Hogwarts Legacy: Solved by the Bell quest walkthrough

Navigating the enchanting quests of Hogwarts Legacy, players encounter the challenging Solved by the Bell puzzle, demanding a keen ear for music. If melodies aren’t your forte, fear not; this guide will lead you through every note.

Your magical journey will take you to Henrietta’s Hideaway, where a Musical Map hints at treasure in the Highlands. However, deciphering this map, like many in Hogwarts Legacy, is no small feat.

In order to complete the quest and get the precious treasure, you’ll need to read a music sheet and play a particular tune first. If you’re not a musically inclined person, this guide will come in handy.

How to start the Solved by the Bell quest in Hogwarts Legacy

To start the Solved by the Bell quest, you first need to trigger it by finding the Musical Map. This map shows the location of the hidden treasure in the game as well as the tune you’ll have to play to get it.

Where to find the Musical Map in Hogwarts Legacy

If you didn’t find the Musical Map by chance when walking around Henrietta’s Hideaway, you’ll need to follow these steps:

1. Fly to the Manor Cape region and go to the southern section, where you’ll find Henrietta’s Hideaway.
2. Fight every enemy guarding the entrance.
3. Once inside the cave, use Incendio or Confringo to light up the brazier in front of the statue on the left.
4. Use Wingardium Leviosa on the cube, and place it on the platform facing the wooden double door.
5. Use Incendio on the left cube and Glacius on the right one.
6. Before moving forward, light the brazier in front of the reaper statue on the right to reveal a hidden chest.
7. Go down the stairs and defeat every Ashwinder in the atrium.
8. Go up the turning staircase on the left of the central statue. From the top of the staircase, take a right and keep moving forward.
9. You’ll find an enemy being swept away by the floor, so cast Arresto Momentum onto it so you don’t get swept away too.
10. Go inside the next room and defeat all the enemies.
11. Step in front of the large statue and turn right. You’ll see a fractured stone wall that hides a secret room behind.
12. On the table, you’ll find the Musical Map.
