Hogwarts Legacyguide: How to complete Percival Rackham’s Trial
TheHogwarts LegacyPercival Rackham’s Trial quest followsJackdaw’s Restand several other assignments/minor tasks. You should receive it after taking Professor Fig to the Map Chamber, whereupon he’ll tell you the location of a tower to the north. Make sure the quest is being actively tracked and make your way there. You’re informed that Goblin enemies here can be instantly killed if you sneak up on them and usePetrificus Totalus, and you should do just that. However, a group of Goblins will also appear, and they’re ready for you. Take them out with the help of Professor Fig.
After this part, run to the tower’s entrance. Professor Fig will open it for you. This is important: keep a manual save here. That’s because you may encounter a bug that prevents further progression. Basically, when you climb to the top of the tower, you should be able to talk to Professor Rackham’s portrait. If there’s no image there, it’s not that Rackham is out on vacation. Rather, it’s a bug and you’ll have no choice but to reload your save.
If you’re able to talk to Rackham, head back to the base of the tower and cast Revelio. Look for dark wisps on the ground and cast Revelio again to spawn a portal.
The Dungeon’s Platform Puzzles

No, it’s not the one that killed Sirius Black when he stupidly stood in front of it only to get blasted. These are just regular portals that change the layout of the room if you pass through repeatedly. The goal, therefore is this:
Here’s the gist:
