How To Solve The Chess Puzzle

Before you proceed to solve the Chess Puzzles in Hogwarts Legacy, you must have Transformation and Wingardium Leviosa spell.

1. After entering the treasure vault, cast the Revelio spell to reveal highlighted objects.
2. Look for the highlighted object that can be transformed into a chess piece using the Transformation spell.
3. Transform the object into the appropriate chess piece. Usually, it’s the bishop that’s missing.
4. Place the chess piece on the chessboard in a way that it attacks the Black King. For the bishop, position it diagonally to the Black King.
5. Once the chess piece is correctly placed and attacking the Black King, you will have successfully solved the chess puzzle.

Moves Of Chess Pieces

Don’t worry If you are new to chess. Here are all the pieces and their moves that you need to learn in order to solve the chess puzzle:

1. Pawn: Moves forward one square at a time. Pawns capture other pieces diagonally, one square ahead of them. Pawns can never move backward.

   

2. Rook: Moves in a straight line either horizontally or vertically. It can move as many squares as it wants until it reaches the end of the board or another piece blocks its path.

   

3. Knight: Moves in an L-shape pattern: two squares in a straight line, and then one square to the left or right. Knights are the only pieces that can jump over other pieces.

   

4. Bishop: Moves diagonally in a straight line. It can move as many squares as it wants until it reaches the end of the board or another piece blocks its path.

   

5. Queen: The most powerful piece, which can move in any direction: horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. It can move as many squares as it wants until it reaches the end of the board or another piece blocks its path.

   

6. King: Moves one square in any direction. The king is the most important piece, and the game is over when the king is in checkmate (i.e. when it is under attack and cannot escape capture).

   

If you get any of the chess pieces after using transformation, you must remember their moves and attack the Black King in Hogwarts Legacy to solve the chess puzzle.

After doing so, the Black King will be destroyed and the chess puzzle will be solved, and the treasure chest will be revealed.
