Crucio is the first Unforgivable Curse you can learn in Hogwarts Legacy. During the quest “In the Shadow of the Study” you have the choice to learn the powerful curse or not. In this guide, we will take a detailed look at the quest and the Cruciatus Curse.
What Is Crucio?
Crucio is a spell in Hogwarts Legacy. Crucio is one of the Unforgivable Curses in the Harry Potter universe, along with Avada Kedavra and Imperio.
While casting Unforgivable Curses is forbidden in the Harry Potter books and films, it has no negative consequences in-game. Since there is no moral system or similar, you can only become evil to a limited extent in Hogwarts Legacy. Accordingly, there are no disadvantages to using Unforgivable Curses.
Learn Crucio At Hogwarts Legacy
To learn Crucio in Hogwarts Legacy you have to follow the story and complete quests. The quest line around the companion Sebastian Sallow takes you to the Slytherin Scriptorium around the middle of the game.
The quest for this is called In the Shadow of the Study. In Zockify’s guide to In the Shadow of the Study, you will learn how to solve the individual puzzles of the companion quests.
Toward the end of the quest, you will come to a point where you can decide whether or not your character should learn Crucio. If you want to learn Crucio, you can also decide whether you want to cast the spell on Sebastian or have him cast it on your character.
If Sebastian casts the curse on your character, there is a short cutscene, but otherwise no consequences for your character. This is therefore a safe option that you can choose without fear of any negative effects.
Learn Crucio or Not?
Crucio is a powerful spell in Hogwarts Legacy. He immobilizes the opponent and deals damage. Since you often have to take on multiple opponents at once in Hogwarts Legacy, being able to temporarily take an opponent out of combat with Crucio is very helpful. In addition, the animation of Crucio feels very strong.
Why Learn Crucio?
- Crucio is more powerful than other spells with similar effects.
- The Dark Arts talents have strong synergies, making Crucio even stronger.
- Overall, Dark Arts are significantly more powerful than normal spells. Those who follow this path do not want to miss Crucio.
- If you don’t learn Crucio in the quest, you may lose the spell forever with that character. There is currently no known way to catch up on learning Crucio.
- There are no known disadvantages to the game. Even your companions will not respond if you use Unforgivable Curses in their presence.
- Just because you learn this curse doesn’t mean you have to use it. There are “good” wizards in the Harry Potter universe, who have mastered Crucio but would never use it. Learning the curse may not be automatically unforgivable.
What speaks against learning Crucio?
- If you enjoy Hogwarts Legacy as an immersive role-playing game and want to live out a specific fantasy of your character, Dark Arts might not fit. Crucio is an Unforgivable Curse, after all, and using this spell is, as the name suggests, unforgivable.
