Hogwarts Legacy: How to Obtain and Use Imperio in Imperio

How to Obtain Imperio

Unlocked Through the Quest "In the Shadow of Time"

Imperio can be learned by choosing the correct option in Sebastian's relationship quest, "In the Shadow of Time." "In the Shadow of Time" is a post-game quest that becomes available after a certain amount of time has passed since the relationship quest "In the Shadow of Discovery."

Furthermore, "In the Shadow of Discovery" appears in the main quest, "Fire and Vice" post-game quests. To progress through the series of quests, first focus on advancing the main quest.

Choose the Option "I want to learn the incantation of obedience"

Imperio can be learned by choosing the option "I want to learn the incantation of obedience." If you choose "I don't want to learn the incantation of obedience," you will not learn it, so choose your options carefully. Selecting the last two options will only trigger a conversation and return you to the options again.

How to Use Imperio

When You Want to Reduce the Number of Enemies

Use Imperio when surrounded by multiple enemies to reduce their numbers. Enemies controlled by Imperio will temporarily become your ally, allowing you to weaken enemy forces and strengthen your own.

When You Want to Curse Multiple Enemies

Once you unlock the talent of Imperio, use it when you want to curse multiple enemies. When Imperio is unlocked, the enemies attacked by the controlled enemy will also be cursed. The more the controlled enemy attacks, the more the cursed enemies will increase, so depending on the target, you can efficiently spread the curse.

Effects of Imperio

Has the Effect of Turning Hit Targets into Allies

Imperio has the effect of temporarily controlling hit targets and making them fight as allies. By using Imperio, you can temporarily reduce the number of enemies and increase the number of allies, making it an effective magic when facing multiple enemies.

How to Learn Imperio that You Missed

Talk to Sebastian in the Underground Cathedral

Even if you choose the wrong option in the quest, if Sebastian is in the underground cathedral, you can learn Imperio at any time. Investigate the hidden door near the staircase of "Defense Against the Dark Arts Tower" and talk to Sebastian.

Cannot Learn After Sebastian's Expulsion

If you expel Sebastian based on the choices in "In the Shadow of Fate," you will lose the method of learning the unforgivable incantation. "Hogwarts Legacy" does not have replayability, and once expelled, you can never learn the unforgivable incantation in that save data. Therefore, decide carefully whether to expel or not.
