Hogwarts Legacy features a variety of side content for you to immerse yourself in. The title also has puzzle-solving in the form of Merlin Trials. You can partake in these trials upon meeting Nora Treadwell after the quest, The Girl from Uagadou.

These trials are scattered around the open world of Hogwarts Legacy and require Mallowsweet leaves for activation. The Forbidden Forest area comprises three Merlin Trials. Despite being a side activity, you must perform these trials to complete the challenges and earn more gear slots in the process.

Hogwarts Legacy is brimming with content in the form of side missions, exploration activities, and more. You can also participate in Merlin Trials and solve some puzzles to complete them. There are 95 Merlin Trials in Hogwarts Legacy that are all marked on the map once you complete the main mission, Trials of Merlin.

Initiating each trial requires one Mallowsweet leaf, which you can acquire from the Magic Neep store for 100 Galleons.

Alternatively, you can purchase the seeds for 200 Galleons and then use the Potting Table in the Room of Requirement to plant them. You can then pursue any trial of your choice by fast traveling to Floo Flame points in their vicinity.

The trial is situated near Jackdaw’s Tomb Floo Flame point in Hogwarts Legacy. It requires you to ignite three pillars using Confringo in quick succession. Once you cast Confringo on a pillar, it begins to drop back into the ground, so you must be quick.

All three pillars must be lit before they disappear, so it is best to stay as close to the trial starting point as possible and cast Confringo from that position.

You can use the following pointers to locate the pillars easily:
