rianbattle Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) GUIDE NOW LISTS ALL 125 HOGWARTS CRESTS!!! This is a complete guide to the locations of every Hogwarts Crest in the game. This obviously does not include locations of the Mini-Crests, which you have to get over the course of the game. The number of mini-crests you have to collect is detailed in the list just below. I know the descriptions are a little unclear, but I tried as best as I could to keep everything organized. For example, when I say the Astronomy Tower, I also mean the room at the bottom as well as the hallway leading to it. I'm working on reorganizing the locations at the moment. NOTE: The last two crests I added since I first posted this guide are bolded(one is at the Boathouse and the other in the Viaduct Hallway). Thanks to BigStickKenobi, here are the values needed to obtain each crest: 100=1 200=2 300=3 450=4 600=5 800=6 1000=7 1250=8 1500=9 2000=10 2500=11 3000=12 4000=13 5000=14 6250=15 7500=16 9000=17 10500=18 12250=19 14000=20 16000=21 18000=22 20250=23 22500=24 25000=25 Mini crests Some tips for crest hunting: -If a crest is behind a gate, pick it up with Wingardium Leviosa, throw it to break it, pick it back up and move it outside the gate, then use Reparo to fix it. -If the crest is up on a wall, find a nearby object to use Wingardium Leviosa on and throw it at the object(may take a couple tries in some cases). -If the crest is inside a branch, tree, or spider web, use Incendio on it so it catches fire, and continue to slowly move the right thumbstick up and down to burn the branch/tree away. -Some of the crests can only be hit down if you have Crest Collector 4 unlocked, as this sets up Dungbomb prank boxes around the school and grounds. If you see a crest that has no objects nearby, chances are there will be a box there -Again, some others can only be hit down once you unlock Crest Collector 7, which unlocks Exploding Cauldron prank boxes around the school Astronomy Tower: -Above the door leading to the spiralling staircase near the lion statue -Behind a gate at the back of the library area -Up and to the left of the exit -Lion statue Boathouse: -On the stairs between the Entrance Courtyard and the Boathouse -Above the door at the bottom of the long staircase -On the backside of the Boathouse, between the staircase and the long path to the Paved Courtyard, high up(thanks to || JaSoN ||) Path From Boathouse and Paved Courtyard: -Sitting on the left side of the path in some grass -Inside a box of fireworks on the left -On the right wall behind a tree, there is a boulder on the ground just to the left Charms: -On one of the desks near the window -On the opposite side of the room, on the wall Clock Tower: -On the back side of the pendulum -On the very top floor of the Clock Tower, sitting above the gears of the clock, where the beams form a "T" -On the very top floor of the clock tower, near one of the staircases -Down the hallway at the top of the tower, above the door just before the statue -Lion statue Clock Tower Courtyard: -Inside a box of fireworks in the center -Laying on the ground in the corner, broken...if you are looking away from the entrance to the school, it's the right corner of the courtyard, under a tree -In an alcove to the left of the entrance to the Clock Tower -Behind a tree to the left of the Covered Bridge Gryffindor Common Room: -Above the fireplace -In the boy's dormitory, between two of the beds -On the wall right next to the entrance to the boy's dormitory Covered Bridge: -Right in the middle of the bridge Entrance Courtyard: -On the left side of the entrance to the castle -On the right side of the entrance to the castle -On the side opposite Dumbledore's office, broken on the ground, inside the walkway -On a ledge just at the top of the stairs leading to the boathouse -Inside a tree on a wall near the entrance to the Paved Courtyard -Lion statue Entrance Dungeon: -Enter the Entrance Dungeon from the Grand Staircase, and turn around, you'll see it right next to the door you just entered through Floor 1: -In the room next to the Stone Bridge, above the door heading toward the Grand Staircase Floor 3: -There is a statue holding it in the inside curve of the hallway, throw a flower pot at it and grab it with Wingardium Leviosa -Behind a gate next to the exit to the Suspension Bridge Grand Staircase: -At the very bottom, under one of the staircases -Look straight out from the platform near the entrance to the Great Hall and you'll see this one on a platform -On a platform right next to the Library portrait shortcut, up and to the left if you are staring at the shortcut -Stand on the platform where the entrance to Floor 5 is, facing the door.

