But I’m spoiled because big studios make post launch stuff haha
True, but they won’t sympathize with that. It’s a business
Good points.
He was also a former auror. I don’t remember if he was discharged or quit or what. Like was he fired?
But anyway in our last encounter with him, he comes in wand blazing and attacking us point blank not even trying to reason with teenagers. It actually seemed so dramatic and out of place but it worked for the story to push Sebstian to the far edge
Next year you won’t see new games for older consoles anymore.
I get that.
I think Solomon was also mgrieving for Anne. He’d already lost family and now he’d have to stand there and watch his niece constantly suffering for the rest of her life
And with no clear or exact timeline for her dying, he’s probably constantly on edge in fear of waking up one day and she’d be gone. As they don’t know what curse it is, they don’t know how long she has left. It could be a few years, it could be the rest of her life, constantly suffering
Of course I get that but considering he’s an adult and Sebastian is a hormonal teenager I’d expected more of a…well mature response yk
I believe he left after using Unforgivables on the job (with permission from the Minisrty of course)
And yeah he came in and blazing…
But he had been made aware that there was a bunch of Inferi and that Sebastian was controlling them. He had to act first ask questions later because his family and the hamlet were in danger from all those Inferi
Lol I get that.
I just don’t think Solomon ever fully grasped the role of guardian. I think he tried his best but kids were clearly never a part of his plan
Oh that’s right! Thanks for reminding me!
Yes that’s true. It’s unfortunate really they needed a therapist to navigate and make them understand each other lmao
I absorb lore like a sponge.
Typical Ravenclaw behavior I know.
He was also in a very bad place, so was Sebas. They both were communicating in a different way, handling from emotion. They collided, and it ended badly. Both were wrong, did things out of place. But, Sebas payed the ultimate price, his sister is heartbroken and his uncle does not feel anything snymore.
Yeah, Sebastian mentioned early that he was only referred to as “my Brother’s Son” which foreshadowed the ending to me.
Don’t think the Wizarding world had many therapists, certainly not in the late 1800s lol
Best you could get is a healer to dose you up on concoctions and hope that helped lol
I still don’t get why Solomon would do that. That rlly doesn’t help the situation
Maybe there would be a magic Sigmund Freud? 😂😂😂
Yep. And Sebs grief and regret will gnaw at his soul. But I’ll be there for the shoulder he needs to lean on! Lol
True lmfao
Didn’t dumbledore once said that if you remove your own memory and story it it takes away the worry of the situation. Could have worked on the father of that dark wizard chick (keep forgetting her name).
I think it’s more that once they’re in a Pensieve and therefor easy to access with much more clarity, it’s easier to spot patterns and details that regular recollection wouldn’t give you
You don’t forget the memories you extract, you just store them in a way that means much easier and clearer access whenever you want
I see, I should read book 6 again. The films are always a bit fishy when it comes to these details.
Because when you view an extracted memory you see it from a 3rd person perspective, it can allow you to see and understand more than a 1st person perspective when trying to recall it yourself.
It takes away the worry of having missed something if you can just stick your face in the Pensieve and watch the memory whenever you please
Yeah that makes more sense
Yeah lol
Or put him in the hog's head. I enjoy hearing him whine every time I'm in there
i put him in HH but he just doesnt show up there
Really? Buggy, maybe. He's just to the right of the door as you enter, right of the counter
his painting is just empty
He went to his Hogwarts frame in protest maybe lol
just the background
he is screaming in the library lmao
His name is a backhanded comment too. Ferdinand Octavius Pratt. FOP
lmao
Yeah that was me lol, figured it out haha
someone asked about getting AK despite picking the wrong dialogue option
I die
Hi, this is the FINAL scroll I need. I technically got it before, but for some reason it didnt register, and now its not showing up, any ideas on how to fix?
https://imgur.com/a/PnLSjPl
oh man i really went full anakin at the end, i was determined to save sebastians sister finishing isadoras work.
me: I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security with MY ancient magic power
fig: "your" new ancient magic power?
i had to change to easy, I exhausted all my potions
you can change?!
btw i didnt do the bad ending yet, but i saw it on youtube, does it change anything, does fig survive?
yeah go in to gameplay settings
Nope
was just asking because i didnt see him in the cutscene, thanks for claryfying
He’s very dead
not only does fig not survive, he doesnt help you at the end, and looks at you with disappointment. I relished in my power!

doesnt he die because he helped?
in my ending he just fell and presumed dead
Yeah but in the bad ending he just dies because
bro dies of death
I heard they don't show his death in the bad ending lol
Fatality
literally i wanted to do evil, but couldn’t hurt fig yet he dies anyway so
unlimited power. I can harness it
Yah in the bad ending he doesn’t get screen time at all. He just lies there and you grab his wife’s wand and go Dark Phoenix for a second and that’s it..
The good ending you get to see him pass and have final words. And he helps you with the cave in.
not only that, you have the gall of going to the celebration and admiring fig and people saying fig was proud of you .... they have no idea the disappointment he had in his eyes, the betrayal
True. And you still raise a cup to him after it all. Lol truly dark sided
for the greater good
btw if u pick the good option he sounds like he is trying to sway you to the bad side but if you pick the bad one he is disappointed
So I finally got the Christmas tree spellcraft and I was so excited thinking hogwarts would finally be decorated for Christmas, as it is winter time. It’s not. I put the tree out and the great hall is bare. Did I miss Christmas? I’m on the speak to Amit about gobbledegook quest if that helps.
if I remember correctly dont each seasons start with your characters waking up in bed? i do remember christmas trees in the hufflepuff common room when it was snowing
Seasons change after each trial yeah
the slytherin common room was done up really pretty for christmas
wait a minute. did those torn out pages showing a giant mushroom like structure over hogwarts and a big spiral ancient magic tree with corpses in it.... not actually come back in the story??
There's a few things similar to this. I remember finding a note where Isadora was talking about finding a protégé to learn her techniques and studys of ancient magic. At first I thought she was talking about us. But now I feel we might be the rival to her true heir. Also she died way to easily, I swear Isadora has a horcrux
Oh protégé
Oh! Silly auto fill
No no, I was just... wondering if that was a magical beast I didn't know about lmao
You can’t use any unforgivable in him
damnit i wasted so long getting to 28 and it’s useless for ranrok
Final boss plot armor
^ He's scripted, at best it would jump him to the next transition point
this Tobbs mission is CAF!
So I just ratted out Sebastian for showing me the Undercroft to Ominis, after I told him I won't tell Ominis goes "Why should I trust you? You betrayed Sebastian" I didn't mean to do that Ominis I wanted your trust 😭
this will haunt me for the rest of my days
The ps5 quest is literally a jump scare
i heard of it, the shop one right? In Hogsmead?
Oh yeah
I jumped a couple times through it
I don't know much of it other than there are mannequins? I'm a PC player so I don't have that quest sadly
I'd like to own the shop
Yeah mannequins move when your back is turned 😂😂 it’s a dungeon under the shop and it’s run by a ghost
It got me each time the mannequins surrounded me when I turned around though
do they like, chase you?? or do they just move?
Some come to life, I think it was a total of 3-4 times they did that
But other times they just surrounded you and just stood there
is owning the shop even worth it at that rate?
Imo no cuz you sell your clothing you acquire through the game
You sell at a higher rate to that clerk
anyone find it worth to breed for resources/ sell or should i mainly sell gear or both?
gear was more profitable as all the beasts sell for like 120 doubloons each as far as i could tell and gear sells for like 200+ and is fairly easy to get whereas beasts take 30 mins to breed.
it's worth breeding for gear upgrades though but really you only need one of each for upgrades
Makes sense. Thank u 😄
Is there any post-game content for Sebastian that's worth continuing on this current save on? I've already finished the main story and his quest chain
I still have the field guide to completed and a few other side missions but I kind of want to start a new save with a new house 😆
Seb is my only drive to continue this save haha
when i asked proffessor bakar about how fascinating it was to see isidora harness the pain he said he didn't want to tell someone who is more fascinated than disturbed about the 4th pensieve. did me picking that dialogue affect the story or ending?
No
Huge Respect to the person who scripted the funny cut scenes.
They have a good sense of humour.
Kinda, when you get the shop everything you sell there you will get more money
That house elf is not good at bargaining;)
I'm missing like 3 side missions to complete all the quests in the game, but having trouble finding them. Any suggestions?
Do you know which 3 you are looking for?
Hmm.. I know the magic well threw me off but I'm not sure what other quests, sorry
Yep, got that one
there are quests that appear only at a specific season, maybe that's why you can't find them ?
The game never really gives an answer to that.
For those first 4 years I'm sure MC thought they were a squib
p
Ancient power kids got their magic late
I think sorting should have taken place as a first year. Cut scene montage til 5th year which has you learning about using ancient magic some. Then game progresses as normal
But then befriending Natty, Poppy and Sebby would be weird if you never spoke to them until your fifth year.
Their relationship quests become optional after a few main missions.
Not really all optional unless you don't want all the spells
Only the unforgivables
Rest of the spells are from assignments, and some of them are mandatory for main quests.
The Unforgivables aren’t mandatory
If you want the achievement you need the unforgivables too
"Spell Master" I think it's called
No they don’t count towards the Learn all Soelks achievement
I know that because I didn’t learn any of them. But once I learned the transformation spell it popped.
In a previous playthrough I’d learned Crucio and it didn’t count towards the total
I didn’t learn it neither and also turned Sebby in and got the achievement too so yeah unforgivables don’t count
Unforgivable curses are cool though 😎
I had one save where I turned him in.
And on my main save I didn’t.
Because devastated Ominis broke my shrivelled little heart
Loved gaslighting sebastian into feeling good so he'd teach me them
You don’t even have to gaslight him.
He offers even if you’ve been very against the whole use the Dark Arts plan.
Oh, then I may have made a bit of a monster for fun
Well yeah but he and Ann knew it was the right thing to do. Come on killing his uncle for destroying his toy ? Rlly ? Xd
I thought for sure ominous was gonna just die when we left him imperiod in the catacomb
Yeah but Ominis later tell you that both he and Anne lowkey regret it.
And he’s absolutely devastated that he’s gone. Anne’s has left and gone away somewhere so he pretty much has no one.
Without Solomon he also will have to go back to his family for holiday breaks and stuff
Sadly we can’t just kill Sebastian instead of his uncle
My man had good intentions. I do think there should've been a path where you talk him out of it though
Not my boy
Leave him alone.
