How Do You Open the Main Gate in Hogwarts Legacy?

To open the main gate in Hogwarts Legacy, players must unleash Depulso on the mechanism a few times, then use Accio to pull the handle. Those who don’t have these spells can learn Accio from Charms class (at the beginning of the game) and Depulso from Professor Sharp’s first assignment. Nonetheless, since the main gate unlocking procedure is a bit complex, we’ll explain it in further detail.

When you cast a spell on the object, you’ll notice that the barrier doesn’t go up all the way, ultimately blocking the handle to the main gate. Therefore, you must continuously perform Depulso on the mechanism until you have a clear shot to unlock the entrance of the High Keep.

Then, you must switch to Accio and target the handle quickly since the barrier will eventually come back down.
