How to Start and Complete in The Shadow of Discovery in Hogwarts Legacy¶

For this quest, you will need to have completed the previous Sebastian Sallow quest In The Shadow of The Study. For this quest, you will need to use the wait feature on your map to get the next letter from Sebastian. Once you do, head to the Undercroft, which is located under the Defense Against The Dark Arts Classroom. When you enter, you will find Sebastian and Ominis in another argument, thanks to the use of Crucio in the previous quest.

Once they are done arguing, you will need to speak to Sebastian. It’s here that you can either support or condone his actions. This won’t have a major effect on the story. After he leaves, you will need to speak to Ominis and either defend or work with him to try to talk Sebastian out of using the unforgivable curses to try and help Anne.