I love my two Slytherin lads. They’re precious
One just got a tad too fixated on the Dark Arts being the only solution.
But what about uncle ? I didn’t want to see him dead and I still needed to fight him this is all wrong thx to your lad Xd
He could've done a bit more to cool sebastian down rather then just banish him tbf
I will save sebastians sister anne and bring peace, freedom, justice, and security with MY newfound ancient magic powers
Your newfound ancient powers?
dont make me avada kadavra you
Richbuttermuffins my allegiance is to hogwarts, to the ministry!
if youre not with me, then you are sebastian's enemy
Only a dark wizard deals in unforgivable curses, I will do what I must
Who would not side with Sebastian please he is baby
the same people that wont return biscuit
Biscuit was ugly why would you wanna keep her to begin with
people that want more goblins to side with ranrok

He and Ominis
Precious babies must protect.
Absolutely
At least we got to keep the irondale pilferer
I’d put Anne in the mix too I love that trio I need more of them
I once thought I accidentally sold him I was devastated
Anne, Sebby, Ominis and MC
Best friends.
Just let them be hapoyyy
You think Seb only kills his Uncle for breaking the relic? Solomon was an abhorrent guardian and tbh is partially, if not predominately responsible for how he ended up.
Sebastian should've just made Anne make a horcux lol
YES YES YES
Like he knew how that worked
Just a lil push is all he needed
Solomon also clearly never wanted kids. He has no wife or partner. No children of his own.
I think a part of him deep down resented that he got saddled with his brothers kids.
And only to then watch one constantly suffering from a curse (with no clear end date known, she could live a long time but be in constant pain) and the other turning to dark magic in a desperate attempt to save her
You see your emotionally vulnerable nephew use Imperio to save his sister. Do you:
A) Calmly teach him about the dangers of the Unforgivable Curses based on your own experiences or
B) Belittle, scream at, and then kick your own ward out of their home and cut them off from their twin after they both just lost their parents.
Emotional maturity non-existent
It’s been a while since their oarents died, they were young kids at the time,
But in all that time under their uncles care he’s not seemed the most emotionally supportive
The Uncle is a fully grown adult and Seb is a child. He is manipulative, impulsive and sometimes irrational - but still a child.
That's why I can forgive Seb, but cannot forgive Solomon.
Anne went off to investigate the ruins before he could stop her.
Did he never warn her of the dangers of going somewhere unprepared? Without backup?
Yeah he seemed like a pretty s*** Guardian not sure why he tried to find them someone else
Does sebastian do the same stuff no matter what dialogue route you go down?
Big facts
Wait which ruins we talking bout again
Isadoras house is like fairly close and it was already dilapidated right?
What does that have to do with Anne again?
The goblins were there and in and near Rookwood castle and started fires. Anne went to investigate because she wasn’t taught impulse control by Solomon I guess
She tried to help if I remember right
I think she went to try and help in case there were people in trouble.
But she should have left that to the adults
So it's really all anne's fault
Yes but she seems to value other ppls lives more than her own safety so you can’t blame her for being impulsive
She was a 3rd year student at the time. No way she’d be able to he,p
I don’t think she was capable of truly thinking rational at that time
Like the idea was noble don’t get me wrong, props to her on that.
But really should have left it to the adults and the authorities.
They were under attack and she did what felt right. Pressure situation. Doesn’t change that it was careless but not understandable
Also the one ministry official we met and Solomon both aren’t great at handling stuff so can’t blame her LMFAO
Wish we could lure ominous down to the dungeon bathrooms and get him to do a bit of snake whispering tbh
I don’t think they were even under attack. The goblins just set fire to some things near the castle and Anne went to try and help.
Feldcroft itself wasn’t being attacked I don’t think.
The ruins are really close to the village tho so it’s not wrong for her to assume someone was there. It’s still careless and she should’ve let the adults handle that but I don’t think we can blame her for reacting the way she did
It feels kinda like blaming natty for jumping in front of the Mc and getting hit by crucio. They both did what came instinctively to them at the moment
Also Solomon sucks at parenting if he were better at it maybe he could’ve stopped Anne but nope
Agreed. I think she had the right intentions. She just didn’t think ahead or practice caution (as Solomon SHOULD have taught her, being an ex Auror and all)
I don’t blame her. I blame her Guardian for not doing the one thing he was supposed to do for his remaining family.
I rlly don’t get why if he didn’t see himself fit as guardian and didn’t want that tried to find them a new family like he could’ve still stayed in touch so they still had contact with their biological family but it would’ve probably made all the stuff a lot easier for everyone. Who knows maybe they wouldn’t even need to move and found a new family near their home. But it’s not even mentioned if the dude even thought of that
Probably just the burden of responsibility l being their next of kin
If he turned them away or gave them to someone else, he’d bring shame and possibly even be shunned by others for turning away family in a time of need
He wouldn’t need to break off contact tho. And I am sure it wouldn’t be easy to find a new home so they probably would stay with him so I doubt that many would’ve shunned him and even if he shouldn’t care he should care more about his niece and nephew but we’ll he’s Solomon so
No, but societal norms back then would class that as abandons them still.
As the next of kin, it’s his responsibility to house and look after them.
Fair but he rlly shouldn’t care about that. He could’ve at first and tried but it was obvious he failed. The moment he realized he was truly not suited to watch over them he should’ve done what was best for them
hey is there a way u can get the phoenix after u completed the mission?
House cup is such a disappointment, the cutescene is dooky water and you get 0 rewards except for the credits
Don't think so, you just get the one
Honestly why did the cutscene feature Everett so much? And why doesn’t it take into account what choice you made with Sebby? You Ominis briefly but it can’t have been too hard to have a version that features Sebby too.
Instead we see Natty in DADA and poppy in Beasts and then random NPCs we care little about
I'm a Ravenclaw and even I don't give a rat's tail about Everett
I forgot Everett even existed. I met the dude once lmfao
Ravenclaws meet him once. He's not endearing
"Boy, this kid who throws stinkbombs at people and is too impatient to graduate from beginner flying class sure was shaken up"
He’s the broom dude right?
Yep
He was about as interesting as the Weasley kid
At least that kid had some tie to the family like "oh they've always been inventive pranksters"
True true and I think we met him multiple times
Same
They didn’t even do anything with him.
He pulls one prank and you’re supposed to consider him a prankster
But then he never does it again. Kind of erasing his personality into “just the dude that teaches you broomflight” and that’s it. No side quest or anything
Same with Amit. He just teaches you astronomy tables. Oh and helps you in a main quest but not really let’s be fair, certainly not to the same degree as the companions
Samantha Dale was the only Ravenclaw with a bit more to her backstory.
And only for 1 pretty easy quest
And he’s a companion for some reason
He was so insignificant I thought ravenclaws had no companion at all
Imelda Reyes' entire plotline is "I'm ALL ABOUT competitive broom flying".
She was annoying
No relationship questline so apparently not.
I feel he was shoved in last minute but not really fleshed out beyond being a bit insufferable and lowkey useless.
Like we could have just stolen the plans and brought them to Lodgok. We didn’t need Amit
Well they advertised him as a companion but yeah he was just another random npc
Glorified NPC to try and placate those wondering why a Ravenclaw companion hadn’t been shown.
He was a missed opportunity
Claudia or whatever her name was - opponent in crossed wands and in summoner's court - had more development than Amit lol
Ewww she got my moms name
Amit served to teach me that I've been pronouncing one of my students' names wrong, that was about it
Oop
Have that problem with the PS5 exclusive house elf...
Yikes
though she's much kinder than my mom lmao
Imelda Reyes acts like a gryffindor 😂
Oh about the exclusive quest…what was the reason for Mason to turn them all insane?? Just for fun??
I’m telling you Everett is going to have something to do with the sequel.
Same girl
Evil mastermind
LMFAO TRUE
Ehh I don’t think so tbh
More likely DLC
A sequel is years off at least
I was so pleased when Sebastian's questline started, and Ominis, that he wasn't acting like a stereotypical Slytherin.. then that NOSEDIVED by the end
lol how so
"Oh nice, this Slytherin isn't just lowkey (or highkey) evil and obsessed with blood purity, prestige, and power! .... oh"
Ominis is precious and must be protected at all costs
I didn’t turn Seb in because Ominis is genuinely broken over it in the following conversation
At least with Seb staying free there’s a chance, no matter how slim, that he can redeem himself and fix the bridges he broke
True but I’m telling you as hank hill would say Everett the boy ain’t right
Ominis is the Slytherin Sebastian should have been lmao
Yeah Natty and Poppy I didn't really care about, they were a pain to go through the quests, not that I'm sexist but I genuinely found their quests boring, unlike Sebastian's line of quests which were actually intriguing. A boy's sister gets cursed and does whatever it takes to cure her, which eventually leads up to him "accidentally" killing his uncle and leaves you with his fate in your hands.
But he isn’t really. My dudes just trying to save his sister so idk. Tbh I can see a gryffindor do the same stuff he did except they probably aren’t clever enough to get all the info
I liked all of the companion's questlines well enough, but was frustrated by exactly what Ominis calls you out on - that you keep going along with Sebastian's increasingly bad ideas
I found poppy’s pretty interesting but maybe that was just cuz dragons >
Yeah Natty, while having noble intentions just throws herself into danger. Even if you tell her she should get help.
Poppy is kind of the same but when it comes to magical beasts.
In my defense? anti-defense? I haven't seen any Fantastic Beasts films so the game was magical in that regard for me lmao
Wellllllllllllll as I always say I’d probably follow Voldemort power is intriguing

Typical gryffindor
We go along with all of Seb’s ideas and meanwhile convince Ominous that everything’s fine. 🙃. “This time is the last time for real.”
Even when you try telling Sebastian to stop. Ominis at least comments that he appreciates you telling him to leave the relic but even when you agree with Ominis you still end up helping Seb by either talking Ominis into letting you go or having him Imperio’d
I hated both options like… let me side with Ominis instead
That ripped my heart in two
Exactly, and at no point can you go "no, your sister wouldn't want ANY of this, stop"
Well the quest has to always end up at the point where you find the relic
It’s sad but that’s the only path you can go at all which…rip
I want my babies to make up again
Tbh you could see where the game was rushed but I honestly enjoyed the game it’s been years since I played a game that I didn’t want to put down
I AINT giving up on the unforgivables tho
I thought it was funny that ominis and his aunt wanted to prove that Salazar slytherin was about more than just blood purity but then whoops oh no he really was just entirely focused on blood purity 😂
Same
Ominis, Sebby and MC are the best trio
Yeah if after you tell Seb to leave the relic but he’s insistent, then when you talk to Ominis you an be like “This is going too far” and team up with him that would be awesome
Yussss. I love their banter theyre so fun. Also I love that Sebastian ends up apologizing to you at one point for being so mean about lodgok. I think that’s rlly interesting which proves that he is able to change and actually is a good person
They really do seem like the trio
“Spiders aren’t insects”
“Don’t start”
My babies <333
“That was fun”
“Fun is a..eh..relative term”
“Yes and that was relatively fun”
MY HEART
Man, shrinking spiders and stomping on them is epic.
