How To Learn & Unlock Descendo
Descendo is going to be one of the last spells that you can learn through completing assignments in Hogwarts Legacy. The Assignment for Descondo is going to be assigned to you by your Divination instructor, Professor Onai. These assignments are designed to catch you up to speed as you are joining Hogwarts as a fifth year. That means you need to put in extra effort to reach the same level of experience and skill as the other students.
Since it is a late-game spell, the assignment is not going to be easy. However, you should be skilled enough to handle such challenging missions after honing your skills while playing the game. The task will have you carry out combos and even fight terrifying trolls. Although that shouldn’t be a problem for a master wizard or witch such as yourself.
Onai’s Assignment
Hogwarts legacy has an enormous map and one mission that allow you to explore it is going to be “Professor Onai’s Assignment”. The assignment has two objectives for unlocking Descendo in Hogwarts Legacy. Both of which will require you to perform at your best on the battlefield. You will need your wits and your brain to excel in this mission and defeat both big and small enemies. So take out your ward and get ready for a fight.
Once you have completed Percival Rackham’s Trial mission the assignment will appear to you via mail in the game. You can open up your book and view the requirements for the Assignment. The Quest has two tasks for you to perform. The first task will be to take down a troll and collect a troll bogey. This is a great contrast from the start of the game where the police chief was shocked that we could defeat a Troll alongside a friend.
The second task will be to blast an enemy with Depulso while they are in the air. This task will require you to use some combos with other spells to achieve since enemies won’t start Levitating on their own. However, it is a great practice to make combos, which will come in handy when you unlock Descendo in Hogwarts Legacy.
Medium Bandit Camp
You will need to head out and wander far away from the school to unlock Descendo in Hogwarts Legacy. The book will not be guiding you to this location but you can still open your map and place a marker and follow that. Head over to the World Map and scroll towards the south end. Here you will be able to see the South Sea Bog and the Coastal Cavern. When you zoom in right at the bottom will be the Medium bandit camp.
At the campsite, you can find trolls and goblins that you can defeat to complete Professor Onai’s Assignment. You can do the assignment in any order. However, taking out the troll first will make it easier to deal with the Goblins without fear of getting pounded into the ground. Trolls are quite strong so it will make a bit of skill to defeat them.
A few things you should keep in mind while facing a troll is that it is significantly stronger than most enemies. Control and Froce spells have little to no effect on them so you will need to use as many damage spells as you can. You can not block their attacks so keep dodging them so you don’t get hit. Use your surrounding to your advantage and throw whatever object you can find at them.
The second part is going to be quite simple since you can just perform the combo and run away. It doesn’t matter if you win or lose the fight if you can complete the task. You can use Leviosa on an enemy to make them float them. Once they are airborne blast them away with Depulso to complete the second task. Leviosa and Depulso do not work on trolls.
Head To Professor Onai’s Class
Once the assignment has been completed you can head to the Divination Classroom. You can find this class at the end of a very tall ladder in the Library Annex. You have to visit the class in the daytime. If you reach there at night, you can just step in the circle and wait and it will change to daytime after a loading screen. Once the class is over you can approach professor Onai and inform her of your accomplishment.
Upon learning this Professor Onai will teach you how to unlock Descendo in Hogwarts Legacy. Simply draw the shape using your mouse. There will be icons throughout your path, these respond to buttons on your keyboard or control. Press the corresponding button at the right moment and receive a speed boost. The speed boost will help you avoid the fuse behind you. If it touches the cursor you will fail the task.
Once you have completed the task you will unlock Descendo and also earn 150 XP. You are advised to practice on the dummy by the professor. You can add the spell to your arsenal and test it out of the practice dummy present in the room. It is a bit of an intense spell so you might be surprised to see the results at first.
Prerequisites For Professor Onai’s Assignment
There are two prerequisites for you to complete the task you are eligible for Professor Onai’ Assignment.

The trails will have you solve complicated puzzles to build bridges in a location filled with ancient magic. You will have to fight many powerful enemies and hold your own against Sentinels and mighty Protectors. It’s not going to be an easy mission but you can get through it with a bit of practice.
After completing all of the previous missions and fighting numerous enemies you should be level 15 already. There are three main ways to get XP to level up. Firstly you can defeat enemies in missions and combat to gain quite a significant amount of XP. Secondly, completing quests also earn you XP so focus on both the main and side quest to level up fast.
