Walkthrough: In the Shadow of the Relic

Talk to Ominis outside the Catacombs

Map location	Appearance

The quest, "In the Shadow of the Relic'" starts by talking to Ominis outside the Catacombs. Fast traveling to Feldcroft Catacombs is quick, but if it's not available yet, head there from Feldcroft by riding a mount or a broomstick.

Proceed to the room with an altar and defeat the Inferi

Enemies that appear	Effective spells
	Confringo Incendio

Go to the room with an altar where the bone barricade was and defeat the Inferi with Ominis. Most of the attacks of the Inferi are nullified. Take advantage of their weak points and use Confringo or Incendio to ignite them, nullify their resistance, and defeat them.

Collect the missed elements if you have time

A large amount of items and equipment, including unidentified legendary items, are found in the Catacombs. If you have time and Wiggenweld, consider exploring them to take any missed items using the detour steps in "In the Shadow of Time."

After parting with Ominis, head East from the square

After defeating the Inferi and parting ways with Ominis, continue heading East from the square. The path that was blocked in the previous quest "In the Shadow of Time" is now passable, allowing you to proceed.

Create stairs using Accio on the bones

If you follow the blocked path, you will see a room with the Inferi and Sebastian at the top of the steps. There are bones in the left and right drawers, so use Accio to pull them out and bring them to the center, then create a staircase of bones to move forward.

Defeat Solomon Sallow

After watching Sebastian's scene, the boss battle with the wizard Solomon will begin. Solomon has a lot of health and repeats warp at regular intervals, making it difficult to deal damage and requiring long battles. Steadily reduce his HP while reducing his chances of being hit by evasion and Protego.

In the battle against Solomon, if you hit him with Accio and then slam him into the terrain with Depulso, you may be able to deal more than 4 digits of damage in one blow. It's a good idea to aim for it while destroying the barrier, as it gives you a chance to reduce his HP at once.

Ignore the Inferi around you.

The Inferi that appear during the battle against Solomon will spawn indefinitely depending on the passage of time and the current number of dead. No matter how many times you defeat him, you won't be able to annihilate him, so ignore the Inferi around him and attack only Solomon.

Exit the graveyard and learn Avada Kedavra

After you defeat Solomon and the event plays, follow Sebastian out of the graveyard. In the conversation at the exit of the tomb, select "Everyone should know that curse" and "Yes please", and you'll learn the strongest spell, "Avada Kedavra", and complete the quest.

In addition, Even if you choose the incorrect option, you can always learn it by talking to Sebastian in the Undercroft. After completing the quest, talk to Sebastian in the Undercroft.

Unable to learn if Sebastian drops out of school

If Sebastian is expelled from school during the "In the Shadow of Fate," there will be no way to learn the Unforgivable Curse. "Hogwarts Legacy" does not have a repeat play. If you expel a student, you will no longer be able to learn the Unforgivable Curse with that save data, so be careful when deciding whether or not to expel a student.

Unforgivable Curse: Avada Kedavra

If you answer correctly during the quest, you will be able to learn the unforgivable curse, "Avada Kedavra." If you want to learn Avada Kedavra, select the options in the order of "Everyone should know that curse" and "Yes please".

Has the effect of defeating the enemy hit with one blow.

Although Avada Kedavra has a long cooldown, it has the brutal effect of defeating the opponent in one blow. It doesn't matter how much HP you have left, so it's recommended to use it in battles against tough enemies.
