can't get 3rd shield


I'm still in the forest and I don't know how in the world I can get the shield. It's on top of this vine--or something.
How do I get the shield?

the shields that have vines leading up to them you can't get until you get the first task done, get enough shields to open the Prefect's Bathroom, and then get enough shields to open Herbology. in Herbology, you will then get the Herbivicus spell book which will then allow you to get the remaining shields that have vines/lily pads that go to them (btw, in the Prefect's Bathroom, a couple of things: when you first go in, jinx the bathroom doors to get more beans; if you stand just right, you can jinx the dragon statue that you can't get to that's across the bathtub; when you go back into the bathroom challenge, go back into the bathroom to drop an exploding cauldron into the bottom of the bathtub -- there's a shield in there. you also need to be extremely fast when it comes to that vanishing shield. this one is frustrating to no end to get because you have to pull down the bridges, get passed the salamanders, and climb a ledge to get it)

not a problem. you're very welcome. here's more for you on some of the spells:

Ducklifors (4 will get you a Master in this spell) -- Performed on the Skrewts, only. Easier done if you have 2 others playing, but you can get this if you stop the other 2 being controlled by computer to cooperate (easier said than done at times). Get the Skrewt to start spewing the flamable stuff (try to levitate him a few times, then watch him). Then, 2 people need to cast Aquifors at him while he's still trying to burn you up. the 3rd person needs to get behind him and jinx him. you'll see a little rubber ducky after awhile.

In the Prefect's bathroom, across the pond you will see a dragon statue. you can get this even before you get the Herbivicus spell book. harder to do because of the fish statue (jinxes automatically want to go to that), but if you position yourself just right, you can jinx the dragon statue.

cool trick that a friend of mine found out. makes me laugh, anyway. perform Melofors on an Erkling that has an explodable cauldron nearby. once he has a pumpkin head, lift the cauldron and drop next to the Erkling (not too close though). the Erkling's head starts sparking and smoking (don't get too close to him, either. it hurts).

listen to the Erklings, too. go a short ways away and then get near enough to hear "Where'd ya go? Where'd ya go?" If you don't get rid of the Erkings that you've performed Melofors on, no more will replace them.
