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.

REQUIREMENTS

  • -- Level 250+ (minimum required to start)
  • -- Level 500+ recommended for library bosses
  • -- Premium account required
  • -- Liquid Black Quest first mission completed
  • -- The New Frontier Quest completed (Zao shortcut access)
  • -- Asura Palace Quest completed
  • -- Bucket and liquid containers with Blood and Water
  • -- 3+ different types of Food (e.g., Meat, Ham, Cheese)
  • -- Red non-metallic armor (Red Robe, Zaoan Robe, or similar)
  • -- Shovel, Rope, Machete

SUPPLY LIST

Quest Items

  • -- Bucket (for blood/water puzzles)
  • -- Vial of Blood + Vial of Water
  • -- 3+ different Food types (Meat, Ham, Cheese, etc.)
  • -- Red non-metallic armor (Red Robe, Zaoan Robe)

General Supplies

  • -- Shovel, Rope, Machete
  • -- Strong healing and mana potions
  • -- Fire, energy, and death protection equipment
  • -- Travel money for boats and carpets

💡 TIP

Gather ALL quest items before starting. The red non-metallic armor is easy to forget — a Red Robe or Zaoan Robe works. The 3 different foods must be distinct types (e.g., Meat + Ham + Cheese), not 3 of the same food. Prepare liquid containers with Blood and Water ahead of time using a Bucket.

STEP-BY-STEP WALKTHROUGH — ALL 6 PUZZLES

STARTING THE QUEST: DEDORAS

1

Speak to Dedoras

Cormaya (southeast)
Travel to Cormaya and find NPC Dedoras in the southeast area of the island. He will explain the lore of the Secret Library and task you with recovering six ancient documents that are scattered across the world. Each document is protected by puzzles and dangerous creatures.
Dedoras— say "mission"
Speak to Dedoras about the mission. He will describe the six locations where the ancient documents are hidden and explain that the Secret Library can only be accessed once all six are recovered. The documents are in: a shipwreck island, the Deep Desert, Falcon Bastion, Asura Palace underground, Ancient Ancestorial Grounds, and The Extension Site.

💡 TIP

The six puzzle documents can be completed in any order. We recommend starting with “High and Dry” (the shipwreck puzzle) as it is the simplest, then working through the others based on your level and available team. Save the Deep Desert “Path of Defiances” for when you are well-prepared, as it contains a solo boss fight.

DOCUMENT 1: HIGH AND DRY (SHIPWRECK ISLAND)

2

Travel to the Shipwreck Island

Cormaya Coast
From Cormaya, head to the coast and locate the small shipwreck island. You will need to solve a puzzle involving the wreckage to recover the Sealed Scroll — the first of the six documents.
3

Recover the Sealed Scroll

Shipwreck Island
Search the shipwreck to find the Sealed Scroll. You will need to interact with several objects on the island to unlock access to the scroll's hiding place.
4

Repair the Raft

Shipwreck Island
Find materials around the island to repair a broken raft. The raft is needed to reach a secondary area of the island that cannot be accessed on foot.
5

Use the Telescope at Night

Shipwreck Island
After repairing the raft, use the telescope on the island. This MUST be done at night (in-game night cycle). The telescope reveals the location of the document and completes the High and Dry puzzle.

💡 TIP

Night cycle timing:Tibia's in-game night begins at approximately 8:00 PM server time and lasts until around 6:00 AM. You must use the telescope during this window. If the telescope does not work, wait for nightfall and try again.

DOCUMENT 2: THE PATH OF DEFIANCES (DEEP DESERT)

DANGER

The Deep Desert access area contains Skeleton Elite Warriors, Undead Elite Gladiators, Retching Horrors, and Hellhounds. Come heavily supplied with healing potions and death/physical protection. This is one of the hardest access puzzles in the quest.
6

Enter the Deep Desert

Darashia — Deep Desert
Travel to the Deep Desert region south of Darashia. You will need to complete the Path of Defiances — a gauntlet of four consecutive puzzles that test different skills.
7

Puzzle 1: The Invisible Path

Deep Desert
The first challenge is an invisible path puzzle. You must navigate across a seemingly empty void by finding the hidden walkable tiles. Step carefully — falling means starting over. The path follows a specific pattern that does not change between attempts.

💡 TIP

Invisible path trick:Watch for subtle visual cues on the floor tiles. Some players use the “look” command on each tile to identify walkable squares. Move slowly and mark your progress mentally. If you fall, you will respawn at the entrance of the puzzle room.
8

Puzzle 2: Combat Corridor

Deep Desert
The second puzzle is a combat corridor where waves of dangerous creatures attack you as you advance. You must clear each wave to unlock the door to the next section. Bring strong area-of-effect runes and healing supplies.

