Hogwarts Legacy Sebastian Sallow quest guide
The Hogwarts Legacy Sebastian Sallow quest chain will take you from an early stage of the campaign all the way to the very end. Think of it as an arc with its own narrative, separate from the major plot points regarding the Goblin Rebellion and Ancient Magic Trials. Each Sebastian Sallow quest in Hogwarts Legacy has to be completed in order, and there are also some other requirements (i.e., reach a certain level or finish a particular main quest). Moreover, this arc is where you’ll be able to learn the Unforgivable Curses.
First meeting with Sebastian and becoming dueling buddies – You’ll be introduced to Sebastian during your first Defense Against the Dark Arts class. After this, you have to option of choosing either him or Natty as your dueling partner in Crossed Wands. He can also be chosen as the one who’ll accompany you when you first visit Hogsmeade. Your decisions here have no impact on the rest of the quest chain. The remaining steps will appear on your log, assuming you’ve already met the requirements.
