How to Solve & Unlock Every Door Puzzle in Hogwarts Legacy

To solve the 12 door puzzles in Hogwarts Legacy, you must figure out what the missing numbers in the triangles on the door are.

Then turn the symbols by each door to the animal that corresponds with the following numbers from the Arithmancy Study Guide.

For example, in the picture below, the bottom triangle has the number 11 in the middle and a 5, 1, and ? surrounding it. Your job is to find out what the final number is in the equation: 5 + 1 + ? = 11.

In this case, the answer would be 5, as 5 + 1 + 5 = 11.

To solve the puzzle, you must therefore change the nearby symbol to the crab-like creature that corresponds with 5 in the Arithmancy Study Guide Page.

Locate a Door Puzzle

• There are 12 door puzzles across Hogwarts. They are near:
  • Divination Classroom Floo Flame
  • Potions Classroom Floo Flame
  • Charms Classroom Floo Flame
  • Ravenclaw Tower Floo Flame
  • Grand Staircase Tower Floo Flame
  • Faculty Tower Floo Flame
  • Transfiguration Classroom Floo Flame

Identify the Missing Numbers

• Look at one of the two triangles on the door and identify the number in the center of it.
  • This is the total you want the numbers surrounding the triangle to add up to.
• Identify the numbers surrounding that triangle.
• The circles with a ? or ?? in them are the missing numbers.
  • The ? and ?? correspond to which symbol next to the door you need to change.

Add up Available Numbers & Subtract From the Total Value

• Add up the numbers that you can see on your chosen triangle.
  • Sometimes one of the numbers is an animal or creature. Look at the Arithmancy Study Guide Page located in your inventory to figure out what number it corresponds to.
• Subtract that total from the number in the middle of the triangle. This is the missing number.
  • For example, if the middle number was 9 and it’s surrounded by a 2 and a 3, the missing number will be 4 (as 4 + 2 + 3 = 9).

Change the Symbols

• Locate either the ? or ?? symbol near the door (depending on which one has replaced the missing number on the triangle you are solving)
  • In some cases, either the ? or the ?? symbol is located far away from the door, so make sure to explore around.
• Change the symbol to the animal that corresponds with the number you have found.
  • Don’t forget to use the Arithmancy Study Guide Page to help you with this.
• Repeat for any additional triangles.

You will need to use the Revelio spell on some of the doors to reveal the puzzle. Fortunately, Revelio is one of the first spells you learn in Hogwarts Legacy.

How to Find the Arithmancy Study Guide Pages in Hogwarts Legacy

There are several Arithmancy Study Guide Pages to be found. They’re all located in chests near the puzzle doors themselves.

However, they all show the same guide to solving these puzzles. The easiest one to find is opposite the door puzzle near the Divination Classroom Floo Flame in the Library Annex.

It’s unclear if locating all of these guide pages and solving these puzzles will affect which of Hogwarts Legacy’s multiple endings you’ll get. So, you’re safer hunting them all down, just in case.

Here is a complete breakdown of how to find the Arithmancy Study Guide Page near the Divination Classroom Floo Flame:

• Go to the Divination Classroom Floo Flame
• Head Across the Wooden Walkway
• Open the Chest

Go to the Divination Classroom Floo Flame

• Travel to the Divination Classroom Floo Flame.
  • It is located in the Library Annex Location. Select it and then mark the Divination Classroom Floo Flame to set a waypoint.
• Turn right at the Floo Flame and head up the stairs.

Head Across the Wooden Walkway

• Cross over the wooden passage until you see a passage on the right.
• Head down that passage, and you’ll find a door puzzle.

Open the Chest

• Opposite the puzzle is a chest.
• Interact with it.
• Inside is the Arithmancy Study Guide Page.

If you need to access the Arithmancy Study Guide Page at any time, simply head into your Inventory and go to Quest Items.
