Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets


[FAQ's]

Hints & Tips

Easy Wizard Cards
Proceed to the Burrow and Diagon Alley. Search for chests there for Wizard Cards.

Proceed to the fourth floor. Then look under every bookshelf. You should notice there is no wall under one of them. The path will lead to three treasure chests, revealing Wizard And Witches Cards.

Proceed  toNeville's games, especially Broom Racing, to obtain Wizard Cards. Note: You will have to pay Beans to participate in Broom Racing and Gnome Tossing, Gnome Dunking is free.

In Ron's barn at the beginning is a card on top of the rafters. To retrieve it, you need to climb the chicken coop outside.

Easy Bertie Blotts Every Flavor Beans
When you exit of the Gryffindor Tower take notice the object in the corner. Hit it with Flipendo and three Beans will then appear. Go around the corner and walk at least three steps away. Go back and cast Flipendo again to get three more Beans. Repeat this to get as many Beans as you want.

Proceed to seventh floor. Go to the jar by the picture. Shoot the jar three times. Either one or three beans should appear; or a pie. Walk as if you are leaving and go to the moose head. Then go back to the jar and shoot to get more beans. Repeat this as many times as you like.

Use the Nimbus 2000 Broomstick and fly above Hogwarts. Then fly through the rings to get free Beans. A blue ring gives 10 Beans, a yellow ring gives 1 Bean, a red ring gives 3 Beans and a green ring gives 2 Beans.

At the beginning at Ron's house is a tool chest in their barn. Every time it moves on its own means that you can shoot it with Flapendo to get more beans.

Easy Beans
When you do go outside of Hogwart's, proceed to the tree where you walk through a long hallway and Flapendo it to get as many Beans as you want.

Nimbus 2000 Broomstick
On the second day of school, go to the Quidditch practice. Finish the training with a "B" or higher rank to receive the Nimbus 2000 flying broomstick. You can now fly anywhere around the school during the day.
Note: You can only land on grass and no flying inside the school.

Easy house points
In the Chamber Of Secrets, destroy the paintings on the wall. You will open the painting and obtain 100 points for Gryffindor.

After returning from the Whomping Willow, head deep to your right when Professor Snape finishes scolding you. There, in a corner, you will locate your first Notice Board Item. You can return it to the Notice Board before or after you go to the Restroom Shop the Weasley's set up, earning you the first 10 points in the game, and just maybe a Wizards Card.

Easy Sickles
Once you have collected your Standard Book of Spells (Grade 2) in Diagon Alley, you can cast Flipendo to break barrels and uncover Sickles that you can use to purchase items such as Stink Pellets at Gambol and Japes.

In Diagon Alley, there are three areas where you can break the barrels (using Flipendo) to obtain Sickles. Remember to revisit these areas many times for more Sickles. They return three to four times after you visit a few shops.

Bertie Botts Bean Bag (200 Bean capacity)
Gather every item for the students around Hogwarts (not the Notice Board). You have to find the people. The last person will give you a key to the confiscated items room. In there are six Wizards cards and the largest Bertie Bots Bean Bag.

Sneaking around at night
When you are sneaking around at night, you need to get by the prefects. When you need to pass by them, just crawl under the bookcase to the left of the portrait that leads to the Griffondore common room. It leads through a secret passage that will take you to the fourth floor.

When sneaking around and you do not want to walk slowly, you can use diffent objects and spells to distract the prefects. Stink Pellets are not too reliable, but the non-explodable luminous balloons work well. As for spells goes try Flapendo.

Easy duel win
First thing is to use Expellmarias until the orange ball is giant. When it is in the air heading for your opponent, use Diffindo before it hits so they cannot move away in time.
Note: This may not work all the time.

When you are dueling, press L, cast the Knockaback Jinx twice and dodge the reflected spell. This will not work on Gargoyles, but is useful against Draco Malfoy in Defense Against The Dark Arts or Slytherins.

