Discover how to unlock and cast the Killing Curse, Avada Kedavra, in Hogwarts Legacy. Follow our guide to learn this Unforgivable Curse during Sebastian's questline.
Alright, so you're looking to learn the Killing Curse, Avada Kedavra, in Hogwarts Legacy? It's definitely one of the most sought-after spells, and I can help you get it. The good news is that it's absolutely possible to learn it in the game. The not-so-great news is that it's tied to the later stages of the main story and requires you to progress through Sebastian's personal questline.
You'll need to be around level 25 and pretty far into the main story. Specifically, you'll be working on Sebastian's relationship quests, and the one that unlocks Avada Kedavra is called “In The Shadow Of The Relic.” You'll get this quest through your owl post, so keep an eye on your in-game mail system.
Once you get the quest, you'll head over to the Catacombs. Just follow the mission objectives as they appear. The key moment comes when you have a conversation with Sebastian. You'll be presented with a few dialogue choices, and to 100% guarantee you learn Avada Kedavra, you need to pick these two options:
- Everyone should know the curse
- Yes
After you've made those choices, you'll need to complete a spell puzzle, and then bam! You'll unlock the spell. From there, you can start using it on your enemies, and yes, it will kill regular living creatures instantly.
Just a heads-up, you can also learn the other Unforgivable Curses from Sebastian. Crucio is available during the “In The Shadow Of Time” quest, and Imperio is part of the “In The Shadow Of Study” quest. Both of these unlock earlier in his storyline than Avada Kedavra, so you can get those first if you like. Generally, you can start pursuing these relationship quests after you've completed the broom quests and met the main characters.
