Auralock Camp
|
Overview
About fifty years ago, Captain Clarence Conrad, the previous leader of the Auralocks, was looking for somewhere in the Dark Forest to set up a secret camp during the First Wizarding War. He wanted somewhere with easy access to the ocean for fish. Additionally, Captain Conrad wanted the location close enough to civilization so they could get materials, but also far enough to stay hidden. Eventually, a few Ministry cartographers reported the perfect spot to set up a camp west of Hogsworth. Clarence Conrad was suspicious but trusted their story after using veracitonic on them. A group of nine Auralocks, led by Clarence Conrad, went on a dangerous journey by broom from London to Hogsworth. There, Headmaster Wippet allowed them to hide and rest in the Room of Refuge for a few days. They then continued the trek to the camp’s location, losing one member on the way. On the evening of August 3rd, after four months of searching for a location, the group arrived at the new Auralock Base Camp. They set up tents the next day.
The Auralock Camp can be found on the Potterworld map, west of Hogsworth and north of Haggleton in the Dark Forest. Players can get to the Auralock Camp for the first time by travelling to Haggleton, Level 65, and following the west path from the village. The path can be hard to follow because of the many forks it has.
Geography & Environment
The Auralock Camp is on two connected, naturally forming clearings of land that sit next to the sea. There is a cliff southeast of the camp and mountains east of it. In the Dark Forest near the camp, thickets of Nocen’s Bliss can be found. Nocen’s Bliss is a valuable healing herb. Despite the ocean west of the camp, the climate is dry. No snow falls over it, making the area warm.

Creatures and Plants
Following the south-facing path from the Auralock Camp will lead players to the closest creature to the camp, the Hippogriffs. The Hippogriffs, Level 67, are neutral mobs and will not attack you unless attacked first. Not many other creatures surround the camp. The Arachtellas, Level 20, can be found southeast of the Auralock Camp, around 500 blocks away. Finally, the Manticores, Level 69, can be found southwest of the camp, around 1,500 blocks away.
One type of herbology node can be found near the Auralock Camp. The plant that can be found is Puffing Pod Lvl. 60.
Hidden Chests
There are a few hidden chests in the Auralock Camp, the other camps in the Dark Forest, and Haggleton. These chests tend to be tiers 1 or 2. The loot found in the chests includes mob drops from Level 61-70 mobs, Level 61-70 gear pieces, and rarely, broom recipes. To find the chests, players would want to look for any blocks that can be removed or traversed through with spells. Looking in tents, or the areas directly around the camp or town, are also ways to find the hidden chests.