Use Expelarmus (the shield) to repel the attack. Immediately after that, start charging Flipendo. Shoot flipendo either when it is full or when the repeled attack is halfway there, whichever happens first. This will either cause the Flipendo to hit or the deflected attack to hit. Note: Hold the aim sight to lock the Flipendo spell on the enemy.

Bertie Botts Bean Bag (100 Bean capacity)
Use the Skurge spell on a chest covered in ectoplasm behind a tapestry (you must have the scissors spell) on the third floor, by the Defense against the Black Arts classroom.

Deduct points from Slytherin
When Hermione changes you into Goyle, go out at night and try to br caught by the Prefects. When you do, Slytherin will receive 5 house points deducted. You may repeat this process a few times, but after awhile this will stop.

Expelliarmus Challenge
Use your spell that cuts down tapestries and ropes on the spiked ball. Walk up close to the edge and hold your trigger button, charge up for a half second and cast.
Note: If you throw the imps into the fiery pits, they will die and you do not have to worry about them. Likewise, if you throw them all away you cannot put them into the cages to get out but when all are gone, they respawn from that hatch in the wall at the first ramp.

Avoiding ghosts
When you do not want to be hit by ghosts and lose your items (Balloons, Beans, and sometimes Stink Pellets) just stand on the ledge until the specter comes close to you. Tap the
Analog-stick so that you will fall and catch the ledge. When you are hanging, they cannot hit you and make your items to go flying.

A second way to avoid the ghosts and keep from losing your gotten items is to use Lumos. Hold Down to maximize the spell. The ghosts will not hit you when the light is on. Sometimes this takes careful timing because you are trying to search and collect items at the same time.

Escape Uppergraders
When you are going to be caught by an Uppergrader and he uses the Locomotomortis spell, use the shield spell to stop it and run. If done properly, he will say "Did any one see him?".

Escaping the Slytherins
When you are in the Slytherin common room and need leave, hide behind the pillar on the right side and wait for the girl to go by. Next, go into the room on your left and stay behind the door. The girl will return and look around. She will not see you. After she walks away, run and jump to avoid being captured. As soon as you leave the room, go to your left. Once there, start running to the door so as not to be captured. This may take a few tries, as there are many people waiting by the door. Run very quickly instead of creeping there the Slytherins do not catch on very fast that you are there.

Beating the Basilisk
Grab the sword, but do not try to hit it when you get the first opportunity. When the basilisk gets really tall and green appears from its mouth, use the sword on the black diamond on his chest while he is up. To do this, make sure you lock on then attack. Continue to do this and he will be beaten soon. Note: Only attack him while his head is way above the ground.

You can use either Flipendo or Incendio (suggested). Let it get fully powered, aim at its scales (not its head) and release the button. After five to ten hits, you should beat it. Also, do not touch the snake or let it touch you. If you do, you will be poisoned. Just watch out it will get mad and "stomp" to make the stalactites fall. After losing a third of its health, it will start to shoot poison out of its mouth.

Beating the Giant Mother Spider
To arrive at it, use your Lumos spell to light the floor and follow the trail of spiders. Unlike the book, the spiders that are not the normal size will try to kill you. Just attack them with Incendio. When fighting the Giant Mother Spider, do not try to harm the spider itself. Instead, use your Incendio spell to burn the web it has attached to the various trees. When done, it will fall into the pit and you will slip in after it. In here, just run around until it rears its head and exposes its soft under-belly. It is the only part that is susceptible to second level magic.
Note: It is best to not charge and use rapid firing to get a little more damage.

Professor Flitwick's Incedio Challenge
Once you obtain the Incedio Spell, go back to the main room and make sure the two pillars are down. Go into one of them and switch the flame direction so that the flames are both are on one side of the room. On the other side, use Incedio to light the pigs and Flapendo to point them up to lift the platform; then again on the other one. Run swiftly to the switch by the exit. If you succeed the door will be unlocked halfway. You will need to do the same with the other side.
Note: You do not have to charge at all this gives you a few extra seconds.

