.
If you’re a completionist aiming for 100% LEGO Harry Potter glory? You’ll spend around 27 and a half hours for full completion of characters, secrets, and gold bricks.
This is your guide to unlocking Snape, collecting characters, exploring Dark Magic, and mastering LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4. Go forth, wizard! Build your LEGO Hogwarts legacy!
