Hogwarts Legacy Great Hall Door Puzzle guide

To solve the Great Hall Door Puzzle in Hogwarts Legacy, you’ll want to make your way to the area via the Floo Flames fast travel point (Great Hall tab). When you’re facing the rows of banquet tables, look to your left. There’s a short hallway here, with a puzzle carved on the far wall.

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 Great Hall Puzzle in Hogwarts Legacy by doing the following:

• Top equation (“?”) requires the Spider (8) -> Killer Bacteria (9) + 7 + Spider (8) = 24. The plate is to your left.
• Bottom equation (“??”) requires the Hydra (3) -> Sloth (0) + 11 + Hydra (3) = 14. The plate is to your right.

For your efforts, you’ll receive an item for your Collections tab 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.
