Hogwarts Legacy incentivizes you to explore the open world, catch magical beasts and solve puzzles. The title contains a variety of missions that will test your puzzle-solving skills, like the Solved by the Bell side quest. To start this mission, you must find a musical note diagram in Henrietta's Hideaway.
This diagram points to Clagmar Castle. In the western section of this castle, you will find nine bells resembling the ones in the diagram. If you hit the bells in the right sequence, you will hear a familiar tune and conclude the quest.
Hogwarts Legacy Solved by the Bell side quest guide
Objective: Find a musical note diagram and solve the bell puzzle at Clagmar Castle.
Quest description: You will stumble upon a diagram in Henrietta's Hideaway. It depicts some musical notes etched beside nine bells and a location. You must head to Clagmar Castle to find the bells and figure out the mystery behind the diagram.
Rewards: Treasure-Seeker's Longcoat, 180 experience (XP), and 400 Galleons.
Obtaining this diagram requires three spells: Incendio, Glacius, and Arresto Momentum. Feel free to refer to this guide to complete all assignments and learn the spells, then travel to Henrietta's Hideaway. As soon as you enter this dungeon, you will find a cube on one of the slots on the floor.
You will also notice a statue to your left; casting Incendio on the pedestal rotates the statue, revealing another cube. You can either cast Wingardium Leviosa or Accio to pick up the cube and place it in the empty slot on the floor. The cube on the left will glow yellow, and the one on the right will shine blue.
Their colors hint at using Incendio on the left cube and Glacius on the right. As a result, the door opens to an area populated with Ashwinder enemies. Defeat them all and take the stairs to the left. You will come across a magical wall that will obstruct your path; cast Arresto Momentum to disable its magic and proceed to the next area.
You will encounter more enemies; follow the quest marker to enter a secret room upon defeating them. Locate the musical note diagram on the table and head to Clagmar Castle to investigate further.
Solving the bell puzzle
The castle is populated with enemies, so a battle is inevitable. Defeat them all, then find the bells in the western section of the castle. There will be nine bells in total, and the diagram doesn't indicate the ringing sequence. Cast a basic spell using the R2 button (on PS5) to ring them in the order depicted in the image below:
After ringing the bells in the correct sequence, you will hear the Harry Potter theme chime. After that, a chest will pop up to your left, rewarding you with Treasure-Seeker's Longcoat and 400 Galleons. This concludes the Solved by the Bell side mission in Hogwarts Legacy.
