How To Climb The Battlements In Hogwarts Legacy

To get started, teleport to the Falbarton Castle Floo Flame teleport waypoint and make your way toward the right. There you will find climbable walls.
Use the directional and jump keys to climb up and walk towards the left side. There you will find a mechanism and a locked door with a wooden box.
Use the Depulso spell on the mechanism to open the locked door, and then use Wingardium Leviosa to pull the wooden box out of the room. After that, keep the Wingardium Leviosa active and release it when you place the box below the broken wall.
Now, use the Levioso spell to levitate the wooden box, use the forward + jump keys to climb the box, and then the ledge, completing the objective “Climb up the battlements.”

The next objective will ask you, “Enter the Gatehouse.” But the path is blocked by a wall made of wooden planks and a wooden box. Firstly, destroy the Wooden Planks using Depulso and then run towards the opposite side of the entrance.
You will find a window from where you can target the wooden box and use the Accio spell to pull it forward. Doing so will remove the box from the path.
Now, make your way inside and use Depulso on the mechanism and Accio on the gate lever to open the gates for Natsai Onai.
