Here is a complete list of all bonus skill, stat, and dragon skill points in the game. Entries marked with (ONLY ONE CHANCE) are just that - you get one chance. These are usually mindreads, and require doing it right then and there, or else you'll miss it. Items marked (MISSABLE) can be missed if you do not make the correct choice at the correct time.

Skill points are about half and half for being Skill Books, or mindread. Only two Stats Books exist, the rest are mindreads or special sources. All dragon skill points except the three from mindreading Patriarch are from Dragon Skill Books.

All points before the Battle Tower are missed once you claim the tower as your own.
All points after the Battle Tower are missed once you...
enter the Hall of Echoes.

Credit for the original list (which this one was based off of) goes to Mephasm.

This one I'm a little confused. I have DKS xbox version. Never found a book on the floor (I could have missed it) but there is one in a chest in a room that opens when you press a hidden wall panel after freeing Martis. Sometimes this room is not accessible because of a cave-in (I don't know what activates the cave-in).

The room is accessible before the cave-in; you do not have to keep up to Martis.

In the original release of D2:ED I mindread Martis in the cell, but did not use that information to complete the quest early. In that case when you get near the underground portion of the prison you find that he has already been broken out of jail, and there is no cave-in triggered. In DKS I avoiding that mindread and broke Martis out myself, but didn't get a cave-in doing the quest that way, either.

I think that they're talking about the same thing, it might just be a mistake in the FAQ. That room is accessible after the cave in, by pressing a secret button behind a spider web. The book is in a chest, and you found it.

The room is only accessible if you freed Martis, as he unlocks the door. OR if you mind-read him for the password in jail and then entered the cave anyway, the door starts unlocked, and there is no cave-in that happens.

The cave-in is triggered by releasing Martis from his cell without mind-reading him.

There is one optional room earlier that has a trapped treasure chest that locks you in a small room with two skeletons, but there's no skill book there as far as I know. That one is blocked by the cave-in. For some reason, you can't re-enter the tunnel from the chapel after the cave-in.

The Skill book is somewhere towards the left or right side of this dungeon (towards the wall on a higher place if i'm correct) .
I only find this info in a earlier post above :
4: Broken Valley, Citadel Dungeon, one of the five items on chains to choose from (this is in the back of the room). (MISSABLE)

I believe at the left back side if you face the hanging weapons. Not totally sure, sorry ! But warning: don't take any of the weapons, otherwise NO skillbook ! wink

Good Luck up

Yes, you can re-enter the passage from near Broken Valley, but not from the chapel side, which might keep you from getting some things in that section if the cave-in was triggered.

In the citadel dungeon, after lowering the four weapons, face away from the door leading out and walk until the room opens up to the left. In the corner is a skill book on a chain.