So much so he makes mention of a beast in slumber in Hogwarts…
I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about. Don’t worry about that whispering you occasionally hear in the Slytherin Common room, Ominis. I’m sure it’s not a giant snake that can kill with a look
😞 wish they let us make more choice/had our choices count, really wanted to keep Sebastian from going down a dark path
Yes
He was 100% like “oh no they’re like Ominis, correcting me”
What is the fastest way to level up???…
I don’t think we could stop it even with more choices. If we annoy Seb enough with morals he’s just going to do it without us.
Well I don’t think he hears it since it’s sleeping. Also I kinda wish they made salazar more so being against muggleborns not only because of blood purity because also that he was afraid they would betray them since their parents are muggles and they were at “war” kinda
Yeah the choices are just
“I agree, drew what Ominis thinks I support you 100% let’s go”
Or
“Yo this is really sketchy and I think you should stop. Ominis is right.., but yeah I’ll still go along with it no worries”
RIGHT — I don’t think ominis himself knows about the entire chamber of secrets, but the gaunt family apparently does?? They’ve been working to keep it a secret for as long as they’ve been going to Hogwarts 😂 when they installed plumbing a gaunt was the one who kept them from finding it or so I hear
What is the fastest way to level up???…
I still think it’s better for us to come along then have him do it on his own
I was wondering if ominis knew but I suppose since he dislikes his family and apparently showed that from an early age they didn’t entrust that information to him
That’s a big part of why his obsession with blood purity was such a big thing for him.
The purer the blood, the less likely they were a potential spy for the Muggles.
He even had distrust for half bloods because they had a Muggle parent. It’s why he wanted muggles banned, not because they were tainting bloodlines, but because he feared they’d report back to muggles and start another war
Yesss I wish they’d gone into that. That makes it seem well not reasonable but understandable he feared so. Doesn’t ofc make any of his actions right but at least you see where he is coming from and that it is somewhat of an understandable fear
Yeah they probably didn’t.
He refused to torture a Muggle until they tortured him first.
No way they’d entrust the entrance to the CoS with a Gaunt that didn’t share the same views on blood purity
Instead they made Salazar stupid evil by boobytrapping his scriptorium with a crucio door.
Yeeeee sad but at the same time I love the Basilik cuz…snake so at least it’s not gonna die yet :))))
And it was fear for his students too. All of them, be they Slytherin or not. Just as long as they were purebloods he thought they were more trustworthy.
Hmmm I kinda like the way they explained it though, with the why crucio was necessary to open the door
And no hints that they’d need a second person with them or they’d die of starvation.
Yeppp guess he had the right intentions but that turned into some sort of irrational fear and wrong methods
Yeaaaa why wouldn’t he give hints? That was kinda stupid
Also about the basilisk…why does Tom look it in the eye IN THE MOVIE YALL COULDVE AVOIDED THAT EASILY
🤔 I wonder if he figured it they were supposed to be there, they would know? On the other hand I don’t think I’d put it past the gaunt family to intentionally leave that part out for the aunt
Also i couldn’t take the fight in the book serious I am sorry but omg
I don’t know if maybe the Basilisk can like… turn off its ability?
Because it was ordered to hunt muggleborns but all it would take is an unaware Pureblood looking it in the eye and they’re dead.
So it must have some control and can sniff out muggleborns from purebloods.
I would assume it can’t. Tho I do think it got specific targets and is clever enough to follow its specific instructions. It probably also got told to avoid slytherins since almost all purebloods are in there
Also something i like but also dislike in the movie is how the basilisk actually isn’t even a real snake
Oh damn u right, almost looks like an eel 😂😂
It’s more so of a legless lizard as snakes don’t have eyelids. But I do like it’s appearance cuz a) it looks dope and b) it makes more sense for it to have eyelids as it then can be ordered to close its eyes. I don’t think that Tom riddle would Dea with a basilisk a being that could accidentally kill him with only one look if it couldn’t close its eyes considering how paranoid he was
Tho I wish they gave the basilisk actual fangs and not teeth cuz those are just basic teeth not fangs it got
It must have some degree of control
Otherwise it would have the Medusa problem.
One look into a reflective body of water or shiny surface and it would petrify itself. Or if it looked at its owner while they just so happened to look at it, same issue
That’s why I like the movie basilisk. Got eyelids easy fix
Woah I’m reading the wiki for the dude who created the first basilisk and apparently he created the first horcrux too, he was really wildin
Also unrelated but the fact that the potion ingredient “snake fangs” says “harvested from non-venomous snakes” makes me so livid CUZ FANGS ARE SPECIAL TEETH FOR VENOM SO NON-VENOMOUS SNAKES DONT HAVE THEM OMG
Tom probably wore a blindfold all the time with the basilisk. Jk. But blindness really is the best bet for a basilisk owner.
Yep herpo the foul
Ye ye unless you consider the look of the movie basilisk canon (cuz more of a lizard than a snake) then it has eyelids and yay just tell it to close its eyes easy fix
If he invented horcruxes I wonder if he is still kicking 😳
Also the book fight scene with the basilisk swiping his tail at Harry had me on the floor laughing. No snake would attack like that I am so sorry but I just couldn’t take it seriously. The basilisk would’ve lunged at Harry lol
Lol. Book 8 Harry Potter and the Foul
Has this aspect ever really been confirmed? The way I've seen it portrayed is just him hating Muggle-Borns for being lesser beings.
My headcannon has always been that he distrusted Muggles due to their attitudes towards magic, but never thought this was ever alluded to/confirmed.
Now this is the sequel I demand, cursed child WHO
Honestly, my headcanon for why the spiders fear and flee from the Basilisk is because they have 8 eyes resulting in 360 degree vision… and no eyelids.
So they run from it because it’s a guaranteed death sentence to be around it while it’s awake .
I don’t think it has been confirmed I wish they did it in the scriptorium tho missed opportunity CUZ IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE and makes the pure-blood supremacy stuff so much more tragic cuz he just wanted to protect his students but by Harry’s time it got twisted so much
Ouu i think it’s actually canon that they fear it so much cuz they have such a broad vision and so are easy targets
My thoughts exactly reading those documents in the Scriptorium. It was a missed opportunity to confirm a bit more complexity into his thinking beyond simply wanting muggle-borns dead because they're peasants.
But they just went with him hating them because he thought them lesser.
Yeah honestly sometimes I feel like something that made the Harry Potter fandom so big are the thousand op headcanons we all got lmfao
Too bad Slytherin was the only founder to create hidden scriptoriums and chambers
Yeah kinda wish we could get more from the others
I would like this confirmed at some point tbh. Maybe Salazar's parents were murdered by Muggles or whatever, it doesn't make it right, but it sure makes his motivations more interesting than pure blood supremecy for supremacy's sake.
Tho it works cuz he’s cunning tho I would expect Rowena to do the same
Actually it does seem like it’s canon slytherin didn’t like them (at least in part) is because he thought they were untrustworthy, they cite it from chamber of secrets chapter 9 in his wiki
Anyone read the newspaper article ingame about someone breeding basilisks? lol
Ye but they never really specify why he saw them as untrustworthy which is sad
Yeah lol I got one today of a woman waking up from a 600 year slumber
Yeah, the newspapers were funny. The Dricken - the fire breathing chicken.
Yeah that one was hilarious too. Inherited her along with the estate
Lololol
Time to wife her up and you inherited a wife too lol
Where are y’all finding newspaper articles 🥺
Hogsmeade
There is one woman with a table full of newspapers I think it’s near the central
Yeah, NE floo of Hogsmeade is near the newsstand
Oooo ty
It’s near the beast shop
Ernie Lark was my favorite too. Loved his constant addition of instruments
Did y’all see the one interaction in the hospital wing with the goat 🤣
Yep, tipped every time I saw him.
Unrelated but I once accidentally flew into the tentacle of the giant squid and died
Yep
That one was funny “GEORGE”
No but that sounds hilarious
“He’s not a goat, he’s George the animagus.”
It was so funny
And then George walks in “why do you have a goat?”
The hospital wing lady was just over it
Though the nurse saying the exact method of becoming an animagus was unexpected to me.
She be giving them ideas
I was amused thinking about Uagadou students wandering around with a leaf in their mouth for a straight month
Tho I don’t think it was the complete ritual she told them
If there’s a sequel I hope we get the patronus charm and ability to become an animagus
Is it different from the Uagadou one? I missed that event
You’d assume it’s because at the time, Muggles and Wizardkind had a very uneasy coexistence. Many muggles feared Wizards and magic and there were many witch hunts. Be they adults or children
So that mistrust makes sense. There was no statute of secrecy then and the two communities weren’t separate.
All it would take is one Muggleborn reporting back the secrets of where the castle was and how to get into it (as there probably weren’t any muggles repelling charms back then) and they could lay siege to the castle.
Yessss makes everything way more tragic I think
She misses put the part about if there isn’t a storm after the phial has been bathed in moonlight, you need to start the whole thing again.
It’s a long and arduous process and relies heavily on having just the right conditions
It’s kinda crazy cuz I think they’d have more reason to fear muggles in modern times?? Back then if they were tipped off I think the wizard/witch would have the advantage?? I remember reading something about a witch who kept getting herself burned on purpose because she made it tickle her or something
Also it’s kinda sad to think about that if anyone was in danger it were the muggleborns. Imagine other muggles like their neighbors finding out about them they’d immediately become the target too
Wendolin the weird yes
Oooo and the kids 🥺 like Hogwarts doesn’t come into play until they’re older, what if they have a burst of magic while they’re younger and oop get witch hunted
I’m pretty sure that happened a lot too.
A kid would express magic. The parents wouldn’t know what to do and be unable to stop an angry mob from taking the hold away to execute
Yeah the muggleborns probably had it the worst. Also imagine their parents hating witches and turning to hunt their own kids
The ritual probably was much easier to complete later on when the marauders did it.
