unforgivable curses

[D_E_V_O_U_R_E_R]

On different sites they give different level requirements, some say it starts at level 16 for the first some say 23. Anybody know the exact level requirements for each of the 3 unforgivable curses?

Thanks ahead,
PS: If you can add the dialogue options necessary, would be great... most guides tell you it is with Sebastian's side-quest but then forget to add the dialogue options you need to get them.

I'm not sure there's any hardset level requirements except for the talent tree which is 16 and 22 for the extra effects. You can get the spells whenever you do the various "In the shadow of..." questline with Sebastian. Just keep an eye on your quest log, you get the first one after the first trial and halfway into the second Act during the Fall season.

For the dialog it's... pretty obvious. Sebastian essentially says "would you like me to teach you this one?" at certain points and your dialog is essentially "Yes I'd like to" and "Eh I'd better not". Just stay supportive of his endeavors and be a Yes Man and you'll get them.

And I can't confirm this exactly but I believe you can refuse them but then get them later like right before his whole quest arc comes to a close. Like you can have an option "hey before you run off can you teach me the three"... But I haven't done that myself. I just want them as soon as possible because they're fun.

There is one choice at the end of Sebastian's story (which will be near the end of the main story, too) that will either keep them available to learn for the rest of that save slot or make them no longer available to acquire in that save slot. It should be obvious which choice locks them out since Sebastian's the only one who can teach the Student the Unforgivables.

Yeah, and he gives you several chances to say 'Yes'; the game doesn't just take them away from you, you're given ample opportunity. And I do remember that as a "one last time" Sebastian tells you it's not too late...

As for the level requirements, they're more like "guidelines" as you (I) can defeat opponents several levels above the MC's level fairly easily. The game is pretty forgiving in that regard as well, and I'm not that great a player. I'll see the game give a warning that "enemies above your level will be more difficult to defeat or impossible" and I have yet to have difficulty with enemies 5 levels above me. Above that, it just depends how much time you want to put into fighting them, mainly, as they're just a lot tougher than you and the damage scaling gets more & more in the enemies' favor the larger the gap.

the 3 main curses are part of sebastian side quest his quests overlap with the main quests. if u want to learn them do not send sebastian to azaakban you will loose the chance to learn them. and seb has closer he needed if u you decided to not send him to prison
