Trials of Merlin is a main quest in Hogwarts Legacy.
Objectives[]
"A woman needs help just across the water beyond the dock."
- Help the stranger
"How dare these thieves harass people right in the shadow of Hogwarts? If they want a fight, I'll give it to them."
- Defeat the thieves
- (two Ashwinder Scouts, followed by two more Scouts and an Ashwinder Duellist)
"Now that we've fought off Rookwood's men, I should make sure the woman is unharmed."
- Speak with the stranger
"Now, I'm going to obtain some Mallowsweet from Nora Treadwell's trunk outside of her tent."
- Get the Mallowsweet from the trunk
"First, I need to activate the trial by dropping some Mallowsweet leaves on the stone swirl. Then I have to figure out the mystery of these vine-covered pillars.
- Solve Merlin's Trial
"Mrs Treadwell instructed me to place mallowsweet onto these stone swirls and the strangest thing happened. I wonder what Merlin could have been hiding behind these puzzles."
- Solve Merlin's Trial
"I've solved Merlin's Trial! I should speak to Madam Treadwell and discuss what we've learned."
- Speak to Nora Treadwell
Conclusion[]
"Nora Treadwell and I defeated some Ashwinders who were looking for me near Lower Hogsfield. Afterwards, Mrs Treadwell showed me her research on something called the Merlin Trials and I was able to help her solve one of the puzzles. Now that we know how they work, I should try to solve the ones I encounter."
