How To Solve Arithmancy Door Puzzles in Hogwarts Legacy
There are many door puzzles to find around Hogwarts. And they require an understanding of ‘arithmancy’ to solve.
Arithmancy is the study of the magical properties of numbers. As such, opening the special locked doors requires some mathematical problem solving.
At first, they are a complete mystery. However, once you discover the arithmancy ‘cheat sheet’, things become much simpler.
To open the doors, players must find two missing numbers in two separate math puzzles. Each puzzle consists of three numbers or corresponding magical beast symbols that add up to the sum total in the middle.
This is how to solve the Arithmancy Classroom door puzzles in Hogwarts Legacy:
Turn the two dials to match up with the symbols below –
South East Door:
- ? = Owl (4)
- ?? = Star Fish (5)
South West Door:
- ? = Lizard (6)
- ?? = Unicorn (1)
Once you have set both dials to the correct symbol, return to the respective door and it will open.
