Hogwarts Legacy is filled with challenging puzzles for you to solve, but they aren't more challenging to crack than the Depulso Puzzle Rooms. These two secret rooms are hidden within Hogwarts Castle and feature complex multi-stage puzzles that involve moving metal blocks using Accio and Depulso. To solve these puzzles and claim useful gear and rare rewards, you must combine your wits with skill in the magical arts. However, the complexity of Depulso Puzzle Room 2 may leave some you frustrated and searching for answers.
To find the Depulso Puzzle Rooms, you must first have completed The Helm of Urtkot main quest and Hogwarts Legacy’s Hall of Herodiana side quest. This involves speaking to Ravenclaw student Sophronia Franklin near the Charms Classroom. Sophronia will chat to you about Herodiana Byrne, a legendary witch who mastered Depulso, and ask you to complete a secret puzzle chamber left behind by Herodiana. After completing the Depulso Puzzles in the Hall of Herodiana, you can then search for Depulso Puzzle Rooms 1 and 2.
Where To Find Depulso Puzzle Room 2
The second Depulso Puzzle Room is located near the Bell Tower Courtyard Floo Flame in the Bell Tower Wing of Hogwarts. You may already be familiar with this area from searching for Hogwarts Legacy’s hidden Field Guide pages and the Bell Tower Wing, which is filled with interesting magical artifacts. After arriving at the Floo Flame, you should turn left, head up one set of stairs, and go through the door ahead.
You will reach the History of Magic classroom with a door with a Level I Alohomora Lock. After picking the lock, you can go through the door to an Ancient Egypt-themed room. On one of the walls on the right, there’s a switch that can be triggered with Depulso, opening the door to Depulso Puzzle Room 2.
Depulso Puzzle Room Basics
Getting into Depulso Puzzle Room 2 requires Alohomora, so you need to have helped Hogwarts caretaker Gladwin Moon find hidden Demiguise Statues in Hogwarts, Hogsmeade, and the Highlands. This is part of The Caretaker’s Lunar Lament, a quest that appears after you have completed the first trial. Luckily, you only need the most basic version of the Unlocking Charm.
In Depulso Puzzle Room 2, you should keep two things in mind. First, a switch can be triggered with Basic Cast to send all blocks back to their starting positions. This can be used for a quick reset if players make the wrong move. Second, players should stay clear of moving blocks, as getting hit results in an inconvenient knockout.
How To Complete The First Set Of Puzzles In Depulso Puzzle Room 2
Assuming you have completed or even skipped one of Hogwarts Legacy’s Alohomora locks to access Depulso Puzzle Room 2, you will find that this puzzle chamber has two rooms. The first requires you to open a chest and then find a way across to reach the second room. The second room will require opening three chests and then find a way to reach the exit. Here’s how you can grab the chest and then find a way to the second room:

How To Complete The Second Set Of Puzzles In Depulso Puzzle Room 2
You have to do some platforming to get all three chests and reach the exit in the second part of Depulso Puzzle Room 2. However, this can be a little trickier than some of Hogwarts Legacy’s platforming Merlin Trials, so you should always do a running jump.
