Players navigating through the side quests of Hogwarts Legacy often find themselves deciphering cryptic treasure maps scattered across the Scottish Highlands. During the quest titled The Tale of Rowland Oakes, players receive a hand-drawn map that lacks explicit quest markers, leaving many wondering where it leads. Understanding the visual clues drawn on this map is essential for locating the captured wizard and completing his rescue mission.
Finding Rowland Oakes Map at the Campsite
The journey begins when Adelaide Oakes requests help finding her uncle, a trader who missing while conducting business with goblins. Following the initial quest marker leads players to Rowland's abandoned campsite in the North Hogwarts Region, which is now overrun by Ranrok's Loyalists. After clearing out the hostiles, players can inspect the site to recover Rowland's hand-drawn map.
This map displays key geographic features, including a river path, distinct rock formations, and a ruined fortress marked with a red cross. Rather than giving an exact coordinate, it asks players to read the terrain features along the western riverbank. Recognizing these environmental landmarks allows players to track down the exact hideout where Rowland is imprisoned.
Tracing the Route to Korrow Ruins
Rowland's map ultimately leads directly to Korrow Ruins, a goblin-controlled outpost located far to the west of Hogwarts. Players can follow the river southwest from the campsite on foot or fly on a broomstick toward the edge of the world map. Along the way, players will spot the landmark rock structures and crooked trees depicted on the parchment.
Upon reaching the western edge of the region, players will encounter a heavily guarded castle fortress. This settlement serves as the main base for the goblins involved in Rowland's capture. Players must prepare for combat before entering the ruins, as strong forces of Loyalist warriors guard the entrance.
Rescuing Rowland Oakes inside the Outpost
Once inside Korrow Ruins, players must navigate through underground corridors to reach the dungeon area where Rowland is locked in a cell. Speaking to him reveals that his wand was confiscated and hidden deeper within the stronghold. Unlocking the massive metal door requires solving a minor puzzle by igniting the boiler furnace with a fire spell like Incendio or Confringo.
After defeating the goblin boss inside the inner chamber, players can retrieve Rowland's wand from a side desk and return it to him. Handing back the wand frees Rowland and successfully concludes the questline. Following Rowland's map not only advances Adelaide's storyline but also rewards players with valuable gear appearances and experience points.
