Q.How do I solve the door puzzles in Hogwarts Legacy?
A.Door puzzles use a simple cipher: each creature around a locked door maps to a number 0–9 (left to right). Solve two triangular sums shown on the wall by finding the ? and ?? wall switches (use Revelio), set the matching creatures and the door opens for loot.

The door puzzles in Hogwarts Legacy are arithmetic: find the hidden cipher (or simply count the creature symbols around any puzzle door left-to-right as 0–9), interact with the door to reveal two triangular equations, locate the wall switches marked ? and ?? (they’re usually nearby and glow with Revelio), and set each dial to the creature that represents the missing number to open the door and claim the chest. This method is explained in multiple walkthroughs if you need screenshots or door-by-door solutions (Tom's Guide walkthrough, GamesRadar guide).
To make it practical, here's the creature-to-number key you can use every time: - Demiguise – 0 - Unicorn – 1 - Graphorn – 2 - Hydra – 3 - Fwooper – 4 - Crab/Quintaped – 5 - Lizard/Salamander – 6 - Octopus/Quintaped variant – 7 - Spider – 8 - Multi-headed snake/Runespoor – 9
Tips: count starting at the bottom-left symbol if unsure, use Revelio to spot switches (they can be on different floors), and check location guides for each of the 12 in-school puzzle doors if you want exact map markers (Windows Central locations, Game8 examples).
