Hey everyone! Week 2 of the Brilliant Event: Stronger United will start Tuesday, November 19th at 11 AM PST. There will be six Brilliant Foundables you will be looking out for! Here is where to find them:
- Brilliant Encounters: Brilliant Arthur Weasley
- Wizarding Challenge Reward using Brilliant Event Runestone: Hermione and Flying Ministry Memo
- Quest Rewards: Percy Weasley and Constance Pickering
- Brilliant Portkey Rewards: Daily Prophet
If you did not collect enough Brilliant Tonks or Brilliant Mad-Eye Moodie Foundables, don’t worry! They will continue to appear on the map during Week 2! As a reminder, Portkeys collected during Week 1 will always give you Week 1 rewards. Therefore, be sure to collect more Portkeys this week!
We will be receiving another Bonus Assignment after the main tasks are completed! Best of luck :)
Hope this helps you all prepare!

I’m still trying to finish the bonus assignment from week 1 but there are no severe foundables. I’m even in a different city at the moment, still seeing the usual ones.
So we are going to have 2 Challenge rewards instead of 2 encounter rewards? That would mean this event is more geared towards fortress than exploring.
@OmaLaurie Try using dark detectors in Inns. I saw 1 emergency, 2 severe and 3-4 high foundables spawning from a triple dark-detectored inn. So may be that is the trick to spawn those severe foundables.
@OmaLaurie Go hunting for Horned Serpents at dusk. They count as emergency. Good luck!
@OmaLaurie - specifically, you will want to put 3 dark detectors in an inn (and even in each of multiple inns near each other) to draw in severe and emergency traces - look for orange and red plumes on the traces; better if the inn is not either in or near a family flagged nest (because then the DD might draw in severe /emergency trace of predominantly that flagged family, thereby lowering the number of different potential severe/emergency traces to draw from via DD) ... good luck !!
REMINDER: Collect your Week 1 rewards within the next hour before Week 2 begins! The Stronger United Week 1 task list will disappear at 11 AM PST.
@HPWULola - please confirm whether we can play and complete brilliant week 2 WITHOUT updating to HPWU 2.7.0 — don’t want to get locked out while time is ticking away! thanks
Has anyone else experienced the fortresses not producing Hermione with the stronger runestone? I've done 2 that didn't produce anything besides normal challenge prizes
Yup, keep trying!
@NixReese Stronger Runestone? I have only gotten level one Runestones. Are there higher ones?
@CeruleanGirl nope, brilliant events only drop level 1 runestones. Not sure what @NixReese may be referring to, unless they are trying to get Hermione from a regular runestone, which, unfortunately, won't work.
@NixReese - use only the brilliant stronger united runestones (they all are level 1 only), not any other kind, to try to get brilliant hermione / brilliant interdepartmental memos; suggest tower chambers 1 to 3 for brilliant hermione, maybe tower chambers 1 to 5 for brilliant interdepartmental memos
I picked up Hermione in Forest Chamber 2. I tried ruins 3 & tower 4 first.
I already finished the tasks and even with all these challenges to pass I couldn't get any hermione or flying memo, but I am not sure what kind of chamber I went. In the other brilliant events it was random I guess, I got the brilliant things even in the lower chambers. It will be harder this time?😱
I haven’t been able to get any Hermione fragments (or fragments in general) in the fortresses since the gift boxes showed up. Any tips/recommendations?
So it just took me 20+runestones in everything from ruins 3 up to tower 5 to get both Hermione and the memos. Pure luck of the draw I think. None were achieved on the same level. All I can say is best of luck! 🍀🍀🍀
I've had the same experience. I used 25+ Stronger United runestomes in Ruins IV up to Tower IV which is the highest I can solo without using potions. I've gotten all of Hermione but only one Interdepartmental Memo fragment.
More Wizarding to be done tomorrow, clearly!
This brilliant event is for the dogs! Loaded the game this morning with my volume still on high and immediately encountered Arthur Weasley. All of a sudden one of the dogs came tearing through the house and lunged at my phone. It took me a second to realize the rubber duck was causing all the commotion! Now I have three dogs all wound up, because of course I repeated the experiment!! 🤣Love it!
@JuneBUWP 😂😂😂
@JuneBUWP Wow that is so funny!! Have you had your volume on while exploring the Porkey with Umbridge's office? That one will excite your dogs as well! 🐱🐶
@HPWULola I just opened a few after your tip and they went nuts! A tv weekend movie marathon played The Half-Blood Prince a few times and the bird in the vanishing cabinet got them wound up as well!
