How to Complete the Venomous Valour Side Quest in Hogwarts Legacy

Let’s start out with the first task.
Speak to Duncan Hobbhouse
You can find Duncan Hobbhouse in the location pictured above, on the ground floor of the Defense Against the Dark Arts Tower, within the Astronomy Wing.
Find and Enter the Hidden Herbology Corridor
If you follow the marker for the Side Quest’s current step, it will take you to the Hogwarts Grounds. Once you approach the doorway pictured above, you will need to cast your Incendio Spell in order to open the door.
Obtain Proof for Duncan
Once you’ve made it through the door, you’ll have to make your way down the Corridor until you come across a plot of Devil’s Snare. If you remember anything from the first Harry Potter book ro move, you’ll remember Hermione letting Harry know that Devil’s Snare hates the sunlight in order to save Ron before casting Lumous to release him from the plat’s deadly grasp. At this point, Cast your Lumos Spell like Hermione in order to keep the Devil’s Snare at bay while you travel farther into the Corridor.
Once you come to the wide open area, you will have to look to your left to find the Proof for Duncan. While you are in here, look to the opposite side of the room from where the Proof is. There will be a chest covered in debris. Using your basic attack, destroy the debris in order to open the chest containing Legendary Gloves.
Collect Giant Venomous Tentacula Leaf
For this step of the Side Quest, you need to color the corridor down to the Quest Marker and simply interact with the leaf when you approach it.
Return to Duncan
Once you head back to Duncan and speak with him, the quest will be complete and you will be able to collect Cosmetic items and 180 XP.
