Players can find Dogweed and Deathcap in the north of Hogsmeade in Hogwarts Legacy. It is a shop that sells various seeds players can use to grow plants.
You’ll need to visit Dogweed and Deathcap to complete Professor Garlick’s first assignment. They sell the necessary seeds to grow Mandrakes and Venomous Tentaculas.
Of course, Dogweed and Deathcap also sell seeds that can help you with the shockingly long list of side quests in Hogwarts Legacy.
Dogweed and Deathcap Hogsmeade Location in Hogwarts Legacy
Dogweed and Deathcap can be found at the northernmost point of Hogsmeade. Players can reach it by fast traveling to the North Hogsmeade Floo Flame in the town square and heading north.
You can set a waypoint to make finding the shop easier by opening the map and selecting it. You’ll find it at the top of the Hogsmeade map.
There is an Eyeball Chest with 500 gold coins inside near the Dogweed and Deathcap shop. So, make sure you know the trick to opening Eyeball Chests in Hogwarts Legacy before finding it.

Here is a full breakdown of how to get to the Dogweed and Deathcap shop in Hogwarts Legacy:
- Fast travel to the North Hogsmeade Floo Flame
- If you haven’t unlocked it, head to the town square where you fought the troll near Honeydukes and Gladrags Wizardwear.
- Head up the stairs next to the North Hogsmeade Floo Flame and cross over the stone bridge.
- Turn left at the end of the bridge and go up the stairs.
- Finally, turn right at the top of the stairs next to the street light and go up those stairs.
- You’ll have reached Dogweed and Deathcap.

While in Hogsmeade, you should also visit The Magic Neep to get Mallowsweet Leaves, as it’ll help you solve every Merlin Trial in Hogwarts Legacy.
How to Complete Professor Garlick’s Assignment 1
To complete Professor Garlick’s Assignment 1, you must use a Mandrake and Venomous Tentacula on a group of enemies.
The easiest way to do this is to buy both of these combat tools from Dogweed and Deathcap in Hogsmeade. However, if it’s too expensive, you can buy their seeds and wait for them to grow.
A Mandrake costs 500 Galleons from Dogweed and Deathcap, and the Venomous Tentacula costs 600 Galleons.
You can find both a Mandrake and a Venomous Tentacula out in the wild, but it will take an incredibly long time as they’re rare combat tools.

Once you’ve bought them, head into a combat encounter and open your combat tool wheel (hold L1/LB). Select either the Mandrake or Venomous Tentacula and then use them against your opponent.
Finally, head back to Hogwarts and attend a Herbology class during the day. As a reward, you will unlock the spell Wingardium Leviosa.
Of course, Professor Garlick’s Assignment 1 is just one of many side quests that you’ll need to complete in order to unlock every spell in Hogwarts Legacy.
