How to Solve the Bell Tower Puzzle
Did you get lost in Hogwarts and catch yourself staring at the Bell Tower Puzzle for too long? If you're stumbling over trying to crack the puzzle with Accio, don't worry, there is a much better spell you can use to solve it in no time. This guide will cover everything you need to know about solving the Bell Tower Puzzle -- part of the All's Well That Ends Bell side quest. This one's not to be confused with the Solved by the Bell side quest in Hogwarts Legacy that involves a different set of bells. This guide applies to all versions of Hogwarts Legacy, including the original PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S versions of Hogwarts Legacy, as well as the Nintendo Switch version.
How to Solve the Bell Tower Puzzle
All's Well That Ends Bell will become available after you complete In the Shadow of the Mine. The quest can be found near the Defence Against The Dark Arts Tower Floo Flame in The Astronomy Wing. To start the quest, you'll need to talk to a Hufflepuff student.
You can find the Hogwarts Castle Bell Tower Puzzle above the Choir Room in the Bell Tower Wing, on the western half of Hogwarts; the closest Floo Flame location to the room would be the Bell Tower Courtyard.
From the courtyard, go up the first set of stairs to your right until you get to a tiny corridor with an Eye Chest at the end—the next room over will be the Choir Room. Go to the back of the room and up the wooden stairs, and you'll make it to the Bell Tower.
While you can try your hardest to solve it using Accio, having the Wingardium Leviosa Charm will make putting back the two missing bells a breeze—as you can fine-tune the height, distance, and rotation of the object you're levitating.
To learn the spell, you must progress further in the main questline until you attend your first Herbology Class with Professor Garlick. She will then give you the assignment to test the Venomous Tentacula and the Mandrake plants in combat.
- Complete the assignment and return to her class; she will teach you how to use the advanced levitation charm there.
- Check out our guide on how to obtain those two plants here.
Return to the Bell Tower and use the charm on the two bells. The first bell is located to the right on the set of stairs, while the second is tucked in a corner below the second flight of stairs. If you're struggling to locate them, use Revelio, and it'll highlight them in blue.
- The first bell must go in the row below, next to the biggest one. The second will fit in the row above, all the way to the left.
Once you have put the two bells in place and thus repaired the entire array of bells, the bells will ring to signal that you're done. You can complete this puzzle at anytime, but its reward is tied to the All's Well That Ends Bell side quest. To complete it, head back to the Hufflepuff student and you'll receive 180 XP and Conjuration Spellcraft.
Since you're already here, you should also head upstairs to the top of the tower to find a small chest and, on the balcony, a Toad Statue that'll teleport you to another tower's balcony containing a legendary chest.
