In Hogwarts Legacy, you can take on the Follow the Butterflies quest from Clementine Willardsey at The Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade. This quest becomes available after you finish your first potions class and requires you to head to the Forbidden Forest. The objective is simple: head to the bridge inside the forest and follow the butterflies to the treasure location. The reward for completing the initial quest is a Conjuration Spellcraft for the Flower Box item, which can then be used to create and place the obtained decor items in the Room of Requirement.

Witches and wizards can pick up potion recipes in Hogwarts Legacy while on a trip to Hogsmeade and other necessary items such as broomsticks, spellcrafts, and clothing. As they progress through the story, however, you will notice that quest task points begin to show up on their map of the village. One such quest is that of Miss Clementine Willardsey, who can be found inside The Three Broomsticks. She begins by musing about an enchanting horde of butterflies that seems to lead its followers to the location of some treasure within the Forbidden Forest, requesting you to see the task through and return to her with information about your findings.

How to Complete the Follow The Butterflies Quest

To begin the quest, you will need to head over to the Forbidden Forest by setting a destination point on their map. Once inside the forest, the destination point can be followed to a bridge within the woods, where an additional marker will appear on the map as a small butterfly. Reaching this area will trigger the quest, and you must simply follow the butterflies to the treasure location, similar to the Ghost of Our Love quest in Hogwarts Legacy.

You can Fast travel to the Forbidden Forest using the closest Floo Flames point on the map to locate this quest.

Additional Tasks To Complete Follow The Butterflies Quest

Follow the Butterflies Tasks marked on the Map

Following the completion of the initial Follow the Butterflies quest, witches and wizards will have access to additional tasks in which they can follow hordes of butterflies to various locations of treasure. The treasure is always a Conjuration Spellcraft that you have not yet received and can be used to decorate the Room of Requirement. Each task is represented with the same marker used in the initial quest, appearing as small butterfly stamps throughout Hogwarts Legacy's open-world map. As demonstrated by YouTuber 100% Guides, each task can be completed at any time of day or night.
