Hogwarts Legacy In the Shadow of the Bloodline Quest will end with Sebastian and Ominis parting ways due to their different views. The boys quarrel because Ominis dislikes using Dark Magic despite being forced to by his family in his youth, while Sebastian sees its value when it's needed.
In the Shadow of the Study Quest begins with Sebastian trying to bring Ominis back to the team so that they can find the Salazar Slytherin Scriptorium and locate the Slytherin Spellbook. This Quest rewards players with 180 XP and acquiring the Crucio Spell if they chose to learn it in Hogwarts Legacy.
In The Shadow Of The Study Quest In Hogwarts Legacy
To start the In the Shadow of the Study Quest in Hogwarts Legacy, players need to receive Sebastian Owl after completing the In the Shadow of the Bloodline Quest.
Meet Sebastian outside the Slytherin common room in Hogwarts Legacy. After that, Sebastian will lead players to Ominis' location as he fears that the Slytherin student has backed down from joining them on their mission to find the Scriptorium entrance.
To gain access to the Scriptorium, players will first need to convince Ominis to reveal the door’s location, then do the following:
- Use Revelio to locate the three Braziers.
- Cast Confringo to light them up quickly.
- Enter the Scriptorium.
- Use the Reparo Spell in Hogwarts Legacy to fix the relief.
- Speak with Ominis about the hissing.
Ominis will explain the hissing is heard after repairing the relief. The relief is telling the blind Slytherin to speak to it in their ancient language. After Ominis asks players if they want to go further or not, he will speak in Parseltongue to open the locked door in Hogwarts Legacy. Upon entering the room, players will find three locked doors with a new puzzle to solve in the Scriptorium
To open the first puzzle’s door:
- Look closely at the symbols engraved on the locked door.
- Match the door symbols on the nearby Slytherin Lock:
- Rotate the top dial to land on the circle symbol.
- Rotate the bottom dial to land on the snake symbol.
To open the second door:
- Memorize the second door's engraved symbols.
- Match the door symbols on the Slytherin Lock in the next room:
- Rotate the top dial to land on the helmet with the horn symbol.
- Rotate the bottom dial to land on the z-like symbol.
Opening the third door can be quite bothersome, as it requires a few extra steps. Which are:
- Go behind the first locked door and locate the Slytherin Lock at the end of the corridor.
- Light the torch beside it with any Fire Spell in Hogwarts Legacy.
- Match the third door symbols on it:
- Rotate the top dial to the O< symbol.
- Rotate the bottom dial to the triangle symbol.
The Slytherin Locks have a timer, so players must insert the correct symbols within the given time limit, or they will be bitten.
Opening the final door will lead to the next room where players will be trapped. Upon investigating the room, the three students will learn that there is no way out but to cast a forbidden Spell in Hogwarts Legacy. Ominis doesn't want to cast such a Spell, and Sebastian thinks it's ridiculous to die when they can cast an ominous Spell. Here, the protagonists have to play the meditator role and convince Ominis that either they or Sebastian will cast the Spell.
However, players are free to decide whether they want to:
- Not learn the Crucio Spell at all.
- Learn the Cruciatus Curse, and get it cast upon them by Sebastian.
- Learn the Curse and cast it on Sebastian.
Whatever the choice players make, they will end up inside Salazar Slytherin Scriptorium and acquire the Slytherin Spellbook. The latter has to be given to Sebastian to end the search party and exit the Slytherin Dungeon. Getting out will lead Sebastian and Ominis to quarrel about if they should or shouldn’t use Dark Magic again.