DANGER

The combat corridor spawns Elite Skeletons, Undead Gladiators, and Retching Horrors in tight quarters. A knight blocker is extremely helpful here. Mages should use area attacks (Thunderstorm, Great Fireball) while staying behind the blocker.
9

Puzzle 3: Carpet Stepping Puzzle

Deep Desert
The third challenge requires you to step on carpets in the correct sequence. The correct order is hinted at by symbols in the room. Stepping on the wrong carpet resets the puzzle. Study the symbols carefully before attempting.
10

Puzzle 4: Bonelord Statue Food Puzzle

Deep Desert
The final puzzle involves Bonelord statues that must be fed with specific food items. You need at least 3 different types of food (e.g., Meat, Ham, Cheese). Place the correct food at each statue according to the hints provided in the room.
11

Perform the Ritual and Fight the Furious Scorpion

Deep Desert
After completing all four puzzles, you must perform a ritual at the central altar. This summons the Furious Scorpion — a solo boss fight. You must defeat the Furious Scorpion alone (no team assistance) to recover the second document and gain access to the Deep Desert hunting grounds.

SOLO BOSS FIGHT

The Furious Scorpion MUST be fought solo. No other players can assist you during this encounter. The boss deals significant physical and earth damage. Come prepared with earth protection, strong healing potions, and a plan for sustained single-target damage. Knights should use Exura Gran Ico liberally. Mages need to kite effectively.

💡 TIP

After completing the Path of Defiances, you gain permanent access to the Deep Desert hunting grounds. This area contains Skeleton Elite Warriors and is one of the best experience spots for level 300-500 characters.

DOCUMENT 3: FALCON BASTION

12

Travel to Falcon Bastion

Edron Region
Falcon Bastion is located in the Edron region. To access the bastion and recover the third document, you must solve the puzzle sequence within the fortress. The bastion is heavily guarded by Order of the Falcon members.

DANGER

Falcon Bastion is home to powerful Order of the Falcon creatures including Falcon Knights and Falcon Paladins. These creatures deal extremely high damage and have substantial HP pools. Do not attempt to clear rooms solo unless you are well above the minimum level requirement.
13

Solve the Falcon Bastion Puzzle

Falcon Bastion Interior
Navigate through the bastion's interior while solving the puzzle mechanics specific to this area. The puzzle involves interacting with specific objects within the fortress in the correct order. Successfully completing the puzzle grants you the third document and permanent access to Falcon Bastion as a hunting ground.

💡 TIP

Falcon Bastion becomes one of the premier hunting grounds for levels 400-600+ after you gain access. The Order of the Falcon creatures drop valuable loot including Falcon Plate and other Falcon equipment pieces. This makes completing this document particularly rewarding even beyond the quest progression.

DOCUMENT 4: ASURA PALACE UNDERGROUND

14

Enter the Underground Asura Palace

Asura Palace
With the Asura Palace Quest already completed (a prerequisite), you can access the underground section of the palace. Navigate through the underground tunnels to locate the fourth puzzle.

DANGER

The underground Asura Palace contains powerful Asuri creatures that deal heavy fire and energy damage. Bring appropriate elemental protection and expect large pulls of multiple creatures in tight corridors.
15

Solve the Asura Palace Puzzle

Asura Palace Underground
The puzzle in the underground Asura Palace involves navigating through a series of chambers and interacting with magical objects in the correct sequence. Complete the puzzle to recover the fourth document and unlock permanent access to the underground Asura Palace hunting grounds.

💡 TIP

The underground Asura Palace hunting ground is excellent for mages due to the density of Asuri creatures and their elemental weaknesses. After gaining access, consider adding this to your regular hunting rotation.

DOCUMENT 5: ANCIENT ANCESTORIAL GROUNDS (DEATHLINGS)

16

Travel to the Ancient Ancestorial Grounds

Ancient Ancestorial Grounds
The fifth document is hidden within the Ancient Ancestorial Grounds — the home of the dreaded Deathlings. You must navigate through the grounds while fighting powerful undead creatures to reach the puzzle location.

DANGER

The Ancient Ancestorial Grounds are filled with Deathling Scouts and Deathling Spellsingers. These creatures deal devastating death and energy damage and have very high HP. Death protection is essential. A team is strongly recommended for clearing the path to the puzzle.
17

Complete the Deathling Puzzle

Ancient Ancestorial Grounds
Solve the puzzle within the Ancient Ancestorial Grounds to recover the fifth document. The puzzle involves using the red non-metallic armor and the liquid containers (Blood and Water) that you prepared beforehand. Follow the environmental clues to determine the correct sequence.

