Hogwarts Legacy offers you the opportunity to embrace the dark side of power magic. The famous torture spell is called by different names, Endoloris, Doloris or even Crucio in Latin. As the name suggests, it forces the target to writhe in pain, preventing it from acting. But that’s far from the only effect of the spell.

Conditions for obtaining Cruciatus
There are a total of 34 spells in Hogwarts Legacy, 31 of which are unmissable. This is not the case with the 3 Forbidden Spells, as the game gives you the choice of whether or not to learn them during the sequel to Sebastian Pallow’s quests. Their learning is linked to your dialogue choices during the different phases, and it is possible not to learn them. But in this case, it is irreversible and your wizard will never be able to use them. These spells make combat easier, but they are not necessary for anything.