Where would the muggleborns have even gone during the breaks and stuff back then?? Wouldn’t going home have been dangerous?
Maybe the founders got them a nice wizarding family to go home to?
Proanly why the Book of Names and Quill of Acceptance were a thing (I might be getting the names wrong lol)
As it would write a name the moment a child first expressed magic. Making them easy to find.
But if they weren’t actually sought out quickly,. They were probably at risk
Like if they made friends the family’s would take them home with them if it was too dangerous with the muggles
Oh yeah true true. I wonder how many young witches and wizards were killed before the book was made. Probably a lot sadly
No it was the same ritual.
It took them years to manage it. Partly research, partly actualky trying to do it, the conditions have to be just right or you risk being half transformed
Oh man this is really sad 😂 I never considered any of that before
Stuff is messed up man
Thank you for the knowledge.
Lol it’s why I’m a Ravenclaw.
There’s no room in my head for anything but LORE
Also i wonder since the founders all were friends how Salazar disagreeing and then leaving impacted each of them. And if Salazar partly chose to wait for an heir was cuz he didn’t wanna fight his friends and maybe to wait for a time where muggles didn’t know about wizards anymore
Typical Ravenclaw lol
I think he left it to an Heir beause he knew he wouldn’t be able to take on the other Founders.
Better to wait for them to all be dead, and a dedicated heir to finish your work unopposed
True that could probably be a reason too tho I’d rlly like to think that their friendship did matter to him. He seemed kinda sad about it reading his letter in the scriptorium
I wish they go a little deeper into some of the shenanigans of the other founders. Slytherin has already had so much attention, so would be good to hear a bit more about Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff.
Gryffindor at least did something even if it was only a sword inside a hat. Lol
Yeeeee true. I also couldnt Imagine Ravenclaw not having some secret chambers especially since she oversaw the construction of Hogwarts
Ooo she named it too
Yessss
any practical reason to capture more than one of each type of beast?
Breeding. Capture one of each sex of each beast type
Shiny vs regular makes no difference for byproducts or value
The only practical reason I know of is for more materials for upgrading gear.
Will revelio ding for a chest with a wigenweld? Or just a page?
Just pages
Just a page afaik
Ok thanks
I do believe liquid luck will add chest locations to revelio for an in game day
Only for gear chests though iirc
okay. ty.
Anyone else realize Sebastian didn’t need to use imperio he could’ve just used stupefy
I also love that we're just like "Hey, so it wasn't a goblin, and I killed him so you don't get to"
He could have used any number of spells. He had the time
I still find it unlikely he'd have taught himself the unforgivable curses and not apparition, especially since he and Anne (probably meant non-canonically, but still) disapparate outside of cutscenes
He just didn’t want to teach us apparition so he didn’t tell us.
am i in the dark forest, or endor?
Very old forests look like that
Young forests have lots of brambles
And small trees
@vital gate Anne is his twin sister. Likely used imperio because he was reading about it in the book and wanted to try it. You need hate someone to use it. If you did not talk to his his friend he would have used it on him too. To protect his twin he will use the curses. But the knowledge is making him a bad guy
Ominis: You will regret using crucio!!!
Us: About that- We Don’t.
I just think it's funny the guy that is the least threatening is named Ominis.
Bro I thought the name Ominis was a girl name-
I haven’t played the game but I keep looking for spoilers anyway.
Lolll
I want to have a taste of Hufflepuff’s food.
You are in the spoiler channel
I’ve watched ThinkNoodles playing the first day of the game. So yeah I’m pretty much familiar.
I finished it. Just doing loose ends
I have been bouncing back and forth between hogwarts and satisfactory
I might go broke if I bought the game.
And unfortunately I’m in Asia and not US or UK
Why?? Is it very expensive?
I dunno. Different currency is also an issue.
Plus I’ll get killed if I bought a game, exams are coming by.
Good luck with your exams. I hope you get Outstandings.
I won’t but thanks anyway. :))
I'm curious about what your studying, but good luck
it physically hurts me everytime i hit the "c" key ingame.
Oof
in what lvl did you guys start getting the dark art powers?
Wdym dark arts power? The unforgivable curses?
Through side quest with seb. Around lvl 17-18 after doing high keep
alrighty, thank you
Yeah, Becoz they are the only trio, no competition for them. All the other houses have a single companion, and Ravenclaw got nothing lol.
U got Amit Xd
The guy who knows stars and doesn’t know gobbledygook.
Amit is not an interesting character tbh. I can see maybe they created him with the intent of having him have his own storyline. But then realised his personality precludes him from really having an interesting one, so probably just scrapped it.
Isn’t he the Ravenclaw companion?
Companion is the wrong word anyway
They may’ve added him last minute when everyone yelled about there being no Ravenclaw companion.
But as a character with their own questline and achievement, Ravenclaw missed out.
Because he had exactly zero advertising.
He also has no questline or achievement. He is not comparable to Natty, Poppy or Sebastian.
Which just screams: “I was added to make the Ravenclaw fans shut up.”
Natsai Onai - the animagus trying to track down Harlow
Uhuh…
Right. Is she a Gryff or a Puff?
Honestly that’s how it feels.
He introduces you to astronomy and “helps” during a main mission.
When you pull have just as easily stolen the plans and brought them to Lodgok rather than taking a wuss of a Ravenclaw with you.
And no achievement, no personal quest.
Literally just shoved into a main quest because they had to use a Ravenclaw somewhere
Same with Everett.
Ravenclaws got done dirty. No companion and the NPCs are very underdeveloped and shallow when it comes to personality.
You see Everett do 1 prank and then he claims he’s a prankster. But you never see him prank again, nor is there a side quest to help him with his pranks.
Even that Weasley had the thing in potions and later a quest to Honeydukes. He even comments on if you helped him with the fwooper feather or not.
Honestly I felt like he was added with the intention of giving himself his own questline. But then realised his personality really precludes giving him a meaningful story. The Ravenclaw characters were overall...lacking.
Amit “teaches” you about astronomy tables (they’re really straightforward, could have taught you the mechanics in astronomy class itself)
Most notable npcs are all in slytherin
I can't imagine from the drawing room that they only ever planned 3 of the 4 Houses to have "companions" without thinking there would be backlash.
I think they originally had all 4 and had to cut back and Amit was the weakest link.
Everett teaches you flying. Again didn’t make the most sense considering he’d never once mentioned having a knack for flying.
Literally just picked so Ravenclaw had more regular NPCs helping the MC to try and soften the blow of no companion questline
And let’s be fair, the Ravenclaw exclusive quest was the worst of all four. It’s so basic and there’s nothing interesting in it
I actually forgot all ravenclaw classmates in game except for amit
Tbh they were all kinda crap. Amit just seems like a bit of a loser ngl.
Slytherins exclusive quest was a downer too
But at least they had convincing characters in the form of Sebastian and Ominis. Hell, even Imelda wasn't too bad and she was on screen for like 3 minutes.
App the other Houses NPCs had way more depth and interesting side quests. None of the Ravenclaw ones you meet in the common room have a side quest aside from Samantha
Everett doesn’t and neither does Amit.
There’s another Ravenclaw NPC called Andrew Larson who’s voiced by the same VA as Ominis. He even has a few lines. But no quest… he just exists
I think Ravenclaw got a lot of things cut.
They're going to have to give Ravenclaw some love in any DLC or sequel.
Sebby and Ominis are the best.
I wasn’t expecting Ominis to have as much depth or interesting character as he did.
He’s now tied as one of my absolute favourites next to Seb
Yeah I love both Ominis and Sebastian and they complement each other perfectly
Yeah they play of each other really well. You actually feel like they’ve been best friends for years
Maybe they could add a quest around Rowena Ravenclaw too if they couldn't add a full on "companion"
I think I also am a bit more biased for Ominis because he’s blind. And as someone with severe visual impairment myself, it’s cool to see a blind character with so much independence and personality instead of being relegated to a character dependant on others for everything.
Heck Ominis can hold his own against Inferi
Just wonder what will happen to Ominis considering he won't have children probably.
I hope they don't kill him off
Either him, a sibling or a cousin would be tom riddles great grandfather or something
We don’t know that
He’s likely to not be involved in the family tradition of arranged marriages due to both his disability and disdain for the Dark Arts.
But no saying he can’t find love himself. And marry who he wants, not who he’s expected to.
He’s practically estranged from his family. He still has some pull but he’s not bound to them
I would guess that Ominis was Marvolo Gaunt's younger brother
I mean he would still carry the family name and the Gaunt line died out. Unless he changed his name or something, but I think HP makes it clear that the Gaunt line is extinct
Maybe he would take his wife's name, maybe he was gay or just never married.
That’s under the assumption he doesn’t abandon the name entirely and start his life and line anew
I feel he’d change it and rid himself of his family entirely. Start again. Make something better with a new family name
Yeah that would be an option too - it would mean the line is still technically not extinct though, but could be an option.
The Gaunt line still exists mixed with other bloodlines from Gaunt women marrying others.
The parselmouth ability must still exist in those bloodlines as a result of having a Gaunt in their ancestry
In class was likely the original plan.
Slytherin Number 1! ☝🏻
Yeah agreed lol
Certainly would’ve built the world more than a shallow companion.
And honestly, if the devs decided to have three companions that were Gryffindor, Slytherin and Hufflepuff, then fine! That’s what they felt like doing.
Maybe there’s a Claw in HL2! Or 3!
And actually made the Astronomy Professor actually useful.
She doesn’t even show up for the final fight.
Even Professor Onai does and her lesson was only a montage with no dialogue to teach you a spell
Professor Shah doesn’t even give you an assignment and teach you anything .
It’s a full cutscene with dialogue and you get nothing from it
And if you can’t access one common room, then that’s what New Game is for!
I feel like she was supposed to teach you about Astronomy tables but it got shifted to Amit so he actually contributed
That’s one thing the PS2 games got right. Where does Harry learn new spells at the magic school? In his magic classes!
Why on Earth didn’t they structure it like Bully? Except that instead of silly costumes, new bikes and map markers, you got spells that unlock new sections of the map or helped in combat.
And if you hadn’t played it, go out and buy Bully today. It’s a fantastic game.
I have a convoluted theory — maybe Anne has a blood curse and rookwood only set it off when he attacked her, and maybe that’s why their uncle was so certain she couldn’t be cured and why he thought Sebastian was so much like his father after his repeated attempts to cure her, if his father had tried to cure his mother, too, and that’s what actually caused their deaths?
