The Torch Bridge Puzzle is one of the first you’ll encounter in Hogwarts during Hogwarts Legacy. In this guide, we’ll show you how to place the torches in the right order and get to the legendary chest under the bridge.
Where to find the torch bridge in Hogwarts?
Although the game version of Hogwarts is huge, finding the torch bridge is fairly easy. Start by using the Viaduct Courtyard Floating Flame node in the Great Hall. Once there, head down the stairs in front of you. You’ll find yourself right on the bridge that connects the Great Hall to the Library Annex.
How to solve the riddle on the bridge with torches?
Now you need to take a good look around. Your task is to find four bowls with torches and an iron hatch with symbols on one side of the bridge. To light the braziers, use any fire spell (Confringo or Incendio will work here, for example). Once the braziers are lit, you can turn the gear at the base and change the Roman numerals when interacting with them to solve the puzzle.
Are the braziers burning? Great. Now take a closer look at the iron hatch shown in the screenshot below. There are four symbols on the hatch, each with a Roman numeral next to it. If we look at the supports under the bowls with torches, we will see the same symbols on them as on the hatch.
These symbols are the key to solving our riddle. To solve the puzzle, you need to look at the symbol on the support under the bowl, find it on the hatch and remember which Roman numeral is depicted next to it. After that, you should put the right number on the brazier and do the same with the other supports.
The hatch will open when all four torches are turned to the correct position. After that, you can go under the bridge for the reward. In the screenshots below, we have shown the correct combinations for all four torches:
Reward for solving the puzzle on the bridge with torches
In the vault under the torch bridge, you’ll find two chests with collectibles, as well as one legendary chest that’s guaranteed to give you a random legendary item. These chests are rare in Hogwarts Legacy, so we’ve put together a separate guide for them .
The long wooden chest contains a random wand handle. The small wooden chest with beveled corners contains a random recipe for the Room of Requirement. If you’re interested in other treasure chests hidden in Hogwarts, check out this guide . It details where to find hidden chests and rewards.
Since the Torch Bridge Puzzle is one of the three Hogwarts Secrets, completing it will give you a bonus: one of three skins for your outfit for completing the challenge from the collection menu.
To get the other two outfits, we recommend that you visit the Hogwarts Headmaster’s Office , where you can get a key that opens access to a secret room. In addition, it is worth solving the puzzle with the doors in the Clock Tower .
