Most Regions in Hogwarts Legacy offer five Merlin Trials for players to explore in their journey, but Marunweem Lake only possesses four. Each one can be found in a specific area near certain Floo Flames. It’s vital to complete Merlin Trials as it helps increase players’ Gear capacity.

Marunweem Lake is considered a mid-game area since it’s filled with tough enemies that can cause serious damage in Hogwarts Legacy. Some Merlin Trials are surrounded by these enemies and players can’t proceed unless all the enemies are taken care of, which is why protagonists shouldn’t rush the exploration of this Region.

Marunweem Lake Merlin Trials In Hogwarts Legacy

Solving all Merlin Trials in Hogwarts Legacy requires a couple of spells that players can learn by completing certain Professor's Assignments in Hogwarts Legacy. Additionally, Mallowsweet Leaves are the key to activating the Trials.

There are four Merlin Trials in this area, all in form of different puzzles:

1. Firefly Puzzle
2. Platform Bridge Puzzle
3. Stone Sphere Puzzle
4. Stone Cube Puzzle

Merlin Trial #1 - Firefly Puzzle

Teleport to Marunweem Ruins Floo Flame and keep climbing the slope to the south until an entrance appears. Enter the old building and climb the stairs to find the Merlin Trial.

Several fireflies will appear and players need to guide them using Lumos to the Moonstone pillars in Hogwarts Legacy. There are three pillars in total and players can cast Revelio to find them more quickly.

Merlin Trial #2 - Platform Bridge Puzzle

Fast travel to Marunweem Floo Flame and head west to find the Trial near the docks. Interact with it and throw some Mallowsweet Leaves in Hogwarts Legacy to activate the Trial.

To complete the second Merlin Trial, players need to jump on all the platforms without falling into the water. Once players reach the fifth platform, destroy the barrel in the water as there’s a hidden platform underneath. After that, jump to the final platform to finish the Merlin Trial.

Merlin Trial #3 - Stone Sphere Puzzle

Go to the Marunweem Lake waypoint to reach the third Merlin Trial. Upon arriving, get out of the house and summon a Broom or a mount in Hogwarts Legacy and fly east.

To solve this Trial, players need to guide a sphere back to its place, but it's locked behind a gate. It only opens by casting Depulso on the mechanism in Hogwarts Legacy. Next, approach the sphere and use the same spell to push it out of the building.

Here, there are two options:

• Keep using Depulso until the sphere is forcefully pushed to its place.
• Cast Wingardium Leviosa to levitate the sphere and place it gently in its place.

Both methods work, so players can choose based on the available spells.

Merlin Trial #4 - Stone Cube Puzzle

For the final Trial, fast travel to the Coastal Mine Floo Flame and fly southeast to find it near a Thestral Den. Flipendo is essential for this puzzle, so make sure to equip it in the spell wheel.

First Cube Puzzle Solution

Run to the northern pillar and hit the top cube twice from this side. Then, hit the second symbol once to match the upper and lower symbols.

Second Cube Puzzle Solution

Go to the marked symbol cube and cast Flipendo twice from this side and then once on the second one.

Third Cube Puzzle Solution

Climb the stairs to the south to reach the final pillar. To solve the puzzle in Hogwarts Legacy, cast Flipendo on the first symbol once and then also once on the second top cube.

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