That… sounds to complicated to be portrayed well in a story.
Real talk: I don’t have the game yet. Where do you learn most spells?
Classes and assignments
Assignments given by professors
First couple from lessons, certain ones from a certain questline, the rest from assignments
So… They restructured how school works to fit what they wanted to do with gameplay.
Yeah.. the class system isn't like Bully
It's not a school sim
Actually, no. That’s not fair. They’d have had to do that a bit anyway but they could’ve done it a bit better.
Nor is Bully, really.
You know what I mean though lol
Blood curses are prominent from birth. It’s not something that lies dormant,
It’s spelled out how Seb and Anne’s parent died. Carbon monoxide poisoning from a faulty lamp. Because they were so focused on studying and research they had no idea until they dropped dead.
Solomon has given up because they don’t know what curse was put on Anne, giving no idea on how to cure it.
At any rate, that could’ve helped with pacing. Why can’t we get to these sections of the castle yet? Because we need carpe retractum to pull that lever and we’re only learning that in December.
That’s a perfectly valid reason.
You don’t learn flying until several main quests in.
Or Beasts. The same with the RoR and vivariums. You don’t get them until much later
Why can’t we fly to this section of the map? Because we need to fly over a mountain range and you’re not good enough to fly against the wind at those heights.
I did hear about that, yeah.
Why can’t u fly to this section of the map? Because there is an invisible barrier everywhere
That part is kinda silly lol but high level stuff is down there so being able to make it through the tunnel is the test of whether you're ready for it
Why can’t you fly that section, over the fields? Because your broom is terrible and you need to improve it to go that far.
I was just spit balling. Like I said, I don’t actually have the game yet.
Different areas of the map have an enemy level range that leans towards the higher level number depending on your current level.
So at level 10 or lower an area with a 10-20 level enemy range will be at 10 and increase as you do. Once you’re level 20 or above. The enemies are always level 20 in that area.
So you can’t just go anywhere as you could come across enemies much higher level than you that have more health and hit harder
Yeah, I’m familiar with that kind of system. Honestly, I prefer beef gates to WoW style map zones but that’s just me.
Do you already know the whole story? @fleet idol cuz is bound to get spoiled for you in here, if not
Just takes generic enemies that I took out here and turns them into unkillable bullet sponges in the next field.
No but I’m aware of the risks.
The way you're talking, Idk if you'll like the game or not 😅
with the dodge tallent, it is extremely easy to get through it, though
@toxic garden the imperius curse helps too
Or just go invis
Eh. Bits of the gameplay will probably annoy me but I’ll deal with it. I’m probably overemphasising my dislike too.
petrificus totalus
I like slytherins common room too 
Slytherin common room is cool but it was also awesome being in thw gryffindor common room after reading all the books and watching all the movies
Professor Fig dies
Lmao I can’t with this
@vital zenith he had it coming 🤣
I mean he did lmao
I thought professor fig was gonna be revealed to be a bad guy tbh
Nah he good
same
You mean while you were playing the game? Or before it came out?
Yeah I had a feeling about that too, but it would have been too obvious.
Would have preferred that tbh
Would have been way more interesting.
Same with Lodgok. Have him betray you or something.
Having Fig be a secret bad guy just helping you because if your link to Ancient magic to finish his wife’s work or something would have been waaayyy more interesting
While I was playing, things just seemed a bit to straight forward towards the end and I thought he'd be a twist
I definitely thought Lodgok was going to betray us
same, i guess they surprised us more with him not betraying us then
Lodgok kind of did betray us by giving Ranrok the journal.
The main thing I wish they did differently was make a larger difference when it came to endings depending on what path you went down
Yeah, like I thought for sure we'd come out of the cave with the helm and find an army of Poachers/Loyalists
He did do that in hopes of saving us though tbf
true
There's part of me wanting to replay the game just for the azkaban mission
Same but apparently you can’t revisit it ;w;
Is there a new game plus option to keep hold of your skills and spells?
It was a bit of a miss to lock off those kinds of areas after you finish their quests
Yeah I really thought it’d be like the one eyed witch statue passage thing
Nah however, if you created a save file while doing so then you can replay it
I can't remember, do Hufflepuffs ever learn what comes of that retired auror? Is she ok after....whatever the heck that prisoner did to her?
Wow sebastions sidequest ends abruptly
Tbf the main storyline ends abruptly as well.
No it doesn't continue afterwards lol
I think you get an owl mail saying shes oke
The harlow boss fight was hilarious
Natasai was like : this is going to be a tough fight!
And Harlow was like: You finally caught me, prepare to die!
And i was just like: Good Job Natsai you're a good friend, we'll be heroes. Oh scuse me one second,
AVADA KEDAVRA
-37,000 Damage
and he lives after that
The Gang Boss who lived
He'll be welcomed back to azkaban a hero
Is it worth it to finish the field guide? Do I get a quest with the o.w.l.s or more cutscenes or anything?
Nope, you get a pat on the back from Weasley and that’s about it.
Do You Have To Finish The Field Guide To Do The O.W.L.S???…
There are no OWLs.
Same…
There is not they said prepare for your OWLS…
Yup, there is no OWL exam, and no confirmation over what you want to do in your life. You just have Prof. Weasley tell you "good job" and then you get your House Cup. That's it.
😂
…
Yeah. The ending was very much rushed.
This is really dissatisfying though. I do hope the developers will eventually create a DLC for your OWLS or even a sixth or seventh year.
I can't help but feel like the ending was the very last thing that was worked on. Like, they spend all their time and resources working on the beginning and middle, and by the time they started working on the end they realized they needed to release the game.
Yes I got that same feeling. It all feels a bit rushed. But either way, I’m just glad the game is here and I’m really happy with the way it turned out.
Oh yeah! The rushed ending doesn't change the fact that this is a really solid game and a banger of a first entry in this new Hogwarts franchise.
The game is really rushed and im really dissappointed we didnt get to take the OWLs they hinted at it all game
also feel lied to about the "good" and "bad" endings because the endings are the same
Yeah, there really wasn't much of a morality system in this game. It was more about whether or not your character was a bit of a jerk or not.
If you say not everyone should know it, does that mean I can't learn avada Kadabra anymore?
My least favorite part of the game is how long winter is. It’s like 3/5 of the main missions or more. I wish it turned to spring much earlier in the game
No, Sabastian will teach you any curses you don't already know once you finish his relationship quest.
And what if I just sent him to jail
Then no curses for you.
Really?
Yup, Sabastian gets arrested off screen and you never see him again.
That can't be true 😂
This game doesn't do endings all that well.
This game sucks
The ending was rushed, and there's a lot of loose ends unresolved.
i just hope dlcs so they can explore those things
Idk how this game got so many good reviews it's just been disappointment after disappointment for me
also i really feel like they lied to us because in the cinematic trailer it shows the mc getting their acceptance letter but when playing the game it just dives right into us going to hogwarts
The overall game is good. Not mindblowing, but it's been good. The excessive good press is more of a counter backlash due to the unfair criticisms it's gotten. It's just the endings that've been the biggest point of criticism from most fans.
like i think the story is a overall 7.5/10
i think its better than the fantastic beasts movies plots except the 1st one
It's fine
Yeah, it's perfectly fine. It's clearly a game made for the fans, so if you're not a huge fan of the world, then the game definitely won't offer much.
And as for the MC, yeah their backstory is more of a "whatever the player wants it to be."
which is fine but i really wish we were like a halfblood or something
also i really dont like how dementors are just in 1 scene in general
they wouldve been a really cool game feature
They can’t please everyone. I for one think the reviews are justified. However, doesn’t mean it’s perfect. I got some constructive criticism as well.
"The keepers like in Quidditch?" Facepalm
Kinda found that funny lol, but sebas is my bae
Ominis my man
He's a bit grumpy for my taste, understandable but still grumpy
Emotional damage haha
Well that tends to happen when you were raised by elitists who tortured the poor for fun.
I know just not the kind of person I really get along with.
"Well then invisible secret, ancient magic passageway here we come. I'm temptd to hold my breath."
I think he might have had the kind of personality I like before Anne gets sick but sigh like I understandable but grumpy.
Why not both though?
Both are precious and need hugs
Let my MC take them to the three broomsticks pls Avalanche
Didnt say i dislike seb. Seb is best boy ever!
I wish we could've had more House exclusive activities. Like, actually hang out with our classmates outside of school.
When i did my slytherin playthrough i was so envious that you can hang with them there and i love their common room
Omg yeah
He became a bit more ready to manipulate friends for the sake of his goals for Anne that’s for sure.
If he’s not pressuring Ominis, he’s trying to convince MC to keep helping him, even if they object to what he’s doing and getting them to talk to Ominis to try and sway him
Because he knows Ominis won’t listen to him but the MC is a less known agent.
To be fair he's still better than Gareth.
"Are you trying to get me to steal Billy Wig stings for you?"
"It's not like I'm trying to get you to break into Gringotts (yet), but yes, yes I am now go steal more stuff for me!"
Lol he also says that doing the favour for him will make up for “letting him down in potions class” if you didn’t get him the Fwooper feather.
Like “bruh I don’t know you, stop asking me to commit petty theft for you”
Typical weasleys
Kind of reminds me of someone I know. If they want you to do something for them they lie then if that fails try to manipulate you, guilt you or make it seem like they're doing you a favour by letting you do their work. Do not like them, do not like Gareth
I mean he's a funny guy regardless
probably why he hasn't been punched in the face, or given this is a world of magic been hexed repeatedly
It'd be nicer if we had a quest of one of harry potter's ancestors in potions class, as they're known potioneers
I mean, I honestly can't even say he's that manipulative. He just kinda pesters you until you do what he wants. He never really has any ground to manipulate you, he just kinda asks for a favor and keeps asking till you cave.
He's a sneaky Gryffindor, but he's still a Gryffindor. They're not exactly subtle about what they want.
Guys which house has the best missions already finished main story for gryffindor
Each house just gets one quest, but I'd probably say Hufflepuff. It takes you to Askaban and has the biggest punch to it.
I have no idea what the slytherin quest is
You give a squid some toast.
The only difference between the four houses in regards to the story is certain bits of dialogue and how you uncover Jackdaw's tomb. That's it.
:/
Every house has a different quest to lead them to Jackdaw
Ravenclaws is the weakest by far imo
Man if i had to pick a favorite quest....
Weaker than feeding a squid toast?
