Hogwarts Legacy is the perfect game to explore the dark side of our characters or witness the wizarding world as a villain following the beliefs of intriguing characters such as Voldemort or Bellatrix. The dark magic and evil forces are part of the Hogwarts Legacy, including the Unforgivable Curses. This Guide represents the Imperio curse and how to get it. Also, some vital information related to Dark Arts, Arena and related quests.

Can I use the Imperio spell and unforgivable Curses without restrictions?

The game doesn’t offer a mortality system, so you can freely be rude to NPC characters or cast unforgivable curses. However, if you decide to go the Evil Wizard path, various cut scenes and dialogue will sometimes play differently. So if you plan on having multiple playthroughs, you should try Dark Wizard path in one of them.

In Hogwarts Legacy, you can’t become an actual villain, either. The game is designed to put the player on a path to saving the world; your character is the only one who can accomplish it.
