Hogwarts Legacy: All Arithmancy Door Locations

Hogwarts Legacy provides a massive map for players to explore and discover all manners of secrets. The Arithmancy Doors will be something a player will see a time or two during their playthrough. They are doors with animal symbols adorned on them and it is kind of a riddle to open them up. This is leaving many players in a bind in not knowing what to do. There is a very specific process to open these doors, of course. They hold a variety of loot that range in tiers. Every door offers a different challenge, hence there is no universal answer to open all of them.

There is a total of 11 Arithmancy Doors to find in Hogwarts Legacy. Chances are that players will encounter a couple during the main quest. However, the others are hidden in far and away places throughout the world. Opening all of these doors is completely optional, of course. However, they do hold rather important items that can really help players out while in a pinch.

Arithmancy Door Locations

Hospital Wing

This area of the map will become unlocked while playing ‘The Caretakers Lunar Lament’ Quest. Head down to the second floor while inside this area. In one of the corners, an Arithmancy Door will be sitting there. Flip the single question mark switch to the beast. Then, flip the double question mark switch to the sea serpent. This door will reward players with two chests, which will have a collectible and gear.

The Great Hall

At the fast travel point in the Great Hall, head left down the hallway. The end of the hallway will have an Arithmancy Door standing there. Flip the double question mark switch to the snake. Then, flip the single question mark switch to a spider. Players will be given a small and big chest. The big chest will contain gear while the smaller one will have a collectible.

Ravenclaw Tower

This door is located adjacent to a knight that’s standing next to a grand staircase. In order to solve this puzzle, flip the single question mark switch to the owl. Then, flip the double question mark switch to the spider. Two chests will be awaiting the player. One chest will have a collectible while the other holds some headgear.

Library Annex First Door

In the Divination Classroom, turn right from the wooden floor. The Arithmancy Door will be located near a corner. Flip the double question mark switch to the snake. Then, flip the single question mark switch to the owl. The room will hold a small chest that will have a collectible item. This room will also have a hallway in it. If desired, head down this hallway to find two more Arithmancy Doors tucked away.

Library Annex Second Door

The Arithmancy Door that’s closest to the entrance will need the single question mark switch flipped to the owl. Then, flip the double question mark switch to the spider. This door will reward the player with two chests which will hold a collectible and gear.

Library Annex Third Door

The last door in this hidden room will require the double question mark switch to be flipped to a unicorn. Then, flip the single question mark to a lizard. Two chests will be waiting to be opened. The larger chest will have some gear, while the smaller chest will have collectibles.

Grand Staircase

The Grand Staircase is basically a fast travel point that can be utilized earlier in the game. From there, flip the single question mark switch to the beast. Then, flip the double question mark switch to the spider. This door will grant players two chests, which will offer a collectible and some gear. After this puzzle is completed, just head up the stairs for the next one.

Grand Staircase Tower

Up the stairs will be another Arithmancy Door standing there. This one will require the double question mark switch to be flipped to the squid. While the single question mark switch will be turned over into the lizard. As a reward, there will be two chests waiting to be opened. One will have a toy dragon while the other will be holding a golden silk robe. This robe is one of the most difficult adornments to find in Hogwarts Legacy.

Astronomy Wing

From the fast travel point located within the Charms Classroom, head to the back. The Arithmancy Door will be sitting there in plain sight. Turn the single question mark switch to a goat. Then, flip the double question mark switch to a squid. The reward for this puzzle will be two different chests holding a collectible and random gear.

Potions Classroom

Head downstairs from the fast travel point in the Potions Classroom. The Arithmancy Door will be at the bottom of it. Flip the single question mark switch to a goat. Then switch the double question mark switch to a unicorn. As a reward, players will be given a field guide page that’s sitting adjacent to a painting. Thus, two chests will also be available which will have some gear and a collectible.

Central Hall

Near the fast travel point in the Potions Classroom, head down the small flight of stairs. The Arithmancy Door will be at the corner of the lower level. Flip the single question mark switch to a spider. Lastly, flip the double question mark switch to a snake. Once unlocked, the player will find two distinct chests that will hold a collectible and some gear.

Conclusion

Even though finding all the Arithmancy Doors in Hogwarts Legacy is optional, the rewards offered can make all the difference during the playthrough. There is no trophy/achievement available for solving all of them. However, to obtain the Collector’s Edition Trophy/Achievement, it is advised to solve all these puzzles regardless. If a player wants to solve these puzzles on their own accord, a note coding the symbols with the numbers can be found in a chest beside the chalkboard in the Divination Classroom Floo Flame. Hogwarts Legacy is now available for PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