Yes
It’s boring. You don’t ago anywhere or meet anyone new
Sheesh, i just can't remember back that far in the story
Yeah...the reason the rumor came out that Ravenclaw has the least amount of quests is due to the fact that their singular house quest is virtually nothing, and you don't have a relationship quest with any of their members.
Amit tags along for a story quest and helps you uncover the astronomy circles. But you don't go on a personal journey with anyone from Ravenclaw.
Right right
To be fair they're very impersonal people
Like who do you even meet in the ravenclaw common room besides amit
Samantha Dale and that one trouble maker with the glasses.
Oh sam and that funny looking kid with a nasal congestion
The NPC classmates are also the weakest when it ones to personality. Everett and Amit don’t have a side quest, despite being two of the Ravenclaws you first introduce yourself to.
Samantha has the only interesting side quest.
It’s probably why they made Everett be the one to introduce you to flying and why Amit shows you the Astronomy tables
When Prof. Shah could and should have been the one to show you in her class, considering she doesn’t teach you any spells or mechanics unlike every other teacher
Man.... in hufflepuff you got an even lesser known crowd too, you don't even meet poppy in there right
No, you meet Poppy. She's helping a cat.
I thought that was the other girl
I’m pretty sure a lot of Ravenclaw stuff got cut and ravenclaw students were shuffled around to instead introduce you to certain mechanics when you should have just learned them in their respective class
Amit also comes with you to the mines but that’s really all he gets.
Ammit doesnt cast any damage spells when in combat with him
Amit tags along and then complains the entire time.
He lies about his competence with Gobbledegook and then complains when you go on an adventure.
pretty much yes
He was funny tho cuz he was like “this is like the adventure books I read”
lol a true Ravenclaw. Loves to read about adventure, hates to go on adventures. 😂 /jk
Which doesn’t make much sense either.
Why bother getting a third agent when you could just steal the plans and bring them to Lodgok somewhere away from prying eyes?
Amit wasn’t needed. It was just a way to try and placate ravenclaws for the lack of an actual relationship questline
Yeah, Luna Lovegood he is not.
I laughed cuz when I looked at the plans they were legit pictures of a huge drill. I didn’t need him to translate pictures haha
Ok i swear it was only addelaide arthur and Lenora
Did i somehow miss poppy
Everett was introduced doing a prank and even claims to be a prankster to keep things exiting.
But then there’s no side quest to do pranks around the school or anything.
It’s a one note character trait that doesn’t even persist. Absolute wasted opportunity
Exactly lol
Didn’t need Amit at all.
When I did my Hufflepuff intro you don’t talk to poppy it’s Arthur who’s chasing the cat
Poppy was just sitting on the floor vibing and didn’t say hi to me
At least you don't have the one dimensional imdela
I feel like the thing that was lacking most from Ravenclaw was their creativity. You don't meet anyone with the "out there ideas" that make Ravenclaw so unique.
i agree, i liked the pranks but i was expecting there to be some other quest with him
They're all just kinda dorky nerds.
Which makes sense. They fit the archetype well enough. Even Samantha who we even low key calls out that she should be a Hufflepuff cuz she’s into plants 🪴
Samantha dale is pretty cool i admit
I think Slytherin is the only one that has you actually talk to some moan NPCs (Sebastian and Ominis)
Making it the best introduction segment by far.
The rest are just meh and don’t persist beyond that point.
Like Samantha and her plants. No plant based quest, just fixing a goof by her brother
Hell, even Imelda gets a lot of character insight (if not development) if you choose to do the racing quests.
We got it nice in Slytherin cuz Omi and Seb play a big role with the major questline of the relic and triptych
Yes but nobody likes her
Yah too bad her dad took a curse to the knee.. lol
I didnt realise i had it so well in slytherin
So who do you meet in gryffindor, Garret Natty and....
Still, the main Slytherin trio all get adequate screen time. Gryffindors are mostly there for punchlines, Hufflepuffs range from weirdos to bullies, and Ravenclaws are just kinda...there.
Slyherin secret rooms - 2
Other founders -0
I actually liked how Imelda opened up to us about how her bestie was that one girl who’s in to the merpeople but they fell apart when Imelda became a jock
They’re also the most in depth and nuanced NPs imo.
Natty and Poppy are great, but they both fit very rigidly in their House archetypes.
One is wanting Justine and to go blindly against the bad guys, the other is an animal loving person
Seb and Ominis are way more compkex in their personalities. Ominis especially being a Gaunt completely against family tradition and views
Cressida iirc
Oh.... i thought she was an annoying first year lol
I can’t remember if you meet Natty or that other redheaded Gryffindor lol Prewett
Nope she’s in 5th year
You can see her in some of your classes
Man how did i miss HER haha
Exactly! Imelda embodies ambition with how she desires to be the best. Sabastian embodies determination with how he strives to cure his sister. And Ominis embodies leadership in how he tries to go his own path. All have nuances to their Slytherin traits that the other houses are just lacking.
Natty you don’t meet she’s just hanging out on the sofa. It’s the one girl who tries to do speechless magic, Gareth, and Nelle
And as Amit isn’t a companion, just a glorified regular NPC
The only one where you actually get to meet a Companion (and pseudo companion in Ominis) is Slytherin
I can't even think of anyone at the moment besides imelda who has side quests in slytherin
The mermaid girl has one.
She was slytherin?
Yup, she wants to be an ambassador to the merpeople.
She’s Imelda ex best friend and is yes
Well the more you know lol
I really liked her quest cause it showed a morally good side to Slytherin traits. She was cunning and ambitious, but for a good cause.
I ingored her a bit because i stole her artifact
Exactly and even with the traits they embody, there’s nuance with it. Like actual reasoning for why that trait is strongest in them
Yah after the last trial she really opens up. Need more of her
If she were a true slyherin she would have duelled me for it
Did anyone do that one quest for the pink haired Hufflepuff girl? I thought that was a fun subversion of Hufflepuff traits.
Yes and all I kept thinking is how can I get my witch to have an ombré hair color like her
I like how it shows how Hufflepuffs can warp their loyalty and sense of diligence to being jerks. lol
My favourite thing about her is that she says “I could get them myself, but I don’t want to.”
No excuse or forced backstory reasoning.
She just thinks herself above the task but you can do it instead
She legit was like “I could collect them myself BUT I don’t want to so can you”
lol I just love the whole "I can't stand seeing my classmates suffer to being so hideous and boiled." And I was just sitting there like "Ah yes...house of the kind and loyal."
You know who she is right? In lore?
I actually do not
Inventor of a very popular Beautification potion
Has her own Famous Withes and Wizards card
So her saying that she’ll be known for her work is a nod to that
Ooooh cool!
Anyone else think the rookwood boss fight was really spontaneous. I know it was for shock value but the dude shows up and goes " YO you're near the end we fight now!" And then you disappirate to some place and fight...... like ok feels a little rushed
The entire ending was rushed. I legit thought I could have more time to 100% the game before the final quest before I realized I was doing the final quest. lol
They definitely could have done more with him than a few cutscenes and then one fight where you delete him from existence.
Anticlimactic imo. There was never any sense of threat or anything.
Just a cutscene and that’s it, one of the Big Bads dead
Well i wouldve tied Harlow in to rookwood, and i totally thought they would've
If i had written it, would've had natty ending manadatory before the wand, you fight harlow, then rookwood kidnaps her and you chase after him.
It was odd there was no cinematic ending after the fight. He just gets deleted and that’s that… I better go tell natty lol
Yeah, our fight with Harlow felt more like tying up a loose end than anything else.
Agreed to all
Harlow could've been the pretext, be like "Boss, save me!" And rookwood would've been like "NOPE" steals natty
Jack horner move
I think the pacing of the overall felt a bit weird, felt like we were just collecting needed skills to travel and boom its over. Also it fel like Harlow was a bigger threat than Rookwood, even tho Harlow was just a side quest. Rookwood was too easy, too.
Can't open a respository without losing a dozen men
Yeah same.
Wasted opportunity for all of them imo
They’re was no threat or tension. Just bossfight, dead. That’s it. This is the dude everyone is terrified of
Yah the pacing definitely was off. It’s like we have all these plot lines we need to close up so let’s just chekc them off the list but we ran out of budget so we’ll have a big dragon and a color pattern boss fight..
Rookwood was also the boss i was more looking forward to, but it was over before i knew it
Like I said, they spent a lot of time planning out and working on the beginning and middle, but the end seemed tacked on at the last second.
Oh I didn't even realized I'd been killing him by the time it was over.
Like a bad movie reshoot lol
no wonder, really. I feel like the trolls were more substance than him lol
Yeah no ranrok goblin god mode, just a dragon
" oh I'm sorry i think you got the wrong game, skyrim is over there Alduin"
Good thing i didn't use the voice on him
The dragon would’ve been a cool final form, but it never feels like we had a mono e mono fight with him.
I think final form shouldve been emerging striaght out of hogwarts castle as a giant shadow goblin and the students help you fight it, you know the people who you've been a slave to the entire time.
I finished the game today :)
Do I need to complete my field guide book to 100% before I accept the quest "The House Cup"?
Congrats! It’s up to you but doesn’t make a difference. You can continue to play after the House Cup quest!
ah okay thank you for your answer. It confuses me a little bit. Prof. Weasley suggested to complete the field guide before o.w.l.s but accepting the quest would mean ending the school year and doing the test I guess
Her dialogue doesn’t change either way. I think it’s more role playing aspect that you are still working on the guide to get ready for your OWLs cuz you’ve been there less than a year.
There is currently no actual test or exam you take (I wish there was). So a lot of it is left to your imagination. The credits roll after the House Cup quest which left me wanting more. Season changes to spring and you can free roam. Any quests that were season locked become unlocked if you didn’t do them during the prior season.
Ah alright thank you for the answer!
What spells are good to beat ranrock
that was my biggest letdown of the entire plot. I wanted to take the dang OWLs
Same!!! 😭
the closest you get is the girl in the library giving you increasingly nitpicky trivia
So final boss was a nice touch, but frustrating how some of the magic orbs would NOT explode. Can't say how many times it was hitting and not exploding and disappearing 😑
Also, i chose to harness that evil. But didn't notice anything other than letting another person down. Does anything change?
No the only difference is the cutscene you get after beating Ranrok.
It’s either cutscene A or Cutscene B
Release the power, or seal it
would have been kinda cool to have at least a cosmetic change if one decided to release it and keep if for yourself. now i just look like a 🍆 to Fig after all we been through etc 😂
I just did the last task for Sebastian but I send him to Azkaban:( so I don’t know how to get Avada kedrava now?
