Falbarton Castle is located east of Hogsmeade on the Hogwarts Legacy map above. The easiest way to travel there is to fast-travel to a Hogsmeade waypoint and then fly the rest of the way there. You'll need to step outside of the boundary of Hogsmeade to use your broom, however. Alternatively, travel to any floo point on the world map and fly the rest of the way to the castle.

If you're following 'The High Keep' quest, Natty will ask you to meet her at Falbarton Castle. Once there, you'll need to find a way inside the keep and let Natty in without alerting Rookwood's men and without using your broomstick.

To get inside, climb on the ledge to the right of the castle doors. On the ledge, there will be a gate to the left and a metal sigil next to it. You'll need to cast Depulso on the sigil to open the gate.

Once the gate is open, cast Wingardium Leviosa on the crate inside to bring it out and lean it close to the battlements. You'll see a change of texture on the rock here which indicates it’s a climbable surface.

Once the crate is resting below the climbing area, cast Levioso on it to however it in mid-air. Now, you can jump on the crate and climb up the ledge whilst it is still hovering.

Now you're on the above rampart you'll need to get into the gatehouse and open the door from within for Natty.

Perform a simple cast on the wooden planks resting outside the building to destroy them. This is your way in but you cannot crawl through the space just yet. You must clear the crate blocking your access.

Walk around the outside of the building until you see a broken window. The window looks into the room and provides the viewpoint needed to move the crate out of the way. To do so, cast Wingarium Leviosa or Accio.

Now, continue through the passage previously barricaded and enter the tower. You'll notice the mechanism to open the gates and another metal sigil.

Cast Depulso on the sigil multiple times, one cast will not be enough to raise the gate. Once this is done, quickly cast Accio on the handle exposed by the lowered wood to lock the gate in place.

Now, to speak to Natty and continue the quest.
