The Hogwarts Valley Region of Hogwarts Legacy is another large region that includes most of the area to the south of Hogwarts. In this region, players will find the villages of Keenbridge and Brocbarrow. It has a lot of open, explorable areas and is one of the first regions that players visit outside of Hogsmeade and Hogwarts.

Remember that activating each trial will require a Mallowsweet, of which the seeds can be purchased from The Magic Neep in Hogsmeade.

This is a mini stone platform puzzle. Two of the three platforms are within the enemy camp, the remaining platform is just outside. Players will need to use a Force spell, such as Depulso, to open the gate to get the smaller stones from inside the camp, and a burning spell, such as Confringo, to get the stones from inside a small cave on the outside of the camp.

38. Hogwarts Valley #7

This is a type of stone depression puzzle. In this one, there are three platforms with sets of small stones. The small stones will follow each other, so pick one to use Wingardium Leviosa on and the rest will follow. The platforms can be seen with Revelio, and the piles of stones are not too far away from their respective platforms. Look above for two sets, and besides it for the remaining one.

39. Hogwarts Valley #8

There are nine small stones on pillars that need to be blasted for this one. The first six are within view of the activation point. There are a lot of enemies around, so be prepared for a big fight. The remaining three are behind the enemies in the ruins of the castle. If need be, pack some of Hogwarts Legacy's Maxima potions to battle the enemies. One of them has to be revealed by breaking the rocks in front of it. Any spell with Force damage, such as Depulso, will break the stones and remove the rocks.

40. Hogwarts Valley #9

This one is a moth puzzle. Use Lumos to attract the moths to the cubes to light them. The three sets of moths and three cubes are within view or just below the activation point.
