How to solve Slytherin Locks in Hogwarts Legacy
Unlocking the Slytherin Locks is part of In The Shadow of the Study quest in which you would help Ominis and Sebastian to get inside Salazar Slytherin’s Scriptorium. Part of the quest requires you to solve Slytherin lock puzzles to gain access to another room. You will find three lock dials with symbols and a snake guarding them on top. To solve the three snake puzzles, you need to match the symbols on the gate with the snake dials.
If you look around the room, you will find three different iron gates with symbols carved at their center. Each gate has two unique symbols which you have to match with the Slytherin locks. Use the correct symbols with the locked dials and the gates will open. Use Q, E to rotate the top dial and A, D for the bottom dial on keyboard, and the equivalent buttons on controllers. All the solutions for the three Slytherin locks are mentioned below.

With this part of the quest done, the door would open up the way inside the Scriptorium. Cast Lumos and take the winding staircase that leads you to a room with a locked door. After using Revelio, you will find a broken stone wall. Use the spell Reparo to build it back up and read the message engraved. You would have to ask Ominis to unlock the door with his Parseltongue.
