Hogwarts Legacy Treasure Vaults are a great way of getting extra gear while also exploring the wizarding world. These little troves of treasure are marked on your map, and so are pretty easy to locate when you're out and about raiding goblin camps and doing Merlin Trials. There are plenty scattered throughout the map, and like the trials, there are a variety of spells needed to access them.

If you've just arrived at Hogwarts, you might want to know how to get a broom so you can move around faster, or how exactly you're meant to solve those weird Puzzle Doors. That said, here's how to access each of the Hogwarts Legacy Treasure Vaults so you can plunder them for gold and good gear.

Just like the Merlin Trials you trip over every few feet in the Highlands, you'll also happen upon lots of Treasure Vaults when exploring the world. While some Treasure Vaults let you walk right in the front door, others are concealed behind puzzles that require specific spells, or are guarded by fearsome enemies.

Here's every Treasure Vault I've encountered so far and how to get inside each of them:

Once inside the Treasure Vault, you'll either be able to access the chest straight away or will have to solve another puzzle to get to it. Luckily, these follow the same rough guidelines as the challenges above. Some require you to levitate a spell cube over a barrier and place it on a plate, some have you pull switches with Accio, while others involve using a weighted cube to access a chest hidden underneath a sinking floor.

In terms of solving these secondary vault puzzles, Revelio is your best friend, highlighting the interactable elements in the room as well as the chest, so you can quickly work out how to open it.
