How to unlock Merlin Trials in Hogwarts Legacy

In order to unlock the first Merlin Trial, you’ll need to complete the Trials of Merlin quest.

You can start the quest by speaking to a witch named Nora Treadwell, who appears after you meet Natty in the story near Lower Hogsfield.

Nora will explain the basic concept to you, after which it’s up to the player to find and solve the different kinds of Merlin Trial challenges in the game world.

As you progress through the Merlin Trials quest, you’ll start to recognize what the puzzle wants from you as soon as you find the Merlin Trial.

While there are dozens and dozens of different Merlin Trials, there are generally only a few solutions to the puzzles. These include destroying pillars, a platforming challenge, rolling a large boulder down a hill and moving small objects into large dishes.


All Merlin Trials Reward- Hogwarts Legacy

For completing every Merlin Trial in Hogwarts Legacy you’ll be given the largest possible inventory.

You’ll also earn a trophy: Merlin’s Beard.


All Merlin Trials Reward- Can you retry a trial?

  • Yes, if you fail a trial, simply leave the area and then use the “wait” feature. This will reset the trial for you.
