Hogwarts Legacy Defense Against the Dark Arts Class Walkthrough

Defense Against the Dark Arts Class is the fourth main quest in Hogwarts Legacy. This walkthrough will guide you through all objectives of the Defense Against the Dark Arts Class Main Mission.

Requirement: having completed Welcome to Hogwarts
Reward: 260 XP, Levioso
Quest Info: I attended Defense Against the Dark Arts class. It went well. I learned a new spell, Levioso, the Levitating spell. Then I learned how to use Levioso to break an enemy’s magical shield. On top of that I participated in my first duel and I’m honestly the natural talent. Perhaps I could give that unofficial dueling club a try?

Objectives:

Go to Defense Against the Dark Arts Class
Perform a Basic Cast on the Training Dummy
Cast Levioso on the Training Dummy, Followed by a Basic Cast
Duel Against Sebastian
Speak with Sebastian

Starting Location: Defense Against the Dark Arts

On your first day at Hogwarts, you’ve received an important compendium from Professor Weasley, the Wizard’s Field Guide, a book that should get you up to speed with the other fifth-year students. As Professor Fig looks into the mystery that set off the game, we must now attend our second class, Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Go to Defense Against the Dark Arts Class

From your starting point, press to reveal a golden wisp track and follow it to your destination. When you get to the classroom, press to start the quest. Shortly after the first cutscene, during which we learn about the importance of leaving your enemies defenseless, you’ll be presented with the tutorial to learn Levioso, the levitating spell allowing you to lift objects as well as people. As in the very first main quest, steady your wand with the left stuck and guide it along the symbol’s path to learn the spell. Don’t let go of the left stick and remember to press the corresponding button to gain speed and lose the red spark.

Perform a Basic Cast on the Training Dummy

After learning Levioso, press / for a Basic Cast on the training dummy.

Cast Levioso on the Training Dummy, Followed by a Basic Cast

Now cast Levioso by pressing + / + and / immediately after to complete this objective.

Duel Against Sebastian

Time for battle now! Cast Levioso on Sebastian, a Slytherin fellow, followed by repeated Basic Casts to whittle down his health bar. Remember to press / to cast Protego when prompted. Rinse and repeat until Sebastian falls off the battle grounds.
