You’ll uncover all the book locations and discover how to obtain the Pandora Blade in Queen’s Domain. It’s easy to miss hidden treasures like The Great Works IV – Rubedo and Upim’s Fairy Tales, as well as how to unlock the secret room that contains the powerful blade. Exploring fully will definitely pay off — trust me, I missed a few on my first run!
While hunting for books, watch out for tougher enemies and tricky areas that will test your skills and items. Some enemies can drop essential gear or even lead you to other secrets in the game. Make sure you’re stocked on health items, and if you have an adequate amount of crystals, you can retry jumps if needed; I know it saved me more than once.
Before you dive in, ensure you have the Rusted Short Sword and plenty of air dashes ready. These will help you reach harder areas where some of the books are hidden, especially around the dark spots in the second island.
Queen’s Domain – Captain Aganmi’s Missing Crew & Skeleton Friends
Detail All Books Locations in Queen’s Domain
Detail The Great Works IV – Rubedo
The cave’s below the Cemetery on the starting Island, easily recognizable thanks to the egg outside the entrance.
Entering the cave, go down the stairs and look for the book to the right on an altar. You can reach it easily using air dashes from the stairs or the top of the pedestal where the throwable item sits.
Detail Upim’s Fairy Tales
Begin on the second island filled with water. Use three air dashes from the right side to access the left side, where the second book is located. Expect dark areas with tough enemies as you progress.
After entering the room, drop down the hole and use your air dash immediately to reach the ledges at the top. Falling too far means using a Crystal or Stone Fragment to retry.
On the ledge, explore until you find a food item and a skeleton; the book lies next to them.
Detail The Remaining Books Inside the Library
Within this room, you’re looking for two books: Koko’s Sapphic Adventure and The History of Dragons. You’ll receive The History of Dragons from Woura after cataloging enough enemies.
Detail Dams and Weirs
Next to the teleporter, look for the book on the bottom shelf of a bookcase.
Detail The Old Ones Beyond
Behind a secret wall above the entrance in this room, you’ll find the book held by a skeleton. Defeat the skeleton to collect the book.
