This Hogwarts Legacy guide explains how to solve the southern South Hogwarts Region Merlin Trial.
After months of waiting, Hogwarts Legacy has arrived on PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC. The game is proving to be a massive hit with Potter fans as they eagerly get stuck into life at the legendary school.
In Hogwarts Legacy, players join the eponymous school as a fifth-year student in the 1890s. The game takes place a whole century before the Harry Potter novels and films. And this allows it to tell its own story about “a dangerous journey to uncover a hidden truth of the wizarding world.”
Hogwarts Legacy is an immersive RPG that allows players to experience life as a real student. You can create your own witch or wizard, pick your own wand, and even choose one of Hogwarts’ four houses.
Once you’ve settled into the mythical school of witchcraft and wizardry, you are free to explore, attend classes, learn spells, and discover everything the Wizarding World has to offer.
Critics and fans have given the game a great reception. It offers many puzzles to solve, challenges to complete, and enemies to defeat.
Hogwarts Legacy has several different types of puzzles, including the mysterious ‘Merlin Trials’.
The Merlin Trials were created by the legendary wizard who was himself a student at Hogwarts.
All the trials can be found outside in the area around the school. One of them is located in the South Hogwarts Region just outside the southern Hogwarts entrance.

Each Merlin Trial begins in the same way: finding a spiral plate embedded in the ground.
After using Mallowsweet to activate the trial, you can start to solve it.
However, each trial requires a different solution. The southern South Hogwarts Region Merlin Trial features a large ball which must be rolled into a hole.
This is how to solve the southern South Hogwarts Region Merlin Trial. After activating the trial, look south west. You will see a large ball. Use Accio to pull the ball down the hill and into the hole on the river bank. Just before it reaches the bottom of the hill, use Accio again to guide it into the hole.
This can be a little tricky and the ball may become stuck. If this happens, load an auto-save and try again.
