Hogwarts Legacy is truly a great open-world experience for many Harry Potter fans, where you can do all sorts of things. At some point, you will get a quest called “Take the Biscuit” where you are supposed to rescue a Mooncalf. A Mooncalf is a cute, big-eyed calf-like creature that most Harry Potter fans know and adore already, and Prima Games will provide you tips on how to rescue this peculiar Mooncalf in Hogwarts Legacy. I mean, it’s cute, why wouldn’t you want to rescue Biscuit immediately?
How to Free Biscuit and Complete “Take the Biscuit” Quest in Hogwarts Legacy
Garnuff (Quest Giver for this Quest) is located in the western part of Hogsmeade. The poacher encampment which you should raid in order to free Biscuit is located near the East North Ford Bog, just slightly to the east. The poachers are not that difficult to beat and you should have little to no problems with them in most difficulties.
Alohomora is the spell you need in order to unlock the Mooncalf cage.

Which One of Them is Biscuit, Anyway?
By looking directly at each of these Mooncalf creatures, you will see the name of the highlighted Mooncalf at the top of the screen. It’s recommended that you use the Disillusionment spell so that you are invisible to them because they can get startled and start running away from you, and then… well… good luck finding which one of them is called Biscuit. In order to capture Biscuit, you need the famous Nab Sack. Levioso is also a spell to consider when trying to catch this Mooncalf, it should be of great assistance to you I hope.

Should I Keep the Biscuit or Return it to Garnuff? Choices Explained
There are two possible endings to this quest. The choice is entirely up to you (yay, player freedoms). If you give Biscuit back to Garnuff, he will be overjoyed, he’ll give you some currency, and he’ll have his faith restored in wizards.
If you decide to keep the Biscuit for yourself, he will be heartbroken and angry with the entire wizard kind. But you get to keep a cute pet!
