He's not a direct descendant though, Voldemort's granfather is Marvolo Riddle, who is Ominis' older brother. Marvolo is probably also the dude that used Crucio on Ominis when Ominis was a child. So, I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Just so everyone knows. This dial challenge is different for everyone. The symbols are on the gate but everyone's will look different. Just a fair warning lol
So I guess Slytherin built TWO secret rooms in Hogwarts instead of one. Still a bit bummed that we can't visit the Chamber of Secrets. I mean, the lore states that other Gaunts entered the Chamber of Secrets between Slytherin's construction of it and Voldemort's use of it in 1945. The whole reason it's under a bathroom is because when the plumbing was installed into Hogwarts, a Gaunt ensured it was hidden during the installation process.
we would never have a reason to visit the chamber of secrets considering it’s use was to house the basilisk and it’s main purpose was to rid half bloods from the school and ominis doesn’t agree with the matter of blood purity so it wouldn’t make much sense. I would fucking LOVE to see it tho😫😫😫
@@IgnatiaWildsmith1227 Well, some people have a a lower threshold for pain than others, so I figured there's always the risk of the curse doing serious psychological damage even in small doses.
I am quite in awe with the fact that Salazar had built not one but entirely two hidden rooms inside the school. What irony that the one, who left it, left so many heirlooms and sealed chambers in it. 💚🐍
Regarding Noctua Gaunt getting trapped and dying due to not having anyone to cast it on, could she not simply cast it on herself? The Cruciatus Curse requires intent, as in you have to deliberately cause pain to the victim. Sebastian was able to cast it successfully, despite having no malicious intent toward the player character, indicating that the will to survive would be sufficient to power the spell. I therefore imagine that the instinct to survive could motivate one to endure however much pain is necessary, therefore Noctua should be able to cast the Cruciatus Curse on herself and therefore escape the trap.
It could have maybe worked because with sebastian it was a small crucio it kinda reminded me of the crucio harry uses on Bellatrix which means sebastian really didn't mean to hurt us but knew he had to in order to escape
The logic is good, but you missed one detail. The curse has to be sustained long enough to open the door, and that requires the caster to stay focused. The kind of pain you experience from Crucio would definitely break your concentration, putting an end to the spell if your casting it on yourself. She could have tried, but it wouldn't last long enough to work
@@johnsteadman9002 lol he's not exactly jealous it was kinda a small joke he pulled because Ominis and the mc were talking amongst themselves, although you can write it off as jealousy
Is Ominis somehow related to Marvolo Gaunt? Since he's Voldemort's grandfather and would have been old enough to go to Hogwarts in the 1890s same as Dumbledore and also maybe Ominis is blind because of the Gaunt's inbreeding.
The blindness definitely has something to do with inbreeding (after all, constant inbreeding tends to bring out highly recessive traits, particularly ones related to health problems; I imagine the blindness was purposely chosen not only because it is an easy way to show the constant inbreeding but also because it easily harkens back to Merope). He is definitely related Marvolo. Considering what the game offers, it is likely that Ominis is meant to be interpreted as a younger sibling of Marvolo (his elder siblings and parents are described as being a LOT like how Marvolo and Morfin are described in the books which is likely purposeful).
Kinda getting the feeling Marvolo is actually Voldy's father given the inbreeding and why his mother was so desperate to live a fantasy about the muggle neighbor boy than to admit her father and brother went to Azkaban for doing unspeakable things to her. Children with Wizard father's tend to have dad's name as a middle name hence Harry James Potter, Draco Lucius Malfoy, Tom Riddle wasn't the real dad just the fantasy that Tom Jr. Mother wished she lived.
I feel crucio had more impact in Goblet of Fire because you heard by atmospheric music exerting the pressure of the effect in the scene rather than saw what looks like Sith lightning. It felt unnerving hearing the effect whereas this looks indistinguishable from most spells.
Who Knew At 0:35, That Ominis Was Related To Isolt Sayre? The Co-Founder Of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, The American Equivalent To Hogwarts?
@@jackiegerlach Isolt Was Also A Gaunt, But She Wasn’t Exactly A Parselmouth, She Could Understand What Snakes Say But She Couldn’t Exactly Speak Parseltongue
No idea tbf Guess we'll see what I chose at the end. But it would be kinda weird to talk about things such as "I don't mind having power" and then suddenly not getting it. Could do a 2nd Hufflepuff playthrough where you talk like a noble but then go dark lol
I played through a girl named Sirena Love song, a Hufflepuff with a strong will and a kind heart. She loves her beasts, she never breaks a promise. Not afraid to die, and speaks truthfully. I kept true to her. In the end I find that I seem to be the only one who couldn't get to the scriptorium through the secret door instead I had to use the door by the tapestry of a woman with just Sallow, not his friend. So I was never able to get to see that passageway Aside from that I completed the game with 100 points to Hufflepuff.
I think Hufflepuffs might consider learning dark magic. If they thought it would save and protect a friend. I think a Hufflepuff would learn Crucio by letting Sebastian cast it on them. A Hufflepuff would gladly endure suffering to spare others from having to endure it.
I always wonder why our mc never told ominis about ancient magic powers the gaunts knows everything they have a long lineage so maybe he had even q minor idea about ancient magic stuffi really hoped that the devs will give us the option to tell him only Sebastian natty and fig knows about our mc ability and the keepers ofc
(NO SPOILERS!!) You will get another chance to learn Crucio after you complete Sebastian's questline... after the final quest you will need to make a Yes or No choice - pick NO! otherwise you will not get another chance.
Keep progressing through the Main story a bit. After meeting Sebastians' sister there should be some side missions for him that will appear in your quest menu.
I want to know what happened then ominus life what went wrong I'm thinking something takes the guy out because if he became the patriarch of the gaunt's I doubt Voldemort would have happened

It’s pretty ironic that the literal ancestor of Voldemort might be one of Hogwarts Legacy’s most moral characters. Poor Ominus…
you mean descendant of slytherin?

It’s more like a Chamber and a private workroom. Though did Salazar have to bring someone with him every time just to open the lock?
@@kngmaegorwteats Ominis would have been able to command it not to attack, though.
I'm captivated by this journey into Slytherin's secrets. The twists and turns are thrilling! Kudos to the author for weaving such a spellbinding tale.
Guy: Casts the Cruciatus curse on someone
Same Guy: "Are you alright?"
Well, considering that the Cruciatus Curse can drive you MAD if your will isn't strong enough, I don't blame him for being so worried.
@@MegaFafnir i thought only extensive use of it would make someone go insane

exactly all she had to do was cast it on herself!
I don’t think she knew how to use Crucio, did she? Even if she did I’m pretty sure she would’ve tried that in her desperation to survive.
And she had to have known the curse because of the gaunt family tradition
It could have maybe worked because with sebastian it was a small crucio it kinda reminded me of the crucio harry uses on Bellatrix which means sebastian really didn't mean to hurt us but knew he had to in order to escape

Drinking from the cup in his Scriptorium XD I did the same but how long has it stood there for.

On the PS5, there’s a screeching/screaming sound effect that plays on the controller when you use it

@@dragonhale2026 idk I doubt it tho
No, you don't miss out on anything if you cast it on him. That's what I did.
