One of the first secrets you might come across in Hogwarts is a brazier puzzle on a bridge in the castle. But, what is the Hogwarts Legacy bridge puzzle solution?

Thankfully, once you know what you are looking out for the secrets hidden below this bridge in Hogwarts can be pretty easily accessed.

Hogwarts Legacy bridge puzzle solution

To solve the Hogwarts Legacy bridge puzzle, you need to match the numbers and symbols on the ground to the numbers and symbols on each of the four braziers. The corresponding symbols and numbers on the braziers should be:

  • I = Triangle with a target
  • II = Crescent and circles
  • III = Triangle with a circle
  • IV = Diamond

The braziers can be changed in any order, you just have to get the final symbols and numbers to match up on each one to the floor. You will need a fire-casting spell like Incendio. If you don’t have one yet, our how to unlock spells in Hogwarts Legacy guide has you covered.

Hogwarts Legacy has drawn considerable criticism during its development, largely due to the fact that the creator of the Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling, has made a number of transphobic remarks on social media in recent years.

While Avalanche has confirmed that J.K. Rowling is not “directly involved” in the development of Hogwarts Legacy, it is working with “her team” and Portkey Games, a Warner Bros. label dedicated to launching new experiences inspired by J.K. Rowling’s original stories. It is currently unclear whether she will earn any royalties from the game’s sale, but it is likely given it is based on her original body of work.