Fighting with Expelliarmus
When in one of the few battles with Hogwart's students (just the Slytherin Gang, all others will leave you alone), let them make the first shot and bounce it back. Just as you do, use your Flapendo with a quarter to half second charge to knock them back, thus trapping them with two spells to knock back, which they can never do.
Note: Beware, just as you finish casting Flapendo (depending on the distance), you will be forced to use your Expelliarmus almost right away.

Transformation spell
After you obtain the spell and go back to the main room, use it to get across the room on the other side of the gargoyle. You will need to use the hardly visible ledges to get across. Hang off the wall ledge to escape nearing ghosts, and push down the slabs to macreateke a bridge. Once this is done, you will have to fight the gargoyle. It is suggested that you get on the right staircase, halfway up. Then, use the spell on the last stone and the door will open.
Beating the Giant Mother Spider 2
While fighting it, you may notice little sacks being dropped and suspended by webbing. Shoot them down with Flapendo and collect health and Bean power ups from Hedwig.

Beating the Giant Spider
To beat the Giant Spider in the Dark Forest, circle around him and cast Rictosempra. He will not shoot any spider webs at you.

Beating the Whomping Willow
When the Whomping Willow starts to pound into the ground, hide in the corner where you came into its lair. The shock wave cannot reach you in here, unless you stray too far from it. Should you be hit, you should have refilled your potion Vile before you went in. Also, Hedwig will drop Cauldron Cakes and Beans for your aid.
Note: Rapid firing technique is suggested. Lock on to the limbs after they finish pounding and fire a fast shot, then wait to lock onto the Willow's Eye. Then, fire continually until it stops hurting him before running back to your hiding hole.

Forbidden Forest spiders
The spiders in the forest and there actions are below.

Tiny Black: Show you the path
Big Green: Jumpers (jump, run away, and jump again)
Big Red: Flingers (they spit)
Big White: Flingers (spit paralyzing venom)
Big Multicolor: Possible Jumper/Flinger mix.

Greenhouse: Wizards Card
After talking to Fred and George, go to the right of the greenhouse and cast Alohomora on the hedge separating it from the wall. Follow the passage to a courtyard. Cast Alohomora on the statues to obtain the Card.

Personal Requests and Notice Board
The Notice Board in the Gryffondor common room normally gives a location, but higher up as you near completion they start to give unclear clues, such as "Could be anywhere on grounds". With personal requests, they do not really give you a clue, except the first one. However, the items are near the area in about a two acre area.

Finding Lost Items
When in doubt, check Hagrid's Hut. Many of the lost items end up here.

Lost Newspaper Article
Search the left side of Hagrid's Hut. Note: "Left" being if you were looking from his front door towards the castle (the side next to the Herbology Center).

Telescope
Located on the tower where you enter to go in the main entryway. It is on the far left.

Lost Wizards Hat
Located in a small patch of trees towards the Quiddich Court.

Neville's Crockery
Can be located close to the Flying Court and Hagrid's Hut. Up on a roof will be a multitude of his china set. Go roughly a fifteen to twenty five second flying trip from Neville (heading back).

3 Roots Needed
Search the left side of Hagrid's Hut, by the Herbology Center. From there, they all scatter (much like Neville's china set) behind Hagrid's Hut towards the Forbidden Forest. The person that wants these will give you the key to the Confiscated Items Room (six more cards and a bag to hold 200 Bertie Bott's Every Flavored Beans).

Lost Badge
Located
on the Broom Flying Field, towards Hagrid's Hut and the Whomping Willow (still inside the Flying Court).

Secretive Dragon Scale Gloves
These elusive gloves are by the lake, not on land. They can be located just outside the Broom Flying lessons field, on the lakeside. You will notice a long strip is down low. On the far end are five torches (light with Incendio to get a Wizards Card), and in the center somewhere should be the gloves.
