Merlin Trials are small spell-based puzzles in Hogwarts Legacy that grant extra gear inventory slots. These trials consist of 16 puzzles, each requiring specific spells to be solved. There are 85 Merlin Trials to solve in the Hogwarts Valley Region, with 9 variations of puzzles. Some require specific spells and can’t be completed until you have them.
To unlock the trials, use Revelio to look for stone structures like platforms, balls, or pillars and determine which spell you will need to solve the trial. You might also need to fly with your Mallowsweet to activate every Merlin Trial.
Some of the Merlin Trials require specific spells, such as Accio, Confringo, Depulso, Incendio, Lumos, and Reparo. General spells needed to solve all the puzzles include confringo, wingardium leviosa, and flippendo.
Mallowsweet is required to activate every Merlin Trial. For example, lighting braziers requires Incendio or Confringo, while destroying orbs requires Accio or Basic Cast. Standing stones require a Basic R2 / RT spell.
In addition to the Merlin Trials, players can earn additional Gear Inventory Slots by smashing orbs, destroying orb symbols, lighting torches, and repairing statues. In this guide, players learn how to unlock Merlin Trials, earn additional gear inventory slots, and explore the stones in Hogwarts Legacy.

There are way too many merlin trials in this game, especially when you consider that the end reward for collecting all 95, or how ever many there are is pretty lame. You would think that given the fact that they had a unique merlin robe that they locked behind twitch drops, that could have been the end reward for doing all of these.
Nice. At first when i saw the title and thumbnail i thought, dude, there are way more than 9 merlin trials, but then it became clear. I wish i would have had this guide when i started the game, lol. It took me forever to figure out the butterfly one, and i kept trying to use levioso and wingardium leviosa on the flipendo ones.
I got so close to completing one of those magnetic balls trials, and then disaster happened and they rolled down this hill and got trapped inside a vegetable garden when I accio-ed badly. I did try to get it out but this was early enough in the game and I was bad at it. After that I quit all Merlin trials except the blow it up ones which I like. I’d figured out several before I gave up but others I had no clue so appreciate the help in your article! 🙂
3:27 I don’t have a problem with these standing stone pillars, it’s the other ones of those stone pillars you have to jump onto without touching the ground and the jump action often triggers a running action afterwards making it painful and hardly unable to complete. This game has far too many trials and too many issues.
I’m actually stuck on a Fipindo trial atm. problem is there is no way to turn the stones even with levioso or the other one that is supposed to turn the stones. flipindo only works gripping them vertically. I need to also turn them horizontally. it feels like these set of blocks are bugged because no matter what I do they won’t turn so I can successfully finish the trail. At the same time there is a clump of blocks in a cave I can’t properly set the stone to finish the quest either. same reason. stone won’t turn like it should when using wendgardium levioso (spelling)
Don’t know if anyone will answer this but I’ve been trying to figure out the Merlin trial that’s in the southwest of Hogwarts valley between two bandit camps. From what I understand there are two statues you can repair and nothing more I searched around for other statues to repair to no avail please help. Or at least put the timestamp because I can’t find it.
The sheer # of various levitation spells in this game is such a waste & a FAIL. It should have been tap to use Accio/hold to use Levioso, tap to use Depulso/hold to use Descendo & that should have been IT. & they needed way more attack spells. How is there no lightning spell (not a potion or ancient art), how is there no tornado spell, why do you have to upgrade to make anything do group damage when you are constantly attacked on all sides by groups? This game left a lot to be desired.
