Similar to Clagmar Coast, Cragcroftshire contains five Merlin Trials that are scattered around the region. Each Trial represents a puzzle that must be solved by either interacting with the puzzle’s mechanism or casting a specific spell to solve it. This means that players might not be able to solve everything at the beginning since some spells are not accessible until later.
Cragcroftshire’s Merlin Trials are a bit far away from each other. Thus, players might need to summon a Broom orany mount inHogwarts Legacyto reach the other Trials faster.

Cragcroftshire Merlin Trials In Hogwarts Legacy
To solve all Merlin Trials available in the Cragcroftshire Region inHogwarts Legacy, protagonists need to plant or buy Mallowsweet as activating each Trial requires one Mallowsweet Leaf. There are five Trials in this area:
Merlin Trial #1 - Brazier Puzzle
Head to Cragcroft Floo Flame and travel north to find the Trial inside the hamlet.All three braziers pillars need to be lit using Confringo before touching the ground. The first one is near the Merlin altar and can be detected usingRevelio. Light it and keep going south to find the other two along the way.
Merlin Trial #2 - Firefly Puzzle
Summon a Broom and fly northwest to find the second Merlin Trial in an abandoned ruin surrounded by poachers. Defeat them and activate the Trial using aMallowsweet Leaf inHogwarts Legacy.
To solve it, players need to find fireflies and guide them back to any Moonstone pillar inHogwarts LegacyusingLumos.
Merlin Trial #3 - Stone Pillar Puzzle
The third Merlin Trial is quite far from the second one, so it’s better to use a Broom or aflying mount inHogwarts Legacyto reach it. Keep going west until the Trial appears, but do note that players might need to take a detour in some places as there’s an unmountable area along the way.
Once players arrive, defeat the enemies before activating the Merlin Trial. To solve it, castConfringoand destroy the five pillars. The pillars’ location can be seen when using Revelio.
Merlin Trial #4 - Orbs Pillar Puzzle
Similar to the previous Trial, the fourth Merlin Trial is quite far away, so using a mount ora Broom inHogwarts Legacymight be the best option. To reach the Trial, fly east until the altar is visible near a beach.
Solving this Merlin Trial requires breaking nine orbs pillars that can be found around the altar using Revelio. The orbs gather in a group of three, and they can be found south, west, and northeast.
Merlin Trial #5 - Platform Bridge Puzzle
Fly southeast from the previous Merlin Trial to get to the final one in Cragcroftshire. This Trial is quite simple as players only need to jump onto the platforms without skipping one or falling in the waters. If by any chance players fail to do it, the Trial will restart from the beginning.
