How to Use Avada Kedavra

Unleash your talent to affect all enemies

It is recommended to unleash your talent to affect all enemies with Avada Kedavra. When you unleash your talent, the instant death effect of Avada Kedavra will affect all cursed enemies. Enhancing your Dark Arts talent allows you to efficiently inflict curses on enemies, so it is recommended to enhance your Dark Arts talent.

Use against a single powerful enemy

It is also recommended to use Avada Kedavra against a single powerful enemy. When Avada Kedavra hits, the enemy will be defeated in one blow regardless of their remaining health. Use it against tough opponents with high health.

Effects of Avada Kedavra

Defeat enemies in one blow

Avada Kedavra is the most powerful spell in Hogwarts Legacy and has the effect of defeating enemies in one blow. Additionally, when you unleash your talent, it has the effect of wiping out enemies cursed by the spell, making it undoubtedly the strongest spell in this game.

The long cooldown is a drawback

The cooldown of Avada Kedavra is approximately 90 seconds. This is significantly longer compared to other spells. If you are unleashing your talent, it is recommended to spread curses and then annihilate the enemies the moment the cooldown is over.

Talk to Sebastian in the Undercroft

Even if you choose the wrong option in the quest, if Sebastian is in the Undercroft, you can learn Avada Kedavra at any time. Examine the hidden door near the staircase in the Defense Against the Dark Arts Tower and talk to Sebastian.

Cannot Learn After Sebastian's Expulsion
