Completing Mother Owl’s Crossword Challenge

Upon entering her chamber, solve two vertical clues to advance:

• Clue 1: “A savory dish often paired with condiments” – Solution: Mouse
• Clue 2: “Period of silence in communal spaces” – Solution: Day

Successfully answering these will return you to 9N, preparing you for the confrontation ahead.

Navigating Hostile Archives

Between levels 13-15, librarians become aggressive. At 15W:

• Option A: Engage two librarians for bonus XP (recommended)
• Option B: Take the upper passage, face one guard, then leap into the chamber access

Accessing Restricted Chambers

Start at 11S and examine the literary mound to trigger an emotional response. Converse with the archivist and initiate combat against the tome weevil. Succeed in the dice challenge to create an opening, then revisit the books to gain courage. Proceed to the final volume to reveal 15W access.

Strategic Progression Tips

Delay confronting Husk Marisa on level 12 until completing all floor objectives. This ensures the guardian vacates her post, enabling re-entry. Complete essential encounters on 9N before returning for the climactic battle.
