You’ll spot puzzle doors throughout Hogwarts Legacy that have numbers on them. These number doors have math problems you need to solve to open them. However, some of the numbers are represented by images of magical beasts. Fortunately, the information you need to solve these is right in front of you. It just takes some thinking to decipher it.
How do I solve the number door puzzles in Hogwarts Legacy?
To open the number doors in Hogwarts Legacy, you need to solve the math problem on each one. You’ll find two plaques near each door, one marked “?” and the other “??.” These correspond to the “?” and “??” on the door and are how you’ll input your answer to solve the puzzle.
You’ll be presented with two simple algebra equations in each number door puzzle in Hogwarts Legacy. For the door in the example image above, you have the following:
- 2 + Hydra + ? = 9
- 0 + 1 + ?? = 4
The part that’s so confusing about these puzzles is the magical beast. After all, how are you supposed to know what number a Hydra represents?
Fortunately, you’re told precisely what number each beast is right around the door’s rim. Each number door in Hogwarts Legacy has the beast icons around its edge, and they’re in the correct order. So, starting in the left bottom corner of the door, just match each icon with a number, starting with 0.
To make solving these even easier, use the chart above.
So, now that we know what number each beast represents, we can solve the equations and open the door:
- 2 + 3 + 4 = 9
- 0 + 1 + 3 = 4
Now, enter the correct answer into the nearby wall plaques:
- ? = 4 (Owl)
- ?? = 3 (Hydra)
Once you’ve input the correct answer, you can return to the door and interact with it to unlock it.
