Avada Kedavra, the infamous Killing Curse, is a powerful spell in Hogwarts Legacy. But can Ravenclaw students, known for their wisdom and intellect, learn this dark art? This article explores how to obtain Avada Kedavra in Hogwarts Legacy and the implications of wielding such power, regardless of your house.
Unlocking the Unforgivable: Acquiring Avada Kedavra
Learning Avada Kedavra isn’t tied to your Hogwarts House. It’s acquired through a specific questline involving your companion, Sebastian Sallow. You’ll need to progress through his relationship quests, culminating in “In the Shadow of the Relic,” recommended for level 28 players. Prerequisites for this quest include completing “In the Shadow of Hope” and the main story quest “Lodgok’s Loyalty.”
During “In the Shadow of the Relic,” a pivotal conversation with Sebastian presents a choice: “No one should know that curse” or “Everyone should know that curse.” Opting for the latter leads to the opportunity to learn Avada Kedavra. Sebastian will then offer to teach you, giving you another choice: decline or accept. Choosing “Yes please” unlocks the Killing Curse.
Second Chances: Learning Avada Kedavra Later
Missed your chance? Don’t worry. Even if you initially refuse, you can still learn Avada Kedavra later. During the subsequent quest, “In the Shadow of Fate,” you’ll face a decision regarding Sebastian’s actions. Choosing not to turn him in allows you to complete his questline. Afterward, visit Sebastian in the Undercroft, where he’ll offer to teach you any unforgivable curses you haven’t yet learned.
Consequences of Using the Killing Curse
Hogwarts Legacy lacks a morality system. Using Avada Kedavra won’t result in direct in-game punishment. However, companion reactions vary. Some, like Natsai, Ominis, and Amit, disapprove of unforgivable curses. While their disapproval doesn’t impact the story or your relationships, it adds a layer of moral complexity to your choices.
In conclusion, learning Avada Kedavra in Hogwarts Legacy is possible for any witch or wizard, including Ravenclaws. It’s tied to Sebastian Sallow’s questline and your choices within it. While the game doesn’t punish its use mechanically, the moral implications and companion reactions provide a nuanced experience.
