Guide for Hogwarts Legacy door puzzles: How to solve the numbered animal door puzzles

The highly anticipated Hogwarts legacy is finally here. The game contains a bunch of exciting mysteries to discover around the famous Hogwarts castle and the nearby grounds. Many of these mysteries are locked behind the arithmetic puzzle doors with creature symbols.

In these puzzles, players must find the correct number/creature to substitute “?” and “??” symbols so that all three small numbers add up to create the bigger number in the middle.

The arithmetic door puzzles can be easily solved with the help of a cheat sheet found in the Divination classroom, depicting the creature with the correct numerical value required to create the number in the middle.
