When you activate the Merlin Trial, a glowing stone will be in front of you, with several butterflies to the north.

You will need to drag the butterflies from the north to the first glowing pillar like the moth puzzles you have likely encountered inside Hogwarts and in several story missions.

Several more butterflies will be northeast of the first Moonstone Pillar, surrounding a previously lit campfire.

Grab these butterflies, and head to the south, where you’ll find the next Moonstone Pillar. You do not have to stop using Lumos for the butterflies to connect to the pillar.

The final butterflies are going to be trickier to find. You will need to make your way to the southeast of the starting location and see them floating in front of a Wizard statue. Make your way down to the slope, and use Lumos to drag them away from this location.

Return to the Merlin Trial starting location and the final Moonstone Pillar outside the ruins. You’ll have completed this Merlin Trial after you’ve brought the butterflies to this location.
