In Hogwarts Legacy, you play as a fifth-year student with access to the Dark Arts, including the notorious Unforgivable Curses. While it may seem alarming, these powerful spells can be invaluable when facing dangerous adversaries like poachers and Deatheaters.
Here’s how you can unlock and wield these formidable curses:
Crucio (Cruciatus Curse)
- Requirement: Level 16 and completion of “The High Keep” quest
- Quest: “In the Shadow of the Study”
- Effect: Inflicts damage over time on the target
- Tip: Enhance its potency with the Crucio Mastery talent
Imperio (Imperius Curse)
- Requirement: Complete Professor Weasley’s assignments until “In the Shadow of the Mine” is available
- Quest: “In the Shadow of Time”
- Effect: Compels the target to fight for you
- Tip: Boost its effectiveness with Enduring Curse and Imperio Mastery
Avada Kedavra (Killing Curse)
- Requirement: Level 24 and completion of “Lodgok’s Loyalty” and “In the Shadow of Hope” quests
- Quest: “In the Shadow of the Relic”
- Tip: When prompted, choose the option “Everyone should know that curse”
To unlock these curses, you must progress through Sebastian Sallow’s questline. He’ll offer to teach you each curse at specific points in his story. While you can decline his offer without consequence, be mindful that this choice may become unavailable later on.
Embrace the power of the Dark Arts in Hogwarts Legacy, but remember, with great power comes great responsibility. Use these curses wisely as you navigate the dangers lurking in the wizarding world.
