To solve it, you’ll want to remember these clues:

  • Similar to other puzzles of this type, each animal symbol corresponds to a number from zero to nine, going from the bottom-left of the arch to the bottom-right.
  • Interact with the puzzle by pressing the “F” key to see the equation. There are two sets that require unknown symbols (i.e., “?” for the top equation and “??” for the bottom equation).
  • You’ll notice a number in the center of each equation. This represents the sum of the numbers and/or symbols around it.

Given the above, we can solve the Central Hall Door Puzzle in Hogwarts Legacy by doing the following:

  • Top equation (“?”) requires the Spider (8) -> 11 + Elephant (2) + Spider (8) = 21. The plate that you have to roll is just beside the door.
  • Bottom equation (“??”) requires the Hydra (3) -> Headcrab (5) + Killer Bacteria (9) + Hydra (3) = 17. You can walk up the steps to the landing to find the circular plate that you need to roll.

For your efforts, you’ll receive the Small-Framed Painting (Collections) and a rare-quality gear piece. Don’t forget to check out all the other Hogwarts Legacy Animal Symbol Door Puzzles to obtain nifty rewards.
