Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Crest Locations Introduction On Hogwarts, there are a total of 150 crests to collect. 25 of those you get by collecting mini-crests. You need a total of 25000 mini crests. You can get these crests by casting Depulso on glowing objects. The other 125 crests are hidden on Hogwarts and for you to find. I am trying my best to describe the locations. There are several ways to collect crests: # Some are lying on the ground. Just walk over them. # Some are out of reach but visible. Cast Wingardium Leviosa. # Some are on a plateau on the wall or are hold by a statue. Cast Wingardium Leviosa on a nearby object, like a bench or flowerpot, and knock them of there position. # Some lay broken on the floor. Cast Reparo. # Some are stuck in or behind a plant. Cast Incendio to set them free. # Some are behind a gate. Cast Depulso to break them. Then Wingardium Leviosa to get them through the gate. Then Reparo to fix them. # Some are behind a spider web. Cast Incendio on the web and Wingardium Leviosa on the crest. There are also lion statues who are holding a crest. You have to complete a sort of mini quest to set it free. This can be a duel or making a potion. There are 10 of these lion statues to find. There are also specific banners hanging from the ceiling. You have to hit these banners, a couple on a row, to release the crest. There are 5 of these banner runs. Then there are firework boxes. Set them of with Incedio to release the crest. Then cast Reparo to fix it. There are 5 firework boxes to find.