💡 TIP

Do not forget your red non-metallic armor. This is required for the Deathling puzzle. A Red Robe or Zaoan Robe both work. If you arrive without one, you will have to travel back to town and return — a significant time waste given the dangerous terrain.

DOCUMENT 6: THE EXTENSION SITE

18

Travel to The Extension Site

The Extension Site
The sixth and final document is located at The Extension Site. Travel to this area and prepare for the final access puzzle before the Secret Library opens.

DANGER

The Extension Site contains Floating Savants, Furies, and Demons. This area hits hard with mixed damage types. Bring balanced elemental protection and strong supplies.
19

Solve the Final Puzzle

The Extension Site
Complete the puzzle at The Extension Site to recover the sixth and final document. With all six documents in hand, you can now return to Dedoras to unlock access to the Secret Library itself.

ENTERING THE SECRET LIBRARY

20

Return to Dedoras with All 6 Documents

Cormaya
Once you have recovered all six documents, return to Dedoras on Cormaya. He will verify your documents and open the path to the Secret Library. This grants you the Battle Mage outfit and the Battle Mage achievement.
Dedoras— say "documents"
After presenting all six recovered documents to Dedoras, he unlocks the entrance to the Secret Library. You receive the basic Battle Mage Outfit and can now enter the library to face its guardians and bosses.

EXTREME DANGER INSIDE

The Secret Library is one of the most dangerous areas in all of Tibia. Inside you will face Icecold Books, Burning Books, Energetic Books, Cursed Books, Biting Books, Squid Wardens, Rage Squids, Ink Blobs, Guardians of Tales, Animated Feathers, Brain Squids, and Knowledge Elementals. Every section of the library is lethal. Do NOT enter alone at minimum level.

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

21

Fight Lokathmor

Secret Library — Ice Section
Lokathmor is the ice-themed boss of the Secret Library. He resides in the frozen section of the library and uses powerful ice-based attacks including area ice storms and targeted ice beams.
  • -- 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

Lokathmor's ice storms can hit your entire team if grouped too tightly. Spread out while maintaining healing range. Ice protection equipment is mandatory for every team member.

BOSS 2: GORZINDEL

22

Fight Gorzindel

Secret Library — Fire Section
Gorzindel is the fire-themed boss located in the burning section of the library. He unleashes devastating fire-based attacks and has extremely high HP.
  • -- 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

Gorzindel's fire bombs create persistent damage zones on the ground. Do not stand in them. Move constantly while maintaining your formation. Fire protection equipment and Fire Resistance imbuements are critical for survival.

BOSS 3: GHULOSH

23

Fight Ghulosh

Secret Library — Death Section
Ghulosh is the death-themed boss guarding the cursed section of the library. He uses powerful death and life drain attacks that can rapidly deplete your HP.
  • -- 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

Ghulosh's life drain is the most dangerous mechanic in this fight. If healing falls behind even briefly, tank deaths are likely. Assign multiple dedicated healers to each blocker and keep emergency healing supplies ready.

BOSS 4: MAZZINOR

24

Fight Mazzinor

Secret Library — Energy Section
Mazzinor is the energy-themed boss found in the electrified section of the library. He uses lightning-based attacks with extremely high burst damage potential.
  • -- 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

Mazzinor's chain lightning BOUNCES between nearby players. If your team is grouped up, a single chain lightning can hit everyone for massive damage. Maintain at least 3 squares of distance between each player at all times during this fight.

💡 TIP

Energy protection loadout: Use Energy Ring, equipment with energy resistance imbuements, and consider Might Rings for the burst damage phases. Paladins with Energy Wall runes can help control the arena geometry.

FINAL BOSS: THE SCOURGE OF OBLIVION

HARDEST BOSS IN THE QUEST

The Scourge of Oblivion is the final and most difficult boss of The Secret Library. This fight demands a large, well-organized team of 500+ players with extensive boss experience. Deaths are likely even with optimal preparation. Voice chat is MANDATORY.
25

Fight The Scourge of Oblivion

Secret Library — Central Chamber
The Scourge of Oblivion is the ultimate guardian of the Secret Library. It combines all damage types and uses devastating multi-phase mechanics.
  • -- 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
26

Scourge of Oblivion Strategy

Secret Library
Team Composition:
  • -- 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
Phase Management: The Scourge cycles through elemental phases. Watch for visual cues indicating which element it is currently using. The team must call out phase changes so everyone can adjust their protection equipment and positioning accordingly.

💡 TIP

Survival tips for The Scourge:Bring a full set of elemental protection equipment that you can swap mid-fight. Assign one team member as the “phase caller” who announces elemental transitions. Keep emergency mana potions — druids will burn through mana extremely fast during high-damage phases. If the main tank dies, a backup knight MUST immediately pick up aggro.

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.
