During the opening of Hogwarts Legacy, you'll be hindered on your way to Hogwarts by a dragon and a rogue portkey. As part of your travels, you will stumble across a secret entrance into Gringott's bank, in which you'll have to figure out a statue puzzle to continue on your Hogwarts Legacy journey. If you're struggling to find Professor Fig and to activate the statue puzzle, read here.

Disclaimer: While the creator of the Harry Potter franchise was not directly involved in the creation of Hogwarts Legacy, their comments on social media around transgender people are hurtful and dangerous given the size of their platform. 

We’d implore you to read our explainer of the controversy so far, and consider supporting trans rights charities where possible.

How to find Fig

During the Gringotts's vault sequence, you'll be separated from Professor Fig with only the quest marker to 'Find Fig'.

You'll notice light trails around you, little specks of magic that seem to point in a direction. Walk in the direction indicated by the magic trails as they will lead you back to Fig.

How to activate the statues

Once you're in the room with the statues, you'll see the statue's reflection on the floor. Cast Revelio on the reflection to summon the full form of the statue. To cast Revelio, it should be on your quick slot bar. To cast from a PlayStation 5 save, simply press the left arrow button.

Once you have cast Revelio on the statues, you must also use Lumos and align the statue's reflection using the light.

To cast Lumos on PS5, hold R2 (to bring up the quick cast slots) and direct it at the statue until it has a white outline and has been targeted, then press the triangle button.

Once you have Lumos cast you'll need to move around the statue until its reflection aligns properly. For a single statue, you can line it up by standing directly in front of them.

How to discover the statues' secret

When there are multiple statues, you must line up all reflections at once with a single cast of Lumos. As you cast the spell, you'll notice that each statue emits a white line.

Move until you are standing at the point where all lines meet on the floor. This is the point at which all reflections will align properly with their respective statutes.
