We’ve located every Merlin Trial in every region, so you’ll soon have the largest inventory possible
In Hogwarts Legacy, Merlin Trials are one of the many challenges scattered across the map.
There are 95 Merlin Trials in total, 94 of which you’ll have to seek out. You’ll complete your first Merlin Trial early in the game, but following this, you’ll have to travel to every corner of the Hogwarts Legacy map to find them.
Thankfully, we’ve located every Merlin Trial in every region for you below, so you’ll soon have the largest inventory possible, which is the main reward for completing the Merlin Trials, other than the Achievement/ Trophy; Merlin’s Beard.
We have updated this Hogwarts Legacy Merlin Trials guide with some additional info.
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.
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.
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.
If you mess up a Merlin Trial and want to try again, all you have to do is leave the area, and use the game’s “wait” feature in order to skip a few in-game days.
