You can find the Pheonix Mountain Cave Treasure Vault in the Poidsear Coast part of the map. This will be closer to the southern area of Hogwarts, and Phoenix Mountain Cave is in the eastern region of Poidsear Coast. The treasure vault is east of the fast travel location.

I was able to reach the Phoenix Mountain Cave Treasure on foot and had to fight a handful of enemies to reach this location in Hogwarts Legacy. Thankfully, the fast travel location to the west of the treasure should make it much easier to find, or you can use one of the others, to the south or the east.

When you arrive, the treasure vault will be locked, and the only way to open it is to use the levers to the left and right of the entrance. You can activate these levers using Depulso until the entrance opens. You must quickly switch between the two levers to properly open it in Hogwarts Legacy.

When you arrive inside the treasure vault, multiple chess pieces will be scattered across a makeshift board. To solve the puzzle in Hogwarts Legacy, use the chair in the corner, which requires you to know the Transformation spell. You must continue progressing through the main story if you do not have this spell unlocked. You’ll also need to utilize the Accio or Wingardium Leviosa spells to bring the chair to a specific location, to the back of the room, close to the black King chess piece.

The exact location will have it in an ‘L’ shape of the King. This will be one space in front of the King and then two to the right of it. Use the Transformation spell on the chair, and it will become a Knight, you’ll have solved the puzzle, and you can claim the prize in the back of the cave in Hogwarts Legacy.
