How to Complete Absconder Encounter in Hogwarts Legacy

Before you begin the quest, you will want to make sure that you are at least Level 32 and that you have already completed the Tomes and Tribulations Main Quest.

Talk with Edgar Adley

You can find Edgar Adley at his shop in Aranshire. When you speak with him, he will ask you to bring back his friend’s heirloom from the Absconder’s cave for his daughter, who just lost a father. He will tell you where to find the giant acromantula’s cave and send you on your way.

Find the Absconder’s Cave

You can find the Absconder’s cave within the Forbidden Forest, marked by an objective waypoint. In order to enter the cave, you will have to cast Incendio or another fire spell in order to get rid of the spider webs blocking your path.

Defeat the Absconder

When you travel into the cave, it won’t be long before you encounter the massive acromantula. In order to enter the area where it is, you will have to cast a fire spell to get rid of more spider webs in your way.

Once you’re inside, defeating the Absconder isn’t too bad as long as you are close to the quest level. Be sure to dodge attacks as much as you can and use your stronger spells on it any chance you get.

Find the Heirloom Milo Left Behind

After you’ve defeated the Absconder, you can search through the cave to find a small area blocked by spider webs. Use a fire spell to get past the webs and collect the heirloom from the ground in front of the chest.

Return the Heirloom to Edgar

Return to Aranshire, speak to Edgar Adley once more and return the heirloom to him.

This will complete the quest.
