Where Are the Wizard’s Chess Puzzles Located in Hogwarts Legacy?
There are two wizard’s chess puzzles, which can be found in the following locations:
- Poidsear Coast – Travel to the Northeast edge of the area. Look for two windmills that flank a closed cave. Cast Depulso on the windmills. When they are both moving at full speed the cave will open.
- Marunweem Lake – Just East of the center of the area, located next to a hamlet and poacher camp. The cave entrance is located directly behind the poacher camp. Players will need level 3 Alohomora to access a puzzle cube that opens the cave door.
