How to learn the Avada Kedavra curse in Hogwarts Legacy

You won't be able to add it to your arsenal right away, but with a bit of legwork, you can be casting the unforgivable curse and dominating the battlefield.

What You Need

  • Hogwarts Legacy

Best of all, Hogwarts Legacy doesn't use a morality system, so you should have no qualms about using the taboo curse when confronted with a challenging enemy. Here's a look at how to learn the Avada Kedavra curse in Hogwarts Legacy, including all other details you need to know before using the spell. It'll take quite a bit of time to unlock Avada Kedavra, but no doubt it's worth the effort.

How to learn Avada Kedavra

Avada Kedavra is the last of the unforgivable curses you can learn in Hogwarts Legacy. Just like the others, you will unlock it by progressing through Sebastian Sallows’ relationship quest chain. If you haven’t been keeping up with those, you will need to first complete all prior parts of his quest, including “In the Shadow of Hope,” as well as the main quest called “Lodgok’s Loyalty.” Once those requirements are met, you will unlock the one titled “In the Shadow of the Relic.” This is a level-28 quest, so make sure you’re properly leveled before taking it on.

Do the quest as normal until you speak with Sebastion outside of a dungeon and are given two dialogue options. If you want to learn the curse, you should naturally select the phrase, “Everyone should know that curse.” Just in case you get cold feet, Sebastian will give you one last chance to back out. As long as you’re sure, pick “Yes please” to learn the curse.

Keep in mind that there are no in-game consequences for using Avada Kedavra, or any of the other unforgivable curses, in Hogwarts Legacy. Other characters may comment on it, but it won’t have any real impact.

Your grand plans for the perfect kingdom will be thwarted before they even begin if you can't figure out how to increase your population to help build that dream. There are two main factors you need to understand to grow a population, but one is a bit less clear.

Naming your budding village is a great start, but your coat of arms is a visual representation of your kingdom that appears far more prominently. When you are starting a new game, you will have a decent selection of symbols, designs, and colors to make something cool from, but there's far from endless freedom. You do have the ability to create any coat of arms you want, though it does take some extra work outside of the game itself. Here's how it works.
