Who Should Cast Crucio in Hogwarts Legacy?

While learning the infamous Crucio spell during Shadow of the Study side quest, you'll be given three choices in Hogwarts Legacy. This includes three potential options.

First, you can choose to not learn the Crucio Curse, or you can learn it but only if it's cast on you, or finally you can learn it by casting it on Sebastian. When faced with the decision of who should cast the Crucio spell, many players are uncertain of how to proceed (unsurprisingly) or the permutations of each choice.

If you're stuck at this checkpoint and looking for advice on which option to choose, you've come to the right place.

Who Should Cast Crucio in Hogwarts Legacy?

Before diving into the answer, let's explain the outcomes of the choices.

• I want to learn the Cruciatus Curse. But you must cast it on me: If you select this option, you'll learn the spell at the cost of most of your health.
• Teach me the Cruciatus Curse, and I'll cast it on you: If you select this option, you'll still learn the spell without impacting your health as you're damaging Sebastian.

So what option should you select now? While the choice is subjective, we suggest learning the Cruciatus Curse by casting it on Sebastian. This is because casting Crucio on Sebastian won't affect the storyline. But if you're following the moral path in the game, then you can take the damage and ask Sebastian to use the spell on you.

But as we've mentioned earlier, you'll definitely lose a major portion of your health that you can restore later by using the Wiggenweld Potion.

What Happens If You Refuse to Learn Crucio Spell in Hogwarts Legacy?

If you don't want to learn Crucio during Shadow of the Study side, then it's super important to note that you won't have another chance to learn it until the end of the game. Once the storyline comes to an end, Sebastian will offer to teach Crucio Spell to you once again. While it's not necessary to learn it, having the skill can be useful in difficult situations throughout your Hogwarts Legacy journey.
