Climbing the ramparts of Hogwarts Legacy for the High Wall quest is one of those boring sections where you can come to a complete stop for no clear reason. Personally, I got incredibly stuck on it, because it felt like everything I was doing wasn’t working. But it should be easy and it finally is.
In the High Wall quest, you meet Natty at Falbarton Castle, east of Hogsmeade, and one of your first challenges in the quest is to scale the ramparts. But, the second wall you have to climb is much higher than anything else in the game, and you can’t use your broom.
Instead, you’ll need to use a box and Leviosa magic. So when you face the seemingly impassable wall, turn left and you’ll see a portcullis with a crate behind it and a spinning wheel to the left. Use Depulso on the switch and the portcullis will open, then you can use Accio to grab the box.

Take the box and place it under the problematic wall. Use Wingardium Leviosa to lift it then climb on it.
Now for me it didn’t work right away so you can just stand on the box and then use Leviosa to lift it with you.

After that, the rest of the High Keep quest is relatively straightforward, and upon completion it will also grant you access to the Hogwarts Legacy mounts.
The release of Hogwarts Legacy has been the subject of criticism and debate due to JK Rowling’s public stance on gender identity, which continues to challenge inclusion at the heart of the Harry Potter community. Here is our explanation on the Hogwarts legacy controversy (opens in a new tab).
