Hogwarts Legacy Learn Curses from Sebastian

You can learn Imperio during In the Shadow of Time, when Sebastian gives you the choice to learn the curse. You will be given 2 opportunities to learn Imperio during the quest: the first midway through the quest and the second if you choose to side with Sebastian.

If you choose not to learn Imperio during the quest, you can still learn it from Sebastian by talking to him at the Undercroft at any time after completing the quest. However, this will no longer be available if you choose to turn Sebastian in during In the Shadow of Fate.

Should You Turn In Sebastian?
