Tips and Misc
Walkthrough
- Speak to the Lordsmarch Guard in the foyer then head inwards to further investigate the library
- In the far north west of the library, defeat the Headless Zombie Brute to find a way to destroy the urn (library): Once the Brute is dead, the barrier around the urn drops and the urn can be smashed by talking to it
- Head back to the foyer and Speak to the Lordsmarch Guard in the foyer again, then enter the Lower Offices and head upstairs
- Head to the south west office, then follow the passages to the west and north
