The Essential Defence Against the Dark Arts Challenge

The Essential Defence Against the Dark Arts is a book written by Arsenius Jigger. In this book, students will learn how to defend themselves against all aspects of the Dark Arts, including dark creatures, curses, hexes and jinxes, and duelling.

 

You will not need to defend yourself against any of these in order to find this cache. However, you will need to counter the dark.


To complete this challenge, you need to find:

  • 20 caches with the Flashlight Required attribute

The container is NOT at the posted coordinates.  You may visit and sign the log at any time.   If you do not yet qualify, you may add a “Write Note”, however you may only log a “Found It” if the checker below gives you the green tick, indicating that you have qualified. 

There is no need to attach an evidence list of qualifying caches, nor wait for CO confirmation; if the checker gives you a green tick indicating you have qualified, you are welcome to log your find. The CO can independently verify whether success criteria have been met. You must sign the physical log. You may do this before qualifying, but may only log online as found once all elements are satisfied

There is no restriction on found date or location of qualifying caches. Check to see if you qualify for this challenge using the link below.

This challenge complies with the 2016 Challenge Cache Guidelines, which can be found here.
