Adelaide informs the players that her uncle got involved in a dubious deal with the Ranrok’s Loyalists, which convinced her to contact and ask for the player’s help in saving her uncle.
II. Travel to Rowland Oakes’ Campsite
To reach Rowland Oakes’ campsite, travel to Jackdaw’s Tomb Floo Flame and use the Broom in Hogwarts Legacy to fly to the campsite. Here, the players will encounter a bunch of Ranrok’s Loyalists as they have raided the camp. Unfortunately, Rowland won’t be here at this location.
After defeating all the Goblins, use the Revelio spell to discover unknown clues.
You’ll come across Rowland Oakes’ Journal as well as Rowland Oakes’ Map, which shows the location where the shady deal took place.
