In the previous chapter ofThe Stone of Madness, you learned from Brother Guillermo that the Inquisitor was conducting experiments on people—operating on their brains in search of the Stone of Madness. Disgusted by these vile experiments, the party decided to put a stop to them.
This led you to the monastery’s Wine Cellar, where the party destroyed the tables used for these experiments one by one to hinder the Inquisitor’s plans. However, before you could celebrate your success, Sister Elvira brought terrible news: the Abbot has been poisoned. In this chapter, let’s see if you can put an end to all this corruption.
How To Reach The Library
The first objective of the third chapter is to enter the Library. To reach the Library, your first step is to head to the Cloister area. In thenortheastern part of the Cloister, there is a room with a green door that you need to enter. This room is located to the right of the one where Brother Guillermo looked into the mirror in the first chapter.
To avoid being caught by the monks in this room, use Alfredo and have him wear the priest robes. Then, use the other door in the room to access the Library. When you first enter the Library, you will see a doctor dressed in green. Normally, the Library is a restricted area, butas long as you stay near the doctor, the ‘Protection of the Doctor’ effect will make it a safe zone.
Therefore, you must remain close to the doctor while completing the objective. If Alfredo is wearing the priest robes, you won’t need the doctor’s protection and can move around freely inside.
How To Find The First Large Volume
Your first-floor objective is to break the mirror. To do this, you can use Leonora. Wait for the doctor to come down to the first floor, thenquickly break the mirror and hide Leonora.Use Alfredo to take the key hidden behind the broken mirror. This key will allow you to open the chapel area on the west side of the Library, near the stairs to the second floor.
You will also find a cellar door in this area, which will make accessing this location easier in the coming days. Next,deal with the guard patrolling near the second-floor stairs.Use Leonora to knock him out or kill him, then drag his body to the small area with red curtains. Open the iron-barred door next to the stairs. Afterward, knock out or kill the guard behind the iron bars.
Climb down the ladder and, without being spotted by the soldier, interact with the switch. This will open two shortcuts to the soldier’s room: one from the cellar door area and another from the main Library hall. Finally,read the volume located in the soldier’s roomto progress the objective.
How To Find The Second Large Volume
To locate the second volume, you’ll need to exit the Library’s first floor. Look up near the armed guard outside tospot an area where you can throw a rope.Climb up using the rope, then use a lockpick or crowbar toopen the balcony door above.After that, use Alfredo to climb to the second floor via the rope.
Make sure Alfredo is wearing the priest robes to ensure you’re able to safely move around on the upper floor.
Alternatively, you can access the second floor from inside the Library by pushing a large wooden crate on the first floor with Eduardo. However, this method is slightly more dangerous.
Read the volumelocated at the southernmost part of the second floor.Additionally, use the switch on the second floor to create a shortcut bridge to the other side of the second floor. Once this is done, you won’t have any objectives left for now, apart from advancing to the next day. Your first objective for the next day is to gather various materials. These materials are as follows:
How To Find Two Gold Teeth
One of the Gold Teeth is located in the Nuns Garden, east of the Laundry area. Here, you’llspot a corpse at the top of the tower near the barnwhere you caught Brother Guillermo. However, Nuns Garden has become a challenging area because Mother Superior patrols it.
To avoid detection,enter the Nuns’ Garden from the Wine Cellar(Latrines). This way, you can climb to the upper level of the tower without being spotted by the nuns and find one of the Gold Teeth.
The second Gold Tooth is located in the area above the Wine Cellar,south of where the sitting guard is.You’ll notice that an iron gate has been added there, triggering a cutscene. Use Amelia to slip through the iron bars. Interact with the switch to open the gate.
Then, bring Eduardo to the area andpush the wooden crate toward the hanging cagewith the skeleton inside. If the inmates block your way and prevent you from moving the crate, use Leonora to knock them out with a plank and drag them away.
How To Find Two Mandrakes
To find the first Mandrake, head to the Cloister andgo down the right staircase in the southern area.There, you’ll see a statue of a woman with a vase on her head. Use Eduardo todrag the statue to the other side of the room.
It’s advisable to incapacitate or kill the nearby guard to make this task easier.
Once the statue is in place, use Leonora to throw a rope to the upper section nearby.Climb up and investigate the vaseon the statue’s head to find the first Mandrake.
The second Mandrake is located near the entrance of the Wine Cellar, where you’ll also encounter the Doctor. As you approach, a cutscene will reveal the Mandrake’s location. While near the Doctor, you’ll still be under his protection. Your first objective is to eliminate the two guards around him. Then,use Eduardo to move the large crate southward.
Once it’s in place,have Agnes climb onto the crate.Since the guards may interfere, it’s recommended to deal with them first. With Agnes on the crate,push it over the spikesand use a sickle to harvest the Mandrake. If you don’t have a sickle, Panecillo, located near the Nuns Garden, will give you one for free.
Additionally, to craft five Medicines,use Agnes’ Witches Cauldron skill at night.Once you’ve gathered all the materials, wait for nightfall to proceed.
How To Enter The Laboratory And Prepare The Medicine
The next day, start by speaking with the Doctor on the second floor of the Cloister. He’s locatedin the room near the red-carpeted area, but you’ll need to unlock the door using Eduardo or Leonora. Be cautious of the Inquisitor and the patrolling armed guard while doing this. When entering the room,ensure Alfredo is wearing his priest robes.
The Doctor will then ask you to find the laboratory keys, which can be found in the Cloister’s garden.Look in the weeds near the locked chestto locate the laboratory key. Next, head to the library, where you’ll find it overrun with chickens.Go up the stairs near the cellar doorand neutralize the guard.
Speak with Tia del Nido, who will tell you the laboratory’s locationin exchange for an egg. She will also reveal that the secret door to the laboratory can only be opened with the Inquisitor’s ring, which one of her chickens has swallowed.
To find the Inquisitor’s Ring,throw a rope with Leonora to the area above the cellar doorinside the library, then climb up with Amelia. Then, crawl through the gap, and reach the hole above Tia del Nido. Proceed slowly and use Amelia’s Pickpocketing skill tosteal the ring from the chicken.
Reaching the laboratory is straightforward.Head to the entrance of the Wine Cellar and proceed southto locate it. A cutscene will also reveal its location once you’re in the Wine Cellar. However, be wary of Mother Superior, who will be near the entrance. The best way to distract her is to use Amelia tothrow chocolate, giving you enough time to enter the laboratory.
Enter the laboratory with Alfredo or Agnes. Watch out for the guard inside, and make the medicine without getting caught.
How To Heal The Abbot
Your next task is to give the medicine to the Abbot. He is locatedin the red-carpeted area on the second floor of the Cloister.You can use Eduardo to place a plank as a shortcut to the red-carpeted area. Alternatively, bring Leonora to the room opposite the red carpet, where the inmates and the doctor were encountered earlier. Eliminate the guard there.
Wait for the Inquisitor to move awayfrom the red carpet and then unlock the iron-barred door leading to the red-carpeted area. Quicklyopen the Abbot’s room and use the medicine on him.This will make him feel slightly better, and he will explain the next step of the plan to stop the Inquisitor. With this, the chapter will conclude.
