- Permissions and credits
Introduction
This is a fix for official bug number HL-851 aka the infamous game-breaking "Helm of Urtkot / Lodgok Bug". This is a BETA TEST version of the mod - it has worked for everyone so far but I can't guarantee that it will work for everyone. Please try it and let me know if it works. Thank you.

I am delighted to report that this humble mod took 4th place in Mod Of The Month for June 2023! Thank you to everyone who voted! 😁
Installation & Use
1a) Remove everything from the Steam\steamapps\common\Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Content\Paks\~mods\ folder. Just put it all in another folder for now, but NOT the Steam\steamapps\common\Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Content\Paks\ folder, NOR any sub-folder of that. A folder on your desktop might be best.
1b) If the ~mods folder doesn't exist, create it.
2) Manually download this mod and extract the PAK file from the ZIP file.
3) Move the PAK file to: Steam\steamapps\common\Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Content\Paks\~mods\
4) Start the Hogwarts Legacy game and load your most recent save file.
5) Bring up your gear screen and check your health. If it ends with an "8" the mod has loaded okay. If it ends in any other number, the mod hasn't loaded. Go back and check steps 1-3 above.
6) Once the mod is correctly installed, IMMEDIATELY go to meet Lodgok on the hill behind Hogsmeade. Do not do anything else first! (It's okay to fast-travel.)
7a) If it works 🙂 please hit the ENDORSE button on this mod page, and feel free to leave a comment in the POSTS section.
7b) If not 😭 please submit a BUG REPORT and I'll try again.
When you're done
Once you've followed Lodgok to the Tomb Entrance and completed your conversation with him, you won't need this mod any more (unless you decide to go back to an earlier point in the game for some reason). So just delete the PAK file from Steam\steamapps\common\Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Content\Paks\~mods\ and put all your existing mod files back again.
Conflicts and Game Versions
This mod alters and replaces the game's PhoenixShipData.sqlite SQL database file. If you have any other SQL mods installed they might prevent this one from working correctly. That's why it's safest to just remove all your mods while you run this one. But if you're positive that you don't have any SQL mods you could leave your existing mods in place and just see if this one works. (If your gear screen in-game shows a health number ending in "8" you should be good to go.) Alternatively, if you do have SQL mods, you could attempt to make this one load after those, by changing the name to "zzzzzHelmofUrtkotLodgokBugFix_P.pak". (Again, if your gear screen in-game shows a health number ending in "8" you should be good to go.) I haven't included these options in the instructions above because I wanted to keep things simple, but if you know what you're doing you could give them a try.
This mod also assumes you're running a fully-patched game (up to and including the 04 May 2023 patch). If you're not, give it a try anyway. It will almost certainly still work. But definitely delete it afterwards.
