There are quite a few particularly difficult tasks in Hogwarts Legacy, with the Charles Rookwood trial being a prime example you need to complete.<\/p>\n

Taking place midway through the list of Hogwarts Legacy\u2019s main missions<\/a>, this quest is mandatory if you want to progress through the story.<\/p>\n

The second trial in the main story, Charles Rookwood\u2019s test will have you backtracking a fair bit during the two Archway puzzles \u2013 so we\u2019re here to help. Here\u2019s how to solve the Charles Rookwood trial.<\/p>\n

How to solve the puzzles in Charles Rookwood\u2019s Trial<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As in the earlier Percival Rackham trial, the Archway in the Charles Rookwood Trial works as a sort of parallel dimension which you can enter and pull objects back and forth from in order to solve the puzzles. This can get a bit confusing, so see below for step-by-step guides to complete the two main Archway puzzles.<\/p>\n

Charles Rookwood Trial Blocking Pillar Puzzle Solution<\/strong><\/h3>\n

After entering the Charles Rookwood Trial, your first major puzzle will see a pillar blocking the Archway back to the original reality. Here\u2019s how to solve the pillar puzzle:<\/p>\n

  • Use a Basic Cast on the button on the right-hand wall.<\/li>\n
  • Cast Accio through the Archway, pulling the pillar into your current reality (where it will turn into a cube).<\/li>\n
  • The pillar should now be removed, and you can walk around the Archway into the next room.<\/li>\n<\/ul>

    Charles Rookwood Trial Bridge Puzzle Solution<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Your final puzzle before the big boss battle involves a broken bridge that you need to navigate to reach the other side. Here\u2019s how to do it:<\/p>\n

    • Use a Basic Cast on the wall-mounted button, rotating the Archway towards the little ledge where you came in.<\/li>\n
    • On the ledge, cast Levioso (not<\/em> Wingardium Leviosa) on the cube to levitate it.<\/li>\n
    • Climb on the floating cube to get up onto the bridge.<\/li>\n
    • Shoot the wall-mounted button again, rotating the bridge back to its original position.<\/li>\n
    • You should now be able to jump across into the next room.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      If you need a visual guide to help picture all those trips through the Archway, check out this nicely sped-up and to-the-point video below. The first puzzle starts at one minute into the video, and the second puzzle starts at 02:30 into the video.<\/p>\n
