Room of Requirement guide
The Room of Requirement unlocks during the main quest The Room of Requirement in Act 1. It's your base of operations — crafting, gear upgrades, beast care, plant cultivation.
Workstations explained
- Potion Station — brew potions from herb ingredients. Required for some quests.
- Plant Pot (Small/Medium/Large) — grow Mandrakes, Mallowsweet, Venomous Tentacula, Chinese Chomping Cabbage.
- Workbench — apply Traits to gear. Each Trait adds a passive effect.
- Loom — upgrade gear levels using Beast resources (fur, feathers, horn).
Vivariums — the beast sanctuary
Vivariums unlock during The Elf, the Nab-Sack and the Loom main quest. There are 4 vivariums unlocked across postgame:
- Forest Vivarium (default) — first one, mossy biome.
- Coastal Vivarium — beachy, rocky cliffs.
- Hogsmeade Valley Vivarium — meadows and grasses.
- Forbidden Forest Vivarium — dark, eerie.
Use the Nab-Sack to capture beasts in the open world, then release them in vivariums. Care for them (feed, brush) to harvest trait materials for the Loom.
Beasts that matter
- Phoenix — exclusive postgame, late-quest unlock. Required for the Phoenix Rising trophy.
- Diricawl — fast beast resources for early-game gear upgrades.
- Graphorn — required for one main quest, mountable as a special steed.
Tips
- Plant Mandrakes immediately — they're the best combat plant (stuns groups).
- Pull Chinese Chomping Cabbages from your inventory mid-fight — they melt enemies.
- Trait crafting + Loom upgrades stack — Tier 6+ gear is necessary for Lvl 30+ enemies.
If stuck: if a vivarium isn't accepting a beast, the species is wrong for that biome. Check the in-game beast info — each beast has a preferred environment.
