Hogwarts Castle is full of hidden chambers, but none are quite as complex and puzzling as Herodiana’s puzzle chamber. You’ll have to go into this place during the Halls of Herodiana quest, which you’ll be told focuses on the Depulso spell. This is technically true, but it’s a little misleading, as you’ll actually be using Accio just as much.

These puzzles can be quite tricky, as the game doesn’t explain some key details, so we’re here to give you the solution. There are other tough challenges in Hogwarts Legacy, if you want to know more about them, check out our guides for Demiguise Moon locations and how to open the House Chest.
