How to Solve the Treasure Vault Chess Puzzle
When you arrive at the treasure vault, use Depulso on both switches to open the way to the main room. Cast Revelio once you get inside.
The chess puzzle solution depends on which item gets highlighted, with your goal to be to check the King. You want to transfigure the item and then move the resulting chess piece into the correct position via Accio.
- Vase: The vase will transform into a Bishop, which can be placed diagonally to check the King.
- Pot: The pot transforms into a Rook, which can check the King by being placed directly in front of it.
- Chair: The chair transforms into a Knight. The Knight can move two squares vertically and one square horizontally. You will want to plan the best way to achieve check ahead of moving it if this is the item you have.
Once you check the King, the treasure vault’s chest will appear near the wall carving. You’ve solved the Treasure Vault chess puzzle! This is the only instance of this particular puzzle, so if you need help with other vaults check out our other Hogwarts Legacy guides.
