How to Complete the Book Puzzle with Leysha

Stuck on the Book Puzzle with Leysha in Vampire: The Masquerade — Swansong? Follow our guide to find the clue and solve the riddle to progress.

Alright, so you're playing as Leysha and you've hit a bit of a snag with a book puzzle. Don't worry, it's a pretty straightforward one once you know where to look. We'll get you through it!

Where to Find the Book Puzzle:

First things first, you need to get down to the basement to find Richard Dunham. To do that, you'll need the Staff Keycard. It's chilling in the main bar, just sitting on a side table before you head out back. Grab it!

With the keycard in hand, make your way to the back and look for the door marked _“Staff Only”_. Head through there, and you'll find a lift that'll take you down to the basement. Once you're in the basement, you've got two paths. Ignore the left one leading to TrajaX storage – it's a dead end for our purposes. Instead, take the white corridor to your right. You'll find two rooms down here. The first one is where you'll snag a crucial clue, and the second, at the very end, is where the bookshelf puzzle is waiting.

How to Solve the Book Puzzle:

You'll find yourself in what looks like an office and a library. The bookshelf puzzle is in the library, with a row of books that have different volume numbers. The trick to this puzzle is knowing the correct order to pull them.

The answer isn't in the library itself, but in the office you passed just before it down that same white corridor. Inside the office, check Richard's computer. You're looking for a file titled _“Observations on The Interpretation of Dreams”_. This file contains the clue you need for the order of the books. It'll tell you the sequence in which Richard prefers to read the volumes.

Once you've got that clue, head back to the library and pull the books in this specific order:

1. Volume V
2. Volume III
3. Volume IV

Pulling them in that sequence should make the bookshelves slide aside, revealing the path forward and leading you straight to the next puzzle: the Music Box.
