Solved by the bell, Calling all witches and wizards! Are you ready to embark on a hidden musical treasure hunt within the walls of Hogwarts? The “Solved by the Bell” side quest in Hogwarts Legacy presents a delightful puzzle that combines combat, exploration, and a touch of nostalgia for Harry Potter fans. This guide will equip you with all the knowledge you need to decipher the cryptic musical map, ring the bells in the correct order, and claim the reward that awaits.
Initiating the Quest: The Musical Map’s Location
The “Solved by the Bell” quest doesn’t activate automatically. You’ll need to acquire a key item first: the Musical Map. This map can be found hidden within Henrietta’s Hideaway, located in the southwestern region of the world map known as Manor Cape.
Completing the “Rescuing Rococo” side quest naturally leads you to Henrietta’s Hideaway. So, if you’re already on that path, keep an eye out for the map as you explore the hideaway.
Here’s a breakdown of how to find the Musical Map:
Reach Henrietta’s Hideaway: Travel to Manor Cape and locate the hidden entrance. You’ll likely encounter some enemies along the way, so be prepared for a fight.
Navigate the Puzzles: Henrietta’s Hideaway presents a series of puzzles that involve fire and ice magic (Confringo, Incendio, Glacius). Solve these puzzles to progress deeper into the hideaway.
Revealing the Secret Chamber: Look for a shifting floor trap that can be deactivated using the Arresto Momentum spell. Defeating the Ashwinders in the next room will trigger the reveal of a hidden chamber.
Claiming the Musical Map: Cast Revelio to unveil the hidden chamber completely. Inside, you’ll find the Musical Map – a crucial piece to solving the “Solved by the Bell” quest.
Deciphering the Musical Map: Notes and Bells
The Musical Map depicts a chamber with several bells and a series of musical notes. This seemingly cryptic image holds the key to unlocking the hidden treasure. Here’s how to interpret the map:
The Bells: The map showcases multiple bells, each potentially representing a different musical pitch.
The Musical Notes: A sequence of musical notes is displayed on the map. This sequence represents the order in which the bells need to be rung to unlock the treasure.
A Word of Caution: While some sources might claim the solution involves memorizing a specific sequence of numbers corresponding to the bells’ positions, this approach can be misleading. The true solution lies in recognizing the musical notes on the map.
Harmony in Action: Ringing the Bells
Now that you understand the map’s message, it’s time to locate the chamber with the bells. This chamber can be found in the same general area as Henrietta’s Hideaway, though it might be a separate hidden location you need to discover.
Here’s what to do once you find the bell chamber:
Identify the Bells: Locate the bells within the chamber. They might be arranged in a specific order or scattered around the room.
Matching Notes to Bells: Compare the musical notes on the map with the actual notes produced by each bell when struck. Experiment by ringing each bell and listen for the corresponding notes.
The Harry Potter Connection (Spoiler Alert!): Here’s a delightful surprise for Potterheads! The sequence of notes on the map actually corresponds to the opening notes of the iconic Harry Potter theme song.
Remember: If you’re struggling to identify the notes, don’t hesitate to consult online resources or video guides that showcase the solution visually and aurally.
A Treasured Reward: The Fruits of Your Harmony
Once you’ve successfully rung the bells in the correct order based on the musical notes, a magical effect will activate. You’ll likely hear a triumphant chime, and a chest will materialize within the chamber. Open the chest to claim your reward!
The reward for completing “Solved by the Bell” is the Treasure-Seeker’s Longcoat, a stylish cosmetic item that adds a touch of flair to your witch or wizard’s wardrobe.
