Treasure Vaults are known to be extremely simple in Hogwarts Valley. Regions like the Forbidden Forest and Hogsmeade Valley contain mostly simple vaults that either involve enchanted cubes or pulling levers.
Poidsear Coast, however, has a couple of tricky Treasure Vaults that require some basic knowledge of chess in Hogwarts Legacy. That’s because players will have to move chess pieces to their correct position to checkmate. The following guide will list all possible puzzles found in the Poidsear Coast Region and how to solve them.
Poidsear Coast Treasure Vaults And How To Open Them In Hogwarts Legacy
Players can explore seven Treasure Vaults in the Poidsear Coast Region.
Treasure Vault #1
Fast travel to the Poidsear Castle Floo Flame and head southwest to find the first vault. The entrance is at the base of the mountain wide open. Luckily, there’s no puzzle inside so immediately open the treasure chest.
Treasure Vault #2
Since the second Treasure Vault is also southwest of the Poidsear Castle waypoint, simply keep heading in the same direction from the previous vault. When a mountain appears, circle around it and turn northeast to see the vault’s entrance.
To open it, an enchanted cube is required. The object is found west, locked in a cage guarded by a group of Poachers in Hogwarts Legacy. Sadly, it’s a level III lock so Alohomora III is vital. Once protagonists guide the cube to its platform using Accio or Wingardium Leviosa, cast a fire spell to open the vault.
Treasure Vault #3
The third treasure vault is found in the western part of the Poidsear Coast Region, which makes it easily accessible by flying east from the previous vault location.
Defeat the Poacher guarding the entrance and unlock the door by casting Alohomora II. Take care of the Inferi inside and approach the wall next to the room’s entrance to claim the treasure.
Treasure Vault #4
The fourth vault is reached by heading east from the Phoenix Mountain Cave Floo Flame. To open the gate, use Depulso multiple times on one of the two mechanisms then slow it down using Arresto Momentum. Cast Depulso repeatedly on the second one and enter the vault.
Next, it’s important to know that there are three solutions to this chess puzzle in Hogwarts Legacy.
Chess Puzzle Solution 1 - Knight
- Turn northeast to find a white chair.
- Use the Transformation spell to transfigure it into a Knight.
- Levitate it using Wingardium Leviosa.
- Move it to F6.
Chess Puzzle Solution 2 - Bishop
- Turn southwest to find a vase.
- Transfigure it to a Bishop.
- Move the chess piece to A4.
Chess Puzzle Solution 3 - Rook
- Turn east to find a cauldron.
- Use Transformation to make it a Rook chess piece.
- Cast the levitation spell Wingardium Leviosa and move it to A8.
Treasure Vault #5
Teleport back to the Phoenix Mountain Cave, but this time, go southwest. Defeat the Loyalists guarding the door and open it using Alohomora I. Luckily, it doesn’t require collecting any Demiguise Statues to learn this spell in Hogwarts Legacy. To get the chest, keep following the swirling leaves until they transform into a chest.
Treasure Vault #6
The sixth Treasure Vault is southwest of the Phoenix Mountain Cave Floo Flame in Hogwarts Legacy. Once players reach the top of the mountain where the vault is, turn northeast to find the entrance. Unlocking the vault’s door requires Alohomora III.
Treasure Vault #7
The final vault is in proximity to the previous one, so it’s possible to keep going southwest to locate the Treasure Vault at the base of the mountain. To find the enchanted cube, head southeast to see a couple of Poachers. Defeat the enemies and lift the coffin’s lid to release the enchanted cube. Guide it back to the entrance and use Glacius in Hogwarts Legacy to open the vault.
Once inside, keep using Depulso on the mechanism to move the pile of rocks to the other side of the room, transforming it into a platform to reach the upper room.
Hogwarts Legacy is available now on PS5, Xbox Series S/X, and PC. PS4, Xbox One, and Switch versions are currently in development.
