The Hogwarts Legacy has arrived, and there are a slew of different locations to explore, characters to meet, enemies to fight, and spells to learn. You'll spend the first couple hours of your playthrough learning all of the basic spells, and will have a guided tour of Hogwarts. As the game progresses, you may see options guiding you toward a darker path.
You'll be sent down the dark wizardly rabbit hole once you've explored these avenues. However, many players in the early game are unsure when these will be available.
This is all you need to know about Hogwarts Legacy's Unforgivable Curses.
When do you unlock the Unforgivable Curses in Hogwarts Legacy?
The Hogwarts Legacy enlists wizards and witches in the Harry Potter universe, where a Vavada Kedavra spell might spell your doom.
Unforgivable Curses are broken into three categories:
- Avada Kedavra — The Killing Curse unlocked with the “In The Shadow of The Relic” quest.
- Crucio — The Cruciatus Curse unlocked with the “In the Shadow of the Study” quest.
- Imperio — The Imperius Curse unlocked with the “In The Shadows Of Time” quest.
Sebastian Sallow's quest line allows you to unlock all three of these spells quickly and easily. So, if you want to speedrun a dark wizard playthrough, do your homework as early and often as you can.
Any enemy you see near you will be shot one-shot, killing them.
Sebastian is one of the more interesting characters that you'll meet during your Hogwarts adventure, although his motives are certainly questionable. Eventually, you'll discover the Avada Kedavra spell. The quest that'll provide the killing curse is called "In The Shadow of The Relic."
In the quest, you'll arrive at an Inferi-filled cave. After you've defeated a certain opponent, the Avada Kedavra killing spell will be acquired.
As your battle progresses, this particular spell will torture your foes, causing them to lose health.
In the mission "In the Shadow of the Study," you'll be accompanied by Ominis Gaunt and Sebastian on a quest to discover what happened to Notctua Gaunt. Along your journeys, you'll find a door that requires the unforgivable spell to be used. As soon as that's done, you've got yourself the Crucio spell.
This quest in particular includes some difficult puzzles for opening Slytherin's doors.
This spell will assist you in gaining control of your foes.
Sebastian's negative influence will lead you on your journey to uncovering the Imperius curse. Players will begin the "In The Shadows Of Time" quest, leading them and Sebastian to Feldcroft. As the quest progresses, you'll enter a crypt to find an ancient relic.
