Hogwarts Legacy has 95 Merlin Trial Locations. Finding and completing all Trials of Merlin unlocks the Merlin’s Beard!trophy & achievement. They reward you with increased inventory size which can be claimed from the Challenges Menu. Under Exploration Challenges click on the completed tiers of Merlin Trials to receive the inventory size increase.
Merlin Trials first become available after Main Quest #15: Trials of Merlin. After this they all spawn in the open world. None of them are in Hogwarts Castle, they are all outside. Each trial requires Mallowsweet Leaves to be started. Mallowsweet Leavescan be grown at potting tables in the Room of Requirement or the Greenhouse in Hogwarts. The Mallowsweet Seed Recipe is bought from The Magic Neep shop in Hogsmeade, then you can grow it infinitely for free. The fastest way is to first finish Main Quest #21:The Room of Requirement, then you can place 7 Potting Tables, each will yield 5 Mallowsweetper 10 minutes (x7 tables = 35 mallowsweetevery 10 minutes).
None of the Merlin Trials are missable. You can still do all of them after the story in free-roam. To keep track of how many you found, fully zoom out on the map and check the region-counter in the top right corner. It shows how many Merlin Trials there are per region and how many you completed. They all get marked on the map when you go near them. On PS5 you can also track your total progress via the trophy tracker.This guide starts in South Hogwarts Region where the first story-related trial takes place, then we’ll go through all other regions from north to south.
