Check in with Deek

You can do this quest after reaching at least level 15 - Hogwarts Legacy: The Elf, The Nab-Sack, and the Loom - Main quests - Hogwarts Legacy Guide

You can do this quest after reaching at least level 15. Open the Hogwarts map and return to the Room of Requirement. A conversation with Deek will automatically start here.

Talk to Deek again to go hunting.

Follow Deek

Follow Deek to the first animal lair - Hogwarts Legacy: The Elf, The Nab-Sack, and the Loom - Main quests - Hogwarts Legacy Guide

Follow Deek to the first animal lair. Deek will give you a Nab-Sack. This item activates identically to spells - you need to open the spell menu and place the Nab-Sack in 1 of the 4 slots. You activate it with R2/RT and the button to which you assigned the Nab-Sack.

Rescue a Puffskein

The first animal to catch is a Puffskein - Hogwarts Legacy: The Elf, The Nab-Sack, and the Loom - Main quests - Hogwarts Legacy Guide

The first animal to catch is a Puffskein. These creatures will start moving away when you approach them, but they are not very fast.

Activate the Nab-Sack while near a beast.You also have to press the interaction button at the right moment (the picture above). Then you will catch a Puffskein. You can also optionally catch a few more animals (they are stored in the inventory - it has a limited capacity for caught animals) or return to Deek right away.

Rescue a Jobberknoll

Jobberknoll is a small bird - another specimen to catch. Get near their lair.

Catching a bird is more difficult because it can fly away quickly - Hogwarts Legacy: The Elf, The Nab-Sack, and the Loom - Main quests - Hogwarts Legacy Guide

Catching a bird is more difficult because it can fly away quickly. The solution to the problem is the Levioso spell (example in the picture above). After the bird starts levitating, use the Nab-Sack on it, but you have to press the interaction button twice. You can stop at catching 1 specimen or try to catch another.

Rescue a Mooncalf

Mooncalf is a small creature with huge eyes - Hogwarts Legacy: The Elf, The Nab-Sack, and the Loom - Main quests - Hogwarts Legacy Guide

Mooncalf is a small creature with huge eyes. You will learn that they only appear at night, so bring up the map and select the Wait option (press the right analog stick).

This is similar to bird hunting - stop the creature with Levioso and then use the Nab-Sack. You have to correctly press the interaction button 3 times to catch the creature.

Return to the Room of Requirement

Talk to Deek and go back to the Room of Requirement - Hogwarts Legacy: The Elf, The Nab-Sack, and the Loom - Main quests - Hogwarts Legacy Guide

Talk to Deek and go back to the Room of Requirement. You will learn about unlocking the Vivarium - an area where captured animals are kept. It will appear in the Room of Requirement - you can enter it.

Release rescued beasts into the vivarium

Press the animal management menu button (R1/RB) - Hogwarts Legacy: The Elf, The Nab-Sack, and the Loom - Main quests - Hogwarts Legacy Guide

Press the animal management menu button (R1/RB). The vivarium can currently accommodate a maximum of 12 animals. Choose at least 1 specimen from each of the 3 species you hunted in this quest (you can also release more).

Collect feather & furs

You will learn that you can take care of captured animals - Hogwarts Legacy: The Elf, The Nab-Sack, and the Loom - Main quests - Hogwarts Legacy Guide

You will learn that you can take care of captured animals:

  1. Select the Beast Grooming Brush and Beast Feed from the spell menu. You must use both of these gadgets on a given animal to satisfy its needs.
  2. A happy animal will give you a unique crafting ingredient.

You can obtain:

  1. Jobberknoll Feather;
  2. Puffskein Fur;
  3. Mooncalf Fur.

You will receive the first ingredients as part of the quest. However, you will have to wait for the next ones (e.g. 25 minutes). This means that you can't get a lot of crafting materials very quickly.

Talk to Deek and leave the vivarium.

Conjure an Enchanted Loom

You must use the Conjuring Spell - Hogwarts Legacy: The Elf, The Nab-Sack, and the Loom - Main quests - Hogwarts Legacy Guide

You must use the Conjuring Spell. Go to the Utility tab and select the Enchanted Loom.

Placing this object requires 8 Moonstones (as a reminder, use the Evanesco spell on objects or look for blue crystals in the game world).

Upgrade an item of clothing

The Enchanted Loom has 2 different uses - you will learn both in this quest - Hogwarts Legacy: The Elf, The Nab-Sack, and the Loom - Main quests - Hogwarts Legacy Guide

The Enchanted Loom has 2 different uses - you will learn both in this quest.

Upgrading a weapon can increase its stats. Select any of your items of clothing and then the Upgrade Gear option. You will need crafting ingredients received from your pets. In the example in the picture, we spent 3 feathers to buy an upgrade.

The second use is granting items Traits - Hogwarts Legacy: The Elf, The Nab-Sack, and the Loom - Main quests - Hogwarts Legacy Guide

The second use is granting items Traits. Select any item of clothing and go to the View Traits menu. Select a Trait for which you have the ingredients - in the example in the picture, it used 1 fur.
