Clagmar Coast can be considered the last location on the map in Hogwarts Legacy. It’s definitely a late-game area since most of its enemies’ level is between 30 and 40, which is the maximum level.

Besides possessing the only Graphorn Den in Hogwarts Legacy, Clagmar Coast also happens to contain five Merlin Trials. It’s crucial that players try to complete as many Trials as possible as it helps increase the capacity for the Gear Inventory in Hogwarts Legacy.

Clagmar Coast Merlin Trials In Hogwarts Legacy

how to solve clagmar coast merlin trial in hogwarts legacy

Players need to discover the area to solve all Clagmar Coast Merlin Trials in Hogwarts Legacy, as the Trial icon won’t appear in an unknown space (a gray area on the map). In addition, Mallowsweet Leaves are essential to activate the Merlin Trials in Hogwarts Legacy.

There are five Trials in Clagmar Coast:

  1. Broken Statue Puzzle
  2. Stone Pillar Puzzle
  3. Orbs Pillars Puzzle
  4. Stone Cube Puzzle
  5. Firefly Puzzle

Merlin Trial #1 - Broken Statue Puzzle

To reach the first Merlin Trial, fast-travel to the South Clagmar Coast Floo Flame and get out of the house. The Trial can be found on the sand across the house’s entrance.

To solve the puzzle in Hogwarts Legacy, use Reparo on three destroyed statues to fix them. The statues’ locations are revealed when players use Revelio. All three of them are mostly found on a lone rock in the middle of the ocean.

Merlin Trial #2 - Stone Pillar Puzzle

Second Merlin Trial is reached by heading east from the first location. Upon activating the Trial using Mallowsweet Leaves in Hogwarts Legacy, use Revelio to search for five pillars and destroy them by casting Confringo.

Some are obvious, like the two beside the Merlin altar, while the other two are found by climbing the slope near the Trial. The last one is located south on a lone island in the sea.

Merlin Trial #3 - Orbs Pillars Puzzle

Merlin Trial #4 - Stone Cube Puzzle

Since the fourth Merlin Trial is quite close to the third, it’s possible to reach it by foot rather than using a mount/Broom. To solve this Trial, Flipendo is essential to rotate the symbol cubes in Hogwarts Legacy. The top cube can be rotated while the bottom can't​​​​​​. The goal of this puzzle is to match the top and bottom cubes' symbol.

Some of the pillars are sadly surrounded by a couple of poachers, so defeat the enemies to solve the Merlin Trial puzzle.

First Cube Puzzle Solution

Approach the mechanism to the north and use Flipendo on the first symbol. To match both the top and the bottom symbols, cast it again on the second symbol.

Second Cube Puzzle Solution

Head east to the second cube puzzle and simply use the same spell on the first and second symbols to match them.

Third Cube Puzzle Solution

Destroy the woods blocking the third statue on the east and hit the top cube twice from side #1. Next, cast it on the second one to complete the puzzle.

Merlin Trial #5 - Firefly Puzzle

Use the Floo Flame and fast-travel to the Clagmar Castle waypoint and summon a flying mount in Hogwarts Legacy or a broom to reach the Merlin Trial faster. Keep flying north to find the Merlin altar underneath a giant tree on a small hill. Players must find the lost fireflies and return them to the Moonstone pillars in Hogwarts Legacy.

  • One swarm is found west.
  • One can be found east, next to some wooden boxes.
  • The last swarm can be seen north.

As the pillars are on higher ground than the fireflies, use Depulso on the nearby mechanism and activate the lift to get up without losing the fireflies.

Hogwarts Legacy is available now on PS5, Xbox Series S/X, and PC. PS4, Xbox One, and Switch versions are currently in development.
