Lost books in Kharbia
The adventure splits into two sections in this region. The first is found inside a dungeon accessed through a hidden passage at the Nestorian Monastery.
descend, turn left, proceed forward, then turn right. A rack must be pulled toward the player. Return, pass through the opened passage, and on the left another cupboard awaits a similar pull.
Return to the central corridor, sprint to the dead end, then turn right. A third rack needs to be tugged fully toward the player.
Back in the hallway, run to the end, turn left, and walk straight ahead. On the left a hole leads to the next room where the book rests.
The second part centers on a locked house. The exact location is shown on the map for those who need it.
You may enter through the open window on the south wall.
Proceed downstairs. On the right a grid appears. Aim at the fuel can and throw a throwing knife to trigger the mechanism.
Exit the way you came. The house door can now be opened, and behind it lies the second book.
Lost book in Abbasiya
Move toward the indicated building. The route requires reaching the top floor by breaking a wooden door with a sword strike. Then advance, turn right, and take the third piece from the shelf.
Lost book in Karkh
The target building sits near the port camp. Climb onto the veranda and peek through the barred window toward the castle. Break the window with a throwing knife.
Traverse the perimeter to the second floor. The fourth book rests on a table to the left.
Lost books in Baghdad
The fifth book is inside a market area, inside a small building guarded carefully. Climb to the very top, turn right, open the door, and claim the book.
To reach the sixth part, head into the swamps. Climb up, grab a can, and use it to blow up a fragile floor behind you. Drop down and recover another book from the rubble.
Lost book in the Green Dome Palace
The seventh and final book becomes accessible only after completing the Snake’s Nest task. Without that completion, access to the Green Dome Palace is blocked.
Enter the building and head southeast toward the gardens, then reach the balcony. Through the entrance you gain access to a patio. Turn right, inspect the shelves, and locate the book resting there.
