Solved by the Bell involves a challenging musical puzzle in Hogwarts Legacy

Where can players find this puzzle?

The bell puzzle you need to solve to complete the quest can only be accessed after you obtain the Musical Map from a very specific dungeon. To acquire it, simply head to Herietta’s Hideaway at the bottom of the in-game map. The screenshot below can be used for reference:

After obtaining the map and unlocking Solved by the Bell, make your way to Clagmar Castle via the Floo network or broom and then behind the Vault.

Here, you will be ambushed by several level-20-to-30 Ashwinders. You must be well prepared before going into this battle and use your spells wisely.

Once the enemies have been cleared, look around to find a set of nine bells stacked next to each other. Aim and hit them in the following order using your basic cast while referring to the Musical Map:

• Eighth Bell
• Fifth Bell
• Third Bell
• Fourth Bell
• Fifth Bell
• First Bell
• Second Bell
• Fourth Bell

The Musical Map basically tells you in which order the bells should be rung. Hitting them successively — using the bulleted list above — will make the iconic Harry Potter theme play and reveal a chest near you. Loot it to obtain the Treasure Seeker’s Longcoat gear that you can equip via the in-game menu.
