Before you can start solving the puzzles for this side quest, you will need to locate the hidden entrance to the Halls of Herodiana. You can find this on the ground floor of the Defence Against the Dark Arts Tower, located to the south of the exit leading to the Transfiguration Courtyard. You will have to use the Depulso spell on the middle block of the red marble wall to uncover the hall’s entrance.

Once inside the hall, you will have to solve three puzzles in order to retrieve Herodiana’s outfit from the three chests. Solving all three of these puzzles will require you to follow a series of steps in perfect order. Having said that, here’s how you can solve the Halls of Herodiana puzzles and complete this side quest in Hogwarts Legacy:

First Puzzle

• Use Depulso to push the two movable blocks toward the eastern wall.
• Climb up on top of the walls to reach the door above the blocks.
• Open the chest to claim the first piece of Herodiana’s outfit

Second Puzzle

• Use Depulso on the single block on the second level to push it towards the west.
• Move to the top of the line of non-movable stone blocks and cast Accio on the movable block at the ground level to pull the movable blocks over to the line of blocks on the ground.
• Jump on top of the blocks to climb up to the next platform.
• Open the chest on the higher platform to claim the second piece of Herodiana’s outfit.

Third Puzzle

• Use Accio to pull nearby blocks to the southern wall.
• Cast Depulso on the blocks to push them towards the switch.
• Use Accio again to pull nearby blocks to the northern wall and climb on top of it.
• Jump across the blocks to reach the other ledge of the northern wall and activate the switch to reset all the blocks.
• Cast Accio to pull the blocks all the way to the eastern and the northern wall to create a path for you to jump across and climb the wall.
• Open the chest after jumping across the blocks and reaching the wall to claim the third and final piece of Herodiana’s outfit.

Once you have completed all three puzzles, you will be able to head back to Sophronia and interact with the NPC. At this point, the NPC will ask to see Herodiana’s outfit and you can choose to ask for a fee to earn some Gold from this side quest. Even if you don’t ask for the fee, you will still receive a certain amount of XP for completing the quest.