Same answer over here, friend. Can't learn it if you sent him away
When you go through multiple revlio page lists for Hogwarts and are still missing two
You don't
This really helped me figure out what I’m missing.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Wpsw6xszSbjut9PkIPoRh1_z513vvMKWRuNHDvHiS8I/edit#gid=0
I needed this. Thanks
Not sure that this is the right section for this question. Please let me know if I should move this question to a different section. can you complete sebastian's questline without learning the unforgivable curses?
yes
Yes
There’s no consequences to whether you choose to learn them or not.
Just know that if you change your mind and want to learn them later, you can buy only after making a certain choice in a certain quest in his questline.
So not learning to learn the unforgivable curses will not have any affect on sebastian's questline right(like for example not being able to complete the questline)?
Nope, learning them is entirely optional and has no affect on any of your questlines
So, I can decline learning them and still complete all of sebastian's quests right?
I heard certain choices you make would affect that quest. As in learning the curses and then might not see him later if you turn him in. But i think all it ends with is a trophy/achievement if you do see him through the end of the main quest
Pretty much , I don’t even think you get a chance to heal his sister
And you are a Slytherin why wouldn’t you want to learn them 🧐
Nope you do not
Didn’t think so, it’s been taking me forever to get to level 34 😩
One thing I worry about sebastian is that, seeing how he killed his own uncle, would he have done something similar to ominis if he was more adamant about sebastian not taking ghe relic? Would sebastian have killed ominis if we didn't come to a conclusion how we did? Or used the imperius curse without his consent? This is one of the nagging voices in my head when we consider not turning him in.
I have all quests done and never got to heal the sister
the reason that I selected that sebastian should go to Azkaban was because I thought I was going to fight him when he find out about Ominis plan, but now it really not happen and I did not learn avada kedabra
You're probably out of range
It only happened with the yellow ones. But i was almost under them and it would explode.
does the graphorn have any. weaknesses?
Yeah use mostly damage spells on it and dodge and protego when you need to plants can help too and use thunderbrew potion
Beat that yesterday
That's what made me sad he deserved that at least
That's what you get for being a snitch lol
Lmao
Anyone else surprised that the keepers just avada kedavra'd isidora?
I was like
👀
No he went the deep end he should've learned to let go instead of trying to cure her
Like naimh said
Something something just because there's darkness doesn't mean you have to erase it
Death is part of the circle of life
Yeah they kinda mirror each other with Isidora tryna save her dad and Sebastian tryna save his sister and they both turn bad
Lion king be like
Instead of being away trying to find a cure he should've accepted her fate and spend more time with her.
She doesn't have much time left anyway so at least make good memories with the time you do have left.
In the end she lost her brother and her uncle and she's going to die alone and sad instead of with her uncle and brother at her side.
We don’t actually know for certain if the curse was leading to an early death or if it was simply constant pain for the rest of her life.
Yeah she looked sickly, but she probably couldn’t sleep great with the pain.
His want to cure her was in part because everyone else had given up and regular healers hadn’t found a way, so his only choice, in his mind, was to turn to the same branch of magic that had cursed her in the first place.
I somewhat get it but at the same time it's like trying to find a cure in asbestos that gave you lung cancer in the first place
Not all curses are done with the purpose of killing a persons. So em are simply life,one affliction that could also be passed down from generation to generation (at least in the case of a blood curse)
Dark magic was never about curing or undoing harm to people.
Yes but my point is dark magic was never going to be a solution because it never has been harnessed to do good
No
But Seb hoped that if dark magic made it, dark magic could also undo it.
The stuff about the Relic claiming it could undo dark curses really didn’t help.
As it demands a dark sacrifice and he never looked beyond the fact it claimed it could be used as a cure. It’s why he didn’t think that controlling a bunch of Inferi, right next to Feldcroft could possible put anyone in danger.
He got tunnel vision with it.
A better analogy would be trying to use a gun for good. Like yeah you can use it to shoot bad guys, but a gun in essence is made to do harm. It cannot undo the damage it's done.
Yeah
Just wanna check. This place is for spoiler like i can ask for help that include spoiler right?
Yes
Did anyone play the game again after the final quest?
Help me I cannot decide if I should send sebastian to azkabannnnn.
Is it morally right thing to do?
Oh he teaches you the spell twice?
Like after you exit the catacomb he can teach you there. So there's another point where he will teach you?
If you know it now then you can send him
But is it the right thing to do?
I did it
Cause I thought me and ominis will fight him and then learn the spell
But it did not happen
Ouch so did you load back to go through it again?
I can’t cause I continue playing thinking that i might need another quest but no
Just thinking of finishing the last keeper quest and do everything right and %100 in another house
Go for it! 💪🏻
Should I tho, a lot of hours I have 53 hours of game time 😔
53 hours????? Dude i'm on 115 hours
do you think sebastian will be included in future sequels (if the developers decide to make more quests, i hope)?
as we have the choice to turn him in or not and i was wondering if they would totally exclude him from the upcoming quests because of that or create two routes, for example when you don't turn him in you get quest with him featured and if you do, then you just don't get it or there's someone else in his place
It’s the only choice in the whole game with actual consequences (just taking items from fetch quests doesn’t count because the only consequence is the NPC is mad at you)
But this one fully removes Sebastian from the school and means you no longer have a means to learn the Unforhivables.
It’s why quite a few think that Sebs questline is actually better than the main questline. Because the decision you make near the end actually matters and has consequences
honestly i like him and i hope we see more of him
also i would really enjoy hangout option or some companion system that lets you wander the school with npcs or something
Let us go for a butterbeer with Sebby and Ominis!
I would do very little else lol
hogwarts feels alive but it's a pity we can't interact with companions besides quests at all
and being able to freely attend classes too. that would be amazing
I kind of wish they went the TES route for a sequel - giving every student in game a name and maybe one or two lines of dialogue. Even just having the Arithmancy, Muggle Studies etc Professors in game with some small dialogue would go a long way for immersion. Also having specific times and being able to skip certain hours in addition to sleeping and sitting. Also giving the NPCs schedules so that teachers can be found wondering their quarters at night and the classrooms during the day.
some people be hypocrites snitching on Sebastian but using the very curses he taught you 🤦♂️
"he was sussy" aint no excuse
It’s me, I’m hypocrites 😔
I taught the spell myself with mods before I was able to do anything. :)))
I ant believe he used Avada Kedavra!
Anyway there’s some poachers here.
ah hem
AVADA KEDAVRA!
Should I turn Sebastian in after the Crucio and Imperio or wait until after he uses AK? Does it affect my completion of the game? I refused to learn both spells anyway
How would I turn him in? Go to Black?
You’ll be given an option to do so when talking to Ominis. But frankly, even if you don’t learn the curses, turning Sebastian in is completely underwhelming. He’s arrested off screen, and there are no follow up quests for it. You’re just kinda done.
Thanks. That is rather disappointing. “Doing the right thing” but sort of “Meh” 😢
yeah wish they showed something?
like at least a dialogue about him rotting in azkaban. i feel this diserved more
You also then talk to a very devastated Ominis and find out both he and Anne are questioning if it was really the right thing to do
And sad Ominis breaks my heart so it’s the path of (possible? Hopeful?) redemption for me.
Of course if Sebby messes up again that’s it. This is his last chance
Yeah, the game really assumes you spare Sebastian since it just feels the most fulfilling from a writing perspective.
I spared him first time around as Hufflepuff. This time as Ravenclaw I am tempted to grass on him. 😈
Be ready for devastated Ominis.
what are the benefits and negatives of turning sebastian in and not turning him in?
There’s no benefits for turning him in.
Not turning him in means you can still learn the Unforgivables if you didn’t choose to learn them during his questline
thanks!
Wrong, he didn't lie about his competence with Gobbledook, he was simply just over confident in his abilities. He isn't good at speaking it, but better at reading and understanding it. Which makes sense coz he is a self taught speaker. Even Lodgok mentions it. He literally kept translating the Schematics in the mine for us, yeah I know the last schematic was a picture of drills and we could have figured it out itself, but the credit is due where it is. Not to mention that the Picture of the drill was just a picture, the knowledge that it is a extremely huge drill that is gonna be too big for the mine comes from Amit's translation of the Schematic. And he doesn't tags along by his own choice, we ask for his help, and as for the Complaining part so it was reasonable and justified on his part coz we literally tricked him into risking his life. Yeah , when we ask for his help in the Astronomy tower, He straight up asks us if this is gonna be dangerous, and instead of him giving a yes or a no, we just vaguely say , " oh , i just need ur help in translating some documents, and sirona trusts Lodgok, lol. We should have straight up told him, yeah it's gonna be dangerous Amit coz aside from meeting Lodgok we are gonna head straight into a Goblin mine and carry out a mass genocide. This was literally such a horrible and Psychotic behaviour on MC's part. But in after all this, Amit heads straight first into the mine with us, without asking any questions, and helps us in finding and translating the plan and even fighting alongside the Goblins, even when he is clearly uncomfortable and weary. That's a sign of a true friend. Someone who hates doing something but still does out of sheer loyalty and and for the sake of friendship, is a true friend.
I guess by that point the MC is more accustomed adventuring with people who know how to go on adventures. Lol
Has anyone finished the game? Can you let me know just how many years you play through to get to the current endings? Are they adding more stuff later? Curious
It’s only one year
There’s also technically only one ending. The “endings” are minor at best.
The main quest endings are literally just
Noise your cutscene, A or B
Has no consequence beyond which cutscene you see.
After that it’s the exact same
when you unlock the graphorn does the music remind anyone else of how to train your dragon
finshed ? Im at 20%
Yes, on fourth character play through now
I'm at 6 GB screenshots folder but not finished the 1st walkthrough yet
I’m stuck on In The Shadow of the Relic Defend yourself against Solomon, any Help or tips ?
the actual fighting part?
The Very End Solomon stuck in ground
I just beat ranrock with no health
I can't remember that part exactly
I just beat ranrock with no health and with no health poisons, and I’m lvl@25 👍
does proffessor fig die in all endings
what difficulty
Yes he dies in both endings
the goat :(((
bro u just spoiled it thanks a lot
This is literally the Story Spoilers channel
Not my fault you are in and read the spoilers in the spoilers channel
i don’t know how to read i thought this was the anime channel
Easy lol
I’m stuck on In The Shadow of the Relic Defend yourself against Solomon, any Help or tips ?
