How to complete the bridge puzzle in Hogwarts Legacy

Like most puzzles in Hogwarts Legacy, the bridge puzzle appears to be more complex than it actually is. To complete this puzzle, players will need to have learned Incendio.

Bridge puzzle step one: use Incendio on the braziers

• Approach all four braziers that are located on either end of the bridge and light them up utilizing the Incendio spell.

Bridge puzzle step two: match the symbols with the Roman numerals

• Return to each brazier and interact with them to switch the symbol to correspond with the correct Roman numeral. Which one belongs with which is illustrated on the golden circle that acts as a key for the puzzle on the right side of the bridge.
  • I: Triangle with lines on it
  • II: Circle with another circle within it
  • III: Triangle with a circle and a line within it
  • IV: Diamond with an X through it

The Roman numeral that the brazier is on can be seen right at the base of each one. They can be changed to the correct one in any order, but the reward will not be granted until all four have been lit with Incendio and switched to the correct Roman numeral.

What do you get for completing the bridge puzzle in Hogwarts Legacy?

Once you have successfully completed the puzzle, the golden circle guide for it will open to reveal a ladder. Descend the ladder to find two small chests that grant some loot plus a more important chest at the far end of the area that contains a legendary asset.

Items of Legendary rarity are the top-tier gear pieces throughout the entire game. Not only do they offer nice stat boosts in and of themselves, but they also create some very powerful results when you add traits to that gear piece.
