Hogwarts Legacy – How to Get Imperio
Three of Harry Potter’s forbidden curses are included in Hogwarts Legacy. If you’re playing a “ethical” character, you won’t be punished for utilising these black magic spells, but you won’t have access to some of the game’s most potent abilities either. How to acquire Imperio in Hogwarts Legacy is detailed below.
Hogwarts Legacy: Unlocking the Unforgivable Kill Curses
The three Unforgivable Curses may only be learned through side missions offered by Slytherin student Sebastian Swallow, and are not part of the main questline of Hogwarts Legacy. The quest In the Shadow of Time is where you’ll learn Imperio, and it happens sometime in the middle of the game.
The following is a complete list of the Sabastian quests that must be accomplished in order to get access to Imperio and the other Unforgivable Curses.
In the Shadow of the Bloodline
In the Shadow of the Study (Crucio)
In the Shadow of Discovery
In the Shadow of Time (Imperio)
In the Shadow of Distance
In the Shadow of Hope
In the Shadow of the Relic (Avada Kedavra)
Sabastian asks you during the In the Shadow of Time task whether you’re sure you want to study the Imperio spell. The game provides a variety of yes and no alternatives, however selecting “yes” is necessary for progression.
In Imperio, you may briefly recruit your adversaries as allies. As long as they are under Imperio’s command, adversaries will deal less damage to them. After the spell’s influence wears off, the victim will become cursed and endure increased harm.
