To get to this quest, players will need to complete the “Welcome To Hogsmeade” quests, after which they will receive an Owl from Sebastian which can set them off on the path of unlocking some seriously dark magic… should players choose. Each of these Unforgivable Curses can be unlocked by completing Sebastian Sallow’s optional Dark Legacy questline.

These are Crusio, the torture curse Imperious, the mind control curse and Avada Kedavra, the killing curse. Now that you know what the potential consequences of dabbling in this kind of magic are, let’s talk about how to unlock it:Īs with the lore the game pulls inspiration from, there are three Unforgivable Curses to learn in Hogwarts Legacy. While you don’t have to fear that the wizardry police are standing by to ship you off to Azkaban, players will risk damaging their relationships with fellow students and other NPCs – although, aside from some shocked gasps and some verbal berating, students shouldn’t suffer much more in the way of moral punishment. However, this doesn’t mean there are zero consequences of any kind if you choose to walk this dark path. However, their use is strictly forbidden on Hogwarts grounds and blocked outright. Throughout students’ time at Hogwarts, they will get the opportunity to learn and use each of the three curses. And for those eager to explore the darker side of magic, there are almost no consequences. Hogwarts Legacy takes a far more casual approach to these curses. Using any of these curses was considered a heinous crime punishable by a life sentence in Azkaban – if you’re lucky. Unforgivable Curses have always played a large part in the mythos of the Harry Potter universe. I’ve always wanted the chance to live my best dark-side life but not at the cost of the game’s story. When I first heard about Hogwarts Legacy, I was instantly intrigued about how morality surrounding dark magic and Unforgivable Curses would work.
