How to solve the Keenbridge Merlin Trial in Hogwarts Legacy

In Hogwarts Legacy, you will encounter various Merlin Trails while exploring the highlands, including the Keenbridge Merlin Trial. We have everything you need to know about this challenge.

You get to explore the Wizarding World and all it has to offer in Hogwarts Legacy. You enroll as a fifth-year student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, joining one of the academy’s four houses and learning a number of spells. You use these spells to defeat foes, meet intriguing characters, and solve puzzles.

As you explore the open, you come across Merlin Trials. There are 95 Merlin Trials to complete, and some are easier than others. You must use the spells you’ve learned at Hogwarts to solve these puzzles.

Keenbridge Merlin Trial solution in Hogwarts Legacy

Like most villages in the game, Keenbridge has its own Merlin Trial to complete, but this Merlin Trial is a bit trickier than your average Accio puzzle.

To start, place the Mallowsweet leaves on the platform in the middle of Keenbridge. From there, you’ll need to locate the hollowed-out platform directly across the river from the trial’s starting location and the giant orb you need to place inside the hollowed-out platform.

The giant orb can be found behind the shopkeeper southwest of the trial’s starting location, next to a wooden ramp. Before you can effectively use Accio on the orb, however, you’ll need to strike the orb a couple of times with your basic attack to pop it up and onto the wooden ramp. Keep hitting it with basic attacks until it rolls off the ramp and over the small stone wall. You can also use Depulso to roll the ball up the ramp with greater force.

Then, using Accio on the ball on the other side of the wall, you can roll it across the bridge. When you get halfway down the bridge, you’ll need to push the ball over a small mound to get it across the river with more basic attacks.

From there, keep hitting the orb with basic attacks to push it into the hollowed-out platform on the other side of the bridge. Slot the orb into the platform to complete the Keenbridge Merlin Trial in Hogwarts Legacy.
