Objective: Talk with Edgar Adley
You can find Edgar Adley at his stall in Aranshire's plaza, directly east across the lake from Hogwarts.
Upon talking to him he'll tell you about Milo and how he wanted to get venom from an Acromantula. It seems Milo's body is still in THAT cave with the Absconder. Of course, we'll help him out in getting the heirloom for Milo's daughter.
Objective: Find the Absconder's Cave
Finding the Absconder's cave is pretty easy. We want to start by fast traveling to the North Ford Bog Entrance floo flame and from here go south a little bit towards the marker and you'll find a ravine full of spiders and spiderwebs.
Get on your broom and fly down there. As you approach the marker you'll see that the objective will change completely. We are supposed to run around here killing spiders, but to make your life easier get on your broom and fly northwest and land and land in the ravine right outside the marked area. Once you do proceed into the cave where you'll see a huge tree in the middle.
Objective: Defeat the Absconder
As you come in here go invisible and approach the tree. You'll be greeted by the Absconder, a gigantic spider. I HATE spiders!
Given that we're invisible you can approach it and use Petrificus Totalus to deal quite a bit of damage (around 1/5th) before the fight even starts. Once you do this though, prepare for a fight!
The Absconder has couple of attacks you should look out for. For starters is an unblockable attack. It stands on it's rear legs and it's about to charge at you. As soon as you see the red logo around your character be ready to dodge out of the way. It can also do this several times in a row (with even smaller areas for you to react so keep your fingers on the dodge button. Usually at the end of her charge attacks appears a yellow symbol, which allows you to block the attack and use Stupefy.
Another attack, you'll see it stomping several times. This will make some smaller spiders come out of the ground and join the fight. Very annoying. Make sure to keep an eye on these little critters because they can actually be quite annoying, especially when dealing with the big one.
Objective: Find the heirloom Milo left behind
Once the fight is over it's time to find that heirloom. To find it go to the western side of the area and use revelio. This will mark some eggsacks and a chest.
Burn the spiderweb go in the little cave. Destroy the eggsacks and check in front of the chest and sack to find the heirloom. It's on the ground and almost impossible to spot.
Objective: Return the heirloom to Edgar
And with that fast travel back to Aranshire and talk to Edgar. When you're given the choice to ask for a reward, you can continue on insisting and he'll end up hating you and give you around 300 Gold. That plus the 500 you get as a reward. It's great!
