The Tale of Rowland Oakes quest in Hogwarts Legacy offers players an engaging mystery filled with goblin outposts, hidden treasure maps, and tactical combat. Assisting Adelaide Oakes in tracking down her uncle requires keen observation and careful exploration across the highlands. Following daily gaming news can help players stay updated on useful quest walkthroughs and strategy guides for open-world RPGs.
Starting the Quest and Locating the Camp
To begin the quest, players must talk to Adelaide Oakes in the Transfiguration Courtyard after reaching the required story milestone. She expresses concern over her uncle's trade deals with Ranrok's loyalists and directs you to his last known campsite. Head to the southern region near the North Hogwarts Outlet area to find the abandoned camp overrun by goblins.
After defeating the enemies at the campsite, investigate the area thoroughly to gather clues about Rowland's whereabouts. Search near the wooden crates on the ground to pick up Rowland Oakes' Map along with his journal. Reading the journal gives context to his trade negotiations, while the hand-drawn map provides visual markers leading to his rescue location.
Deciphering Rowland Oakes' Map Location
The map provided in the camp displays a distinctive landmark featuring a river, a ruined fortress, and a red arrow pointing toward Korrow Ruins. Players must trace the path along the river Southwest from the initial campsite to reach this goblin-infested stronghold. Mark the Korrow Ruins on your world map to navigate directly to the entrance without getting lost.
Upon arriving at the ruins, clear out the defensive perimeter established by the goblins guarding the courtyard. Enter the interior dungeon where Rowland is being held captive deep within the lower chambers. You will need to clear multiple rooms of enemies before you can safely speak with him through his cell door.
Retrieving the Wand and Rescuing Rowland
Interacting with Rowland behind the locked door reveals that he cannot escape without his wand. Head deeper into the facility, ascending to the upper level of the main hall where a massive furnace door blocks your path. Use Incendio or Confringo to light the boiler engine, opening the heavy metal door leading to the main office.
Defeat the elite goblin enemies inside the office area and retrieve Rowland's wand from the table. Return the wand to Rowland Oakes at his cell door to unlock it and complete the rescue. Finishing this quest rewards players with valuable experience points, gear, and the Hand-Made Appearance item for customization.
