To solve the Clock Tower puzzle in Hogwarts Legacy, players must unlock four doors. Unlocking the doors requires freezing the Clock’s Pendulum on the correct door symbol. The Pendulum swings back and forth among four symbols that belong to the locked doors in the Clock Tower, which are:

  • Unicorn Symbol: First-floor door.
  • Owl Symbol: Second-floor door.
  • Two Dragons Symbol: Third-floor door.
  • Scarab Symbol: Fourth-floor door

Each door offers the following rewards:

  • Unicorn door: Decoration Chest.
  • Owl door: Chest with eyes in Hogwarts Legacy.
  • Two Dragons door: Decoration Chest and Wand Handle Chest.
  • Scarab door: Legendary Gear Chest.

Learning the Glacius or Arresto Momentum Spell is vital to freezing or holding the Clock’s Pendulum in its place. Furthermore, the Alohomora Spell is essential to unlocking the locked Clock Tower door in the Crossed Wand Dueling Club. The mentioned Spells could be acquired after completing these quests in Hogwarts Legacy:

  • Madam Kogawa's assignment 1 (Glacius Spell).
  • Madam Kogawa's assignment 2 (Arresto Momentum Spell).
  • The Caretaker's Lunar Lament (Alohomora Spell).

As a reward for completing Madam Kogawa's assignments, she teaches the protagonist the first two Spells, while Gladwin Moon teaches the third Spell. The Alohomora Spell could be upgraded two times after collecting Demiguise statues and returning them to Gladwin Moon.

How To Unlock The Clock Tower

To unlock the Clock Tower in Hogwarts Legacy, players must complete The Caretaker's Lunar Lament quest. The quest is triggered after interacting with Gladwin Moon, who has located several Demiguise statues around Hogwarts. The caretaker is terrified of their existence and thinks he is being pranked by some students.

Afterward, Gladwin Moon teaches players the Alohomora Spell, so they can access the Hospital Wing. Locating the Demiguise statues and delivering them back to the caretaker ends the first part of the quest and gives players access to the Clock Tower. Alternatively, players can unlock the Crossed Wand Dueling Club locked doors with the Alohomora Spell in Hogwarts Legacy to gain access to the Tower.

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