7 | Talk to Sebastian. Talk to Sebastian outside and select the dialogue options Everyone should know that curse. and Yes please. to learn Avada Kedavra. |
8 | Learn Avada Kedavra. Guide the cursor along the lightning symbol shown on the screen until it reaches the end of the path. Press the buttons indicated as you progress down the lightning bolt. |
While fighting Solomon, don't focus on the Inferi, because waves of them will just keep coming. Instead, use Ancient Magic Throw to deplete Solomon's health quickly.
You could use the Inferi to charge up your Ancient Magic attacks, but using the Ancient Magic Throw is much faster and more readily available.
When talking to Sebastian outside the catacomb, you'll be given 2 options: No one should know that curse and Everyone should know that curse.
If you want to learn the Unforgivable Curse spell Avada Kedavra, you'll have to select Everyone should know that curse and its follow-up dialogue Yes please.
