Avada Kedavra, the Killing Curse, is one of the most powerful curses and the only spell with the ability to kill. It is one of the most effective spells in the Harry Potter series, and many gamers have taken time to master its execution.

So, will it be in Hogwarts Legacy? Hogwarts Legacy is here with us, and we can confirm that players can make the Avada Kedavra spell. Here is everything we know about the spell based on Hogwarts Legacy gameplay and storyline.

Hogwarts Legacy Avada Kedavra

If you have watched or played any Harry Potter games, you are familiar with Avada Kedavra. If not, it is the most lethal spell a player can perform. The latest game title, Hogwarts Legacy, retains the powerful spell, and players can cast it.

The game’s trailer hinted that the spell would be available in the part where we saw the player fighting in the Dark Battle Arena. This is a place where players can cast the most powerful and forbidden. The arena is only accessible by players who have the Digital Deluxe or Deluxe game editions. Another alternative is to unlock the arena through an in-app purchase. The main benefit of unlocking the arena is facing tough enemies for rewards.

From the gameplay in the trailer, we saw the player using the Crucio spell to eliminate the enemy. This is another effective spell, but less powerful than the Avada Kedavra. The Crucio spell is powerful; however, the Avada Kedavra can take out a troll with a full health bar.

How to Use the Avada Kedavra Spell

Hogwarts Legacy allows players to learn how to effectively use the available spells, including the Avada Kedavra, through the wizard school. This spell is the last player learns, and it is unlockable after completing the game’s main storyline.

The Avada Kedavra is one of the three unforgivable curses. Players can only unlock these curses by playing Sebastian Sallow’s side quest, and the Avada Kedavra is the final curse.

To get the curse, you must complete the Shadow of Relic quest and collect it with other rewards. Players must attain level 28 to take on the Shadow Relic side quest, which is only possible after completing the main storyline. This review is not a spoiler, and we wish to keep game details to a minimum.

What Are the Three Unforgivable Curses In Hogwarts Legacy?

The three unforgivable curses are the most lethal and effective spells a player can attempt in Hogwarts Legacy. These curses are only available after the gamer completes the main storyline, and they include the following:

1. Imperio

Imperio is a powerful spell that is like an order spell. The victim becomes obedient and follows anything they are told. It is the lightest spell of the three.

2. Crucio

The Crucio is a much more lethal spell compared to Imperio. This unforgivable curse inflicts massive pain on the victim.

3. Avada Kedavra

This is the most lethal of all and kills instantly. The spell effectively takes out a victim with a full health bar.

Can Avada Kedavra Be Stopped

The Avada Kedara, alongside the other two unforgivable curses, is powerful and the best to use on your tougher enemies. As much as it is fun to use them, you might fall victim to these dangerous chants, and you’ll understand why everyone is afraid of them.

Is there a way to stop the Avada Kedavra spell?

The Avada Kedavra is a lethal spell; the only way to stop it is to block it. The spell can be blocked when it directly collides with a second spell which negates the AK. This is the only proven way to stop its effects. The blockage tactic got proved in Fantastic Beast 3 when Dumbledore successfully clocked it using the golden magic spell.

Therefore, if you ever fall on the wrong side of the spell, blocking it is your only and best move. You can use other spells or create physical barriers. Note that the Avada Kedavra is too strong for the magical shields, and you shouldn’t use them as barriers.

If you are to use a strong physical barrier, it will stop the spell. However, other barriers will either redirect or make the spell cause secondary effects, such as Accio Mrs. Weasley.

Another effective but risky move is to dodge the Avada Kedavra. You must be careful since a slight effect will instantly take you out. This iconic curse is also stoppable through sacrificial love. This is according to past Harry potter characters who once fell on the wrong side of the spell.  

The Bottom Line

The Avada Kedavra is the most lethal curse in Hogwarts Legacy, and it is best to learn about it. Players get to interact with the spell during later stages of the game after completing the game’s storyline. Therefore, if you have recently begun your Hogwarts Legacy adventures, you must be patient and rise through the ranks before you can cast the Avada Kedavra.
