Merlin Trials

In Hogwarts Legacy, players are introduced to the Merlin Trials early on, which require completion to increase inventory space. You'll learn about them shortly after your first trip to Hogsmeade in the main quest line.

The Merlin Trials comprise a series of short puzzles, some of which require specific spells, meaning you will need to come back to them later if you have not yet learned the required spell.
