Hogwarts Legacy Poached Egg: How To Get Past The Dragon

February 16, 2023

Hogwarts Legacy Poached Egg is the second relationship quest as part of Poppy Sweeting’s questline, in which you’ll focus on returning the dragon egg.

During Poached Egg Quest, you’ll constantly be attacked with fireballs by the dragon, who doesn’t know your intentions.

So, you’ll have to get past the dragon to get to her nest, which can be a bit difficult without a proper strategy.

Therefore, in the following guide, we will explain how to get past the dragon and where to find the dragon’s nest to complete Poached Egg in Hogwarts Legacy.

How To Unlock Poached Egg Quest In Hogwarts Legacy

To unlock the Poached Egg Quest, you’ll have to finish Poppy’s first relationship quest, called A Dragon Debrief Quest, which is just a conversation with her in Three Broomsticks.

Also, you’ll have to progress the main story until you’ve completed Fire And Vice Main Quest, where you found the egg and released the dragon.

Then, Poppy will send you an owl, letting you know where to return the egg, and you should meet her in Hogsmeade’s town circle.

You can see the exact location on the map below.

At the end of the cutscene, you’ll be sitting behind some ruins with the dragon spitting fireballs at you.

To get closer to her nest, you’ll have to get past the dragon using the blocks of ruins along the way.

Be patient, and don’t rush toward the quest marker if you feel that you don’t have the time.

After you pass the first section, there will be a second section where you’ll have to do the same thing.

But this time around, the dragon will shoot three consecutive fireballs, so you’ll have to watch out for them.

Run toward the next ruin after it shoots the third fireball, and keep repeating until you reach the quest marker.

Unfortunately, you’ll have to go through one more section with the dragon shooting fireballs, one at a time, at shorter intervals.

Use the same strategy as the first time, and always get cover to the closest ruin or stone block until you get past the dragon.
