How to solve Door Puzzles in Hogwarts Legacy

This guide shows how to open the doors with creature symbols around them in the Hogwarts Legacy game, which released on 10th February 2023. You will find Collection Chests behind these doors. Inside these chests, you will find clothing items.

While walking around Hogwarts, you will come across locked doors with creature symbols around them. To open these doors, you will have to solve simple arithmetic equations. Each creature around the door represents numbers 0 to 9 as shown in the picture below. You will get this clue from a sheet as shown in the second picture below.

Getting close to the door will reveal a riddle, which is basically two very simple mathematics equations. In these equations, one variable is represented with a question mark (?), and the other variable is represented with two question marks (??) as shown in the picture below. The number at the center of the triangle is the sum of the numbers on the three corners of the triangle. Solve the equation to get the variables (? & ??). Near the doors, you will find two tablets with ‘?’ & ‘??’ on them. Interact with these tablets and change the symbol to the appropriate magical creature corresponding to the value of the variable (? & ??). Changing the tablets to the correct symbols unlocks the door. An example of how to solve these puzzles is shown below in the article.

Top Equation
7 + Magical Creature (9) + ? = 24
? = 8

Bottom Equation
11 + Magical Creature (0) + ?? = 14
?? = 3

Find the tablet with ‘?’ on it nearby the door. Interact with the tablet and change the symbol to the magical creature corresponding to the number 8 as shown in the picture below.

Find the tablet with ‘??’ on it nearby the door. Interact with the tablet and change the symbol to the magical creature corresponding to the number 3 as shown in the picture below. This will unlock the door. Go inside to open the chest and get clothing items.
