In the Shadow of the Relic Tips and Strategies

Don't Focus on Inferi During Boss Fight

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.

Select the Learn Curse Dialogue Option

Hogwarts Legacy In the Shadow of the Relic Avada Kedavra

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.
