How to unlock the Crest Collector 14 achievement

    I made a walkthrough for ALL of the hidden crests.
    Who cares about reading, watching videos is much more fun! =)

    There are 125 hidden crests, but you can also earn 25 crests by collecting mini-crests. (25.000 mini crests for 25 big ones)
    When you see a 'bubble' use Depulso (flick the right joystick 2 times forward) and mini crests will fall out. Walk over them to pick it up.

    So:
    25 Crests by collecting mini-crests
    125 Crests by finding the hidden ones. (10 of those you get after completing a mini-quest near a Lion statue)
    =
    150 Crests = Crest Collector 14 achievement Unlocked

    EDIT: People have been claiming I didn't show every crest. Well that isn't true, and to prove that I made a screenshot of every crest in my video's.

    Put all of those screens in 1 folder, and this is what you get:
    http://dullenl.wordpress.com/2011/04/30/harry-potter-and-the...

    125 screenshots for 125 crests. Hurray, so I DID show all crests! =)

    Now stop bugging me :P

    Update 4-10-2011:
    Fixed the link to the screenshot and added 1 more video (the last one). You will probably not need it, because those 3 crests are almost impossible to miss. But for the sake of having them all on 1 page I decided to post it anyway. Weird I didn't do that sooner.

    The screenshot link goes to my crappy blog. You don't need to click around on it, I'm not trying to promote it. But if I used a link directly to the image it would show in this solution. Nobody wants a huge image here, right?

    Adding to the lion video provided by DulleNL, the people who give the side quest of making a potion for them to receive the crest is in a defined order. The next person will not appear until the person before them is complete. The person will reveal as someone who is standing near the lion statue (not always right next to). The order is:

    1. Clock Tower
    2. Library
    3. Herbology Hallway
    4. Astronomy Tower
    5. Transfiguration Courtyard

    There is only a total of five (5) potions to make.

    rob25XThis helped me get the other 4/5 crests I needed from potion making. Exactly in this order and done in 10 minutes. Great help. Thank you ShutTheCakeHole. +1

    The other solution works well, but remember, you also need to collect 25000 minicrests to get this achievement!

    Before getting this, I recommend you do the hidden crests first, as you can then unlock Crest Collector 13, which allows for mini-crests with every Depulso, which ultimately means a faster achievement.

    The way I got them was to go to the cave between the Quidditch Gates and the Owlery. Start from the Shortcut that leads to the Grand Staircase, go through to the last group of minicrest rings/bubbles (whatever you really want to call them) that are on the stalactites/stalagmites, and cast Depulso on those, from there, progress through the cave back to the shortcut getting the rest of the minicrests (a torch, a single stalagmite, and two groups of stalagmites/stalactites.). Go through the shortcut and come back, repeat. Each run should get you anywhere from 250-800 minicrests depending on how good you are at timing your Depulso.

    See anything I should change/add, just comment and I'll look into it. This is just what worked for me, so it's probably not the best spot out there.

    Thanks to King Will IV for reminding me about timing. For each cast of Depulso, your amount of crests will vary depending on your timing. The best time to cast Depulso is as the bubble is growing, and seems to shine a bit brighter. You will get a LOT more crests and it will save a lot of time if you can get the timing down.

    Whiskey7Ok Right I finally figured it out. For anyone else wondering, to time it for more mini-crests you need to be looking at the object as soon as the green circle appears. Immediately as it appears, it will grow slightly and you need to press Depulso just as it reaches it's biggest size.

    The lanterns from Hogwarts entrance (and around Hagrids hut) are really good to boost on. There are loads of them, and you have a nice clear run to each one so you have plenty of time to get a decent- timed depulso on them.

    I basically ran from Quiditch training ground entrance portrait, (towards the owlery) through the caves, left and down towards the stone circle, then onto Hagrid's hut, and then down to the entrance (follow the lanterns.) When you make you when back up, the lanterns at the top will be ready again. Then go back through the cave, and into the portrait. Repeat.

    When I figured out the timing, I was getting over 1000 mini-crests for each run and levelled up fast.

    Chrisdawgz7Forgot about mentioning that, but yes, when the circle/bubble is at gets big, you will get the most crests, there's really only a short period of timing you can have, so you wont always get the maximum amount of crests.

    FailedSeppukuMy track was from Quidditch Shortcut, up stairs, through cave, down the hill and then across the wooden bridge. All those lights with good timing drop loads, into the clocktower courtyard with the 4 bird statues and into the clocktower, through the 'Dashing Cudduver' shortcut, clockwise up the staircase back to the Quidditch Shortcut.

    started getting 900 in 3 mins, upto 1500 in 3 mins with good timing on the bubbles.
