Queen's Domain puzzle solutions
Every puzzle that blocks progress or a reward, with the answer first.
Numbered gargoyles (Tower of Knowledge)
Light #3 and #7 only. They are on the first left-side balcony above the Manticore floor. Three plaques, one in the rubble, hint at the pair. A wrong gargoyle answers with a swarm of Book Bugs. The right pair opens the nearby sealed door.
Lost library books (Tower of Knowledge)
Six books go back on the Tower's shelf. Returning all of them earns I'm Not Paying the Late Fee and the Crushing Lance.
- The Ratty Bug Compendium: From the Cemetery Precipice monument, go round behind the building on its left, drop down and smash the crate to the right of the skeleton; the book is inside. It is a decoy for the Tower library shelves.
- The Great Work IV - Rubedo: Below the Isle of Neasied cemetery: drop off the left side of the tomb building to the cave mouth with an egg outside. Inside, at the foot of the stairs, the book is on the altar right of the central pillar with the stone block.
- The Rotting God: Obmuer Temple, dark area past the Sacred Cistern: at the far end of the first room a skeleton points up at a ledge. Climb onto it and open the hidden wall, drop down the hole and keep left; the book is on a stone by a group of Crawlers.
- The End of Epha: Tower of Knowledge: after the basement loop and the elevator back up (Occult Knives chest), return to the room with the trapdoor; the book lies on the table to the left of the stairs.
- The Old Ones Beyond: Tower of Knowledge, trapdoor room: climb the stairs and air-dash back to the ledge behind you, above the room's entrance, to open a hidden wall. Defeat the Bones of Archivist Inha inside; the skeleton drops the book.
- Dams and Weirs: Tower of Knowledge 5F balcony: at the Tower's Wing Altar, the book is on the bottom shelf of the bookcase beside the altar.
- Koko's Sapphic Adventure: Tower of Knowledge upper library: in the Librarian's Room where Knowledge Keeper Wourha stays, beside the Wing Altar on 5F, the book lies on the small round table.
- The History of Dragons: Given by Knowledge Keeper Wourha in the upper library of the Tower of Knowledge, beside the 5F Wing Altar, when you talk to her with roughly 25% of the Bestiary filled in.
- Wodaso's Embrace: Tower of Knowledge library: shelving the six lost books left to right (Rubedo, Dragons, Dams and Weirs, Upim's, Old Ones Beyond, Koko's) opens the storage room. The book is inside by the door, near the knight statue holding a lance.
- Bone Machines: Deimpo Mausoleum: in the room where the story hands you the Mask of Second Sight, open the chest in the corner across from the mask; the book is inside.
- How to Serve Humans: Deimpo Mausoleum: in Chef Gagi's kitchen (Silver Skull in a bowl on the shelf left of the stove), the book lies on a wooden barrel in the corner.
- The Green Goddess: From Chef Gagi's room in the Mausoleum, take the hall left of his door to the spiral staircase. Up one flight, a hidden door by blue torches opens into Verdant Hollow; dash to the statue and on to the stone by the Josami Warden.
- Monarch of the Void: Underground World, below the Tower of Knowledge: from the statue room on the Crimson Grotto route, go into the room beyond and hit its right-hand wall. Past the hidden wall, air-dash across to the platform by the window; the book is on a stone block.
- Upim's Fairy Tales: Underground World, below Obmuer Temple: from the entrance ramp, dash to the dark cave opposite the raiders' shipwreck. At the crossroads go right and drop down the giant tree hollow; a third of the way down, dash to the corner torch. A skeleton holds the book.

- On the sinking platform to the northeast; pull the skeletons away first.
Trident Keys (Obmuer Temple)
Sapphire: follow the water flow down from the first rooms. Emerald: the skeleton ledge in the upper-left passage. The sealed door that takes three keys is a later reward (the Engraved Halberd).
Petrified Garden statues
After Lost King Ojjama, place the five Trident pieces, then wake the coloured statues in this order: Beetle Purple, Slime Blue, Bat Green, Stag Black, Fishman Red. This earns Living Stone.
Gargoyle beacons (Isle of Neasied)
Three gargoyle mouths take a shot from the Azure Torch: up the broken stairway past the blue lantern, north of the elevator above the first monument, and next to Erma after Obmuer. All three lit open the Tower of Knowledge.
