The more gear items you acquire in a game, the more you can level up! Players who are engrossed in Hogwarts Legacy will notice the same, as they begin collecting items that get stored in their “Gear Slots.”
However, there are only 20 Gear Slots allotted at the beginning of the game — which everyone knows is nearly not enough to make the best out of Hogwarts Legacy. So, is it possible to get more Gear Slots? How?
You can get more Gear Slots in Hogwarts Legacy by completing Merlins’ Trials. Players will get additional Gear Slots after completing each of these milestones: 2 Merlin Trials, 6 Merlin Trials, 10 Merlin Trials, 14 Merlin Trials, and 18 Merlin Trials.
So, getting Gear Slots is quite simple as long you unlock the trials themselves and learn how to solve the puzzles. Let’s get into it!
How to unlock Merlin’s Trials?
First, you’ll meet Natty in the quest called The Girl from Uagadou. Immediately after finishing this, you’ll hear a cry of distress from Treadwell, which begins the next quest called Trials of Merlin. After you’ve helped Treadwell, she will take you to your first trial.
Once you complete the first trial, all the other trials will be automatically unlocked! If you want to find the trials on the map, just look out for the tiny leaf icons.
You may also stumble across them on the ground, as they’re marked by a circular stone with engravings on it. You can confirm these are tied to Merlin’s Trials by casting Revelio, at which point it will glow blue.
How to solve Merlin’s Trials
Merlin’s Trials can be solved by using a spell depending on which type of puzzle it is. There are 9 unique puzzle types, all of which amount to 95 trials in total.
So yes, there are a lot of trials to solve, but as long as you know the basics of the puzzle and identity which puzzle type matches a trial, you’re good to go! Here are the puzzle types and how to solve them:
I. Lighting Torches
Required spell – Incendio or Confringo
How To Solve – Light the torches around the trial using Incendio or Confringo. Once this happens, they’ll start sinking into the ground. Be quick and light all of them before they sink.
Pro-tip – Study the torches’ positions. Opt to light the tallest torch first. Use Confringo for torches that are far away.
II. Smashing Orbs
Required spell – Basic Cast
How To Solve – Simply destroy the orbs on top of the pillars using Basic Cast!
III. Symbol Cubes
Required spell – Flipendo
How To Solve – Studying the arrows on the cubes, use Flipendo on the cubes and align them in the order they need to be in.
IV. Gathering Moths
Required spell – Lumos
How To Solve – Use Lumos to attract the moths flying nearby and direct them to the cube crystals. This will light them up.
V. Stone Spheres
Required spell – Accio
How To Solve – Use Accio to push five small stone balls into plates that have ball-shaped holes in them.
VI. Exploding Stones
Required spell – Confringo
How To Solve – Use Confringo to blow up the cracked green rocks in the trial area.
VII. Repairing Statues
Required spell – Reparo
How To Solve – Repair the broken, collapsed statues by casting Reparo.
VIII. Magical Football
Required spell – Depulso, or Wingardium Leviosa
How To Solve – Fancied playing football using magic? Here’s your chance. Use movement spells like Wingardium Leviosa or Depulso to “kick” the ball into the goal.
Pro-tip – Use Wingardium Leviosa to easily carry the ball into the goal.
IX. Standing Stones
Required spell – None
How To Solve – Treat this as an obstacle race — Climb onto one end of the nearby standing stones and get to the last stone by jumping. You lose if you fall to or touch the ground.
