Hogwarts Legacy Bridge Puzzle [SOLVED]

Hogwarts Legacy, an open-world game, allows players to get the most out of it by hiding easy and complex puzzles in plain sight and tougher puzzles that require extreme brainpower to solve, and the Hogwarts Legacy Bridge Puzzle is one such example. Players might require assistance to solve it. 

Puzzle Map 

To solve the puzzle, players should keep in mind that rushing through it may lead to mistakes. Take your time to fully understand and solve the puzzle correctly.

Here are some steps to help you navigate the puzzle in Hogwarts Legacy:

1. When you open the map, you’ll see a detailed 3D view of the castle, including its boundary walls, stairs, rooftops, rooms (lit and dimmed), grassy areas, and the visible water features.
2. Look towards the left side of the map to find the various Floo Flames locations, such as the Astronomy Wing, Belltower Wing, Great Hall, Grand Staircase, Library Annex, Secret Rooms, and South Wing.
3. At the top of the map, you’ll find the world map, and to the right, you can see different items you can collect, including Collection Chests, Field Guide Pages, Demi Guise Statues, and Astronomy Tables.
4. Head towards the bottom of the castle, where a bridge connects.

Remember to take your time, explore the castle’s various locations, and refer to the map and the puzzle clues as needed to successfully solve it.

Puzzle Location 

Moving closer and more in-depth with the map, if we look down from a top-down view, we can see the bridge is present in the general courtyard area where the Hogwarts Legacy Bridge Puzzle is located!

• On the map, the bridge runs on top of a massive gap between one cliff and the next. 
• Some ledges are on either side of the bridge, conveniently displayed on the map, where the bridges connect to the cliff’s bottom. 
• Where the bridge ends, players can see that there is a green patch of land that starts instead. 

The Hogwarts Legacy Bridge Puzzle itself is part of one of the achievements that players need to do, which is the Solve I Hogwarts Secret, and it is a part of it through which players can get their hands on a secret Solver’s Bathing Costume that players can claim. 

Bridge Area 

Upon reaching the location of the Hogwarts Legacy Bridge Puzzle, you’ll find yourself in a massive circular courtyard in the middle of the castle. Surrounding the circular courtyard are stone ledges.

Here’s what you’ll notice in this area:

1. Circular Courtyard: The courtyard is circular in shape, with stone ledges surrounding it.
2. Central Circle: In the middle of the courtyard, there is a smaller circle within a larger one.
3. Long Bridge: Ahead of you, there’s a long bridge, and the edges of the bridge are somewhat asymmetrical.
4. Stone Ledges: On the left side of the bridge, you can see squared-off stone ledges, perfect for placing decorative items.
5. Lamps/Vases: On the first squared-off stone ledge at the beginning of the bridge, there are lamps or vases placed on both the right and left sides of the bridge.
6. Benches: Along the middle of the bridge, there are benches where people can sit and rest.
7. Tall Lamps: Beside each bench, there’s a tall lamp, likely used for lighting the area at night. These lamps are evenly spaced along the bridge.

Keep these observations in mind as they might be useful for solving the puzzle on the bridge.

Roman Plate 

Now, as you enter the actual bridge area, you can take note of a smaller circle plate that is present right smack in the middle of the bridge itself. 

• If you take a closer look at the plate, the first thing you can see is the brown/bronze color of the plate itself. 
• Alongside that, small markings are present right on the outer side of the circle. 
• With that, an inner circle also seems to be protruding out. 
• Alongside that, as soon as you enter the actual circle, and then, there is also a gold circle in the middle of it, with an X-shaped marking that runs through the middle of the circle. Some gaps present in the middle of the circle as well. 

The way the cross is placed allows for more markings to be placed in the crevices of the cross. 

Top Of The Cross 

At the top of the cross on the bridge puzzle, there is a smaller gold-colored circle situated right on top of the aperture. This smaller circle is positioned in a way that both edges of the circle touch the pointed end of the cross.

Here are some details of this smaller circle:

1. Lines: Two lines extend from either end of the smaller circle and connect to the larger circle. Additionally, two shorter lines protrude from the top of the smaller circle and touch the edge of the larger circle.
2. Inner Circle: Within the smaller circle, there is another circle that protrudes outward.
3. Triangle: A downward-pointing triangle is positioned inside the circle, and lines extend from each of the triangle’s corners, meeting at the center of the triangle.
4. Additional Lines: From the center of the triangle’s edges, there are three lines extending outward, all of equal length.
5. Roman Numeral: At the top of the smaller circle, the Roman numeral “I” is also displayed.

Right Of The Cross 

Now, if we look to the right of the cross, we can see yet another circle that has its edges connected towards the outer edges of the cross, and the circle itself is touching the inner edges too. 

