Hogwarts Legacy is filled with deep secrets, hidden side quests, and challenging environmental puzzles that reward clever exploration. Among these challenges is the Solved by the Bell side quest, which requires players to decipher a cryptic piece of sheet music. Successfully deciphering this item allows aspiring witches and wizards to unlock a rare cosmetic item and complete their collection.
Finding the Musical Map in Henrietta's Hideaway
Before you can begin playing the melody, you must first secure the mysterious parchment containing the clues. This map is hidden deep within Henrietta's Hideaway, a dangerous dungeon located at the southern tip of Manor Cape. Navigating the dungeon requires resolving complex magic cube puzzles and defeating powerful Ashwinder enemies who guard the inner chambers.
Once you clear the final camp of dark wizards, look around the environment to locate the parchment. Snatching this item updates your quest log and reveals a drawing of a coastline alongside a series of nine musical bells. You are then directed toward your final destination on the Clagmar Coast to complete the challenge.
Locating the Bell Puzzle at Clagmar Castle
With the map secured, you need to travel east toward the crumbling ruins of Clagmar Castle. The ruins are heavily guarded by high-level dark wizards and a formidable mini-boss, so come prepared for intense combat. If you prefer to avoid a massive brawl, you can use a flying broomstick to land safely on the southwestern platform directly in front of the puzzle.
Perched on the castle walls, you will find nine bells suspended in two vertical columns alongside a central structure. A wooden platform stands directly opposite these bells, offering the perfect vantage point for aiming your spells. Standing here allows you to clearly see how the bells align with the musical notes described on your parchment.
Striking the Bells in the Correct Order
To solve the puzzle, you must strike eight specific bells in a precise sequence using your basic magic cast. The map translates to a familiar theme song, requiring you to carefully hit the corresponding pitches. The correct order to shoot the bells is the second from the bottom, followed by the fifth from the top, and then the third from the top.
Continue the musical sequence by hitting the fourth from the top, the fifth from the top, and then the absolute top bell. Conclude the puzzle by striking the second bell from the top and finally the fourth bell from the top. Hitting them correctly triggers a gorgeous rendition of Hedwig's Theme, which causes a hidden treasure chest to materialize right at your feet.
