Cragcroftshire Merlin Trials - Hogwarts Legacy Guide
This Merlin Trial sits toward the western end of Cragcroftshire, just west of Rohan Prakash's Wanderer Shop and near the sole Ancient Magic Hotspot in this region. When you reach the Merlin Trial, defeat the Ashwinders patrolling the area, then sprinkle Mallowsweet on the altar to begin the trial. To complete this trial, you'll need to destroy five stones in the surrounding area with the spell Confringo. The stones can be identified by their green markings and they're found in the locations described below:
- Stone 1 - Behind the wooden wall northeast of the Merlin altar.
- Stone 2 - On the hill northwest of the Merlin altar, just past a decrepit tree.
- Stone 3 - Found east of the Merlin altar in front of a stone doorway.
- Stone 4 - Southeast of the altar in front of a tree with foliage.
- Stone 5 - The fifth stone is a bit trickier to find. From the altar, head southeast and search for a triangle-shaped hole in the ruins. As pictured above, the final stone can be seen through this triangle-shaped hole.

To reach this Merlin Trial, start at the Cragcroft Hamlet and head northwest toward the Spider and Mongrel Lairs. After spreading Mallowsweet Leaves onto the altar, use Revelio to reveal the location of three stone housings. You'll need to find three sets of butterflies and guide them to the stone housing by luring them with your Lumos spell. Check the list below to learn where to find the three sets of butterflies:
- Butterflies 1 - Above the campfire inches away from the Merlin altar.
- Butterflies 2 - Floating around the cart southeast of the Merlin altar.
- Butterflies 3 - Found in front of the wall directly northeast of the Merlin altar.

Cragcroftshire Merlin Trial 3
This Merlin Trial is located at the center of the Cragcroft Hamlet. After activating the trial, walk onto the path to the southwest and use Revelio to reveal the location of three braziers. To successfully complete this trial, you'll need to quickly light the three braziers so they're all ablaze simultaneously. Because the braziers sit atop pillars of varying sizes, you'll want to use Confringo or Incendio to light the brazier closest to the Merlin Trial first, before running down the path to the south to light the second and third braziers.
