If you want to beat this boss, you will first need to complete the preceding objectives in the ‘Minding Your Own Business’ quest. Next, you should know the spells Accio and Wingardium Leviosa, because this boss is tricky and will apparate/teleport frequently throughout the fight. Lastly, make sure to practice fighting a few trolls first, because Cassandra Mason likes to throw rocks — magically, of course.

To beat this witch in Hogwarts Legacy, you will want to trap her using Accio or Wingardium Leviosa as soon as possible. This will prevent her from teleporting away, and keep her locked in place for you to attack further. Use Basic Casts while she is immobilized to whittle away at her hitpoints. Additionally, make sure to deflect the rocks she tries to launch at you, and throw some right back at her if possible. You will need to have unlocked the Ancient Magic Throw for this unique move. Good luck in your fight, and stay wary of any attacks Cassandra Mason throws your way!
