I didnt go memorize the location, just happen I on my 2nd play through, so can provide some info when I saw any books lying around.

I think just edit your 1st post, make it more brief will do, like providing map name with area, building or cave name will do. Those specific areas will usually have names on map

I just said I can't edit it further, I don't know why but seems to be limited to how many times you can edit it.

There is a time limit on editing (2 days IIRC). You could start a new topic, with everything combined/edited, though, if you are so inclined.

Slight updates on dragon skill book.

One can be found in stone greenery in stone flying fortress. Defeating Xanlosch the necromancer and Stone himself will provide you 1 dragon skill book each from their loot bag.

>>Broken Valley, Citadel Dungeon, Hanging from a chain, Activate pedestals, then pick the book up.
<<

Can I get a real slow, real careful description of this one, please?

I've spent 30 minutes in that room, and just no clue where the book is.

I activate the pedestals...no chains seem to stand out. I trigger the button, and 4 chains drop down...each has an item (sword, shield, armor, mace)...but no book.

Squinting and squinting and SQUINTING my eyes doesn't reveal any books hiding in any of the cages hanging from chains, and I don't see any chains in the next room past this one.

Thanks for the slow-witted.

The book is located near where you entered. It's somewhat hidden in the nearby corner behind some debris.

After you drop the chains, dont pick any of the weapons. Instead go back the the earlier section of the room where you fight the ghost, then you will see a skill book available there.

You can refer to this topic if you still cant find it Skill Book at the Ceiling

Mephasm, great FAQ


- On Sentinal Island, take Turgoyn's quest: "Legend of the Ancient Mariner". After the Battle Tower, once you can take dragon form, fly to the shipwreck in the tree and get the book. It gives TWO skill points, but you'll fail the quest (but who cares about that guy).


For Stat points:

2. Broken Valley, Daylight Robbery, Mindread Jenae after the robbery for 1 extra stat point.

If you sided with Fillip instead of Jenae, mind-reading him after the robbery gives you an extra stat point, so it doesn't matter which side you chose, you can still get the point, so it should read like this:

2. Broken Valley, Daylight Robbery, Mindread Jenae/Fillip after the robbery for 1 extra stat point.
