Complete the Trials Of Merlin main quest in hogwarts legacy. Learn how to start the trial with Mallowsweet Leaves and solve Pyre puzzles.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After finishing the previous quest, a yellow main quest marker will appear on the minimap (the small circular map in the bottom-left corner of your screen), approximately 70 meters away. Head left across the wooden docks and left again towards a light green tent to find the Trials of Merlin quest marker.
  2. 2
    You will encounter two Ashwinder Scouts hassling researcher Nora Treadwell. After they attack, use base attacks, Levioso to immobilize, and Protego/Stupefy to protect and stun. You can also use small rocks and boulders by throwing them with R1/RB.
  3. 3
    An Ashwinder Duelist and two more Ashwinder Scouts will follow. Prioritize the Duelist by using Incendio to break her Protego. Use surrounding boulders and rocks for these low-level enemies. If you are around level nine, you should be able to defeat them.
  4. 4
    After the fight, speak with Nora Treadwell. You can choose dialogue options such as “Research. How interesting.” or “Who is Priya?”
  5. 5
    Nora will explain that Priya is her wife and that Merlin was a student at Hogwarts in Slytherin house, leaving behind fixtures across the land. She believes these were diversions for his housemates, as he enjoyed puzzles.
  6. 6
    Nora believes the herb "Mallowsweet" is the key to starting the Trials of Merlin, as it appears repeatedly in his writings. She suspects it needs to be placed in the center of the Merlin Trial swirls.
  7. 7
    Head to Nora Treadwell's tent and open the trunk to collect five Mallowsweet Leaves.
  8. 8
    Place the Mallowsweet Leaves on the Merlin Trial swirl to ignite it and make the vines disappear.
  9. 9
    Use a flame spell, such as Incendio, to light the surrounding Pyres. They must be lit from left to right to complete the trial; otherwise, they will reset.
  10. 10
    Return to Nora Treadwell for more information on Merlin Trials. She will mention that more Mallowsweet Leaves can be found in Hogsmeade.
