Hogwarts Legacy villager's tomb: Start this puzzle
The Villager's Tomb is a kind of secret zone and a little difficult to spot in Hogwarts Legacy. However, it's well worth a visit, as you'll find a puzzle to solve and a mysterious reward Where a treasure chest to obtain, but you can also meet other ghosts outside Hogwarts Castle.
Note that the Villager's Tomb and the Tomb of Betrayal are not exactly the same, but are linked to each other in the Hogwarts Legacy game. You'll find the Villager's Tomb in the northern part of the Hogsmeade map. However, the entrance to the tomb is only accessible at night, when some of the ghosts from Hogwarts Legacy appear in the cemetery.
- Climb the cemetery stairs and pass a pair of ghosts playing catch with a ghostly head. There's a crypt entrance nearby called the Villager's Tomb.
- Once inside, you can find a chest and a small bag on the left near a secret wall entrance that opens when you approach it.
- Inside the secret entrance, you can hear a group of Ashwinder scouts talking. Approach them using stealth game tactics like the disillusionment spell, or use ancient magic moves to shoot them down and collect the loot.
- A set of pillars will block your path and you'll see a strange circular symbol on the floor, which is where you need to solve the riddle.
Solving the riddle of the villager's tomb
To solve the riddle of the Villager's Grave, you must follow the following steps:
Use the rotating platform:
On the left side of the room is a small bowl on a rotating platform.
- Use a fire spell like Incendio to ignite the bowl if it hasn't already been ignited during the battle, making the platform turn.
- Jump on the platform and stand on the circular pressure switch. The wall rotates, teleporting you to the space behind the wall of pillars.
Use Accio to complete the puzzle
Behind the pillars, there's a cube on a small platform in the wall.
- Use the spell Accio to catch it and place it on the ground so that you can catch it from a distance.
- Use the rotating wall mechanism to return to the previous area with the circular symbol.
- You can use Accio again to lift the cube into the air.
- Place it on the circular symbol on the ground in front of the pillars and cast Incendio on the cube to make it glow.
The launch of Incedio will open the way for a secret door behind the pillars leading to an adjacent room containing a treasure chest and out of the villagers' tomb. Inside, you'll find an undetermined object, possibly a head or face, which you can identify using the room's identification table on request.
The pillars will always block your path, so use the rotating wall to reach the newly-opened room and open the treasure chest.
