To meet with Ominis, you need to travel to catacombs not far from Feldcroft.
Rewards for completing the quest
- 180 XP
- Avada Kedavra spell
Defeat the Inferi
Enter the catacomb area and defeat all enemies. Note that you need to lead with a fire spell to be able to deal damage to them. Feel free to use barrels and other throwables during the battle, as they are in ambundance in the area.
Find Sebastian
After clearing the main chamber from enemies, continue through the door with skulls.
Defeat incoming enemy waves and continue forward until you reach a room with bone stairs.
Look for graves on the right and left side of the room and open them with Accio to release bones. Pick the bones with Accio and place them on the sarcophagus before the stairs. Go up the stairs and talk to Sebastian.
Defend yourself against Solomon
In the final chamber you'll need to face Solomon. The room is full of Inferi - watch out for their attacks but prioritize Solomon. A good choice would be to use Imperio on aides so they help with the main opponent.
Juggle spells to break through Solomon's shield or use throwables on him.
Learning Avada Kedavra Curse
After emerging from the catacombs, Sebastian will offer to teach you the final Unforgivable Curse. This is the only chance in the game to learn Avada Kedavra.
If you want to have that spell, you must choose the second answer during the conversation, and then additionally confirm your willingness to learn it.