Dmbledore Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Great job on putting this together. I'm sure this took a lot of time. Thank you. I will definitely be using this when I start to play this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenacious gaz Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 hey, ive collected them all myself just need 3 more, so ill use this to eliminate the search areas should have maxed the game out by tonight then!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
here2infirmary Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I believe the grand total of mini-crests you have to collect to get the last one is around 25,000, though I'm working on confirming that. i'm fairly sure it is. by the time i hit my last crest, i had about 25600 mini-crests.

ll JaSoN ll Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 i think you might be missing one crest that is on the boathouse it is high on the top of the boathouse on the small road connecting the path from the paved courtyard and the long staircase.

I HAZZ3R I Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 just found this one myself, this guide is mising it, you use the nearby boulder to knock it down. also, some of your instructions are a little confusing. you have use the where is list for the locations but for example, when you get taken to the astronomy tower, nick takes you up the tower itself yet your guide includes the room below and the corridor outside. if you could make this guide a little clearer it would be brilliant but in my opinion a little more description is needed. overall a good guide P.S. get the above crest and you only need one more!!!!

BigStickKenobi Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) Hazz3r, i am also missing one too. where is this boulder that you talking about? Edited July 3, 2009 by BigStickKenobi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStickKenobi Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Rianbattle, i was wondering if you could bold or somehow highlight the the last 2 that you find. i have been stuck at 149 crest for a day now, i used your guide to double check, but it looks like we are both still missing the same one. it would just be a little easier to find if you did due to this message board not having a "last edited" viewer. Thanks for the guide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStickKenobi Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 i'm fairly sure it is. by the time i hit my last crest, i had about 25600 mini-crests. I can confirm> 1000=7 1250=8 1500=9 2000=10 2500=11 3000=12 4000=13 5000=14 6250=15 7500=16 9000=17 10500=18 12250=19 14000=20 16000=21 18000=22 20250=23 22500=24 25000=25 Mini crests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I HAZZ3R I Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Hazz3r, i am also missing one too. where is this boulder that you talking about? the person who was above my last post talked about one of the crests that is stuck high on the wall of the boat house nearest the castle. I was merely saying that to get it, you must use a boulder or rock to knock it down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbowski Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Thanks for the list it allowed me to pick up my last 3 I missed. Just 3 more to go (all mini crest ones:( ) I din't see this one mentioned so if it was sorry: Use the portrait shortcut to get to the training grounds. Inside this stairwell are a few windows. Look through the windows and you should see a crest up on a wall. Use the flower pot below to hit the crest. You can also see the crest from the ground level, if you leave the stairwell, round the corner and head up the steps. Turn around and it is one the wall there. I saw this posted on this site in another thread but didn't see it posted here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Knight Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I think this might be the last one: In the Viaduct Hallway it's just above the doorway directly behind the first banner you have to hit, there's a bench a little further into the room you can use to hit it down with. I didn't see this one mentioned so it might be the last one then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStickKenobi Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Thanks High knight, that was the last one and that should definitely get on the Crest walkthrough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rianbattle Posted July 4, 2009 Author Share Posted July 4, 2009 (edited) cool, i'll check it out tonight or in the morning and add it to the guide. thanks to everyone for helping out so far. if you have any suggestions on how to better organize the guide or describe locations better please let me know...i might play back through the game one more time and separate the locations even further into hallways and such EDIT: Unfortunately the one that High Knight mentioned is the first one listed under Viaduct Hallway, the door leading to Transfiguration Courtyard is the one right next to the first banner you have to hit, but if you go through that door, away from the Viaduct, and make a right, the crest right above that door that leads straight to the Transfiguration Courtyard has the last crest above it, don't know how I missed this one Edited July 4, 2009 by rianbattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
