In Hogwarts Legacy, all Trials of Merlin will be unlocked as soon as you complete the Trials of Merlin main story quest, which serves as a kind of tutorial on how the Trials of Merlin works. During the Trials of Merlin quest, you will complete your first Trial of Merlin under the guidance of Nora Treadwell. This Trial of Merlin takes place near the small village of Lower Hogsfield, which sits on the shores of Black Lake, south of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. But it’s not the only Merlin Trial near Lower Hogsfield. There’s another on the other side of town, on the western slope.

How to complete Merlin’s Trial near Lower Hogsfield
The Lower Hogsfield Merlin Trial is the type of Merlin Trial where your objective is to move three sets of balls through three sets of holes. It’s possible to move bullets with any kinetic spell, like Accio or Depulso, but those types of Merlin’s Trials are much, much easier if you use Wingardium Leviosa, which you can learn by completing Professor Task 1 Garlick.

If you’re having trouble finding any of the balls or holes, run Revelio. This will highlight both the balls and the holes in bright blue. Fill all the holes with bullets and you will have completed the Lower Hogsfield Merlin Trial.
