Step-by-Step Process On How To Solve Bridge Puzzle In Hogwarts Legacy
To solve the bridge puzzle in Hogwarts Legacy, you’ll need some clear instructions. Thankfully, you can find that on the northern side of the bridge as there’s a golden wheel with a red outline that tells you everything you need to know.
Each symbol, like the triangle with four lines, has a number attached to it. For example, the square with a cross on it is marked IV. If you take a gander at the lantern, there is a symbol attached to the bottom of the stone pillar and then the number itself on the foundation of the lantern. Now, what you want to do is find the number that is associated with the symbol on the wheel.

Time To Match The Number and Symbol
Now that you know the symbol and number combination, you’ll want to light up the lantern. Use either Incendio or Confringo to summon a burst of fire. It is now aflame. With it now lit, you can spin the mechanism on the lantern to change the number on it. You can do this by pressing the square button (or X on Xbox). Match the number and the symbol on all four pillars of the bridge, and a cutscene should play.
The circle that was once your reference point is now open with a ladder to go underneath the surface of the bridge. You’ll find a lot of loot underneath like gear and gold.
There are many other aspects of Hogwarts Legacy you can explore like riding around the world on a broom and fighting it out in a battle arena for loot. You can even go out and find troll bogeys if you really want to.
