Walkthrough
- 1Speak with Krile Outside Noumenon
First things first, you'll need to find Krile. She's waiting for you in Old Sharlayan, right outside the Main Hall Entrance. Her exact spot is at coordinates X: 5.2 Y: 11.4. Just chat with her to get started. - 2Read books in Noumenon on the relevant subjects
Now, you're off to the giant library, Noumenon. Your task here is to find and read three specific books. The game makes it a bit tricky – you'll have to sift through quite a few to find the right ones. Just explore the library and interact with books until you find the three you need. - 3Wait at the designated location
Once you're done with the books, head outside the library. Go to the pavilion located at X: 5.7 Y: 11.5. Once you're there, just click on the destination marker to trigger a cutscene. - 4Wait at the designated location again
After the cutscene finishes, you'll need to interact with the destination marker again. It's another simple 'click to proceed' step. - 5Wait at the designated location once more
You guessed it – another cutscene will play. After it's done, click on the destination marker one last time. - 6Speak with Krile
Finally, after all those cutscenes and destination clicks, you'll need to speak with Krile again. She's usually nearby, and interacting with her will complete the quest.
