Find the locations of all of the Merlin Trials in Hogwarts Legacy. Complete the challenges to increase your gear storage space.
In Hogwarts Legacy, you’ll find a ton of gear that’ll quickly fill up your inventory. You’ll have to make many trips to Hogsmeade to clear up some space only for it to fill up again. One way to solve this issue is to complete the Merlin Trials around the Highlands. (Fair warning: There are 95 of them.) Continue reading to find the locations of every Merlin Trial and learn how many you have to complete to max out your inventory space.
After completing the main story quest “Trials of Merlin,” you’ll unlock the ability to start any Merlin Trial around the Highlands as long as you have mallowsweet — a plant you can grow in your Room of Requirement or purchase at Dogwood and Deathcap in Hogsmeade.
When you’re looking at the Hogwarts Legacy map, you may notice multiple leaf icons scattered around the Highlands. These leaf icons indicate that there is a Merlin Trial at the location. Head over to the marked location to find a stone circle on the floor, but make sure you have some mallowsweets to start the trial. There are nine different types of Merlin Trials, with each type requiring specific spells to complete. The trial itself will be in the immediate area, so use Revelio and look for anything highlighted in blue if you’re having a hard time finding out what the challenge is.
Light the three braziers on fire with Confringo or Incendio before they sink into the ground to successfully complete the trial. The pots will have varying heights which indicates how long they will stay lit. Start at the pot furthest from the ground and make your way down to the pot that is closest to the ground.
Destroy all of the stone pillars in the area with Confringo. There is usually a hidden pillar in the area, so make sure to use Revelio to easily spot it.
You’ll see three pillars marked with symbols and a cube on top that is also covered in symbols. You have to use Flipendo to rotate the cube so that the markings on the cube match the markings on the pillar. To easily complete this trial, match the symbol on one side (the orientation doesn’t have to match), then move to an adjacent side of the pillar and use Flipendo until the orientations align.
In this trial, you’ll need to move a big stone ball from its starting position to a bowl-shaped platform. The ball will usually start out at a higher elevation where you can cast Depulso to push it to the platform below you. However, you can easily solve these trials by using Wingardium Leviosa and simply carrying the ball to the platform.
Use Lumos to lure the moths to the stone pillars with moonstones inside them. The moths and pillars can be hard to spot, so use Revelio and search for anything highlighted in blue.
Transfer three piles of stone balls to nearby platforms using Accio or Wingardium Leviosa.