• There is another circle that is in the middle of the original one, and there is a triangle that is present right smack in the middle of the circle. 
• Towards the base of the triangle, in the middle of it, there is a smaller circle with a long line that runs through the center. 
• Now, looking toward the right of the circle, there is another roman numeral that players can take note of. 

Bottom Of The Cross 

Moving on, another circle is also present towards the bottom of the cross, making it all the easier for the payer to figure out the shape of it too. 

• Two lines were also present on the top of the circle that is also running from the bottom of this circle. 
• Right in the middle of the circle, there is a smaller circle with a crescent-shaped moon shape in the middle, and there is a roman numeral that is also present at the bottom.

Left Of The Cross 

When you cross towards the left side of the cross (nice pun), there is a circle that is present here, and there are two lines that emerge from the edges of the circle, and then two smaller lines that are almost not even visible. 

• Alongside that, there is a square in the middle of it, and lines run in a cross shape with each other line running down the edges. 

First Brazier 

To solve the Hogwarts Legacy Bridge Puzzle, players need to match the symbols on the ground plate with the braziers located on the bridge. Here’s how it works:

1. Brazier Correspondence: Each brazier on the bridge corresponds to a specific symbol on the ground plate.
2. Roman Numerals: At the base of each brazier, there are Roman numerals I-IV.
3. Matching Symbols: Players must rotate the Roman numerals on the braziers until they match the symbol displayed on the ground plate.

For example, if the symbol on the ground plate is a square with lines extending from its edges (as you described), you would need to rotate the Roman numeral on the brazier to match it with “IV” (Roman numeral for 4), which corresponds to the square symbol.

By matching the Roman numerals on the braziers with the symbols on the ground plate, players can successfully solve the bridge puzzle in Hogwarts Legacy.

Second Brazier 

For the second brazier in the Hogwarts Legacy Bridge Puzzle, follow these steps:

1. Location: The second brazier is located on the right side of the bridge. You can find it to the right of a bench where two people are sitting.
2. Symbol and Roman Numeral: At the front of the stone ledge near this brazier, there is a circular symbol with a pointed edge at the top. In the middle of this circle, there is a smaller circle with a crescent-shaped moon symbol, matching the symbol on the ground plate.
3. Matching Roman Numeral: To solve this part of the puzzle, first, light the lamp on top of the ledge. Then, rotate the Roman numeral on the brazier until it reaches “II,” corresponding to the circular symbol with the crescent-shaped moon.

Third Brazier 

When you want to head towards the brazier that is present towards the top left of the bridge, then the first thing that you can see is another circular item that is placed towards the center of the bridge, while there is also a bench with a man sitting on it, and a lamp that has been placed there too. 

• As for the lamp, it has been placed on top of the squared-off ledge, and it is practically identical to the other four that are present there too. 
• Right on the front of the stone ledge, when it comes to the circular symbol, a triangle is present there, which matches exactly the one on the plate. 
• The triangle can be seen to have three lines that run from each corner of the triangle and barely meet in the middle and three lines that each run from the middle of the edges independently. 
• Players need to have the roman numeral I meet the symbol.

Fourth Brazier 

As for the fourth brazier, players need to simply make a 180 turn from the position that they are in, and they can see the statute that has been placed on the stone ledge towards the top right of the bridge.

• On the front of the ledge, there is a triangle that has a small circle on the base of it, with a line running down the center. 
• Players need to have it match the roman numeral III. 

Getting The Chests 

Once players have managed to rotate each dial properly and lit everything on fire, they can turn right back around, and they are able to run directly back to the plate on which all of the roman numerals and symbols for the statue were placed. 

• The plate has been opened up, and it only reveals the roman numerals now, and instead of going straight down, there is a ladder that allows players to descend down safely.
• There are two smaller chests, one that is present towards the edges of the canal and one larger chest towards the end of the tunnel.

How To Light Up Braziers 

Now, when it comes to the Braziers in order to solve the Hogwarts Legacy Bridge Puzzle, players need to light up the braziers, and they can use the Incendio or Confringo spells. 

Incendio 

One of the first spells that players can use in order to light up the braziers is known as the Incendio spell, which is mostly used in three things: 

• Players can use it in order to burn up enemies, while they are also able to use it in order to remove spider webs. Now, alongside that, they are also able to light up torches with it. 

In order to get it, players need to complete Professor Hecat’s Assignment 1 completely, and the objectives are as follows: 

• Players need to first report back to Professor Hecat. 
• After that, they need to win two rounds of crossed wands. 
• Players will also get the objective to practice spell combos, and they then need to head back to professor Hecat where they can learn the Incendio spell. 

Confringo

Now last but not least, players can also use confringo, which is typically used to burn enemies, but players need to complete the In The Shadow Of The Undercroft quest.
