You'll need to climb the battlements in Hogwarts Legacy for the High Wall mission. It sounds simple but it's an objective that can suffer from unclear direction and twitchy physics, leaving you at a loss for what you actually need to do. I got completely stuck on it despite it basically being a simple thing to do once you understand what's going on.
The High Wall mission involves meeting Natty at Falbarton Castle, east of Hogsmeade, which leads you to trying to climb the battlements. The problem comes when you reach a wall that's too high to climb, and you can't use your broom to fly up. The solution, while unclear and imprecise, sees you using a box and a Leviosa spell to make a step up. Assuming the game's physics lets you get it in just the right place.
When you're facing the wall you need to climb, turn to the left and you'll see a portcullis with a box behind it and a spinner to the left. Use Depulso on the switch to lift up the portcullis and then you can use Accio to grab the box.
Once you have the box, take it and position it underneath the high wall you need to climb. Use Wingardium Leviosa to raise it up and then climb on top of it. Now, for me that didn't work immediately - so you can also stand on the box first and then use Leviosa to raise it up with you on it.
However it works, the raised box will give you leg up you need to climb to the higher level and carry on the mission. After that, the rest of the High Keep mission is relatively straightforward, and will actually get you access to Hogwarts Legacy mounts at the end too.
The release of Hogwarts Legacy has been the subject of criticism and debate due to J.K. Rowling’s public stance on gender identity, which continues to challenge the inclusivity at the heart of the Harry Potter community. Here is our explainer on the Hogwarts Legacy controversy.
