How to learn the Unforgivable Curses in Hogwarts Legacy?

Hogwarts Legacy is The ‘game’ now, especially for members of the fandom like me. It manifests our dream of attending Hogwarts and lets us live the life of a fifth year filled with adventures and missions.

No one could forget the Unforgivable Curses from the Harry Potter series. Illegal and outlawed by the Ministry of Magic, it was used by the Death Eaters. The Spells can be learned in Hogwarts Legacy, too. However, it is optional and can be rejected, and the quests associated with it can be completed without learning the Spells.

Do you wish to be a law-abiding witch or wizard, or do you wish to dabble in the Dark Arts? If your answer is the latter, you have come to the right place!

The Unforgivable Curses are taught to the characters in Hogwarts Legacy only by Sebastian Sallow, a Slytherin, during Sallow’s side quests, In the Shadow of the Study, In the Shadow of Time, and In the Shadow of the Relic.
