Hogwarts may seem like a sweet and innocent place where kids go to learn an abundance of spells to help them in life, but there are some darker undertones below the surface. In Hogwarts Legacy, not only will you be learning a range of handy skills to assist you in day-to-day life but there are also a few forbidden ones to get a hold of.

It may be a surprise to realize that not only is Avada Kedavra in the world of Hogwarts Legacy but it’s also a spell you can use in the game. If you’re curious to see just when and how you can use it, here’s everything you need to know about the famous spell in the game.

Disclaimer: While the creator of the Harry Potter franchise was not directly involved in the creation of Hogwarts Legacy, their comments on social media around transgender people are hurtful and dangerous given the size of their platform. 

We’d implore you to read our explainer of the controversy so far, and consider supporting trans rights charities where possible.

How to learn Avada Kedavra in Hogwarts Legacy

In order to learn Avada Kedavra, you will have to venture a fair way into Hogwarts Legacy if you want to unlock it. Firstly, you'll need to complete almost all of the quests that Sebastian has to offer in the game.

Keep an eye out for a quest titled 'In The Shadow Of The Relic' - this is the one that you need to complete to unlock Avada Kedavra in Hogwarts Legacy.

This quest is locked behind character level 28, so you'll need to play almost to the very end of the game to be able to take on this challenge. In fact, the final mission in the main story is actually set at a few levels below level 28, so, likely, you won't be able to use Avada Kedavra until you've finished your playthrough.

Nevertheless, once you've complete the 'In The Shadow Of The Relic' quest, you should be able to use Avada Kedavra in the remaining side quests that you have left to complete.
