Before you proceed to solve the Chess Puzzles in Hogwarts Legacy, you must have Transformation and Wingardium Leviosa spell. The chess puzzle is easy, as all you have to do, is checkmate the black king. After you head to the treasure vault, cast Revelio to see the highlighted objects; once you see one highlighted object, use the Transformation spell to transform the highlighted object into a chess piece.

Depending on the chess piece, you must place the piece in a way that it attacks the Black King. Usually, the missing piece is the bishop, which in that case, you must place diagonally to the Black King. However, if it’s another piece, you must place it on the board according to that piece to solve 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:

Pawn: Moves forward one square at a time. Pawns capture other pieces diagonally, one square ahead of them. Pawns can never move backward.
Pawn Chest Piece
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.
Rook Chest Piece
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.
Knight Chest Piece
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.
Bishop Chest Piece
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.
Queen Chest Piece
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).
King Chest Piece

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.
