The pinnacle of infamy in the Wizarding World, the Unforgivable Curses are an integral part of Hogwarts Legacy gameplay. We explain how to unlock them.
[Updated 21 Feb 2023 2:17 PM] In Hogwarts Legacy, you join the ranks of Hogwarts students straight into fifth year. You will therefore have to catch up extremely quickly if you intend to face the dangers of the wizarding world with brilliance, and even unlock its darkest secrets. Because in the world of magic of the 19th century, the laws are not as strict as we knew them in the epic of Harry Potter, and you will also be required to unlock the famous Unforgivable Spells during your journey. We explain how to do it.
To unlock the Dark Legacy quest which will allow you to search for the Unforgivable Spells, you will need to advance in the main quest until you reach the “Welcome to Hogsmeade” section, especially after defeating the attacking troll the village. Your interactions with Sebastian Sallow will allow you to unlock the Unforgivable Curses quest line, recognizable by their prefix “In the Shadow of…” Also check that you have opened the letters from Sebastian, which marks the beginning of the quest Dark Legacy.
Unforgivable Curses are quite common in Hogwarts Legacy, or at least they seem easier to use than in the Harry Potter universe. Your Dark Legacy quest takes you and Sebastian Sallow down a treacherous path and to the edge of morality. New dialogue options will appear if you choose to adopt this Dark Magic, and some characters may hold it against you. Also, you can still complete Dark Legacy quests and refuse to learn Unforgivable Spells, so you don’t run out of content even if you want to stay on the good side of magic.