Damage a Frozen Enemy - Duellling Feats
There a wand stuck out of ground
Currently on second character. I have one of each started.
Finished main story on Hufflepuff, now on Ravenclaw
any help please if i open the repository and get the power to myself does it give me any abilities after the main story ?
Omgggg i said the same thing in other channel. Yessss it does reminds me of how to train your dragon soundtrack
I always turn inferi into bomb then throw at Solomon. Also i use thunder brew and maxima potion, and venomous tentacula
Its true when they say potions and plants are your teammate during combat.
He or his wand is stuck/Frozen in the ground
Im on the mission "in the shadow mine" - how much more left to the end of story so i can do every side quest possible and not finish the game?
A few more, think it's like 4 more after that or something
Being honest, I hate when games kill off characters you love like bro, don’t take away the friendly ol’ goblin 😭
I wish you could’ve saved him with accio instead of sitting there being like, “dang he ded”
Yessss thissss. I was like bro why aren't you using protego?! Dang it
Poor Lodgok
i just wish your choices matter at all
10 more, though a couple are short. You still have 2 more trials, too. The point of no return should be very obvious - when it's time to ||defend||, that's it - the final quest also literally has the word final in it, so...
If you report him, no. If you don't, yes
RIP my boi
He got what he deserved. There can only be one dark wizard 🌚
I mean im not there yet but i know what happens. I decided im gonna report him cause i dont like obsessed ppl who stop at nothing. Besides, he is like 15 years old and as far as a i know he kills his uncle in a fit of rage.. so would he kill me or other ppl too? He is just meh.
It will probably cost me Avada Kedavra, but im sure i'll be just fine without it.
You’ll get the AK and send him to jail after that
Just dont click on “don’t teach me” then you’ll miss it of course
I mean his quests are great and all but at the end - nope, i dont need this, bye 😅
no snitchin
So ive just unlocked creatures, are shiny pokemon rare
like a a grey birb with a star to its name
Not that rare found 3 shiny nifflers at one burrow
Oh ig its not rare then
Just be ready for a very sad Ominis.
The only rare ones are a shiny Male Unicorn and a Shiny Female Graphorn
Sad about Fig and Lodgok. Incidentally, we were told we would be expelled if we used Unforgivable Curses. Does that actually happen?
Nah
Dang so thoughts and Sebastian and Solomon? Gotta say I wasn’t expecting that level of nuance around the dark magic.
I mean his obsession is understandable. He’s lost his parents and all he has left is his sister and an uncle that isn’t exactly supportive. He’s desperate, and put yourself in his shoes. Wouldn’t you be desperate too? I turned him in as well, but as a Hufflepuff it was actually an extremely difficult choice for me. I was torn between loyalty to Sebastian and doing the just and right thing by turning him in. That choice sucked (not in a bad way, like not saying it made the game worse. Like as a Hufflepuff where that decision caused me to clash against my own values)
I snitched on him so he can get to see azkaban like i did
Same, that fight came pretty unexpected
I was thinking of Dark Magic as being something deliberate and evil. However, when it was a split second choice to save Anne from the goblin. What would you do? Then the eventual AK. Even the Crucio was difficult as the only way to escape. Much more thought provoking than I expected
There's literally a spell for freezing someone in place, the fact that his mind went straight to Imperio speaks volumes
how do i get the second ending?
As Fig says at the very start.
It’s not about the magic, it’s about the one who wields it
The AK was even less understandable, and came out of nowhere.
There is no secret ending
It’s cutscene A or B at the Repository choice
oh
Everyone forgets this XD
dark magic is only dark because it was designed to hurt and kill
not incapitate
yeah, but there's people declining to use dark magic because it conflicts with their house. But as Fig said, its not about magic. just the one who wields and uses it. so youre free to do whatever you want.
Good point. I admit I hadn’t thought of that either
Diffindo was originally designed to cut fabric.
Yet it’s an offensive spell used in duels
Original intent of a spell doesn’t matter. What matters is the context in which it’s used.
Like Snape using AK on Dumbledore. Yes he killed him. But Dumbledore was dying slowly and painfully anyway. It was a mercy killing. And helped protect Draco from Voldemort
yeah ik but look at the spell itself
without anything else, crucio is just a torture spell, inperio is just a mind control spell, and avada kedavra is just execution
you cant exactly put something that causes extreme pain in a good light
some people enjoy extreme pain 🤷♂️
those people are weird🤷♂️
besides it isnt your average masochistic pain, its straight up i want to die kind of pain
But now I have put it in a good light
his obsession is understandable, his means are not, he's a completely unstable loose cannon, and having him free with all his rage on goblins and what he might think of as "dark" wizards, in addition to him just using unforgivables when he likes to, is just endangering everyone else
The seb quest was pretty bad anyway, it was just the same mission over and over again
you can only use unforgivable spells if either you are extremely strong mentally or if your unstable/insane/psychopathic
since you need intent for them to work correctly
any other spell that moved to goblin - or even Anne - out of the way, or a simple expelliarmus, would have worked, imperio was completely unnecessary
look, it was his sister, ofc he wouldve been pissed when a goblin (and he also suspects a goblin to have cursed his sister) tries to kill her
Harry even uses Expelliarmus as an offensive spell rather than simply to disarm.
In PoA in both the book and the film it’s used to knock Snape back into a walk and renders him unconscious.
she IS his family after all, and the amount of work he puts in trying to cure her shows how much he loves her
so yeah he probably hated that goblin, and thought expelliarmus was too good for it
a person blinded by rage and revenge wont exactly care about their target's wellbeing
I suppose Arresto Momentum, or either of the Levitation spells would have worked, or Protego on Anne.
Did that happen before or after Sebastian learned that Rookwood cursed Anne?
before, he only learns about rookwood's actions at the end
if it was just a wizard trying to kill his sister he probably wouldnt have used imperio
So his action was fuelled by hate
Seb blamed goblins for being the ones that cursed Anne. He held a very firm belief that goblins are the worst of the worst and don’t deserve mercy
It’s like Harry using Crucio on Bellatrix, even if his intent wasn’t fully there, he still used it out of anger and still hurt her, just not as badly as if the full power was behind it
I did notice that people who picked specific houses here actually do make similar arguments, tbh picking a Hogwarts house seems to be one of the most accurate personality tests it seems
yes, besides it was his sister that he tried to kill, who also happens to be the last person he still "loves"
probably thinking something along the lines of "you cursed my only family and now you want to kill her?"
I have done the MSQ as Hufflepuff because that was where I was sorted on the website. However I didn’t do enough of the ancillary stuff. Now doing the whole thing again as Ravenclaw.
Then planning to do Griffindor and finally Slitheryn.
Only the last one will (possibly) use the Dark Magic.
doesn't matter, even if he learns that it wasn't goblins he still has hatred for them, probably bad writing so that if you play that quest afterwards it still makes an ounce of sense
Harry also used Crucio on Carrow just for spitting on Minerva.
No threat of killing her. He only spat at her and Harry thought “yeah, that justifies unbearable torture”
hate is a strong thing after all
Odd that Harry did both of those but only ever used Expelliamus on Voldemort
a slight nudge in the wrong direction on a mentally unstable person who also happens to be able to use forbidden magic? easy recipe for disaster
if you think about it harry doesnt hate voldemort that much
he killed his parents when he was a baby, so no big memories
that's why the Jedi exist... owait
he never really harmed any of his friends or precious people directly
“
And he spat in her face.
Harry pulled the Cloak off himself, raised his wand, and said, “You shouldn’t have done that.”
As Amycus spun around, Harry shouted, “Crucio!”
The Death Eater was lifted off his feet. He writhed through the air like a drowning man, thrashing and howling in pain, and then, with a crunch and a shattering of glass, he smashed into the front of a bookcase and crumpled, insensible, to the floor.
“I see what Bellatrix meant,” said Harry, the blood thundering through his brain, “you need to really mean it.”
“
its kinda like meeting a childhood bully after a long time
would you hate them? probably not
would you be best friends? the lingering grudge would prevent that
tbh Harry was never a good character, more like a confused Anakin, but without a Palpatine whispering in his ear
voldemort never directly harmed harry himself
you ever fight a really annoying boss in a videogame?
you would hate the said boss not the final big guy who sent him
oh damn the old tower and the farm returned in d2
Seb using Imperio in retaliation to the very real threat of an enemy murdering your sister who can’t defend herself is justified imo. Solomon wasn’t protecting her.
Harry, who was 17 and should have known better, used crucio on a guy who only spat in the face of a witch who was more than capable of defending herself
nice😩
harry was pissed at the time, so was seb
the two people were trying to harm those precious to them
Exactly. But the situations are drastically different. Sebs anger was tinged with desperation. He reacted. He didn’t have the time to think it through.
Harry was watching the exchange between Carrow and Minerva for a while and didn’t intervene until Carrow spat on her.
besides, at the time both were not exactly stable, harry had just gone an entire year on the run right after losing his godfather and seb had hit a dead end on finding a cure for his sister only for a goblin to try and kill her
hp wasnt exactly known to be a prudent and wise person
I dont really feel any loyalty to Sebastian, he is a loose canon, unpredictable and i dont like that. I was already like "meh" when he used Imperio on that goblin but once i found out he killed his uncle, i was like nope, you gotta go. Turning him in is a right choice (at least for me) and im not gonna regret it when i get to that part of a game cause im stalling it as much as possible, lol.
this.
you obviously have morals and thats cringe
friendship over snitching
nobody likes a snitch
He used imperio to save his sister. Personally I don’t have issue with that. If someone is attacking family, you do whatever you have to to make sure they can never do it again.
yeah thats what i said but people kept saying that im wrong kek
The Avada Kedavra on Solomon was unjustified. I understand his emotion, but Solomon did not pose a significant threat to his or Anne’s safety. That’s why that was the line for me and I turned him in
I chose to not turn him in, because he is a character that I really like, and I think sending him to Azkaban was not the right choice, that only my opinion tho.
im pretty sure you kill plenty of people throughout the game
In self defense. I only kill Ashwinders, loyalists, and poachers that would kill me otherwise
Solomon actually tried to kill the MC tho
yeah but that wand of yours got the blood of hundreds if not thousands of people on it
He was trying to subdue. He’s an ex-auror. If he was trying to kill, you’d know it
True
we all know you wouldve killed solomon if you were given the option
forget about solomon, you wouldve massacred the entire school if you could
Nah, I wasn’t even going to use dark magic at all until I saw that in game it wasn’t black and white
Cringe is you dont have any.
You are reading my mind
