Mandrakes are helpful plants you can find, buy or grow in Hogwarts Legacy and it only takes a few simple steps.
Every Harry Potter fan will remember the high-pitched shriek of mandrakes, which in Hogwarts Legacy can quickly stun, damage and even kill nearby opponents.
These humanoid plants are a hot commodity, as you can use them not only as weapons, but also to learn new spells from Professor Garlick.
There are a number of ways to get your hands on them, so let’s start with the quickest…
Where can you get mandrakes in Hogwarts Legacy?
First you need to make sure you have a few hundred galleons in your pocket, as mandrakes and their seeds are often quite expensive.
You can buy two mandrakes for 500 galleons each at the Dogweed and Deathcap shop in Hogsmeade, located at the northernmost point of the village.
Alternatively, you can grow your own plants by purchasing mandrake seeds for 800 Galleon.
To plant these seeds, you must go to the Room of Requirement and interact with the herbology station.
You can plant mandrakes in any pot, including the small pot you first acquire in herbalism class.
Once you’ve upgraded to a potting table with large pots, it will only take you 10 minutes to grow one batch of Mandrakes in the small pot.
To get even more mandrakes, you can buy fertilizer from Dogweed and Deathcamp or The Magic Neep for 300 galleons to increase the yield of the plants.
Last but not least, you can also find and uproot mandrake in the northern areas of the Forbidden Forest.
However, if you’re not very confident in your spellcasting skills, you’ll need to be careful of what’s lurking out there, such as trolls and other enemies.
If you’re up for a challenge, kill two birds with one stone and collect some troll bogeys too.
When following the quests in the main story, obtaining and using plants such as mandrakes is often necessary to learn new spells.
For example, for Professor Garlick’s first assignment, acquiring and using Mandrake plants is a prerequisite to unlocking the Wingardium Leviosa spell as a reward.
