Finding each vault scattered throughout the Hogwarts Legacy map is quite the task but we've made it easier by providing each vault location based on region, as well as how to solve the individual puzzles. Completionists should be able to easily identify what they missed by checking the number of vaults completed in each region and comparing it to the lists below.

Here is a list of every puzzle type in Hogwarts Legacy that players will encounter while hunting for Treasure Vaults and how to solve it:

Puzzle Type

Solution

Elemental Cube Puzzle

Use Wingardium Leviosa to bring the cube to the corresponding platform:

Dive

Swim to the whirlpool and follow prompt

Locked Doors

Use Alohomora Levels I-III to open locks

Blocked Entry

Use Depulso on barrier

Dice Blocks

Use Wingardium Leviosa to move stone dice to an empty slot.

Dancing Cauldrons

Use Confringo to light unlit cauldrons.

Petal Vortex

Chase the petal vortex until it reveals the chest.

Missing Statue

There will be a statue on one pedestal with a lit cauldron, and one with nothing. Use Glacius on the cauldron to douse it. Step on either platform after it switches. This will take the player to the chest.

Pull the Lever!

Use Accio on the handle of a lever to pull it, usually opening a corresponding door. In some cases, multiple levers have to be pulled.

Skeleton Construction

Break the bone piles and use a combination of Accio/Wingardium Leviosa to move piles onto corresponding platforms to build the solution to the puzzle.

Cube Waves

Pick up the cube using Wingardium Leviosa. It will cause the floor to respond.

Simple Archway

Walk through the archway and turn back to reveal the chest.

Chess Puzzle

Bring the randomly generated object to the chess board. Use Transformation to turn it into a chess piece, and place it in the corresponding checkmate position based on the piece it turns into. Note: These puzzles reset if not solved immediately and are not the same every time. General rules of chess movement apply. Put the transformed piece into the right position to capture the King's open weakness.

Spider Webs

Use Confringo or Incendio to burn the spider webs away

Disappearing Walls

Walk toward the wall sections which can be highlighted by Revelio. The wall will disappear, and one of the disappearing walls is hiding a chest.
