_Nosferatu_ Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Thanks everyone, I got it on my first try by using Fang. :-))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunhamSmash Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 If, when using Fang, you still have trouble getting it, just activate the second controller for the character who isn't the dog. The Dementors will focus on the still-standing 2nd player giving you even more time to run ahead with Fang. In combination, it's hard not to get it at that point. Cheers.

booster17 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Activating the second controller character halfway down the corridor worked marvels for me. The Dementors all clustered around him, and let me get the crest fairly easily using Fang. Cheers for the tip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was having issues with this and I really have no idea why. It shouldn't have been this hard. Anyway, thanks for this, I was about to throw my controller through the window after doing this 10+ tries. And I actually used a ghost. I'm not sure if they're faster than Fang, but it worked for me.

Joeykat Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Took me a few tries to get this. But after reading the thread I got the gist of what worked for most people. For me I switched to the 2nd character because whoever they are they start to run immediately, and then I legged it down the corridor and went behind the statue and got the collectible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrenteusMaximus Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 My gf and i did it in 2 player. I ran faster than her and got it... I think i slowed her down by shooting her with spells as i ran haha. Glad i got it though since I was sick of watching her play that same stupid level over and over.

E vee dub Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) I can see how this could be tough & annoying. This video shows where & how to get that last crest piece behind the statue while running from Dementors. Use Fang, and run immediately behind the statue when you arrive there. The video shows the crest piece at the 1:57 mark.

I used Fang, stuck to the left but half way thru pressed start on the 2nd controller as the Dementors definitely took a liking to player 2, giving me the chance to get that crest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drulenarendes Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I never had a problem getting this crest. Got it my first try. But the Gryffindor crest in A Veiled Threat gave me a migraine. I had to restart that level so many times before I finally nabbed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXAKill3rTacoXx Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 have the second player be fang and when the chase scene starts switch to the dog. instead of waiting to go to the back of the statue start right when you see it and go around it by doing this you will get the crest piece. it took me 7 tries the normal way and then i tried using this way and got it first try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrenteusMaximus Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I got it in my playthru using the idle 2nd player trick. Didn't want the grief my gf and the other posters in this thread ran into Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewie0one Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 If you have a second controller join game, you can just leave it standing, then run to statue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenutman69321 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I read this thread long before trying for this piece so I was expecting a lot of frustration. I see no problem at all with this one. Easily did it the first try. I ran into at least 2 other walls or statues before I got to it as well since I was hugging the left wall but not knowing exactly where it was. Seems like there's plenty of time to get it to me especially if you aren't losing time running into other things like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whomajigi Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Too lazy to check and see if someone else suggested this, but turn on the other controller for this section. You'll have enough time to duck behind the statue while the other player holds off the dementors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhisperMagellan Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) Lego Harry Potter 2, Magic is Might. OK, I've played this stupid level over a dozen times. I a F***ing pissed off! How much? I created this account on this board just to yell and vent frustration. I was hoping to find a solution. So far, Tried the ideas here, and no luck. I get to the statue I've tried spells. I've tried running behind the statue. I've tried going in front of the statue. I've tried using the Fricking dog (yeah, who'd have thought of that? that's just one of 2 highly illogical puzzle solutions) I keep getting killed, by something I cannot see, then bounced forward past the point where I can do anything. I've tried looking for the solution onlinge (obviously, or I wouldn't be here). They all say where the crest is (duh, I spotted it the first time), but none of them say how to get it. The batman Ice slide wasn't nearly this bad. At least there if you ran the thing twice, hit 3 one time and the other 2 the next, it gave credit for all 5. This is even worse than the stupid Indiana Jones mine escape or tunnel collapse. I mean seriously, this is way past the point where it can be considered fun. Now it is just a chore. Hopefully there will be a patch soon that fixes this problem. And it is a problem. Edited June 11, 2012 by WhisperMagellan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhisperMagellan Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 (edited) So, Finally managed to collect that piece. Solution to the problem was not just to use the dog character, who runs faster, but to turn on the second player, which 1: slowed down the pursuing dementors 2: changed my camera angle so that I could actually SEE. So, finished the game. Only had to play that level 34 times. Only other problem in this game that really annoyed me was the "Get Dumbledore to drink before the hordes descend on him and carry him away." Silly me: I was using logic and thinking that the Patronus White spell would be the one for warding off hordes of undead. Needless to say, it didn't work. Neither did the invisibility cloak. Go figure--the hordes have blindsight. Never occurred to me that the "explode stuff" spells (either Orange or Red) would have any effect. This puts the game into the "Don't bother playing this again for at least a year" category. Hopefully there will be nothing this obnoxiously F***ed up in Batman 2 or LotR.

shinobigarth Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) i just failed on this on my first go. the annoying part is not the Dementors chasing you, its the fact you have to do the ENTIRE level over again to get another shot, including the stupid duels and boss fight. think ill try WhisperMagellan's idea now and try to get this crap out of the way. EDIT: got it, using a 2nd player and the dog. it goes slower with 2 and the dog outruns it no problem giving plenty of time.

Steelhead Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Tried this one about a half-dozen times earlier today and failed every time. Went back with the tips from this thread and got it on my first run. Activating the second controller made a huge difference. Thanks to everyone who posted about it as it definitely helped me.

Skittish425 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 The Ghosts and Fenrir also move much faster than the regular characters. Of you forget to pick Fang or don't have him yet, any of those should work as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thabassmon Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 i hate this level it is the only thing (the green crest) that is stoping from completeing the game I have tried the fang method but I must suck and yes I agree it does remind me of the lego batman ice slide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/size][/font] Haha, someone doesn't know the actual book, or even movie series very well. The patronus technically should only work on dementors, so of course it doesn't work. Dementors are not undead, however much they look like it. But yes, the inferi, they are the undead, so they see whatever the fuck they want. But they are weak to fire, and, well explosions generally have a bit of fire involved, and well, they are explosions. So they do work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
