Starting The Quest: Harlow’s Last Stand
We already doubt Harlow’s intentions and are waiting for a lead. Your friend Natty might have a lead on Harlow as she sends you an owl to meet her near Manor Cape. We will have to go to the point near Manor Cape to talk to Natty to start the quest. To go to Manor Cape, we must travel to Bainsburgh first. Follow the following steps:
- Open the map.
- Fast Travel to BainsBurgh.

- The quest will start once you are done talking to Natty.

Finding Harlow’s Location
We have to go to Manor Cape with Natty after the quest starts. There we will have to confront some enemies before we will finally get to see Harlow. Follow the steps written below to get through this without any hardships:
- Run with Natty towards Manor Cape.
- Once you reach the entrance, look around to see if you can spot Harlow.
- Wait for a while and set up all your potions and spells that you are going to use to fight off suspected enemies.
- Prepare in advance as you are about to see some dark wizards pop up. The dark wizards won’t be alone as soon, Ashwinders will also come aboard.
- Lock on the targets and use spells like Glacious, Expelliarmus, and Confringo to get rid of them. Using these spells will quickly deplete their health.
- Defeat all the Ashwinders and the Dark Wizards at Manor Cape.
Defeating Harlow
Harlow will pop up out of nowhere after you have defeated all of the Dark Wizards and Ashwinders. You need to set up a strategy in your mind before you start fighting Harlow. Follow the steps written below to see what spells will do more damage and keep you safe against Harlow:
- Harlow’s attack pattern only consists of 2 spells, i.e., Expulso and Reducto.
- Expulso is a blockable attack which means that you can save yourself by blocking the attack.
- Get out of the way when Harlow shouts Expulso, and that will shock him as that was unexpected to him.
- Now you will have enough time to attack him before he tries to do that to you again.
- Harlow can also disappear and reappear in different locations in the area. Keep damaging Harlow.
- Harlow will also try to shatter your confidence with insults and try to take advantage of you but don’t take his words seriously and keep attacking.
- Keep us with the defense and attacking, and you’ll get his health at the midpoint.
- More Ashwinders and enemies will pop up once Harlow’s health gets halfway. You don’t have to worry too much as Natty is also there to fight beside you.
- After managing to get his health near the end. Harlow will get scared and confront you in a duel.

Finishing The Quest: Harlow’s Last Stand
But we are not done yet! Harlow will then stand up in agony and anger, not accepting his defeat. He will use his wand one last time to attack you, but Natty will transform into a deer and save you from the attack. But that concludes with her taking all the damage for you. The quest finishes when you visit Natty, where she is getting taken care and talk to her about the whereabouts of Harlow.
We find out that Harlow is being sent to the prison in Azkaban, and Hogwarts is safe for now. Furthermore, Natty talks about how this friendship means a lot to her and that it was her instinct to save us from Harlow’s attack.
