How to Open Every Locked Object in Hogwarts Legacy: 7-Type Cheat Sheet

Quick Answer

Identify the object before using a spell. Eyeball Chests need Disillusionment; animal-number doors need simple triangle math; padlocked doors need Alohomora; element cubes respond to their symbols; moth mirrors need Lumos; wall braziers need fire; frog statues act as magical transporters.

Interactive Guide

All seven object types

Eyeball Chests: hide behind a corner so the chest stops watching you, cast Disillusionment, then approach for 500 Galleons.

? and ?? Number Doors: solve each triangle by subtracting the two known outer values from the center. Symbols around the door count 0–9, starting at the bottom left. Set the two rollers and interact.

Padlocked Doors Level I, II and III: learn Alohomora from Gladwin Moon’s The Caretaker’s Lunar Lament; then collect Demiguise Moons for higher levels.

Elemental Cube Doors: move the symbol-marked cube onto its matching plate. Cast the corresponding elemental action (fire, ice or levitation) on the cube.

Moth Mirrors: use Lumos to reveal the moth’s location, then guide it back to the frame with the light still active.

Dragon or wall braziers: use Incendio nearby or Confringo from farther away; collect the page or item that appears.

Frog transporter statues: interact with the statue to travel through its special route; they are not typical spell-breakable locks.

Fast recognition rules

Look for an eye that follows you, a triangle sum with animal symbols, a Roman numeral lock, a cube with a carved emblem, or an empty mirrored frame. Once you recognize the visual type, the solution is immediate.

The floating-moth puzzle and the Arithmancy door are completely separate systems. A single key or spell does not open every Hogwarts secret.

Alohomora milestones

You learn Alohomora I during the caretaker quest. Further Demiguise Moon deliveries raise its level. The lock’s Roman numeral must not exceed your current spell tier.

If a door says Level II or III, collecting more moons matters more than rotating the lock minigame faster.
