Avada Kedavra is the most powerful of the three unforgivable curses in the Wizarding World. This spell is so powerful that it can kill even the hardest bosses in Hogwarts Legacy with a single blow. However, using any of the curses directly affects the player’s reputation and most of the dialogues.
Still, if you want to become the strongest wizard, nothing can stop you from casting the cursed spells. The only problem is that players can only learn this deadly curse by completing a bunch of side quests.
Therefore, this article explains all there is to know about how to unlock Avada Kedavra in Hogwarts Legacy.
How to learn Avada Kedavra in Hogwarts Legacy?
The killing curse, Avada Kedavra, becomes available for the players near the final chapter of Hogwarts Legacy. You can still learn it temporarily by visiting the Dark Arts Battle Arena. However, to permanently add it to your spell slots, you must complete a number of side quests.
Furthermore, your decision at the end of these quests decides whether you get to learn the spell or not. Here’s how to unlock Avada Kedavra in Hogwarts Legacy:

In the Shadow of the Relic Side Quest:
The only way to learn Avada Kedavra is by completing the In the Shadow of the Relic side quest for Sebastian Sallow. However, this quest becomes available after you reach character level 28. Furthermore, you must also have completed the following quests before you can start it:
- “In the Shadow of Hope” Relationship Quest.
- “Lodgok’s Loyalty” Main Story Quest.
- Learn both Crucio and Imperio curses.
- Learn the Bombarda spell.
Once you start the In the Shadow of the Relic quest, you will meet Anne and Ominis near the Feldcroft Catacomb. Head inside the Catacomb and run along the path till you find several Inferi beasts inside. You must defeat several waves of Inferi in order to reach Sabastian.
Next, you will fight alongside Sabastian to defeat Solomon and several waves of Inferi. Finally, Sabastian casts Avada Kedavra on Solomon to kill him once and for all.
After Anne disappears with her uncle, Sabastian tries to explain himself. Here, your choice of whether to agree with him or not decides if you get to learn the Avada Kedavra spell.
So, you must carefully choose the correct answers (the bolded ones) for the two prompts:
The first prompt appears with the following options:
- No one should know that curse.
- Everyone should know that curse.
Next, Sabastian will offer to teach you the killing curse. So, for the second prompt, you must choose:
- Now is not the time.
- Yes, please.
After completing the dialogue, you must solve the spell-learning puzzle to unlock the Avada Kedavra spell. Now, you can allocate it to one of the spell slots and use it whenever it is completely recharged.
Moreover, the spell has a 90-second long cooldown period. So, make sure not to completely rely on it in all your fights.
How to learn Avada Kedavra after the quest?
If you choose the other options at the end of the In the Shadow of the Relic side quest, Sabastian will not teach you Avada Kedavra. However, you can still learn it afterward through another dialogue later on in the game. Till then, you will be limited only to using Avada Kedavra in the Dark Arts Battle Arena.
If you want to learn the killing curse afterward, you must complete the In the Shadow of Fate side quest. At the end of this quest, you will be given the following choices:
- We should turn Sebastian in.
- We must not turn Sebastian in.
Speak with Sabastian after choosing the second option and completing his relationship quest lines.
You can meet Sabastian in the Undercroft region, where he will offer to show you any of the three unforgivable curses that you may have missed. Choose Avada Kedavra during this dialogue to learn the killing curse.
After this part, it is impossible to learn Avada Kedavra, making it your last chance. So, make sure to pay great attention when completing Sabastian’s relationship quests.

Casting any of the three unforgivable curses in Hogwarts Legacy comes with a few consequences.

However, it will neither change the main story nor your relationship with the NPCs during the side quests.

Avada Kedavra works in the same way as any other spell in Hogwarts Legacy. First, you must learn the spell by completing the In the Shadow of the Relic side quest and selecting the right choices. Next, you must allocate the spell to one of the slots. Finally, cast the spell while looking at your enemy to kill him instantly. However, the spell has a long cooldown period, making it useless for a period of 90 seconds (3 minutes) before you can use it again.
