How do I find the Book of Rules that the Guberland City leader wants?
  • 1 of 26: Explore around in the SW section of the academy.
  • 2 of 26: In the large circular room, there's a small table with four books and a scroll on it.
  • 3 of 26: Use the scroll to read it.
  • 4 of 26: Now you know what to do, right?
  • 5 of 26: Pick up the leftmost of the four books on the table by using it. (Note that you can only pick up one book at a time.)
  • 6 of 26: Right-click on it in inventory (it'll be called "Textbook") to see what the book's title is.
  • 7 of 26: Now go up the ladders in the central shaft of the same room to find two levels of bookshelves and tables.
  • 8 of 26: Each table has a scroll on it that you can use to read.
  • 9 of 26: There are two tables on the lower level and two on the upper for a total of four.
  • 10 of 26: You need to put one book on each table.
  • 11 of 26: Simply match the book's subject matter (check its title) with the table's subject.
  • 12 of 26: For instance, the book entitled "Weapons of the Ursanian Empire" would obviously go on the "Offense" table.
  • 13 of 26: To place a book on a table, have it in your inventory and then use the table.
  • 14 of 26: After placing the first book, go back and get another one. Place it, and keep going until all four books are in the right place.
  • 15 of 26: For those of you who want a complete, exact answer, here it is:
  • 16 of 26: "Fortifications and Their Uses" --> "Defense"
    "Weapons of the Ursanian Empire" --> "Offense"
    "Methodology of Acquiring Information" --> "Intelligence"
    "A Study in Tactical Strategy" --> "Strategy"
  • 17 of 26: Once all four are correctly placed, a door will open on the top level, revealing a small room with a scroll.
  • 18 of 26: Read it to find a simple cryptogram puzzle message that you can solve to find out where the Book of Rules is (or skip to the next hint to find out from me).
  • 19 of 26: So it's behind a rotating bookshelf in the "next room," is it?
  • 20 of 26: Don't waste your time looking around in the multi-level book area with the tables. That's not it.
  • 21 of 26: Instead go south a room (from down on the main floor).
  • 22 of 26: There will only be one bookshelf in the room, and it's in a niche in the NW corner.
  • 23 of 26: You need to find and use a certain book. You'll know which one it is if you get up close enough to the bookshelf and look at the books at an angle.
  • 24 of 26: It's near the right end of the second shelf from the top.
  • 25 of 26: And hey, guess what? You don't have to go through all that placing-the-books and solving-the-cryptogram stuff if you're just reading ahead; just go use that stick-out book on the rotating bookshelf and in you'll go.
  • 26 of 26: The fabled Book of Rules is sitting in plain sight on a small pedestal in the room beyond, so nab it and make off with it. (To get back out, press the very same book on the bookshelf.)
