In the Shadow of Time is Sebastian Sallow's fourth relationship quest in Hogwarts Legacy. It is initiated upon receiving an Owl Post from Sebastian.
Objectives[]
I received an owl from Sebastian telling me he has a lead on the relic that could help Anne."
- Meet Sebastian at the catacomb
"We need to explore the catacomb to find the relic that Slytherin's student wrote about."
- Enter the catacomb
"Now that we're inside, we should search for the relic."
- Find the relic
"I found a note written by the student who first wrote about the relic. Whoever they were used bones to somehow barricade the way forward. I should tell Sebastian about this."
- Speak with Sebastian about the note
"The student mentioned that bones would be the key to getting past this barricade. In an ancient catacomb like this, I'm sure I can find plenty of bones to use."
- Find a way through the barricade
"I cleared away the barricade using the bones, just like I thought. Now to keep searching for the relic."
- Find the relic
"There are runes on the door and walls at this barricade. I wonder if I get past this one the same way I did before."
- Find a way through the barricade
"We still haven't found the relic, but it must be close now. We need to keep searching."
- Find the relic
"The room is crawling with spiders! We need to defeat them, unless we want our bones added to the collection here."
- Defeat the spiders
"Now that we've got past the spiders, we're closer than ever to finding the relic."
- Find the relic
"As long last, we found the relic! But we found another note alongside it, and the writings are ominous. I need to speak with Sebastian about this."
- Speak with Sebastian about the relic
"Sebastian decided to take the relic with him. Now we need to get to Feldcroft and show Anne what we've found. But first, we need to get out of the catacomb."
- Leave the catacomb
"It turns out Ominis followed us into the catacombs and has been tracking us this whole time. He overheard everything we said about him. Tensions are running high; I need to wait for Sebastian and Ominis to get this sorted out between them."
- Wait for Sebastian and Ominis to finish talking
"Ominis says that there's no way he can let us leave here with the relic. I have to find some way to persuade him."
- Persuade Ominis
"Now that we've parted ways with Ominis, we need to get out of here."
- Leave the catacombs
"It's time to return to Feldcroft to check on Anne."
- Return to Feldcroft
"As we approached Feldcroft, Sebastian and I saw smoke bollowing from the hamlet. We hurried there to find it was under attack by Ranrok's Loyalists. We need to help defend the hamlet!"
- Defend Feldcroft from Rankrok's Loyalists
"We managed to thwart the Loyalist attack and save Feldcroft. But in the process, Sebastian used the Imperius Curse on a goblin. His uncle was furious and banished Sebastian from ever returning to Feldcroft. I should talk to Solomon and see if I can smooth things over."
- Talk to Solomon Sallow
Conclusion[]
"Sebastian and I explored the catacomb near Feldcroft and found the relic that could possibly heal Anne. Eventually, we realised Ominis had followed us, refusing to let us leave with the relic. I persuaded Ominis to step aside. Sebastian and I then returned to Feldcroft to find it under attack – Ranrok's Loyalists were laying siege, so we helped defend the hamlet. During the attack, Sebastian used Imperio on a goblin. His uncle was horrified by this and banished Sebastian from returning or seeing Anne again."

Notes[]
- During this quest, Sebastian offers to teach you Imperio, an Unforgivable Curse. If you decline his offer, it can be learned later by talking to Sebastian in the Undercroft.
- To get past the barricaded doors, Wingardium Leviosa must be used to move several sets of bones into position around the doorway.
- In one passage, the bones are in compartments covered by Devil's Snare. Lumos and Accio must be used to get at the bones, and Wingardium Leviosa used to make a bridge of the bones.
- In the final room, the relic is found by picking up the Lost Relic Illustration which reveals what it looks like.
