ABOUT THE QUEST
The Secret Library Quest is one of Tibia's most important high-level quest lines, introduced in the Summer Update of 2017. It unlocks access to six of the game's best hunting areas and culminates in a gauntlet of five powerful bosses deep within the Secret Library itself.
The quest begins with NPC Dedoras, located southeast of Cormaya. He tasks you with finding six ancient documents scattered across the world. Each document is protected by a unique puzzle sequence, and solving them grants access to a major hunting area as a side reward. Once all six documents are recovered, the path to the Secret Library opens.
Inside the library, you will face creatures unlike anything else in Tibia — Burning Books, Cursed Books, Ink Blobs, Brain Squids, Knowledge Elementals, and more. The five library bosses ( Lokathmor, Gorzindel, Ghulosh, Mazzinor, and The Scourge of Oblivion) are among the toughest encounters in the game.

SECRET LIBRARY BOSSES
The Secret Library contains five bosses, each guarding a section of the library. All bosses require well-coordinated teams of level 500+ players with voice chat coordination.
BOSS 1: LOKATHMOR
Fight Lokathmor
Secret Library — Ice Section- -- Primary damage type: Ice
- -- Area attacks: Ice storms covering large areas
- -- Summons: Icecold Books that deal additional ice damage
- -- Strategy: Stack ice protection. Knights block with Ice damage reduction equipment. Druids maintain constant Exura Sio on blockers. Spread out to minimize area damage overlap.
DANGER
BOSS 2: GORZINDEL
Fight Gorzindel
Secret Library — Fire Section- -- Primary damage type: Fire
- -- Area attacks: Fire waves and fire bombs covering the arena
- -- Summons: Burning Books that add persistent fire damage
- -- Strategy: Fire protection is essential. Knights use fire-resistant shields and armor. Clear Burning Book summons quickly to reduce incoming damage. Keep healing rotation tight — fire damage is sustained and relentless.
DANGER
BOSS 3: GHULOSH
Fight Ghulosh
Secret Library — Death Section- -- Primary damage type: Death + Life Drain
- -- Area attacks: Death waves and mass life drain
- -- Summons: Cursed Books with death-based attacks
- -- Strategy: Death protection is paramount. Ghulosh's life drain makes sustained healing extremely important. Druids must be aggressive with healing spells. Kill Cursed Book summons immediately as they compound the drain effect.
DANGER
BOSS 4: MAZZINOR
Fight Mazzinor
Secret Library — Energy Section- -- Primary damage type: Energy
- -- Area attacks: Chain lightning and energy beams
- -- Summons: Energetic Books that amplify energy damage
- -- Strategy: Energy protection is mandatory. Mazzinor's chain lightning can bounce between grouped players — maintain distance from each other. Kill Energetic Book summons fast as they increase the chain lightning damage significantly.
DANGER
💡 TIP
FINAL BOSS: THE SCOURGE OF OBLIVION
HARDEST BOSS IN THE QUEST
Fight The Scourge of Oblivion
Secret Library — Central Chamber- -- Damage types: All (Fire, Ice, Energy, Death, Physical)
- -- Area attacks: Multi-element area attacks covering the entire arena
- -- Summons: All types of library creatures
- -- Phases: Damage output increases as HP decreases
- -- Mechanics: Switches between elemental phases, requiring the team to adapt protection on the fly
Scourge of Oblivion Strategy
Secret Library- -- 2-3 high-level Knights as blockers (one main tank, others for add management)
- -- 3-4 Druids for healing rotation (Exura Sio on blockers, Exura Gran Mas Res for team)
- -- 2-3 Sorcerers for sustained damage output
- -- 1-2 Paladins for ranged damage and off-healing support

PRO TIPS
- 1. Complete all prerequisites first. You need Liquid Black Quest (first mission), The New Frontier Quest, and Asura Palace Quest done before you can progress through all 6 documents. Handle these well in advance.
- 2. Prepare all quest items before starting. Bucket with Blood and Water, 3 different foods, and a red non-metallic armor. Forgetting any of these means a wasted trip to dangerous areas.
- 3. Do puzzle documents in parallel. You can work on all 6 documents simultaneously. If one area is too crowded or you need a team for a specific puzzle, switch to another document in the meantime.
- 4. The Deep Desert Furious Scorpion is SOLO. This is the only mandatory solo boss fight in the quest. Practice your vocation's solo boss-killing rotation beforehand. Knights should bring physical protection and earth resistance.
- 5. Falcon Bastion access is the most valuable side reward. Even if you are not yet ready for the library bosses, getting Falcon Bastion access alone makes the quest worth doing. The Falcon equipment drops are extremely valuable.
- 6. Library bosses need voice chat. Text chat is too slow for phase transitions and emergency coordination. Set up Discord or Teamspeak before attempting any library boss.
- 7. Bring elemental protection sets for library bosses. Each boss uses a different element. For The Scourge of Oblivion, bring ALL elemental protection sets since it cycles through phases.
- 8. Use the night cycle for High and Dry. The telescope on the shipwreck island only works at night. If you arrive during the day, use the waiting time to organize supplies or work on other documents.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What level do I need for the Secret Library Quest?
Level 250 is the minimum requirement to start the quest. However, level 500+ is strongly recommended for the library bosses (Lokathmor, Gorzindel, Ghulosh, Mazzinor, and The Scourge of Oblivion). The access areas like Falcon Bastion, Deep Desert, and Deathling caves contain extremely dangerous creatures that will overwhelm lower-level players.
What are the prerequisites for the Secret Library Quest?
You need several things before starting: completed first mission of the Liquid Black Quest, completed The New Frontier Quest (for the Zao shortcut), completed the Asura Palace Quest, a Bucket and liquid containers with Blood and Water, 3+ different types of Food, and a red non-metallic armor (such as a Red Robe or Zaoan Robe). Premium account is required.
How do I access Falcon Bastion?
Falcon Bastion access is unlocked as part of one of the 6 puzzle documents in The Secret Library Quest. You must speak to Dedoras on Cormaya to begin the quest, then complete the Falcon Bastion puzzle segment. Once completed, you gain permanent access to the bastion and its hunting grounds filled with Order of the Falcon members.
Can I do the Secret Library Quest solo?
The 6 puzzle documents (access quests) can mostly be completed solo or with a small group, though some areas like the Deep Desert Path of Defiances and the combat corridors are quite dangerous solo. The library bosses absolutely require a well-coordinated team of high-level players (500+). The Scourge of Oblivion is the hardest boss and demands a large, organized team.
What rewards does the Secret Library Quest give?
The quest grants access to six major hunting areas: Falcon Bastion, Deep Desert (Elite Skeletons), Ancient Ancestorial Grounds (Deathlings), The Extension Site, underground Asura Palace, and the Secret Library itself. You also receive the Bone Fiddle item, basic Battle Mage Outfits, and two achievements: Battle Mage and Library Liberator.
How do I beat The Scourge of Oblivion?
The Scourge of Oblivion is the final boss of The Secret Library and the hardest fight. It uses powerful area attacks across multiple damage types and summons dangerous minions. You need a large, well-coordinated team with multiple blockers and healers. Knights must maintain aggro while druids focus on Exura Sio healing. The boss has phases with increasing damage output, so sustained healing and mana management are critical. Voice chat coordination is essential.
