There’s nothing worse than running out of gear slots and inventory space in an open-world RPG as vast and expansive as Hogwarts Legacy, but it does happen. The slots fill up very quickly and I lost track of the times during the early game of Hogwarts Legacy when I grew frustrated by gear slot full messages in the middle of crawling a lucrative dungeon.

The good news, however, is that it’s possible to get more gear inventory space as you progress through the story, and it’s not particularly hard to do, although it can take a bit of time.

Here’s everything you need to know when seeing the gear slot full message in Hogwarts Legacy.

Gear slots full: How to get more gear inventory space in Hogwarts Legacy

If you want to get more gear slots in Hogwarts Legacy, you’ll need to complete the Merlin Trials, which are puzzles that appear all over the map. Completing certain amounts of Merlin Trials will reward you with more inventory space for your gear.

Don’t go running off right away to complete these, though. First, you’ll need to unlock the ability to find them, which can be done by meeting the NPC who introduces you to the Merlin Trials as a part of the main quest chain in Lower Hogsfield.

All Merlin Trial gear slot milestones:

After the Lower Hogsfield quest, look for Merlin Trials (they appear as dots on the map) and activate them using Mallowsweet Leaves. You will get more gear inventory space after hitting each of these milestones:

  • 2 Merlin Trials
  • 6 Merlin Trials
  • 10 Merlin Trials
  • 14 Merlin Trials
  • 18 Merlin Trials

How to redeem Merlin Trials challenges in Hogwarts Legacy

Don’t forget that these challenges don’t unlock and redeem your rewards automatically. You’ll need to pause the game, head to the Challenges section on the menu, select Exploration, scroll down to Merlin Trials, and click on each milestone.

Also, keep in mind that some Merlin Trials require certain spells, meaning there might be some you cannot complete until you’ve reached a certain point in the story and unlocked a specific spell.
