I haven’t been able to play since I ran out of energy last night but I finally got my executioners. The last TTD I used (#5 or 6 I can’t remember) I got several of them to finish it up. I can’t play again now until I get the chance to go out for more energy because I am not finding any around my house. We really need a potion we can brew that gives some energy for when it’s just too difficult to get out for some.

@HalloMami tire so right, and then they flee! I don't remember Executioners being this prone to fleeing, either. This balance in this game is tipped way too far to sucking up time and resources for very little enjoyment in return now.
A few more events like this and they will manage to drive off a majority of remaining players.
@enTrained I didn’t want to risk the executioners fleeing after having so much trouble finding them so I automatically used an Exstimulo when I did find them.
I can't invest 3 plus hours to wait for executioners.... part of the reason I play is because I can check in during the day for a few min here and there brewing potions, and then play for about an hour in the evening.
@CeruleanGirl I finally got all the Executioners after using up my trace charms on wild spawns and extimulos paired with dawdle draughts to avoid them fleeing.
Now on to task 3, and the brilliant whomping willows, which required TTDs to find in task 1, are all I can find now that I need brilliant werewolves. It really doesn't seem random that you can't find the foundable you need during your current task.
Neither my niece not I have seen a single Buckbeak yet. Now I’m on the bonus (she’s still on task 4), have used 2 TTD’s and still zero Buckbeaks. This is looking good. I know we’ve got days yet to finish, but zero even with TTD does not bode well.
Am I missing something, I'm not seeing any Buckbeak Foundables spawning at all. I've tried using Tonic for Trace Detection potions, but it hasn't worked. I have not seen any at all. Is there another way to get the 10 needed?

With 4 TfTD, I’ve seen 2 Buckbeaks, split both, both gave 1 more Buckbeak, first pair gave 3 fragments, second gave 4. Maybe one spawned at the same time as the first split and I just thought it was part of the split???
*** update ***
just did another TfTD, got a Buckbeak, split it, for 2 more (3 total), all of which gave 2 fragments each.
Niantic, word of advice: you're making this game too difficult for the wrong players; the fanatics will suck up the filter **** and use how ever many TTD's it takes to get the rewards. As a result, casual players become disillusioned by how hard it is to find enjoyment from your game and give up. I'm bow thinking of just giving up as this flustercuck of an event isn't worth my time and energy...
@Yohanes12 can you please not post spoilers for the ending dialogues on this forum so early in the event in the future? Luckily I'm not having the problems others have in this forum finding the various foundables needed but I still won't finish the main event until probably tomorrow and it stinks having it spoiled.
I was out and about several hours today and would often see traces like this. There were very few dark arts traces and most of them were hags. I only managed to find one additional executioner. I think stage 2 is as far as I’m getting this event.

Fun gameplay, staring at the screen for 3+ hours to wait for Executioneers to show up... Yay!

did someone forget to turn on the executioner spawn button? Have seen none today with a few TTD potions and plenty of walking.
It's that time of the month again I guess.
step 2/4.
No Ministry Executioner on first TTD, will most likely get 1 or 2 in the next TTDs, haven't found any of it since the event started.
Did found Buckbeak using the first TTD, but will most likely NOT going to appear when I reached bonus even when using TTD.

Getting way too frustrating.
have also tried accio 'ministry prisoner' to no avail...

@GwendyddWyllt When you do find Buckbeak, use a Trace charm if possible. Both count when you get the extra from the charm.
@GwendyddWyllt: What @CeruleanGirl said, but only use the trace charm on wild spawns as spawns from TfTDs will not give you the duplicate....
Increased ministry executioner? Yeah, NOT. I've been stuck on that task for 2 days now at ZERO. Something's not quite right here...

@CeruleanGirl and @HalloMami Yep, sure will since it’s counting fragments, not foundables. Just need any to spawn before I can take advantage of that.
Agree with many above… executioner is very difficult!

just lovely. I refuse to use a TTD. 1 executioner after a couple days on this stage. I’ve played away from home. Oh well
Look 👀the Whomping Willow is suffering from lycanthropy
@Owlx looks like photo frame was wrong because make a fast BE. (Maybe this photo Whomping Willow will be fix later.)
@Mjwsje @Hew1216 if you want more executioner, you must exploration or else you stuck at part 2/4 forever.

@IVOTETRUMP2020 I was seeing a lot of Buckbeak before I got to the bonus, now they're non-existent. Just finished a TTD and I didn't get any.👎️
After complaining here and did a LOT of walking, managed to get all ministry executioners and now at 4/4.
Apparently complaining here always do the trick.
Will be back to complain again once I've reached bonus stage for the Buckbeack.🤗
@Yohanes12 i thought it was funny they don't need waste time to fix the Whomping Willow sticker for the BE.
Adventure sync needs to be fixed!
Minneapolis and St.Paul have been missing over 4,100 POIs for 9 months. That needs to be fixed.

Whose face is on Sirius' left leg?
Saw the werewolf in the Whomping Willow too!
we are on end part of event days, should all the shackle/restriction be free/remove?
Where oh where are all the Buckbeaks hiding! These can not possible be boosted! I have been looking ALL DAY!
I stopped getting notes and I still need 4. Is this happening to anyone else?
