The route at a glance

  1. Follow the tavern lead to Master Elzevir’s house next door.
  2. Use Aaron to open the house for Noa and retrieve the Warden’s seal.
  3. Speak with Aelbert Elzevir upstairs and follow him to the courtyard.
  4. Light the torches, complete Nominem and Aaron’s scratch, then finish the confrontation.
  5. Return to the work chamber, open the Fyrian Door and gather Noxifer.

1. Let Aaron open the front door

The front door is latched from inside. The open window immediately beside it gives the cat a route into the building.

  1. Check the door as Noa, then switch to Aaron.
  2. Jump through the low open window beside the door.
  3. Approach the inside of the front door as the cat and use Unlatch.
  4. Switch back to Noa and open the door.
Open window immediately beside Elzevir’s front door.

47:24 — The open window gives Aaron access to the inside latch.

2. Reach the upper rooms and return the seal

The cat can use openings that Noa cannot. In the recording, Aaron leaves through another window, follows the exterior ledges, and re-enters rooms filled with books before reaching the seal.

  1. Explore the window route as Aaron. Follow the building’s ledges and open shutters to reach the upper rooms.
  2. Look for the table by the window, beside the tilted book stand and stacks of books. The seal interaction glows red in the recording.
  3. Take the item as Aaron, then carry it back to Noa. The Bringing Items Back tutorial explains that it enters the inventory after the return.
  4. Check for The Warden of Scriptures’ Seal notification. Make sure the internal route is unlatched before continuing upstairs with Noa; her dialogue also checks the trap door.

49:54 — Search for this table in the upper rooms after following the cat’s exterior route.

3. Meet the Warden and complete the courtyard ritual

Go through the house’s kitchen and up the wooden stairs to Aelbert Elzevir. He explains that Noxifer is hidden behind a Fyrian Door in his work chamber. Follow him outside for the ceremony.

  1. In the courtyard, use the torch interactions requested by Elzevir and finish the conversation.
  2. During the ceremony he gives his original name: Maarten Elzevir. This is separate from the public name Aelbert shown on his dialogue.
  3. Use Noa’s revealed form and follow the Nominem aiming and casting tutorial on the identified target.
  4. Switch to Aaron when directed and scratch Elzevir to create the breach.
  5. Finish the resulting Amalgam fight and its reward sequence before returning to the house.

4. Open the Fyrian Door and gather Noxifer

  1. Return to Elzevir’s upstairs work chamber after the courtyard encounter.
  2. Reveal Noa’s magic and locate the two candle holders with floating red leaves.
  3. Target and enchant both candle holders in sequence, then use Ignite. Enchanting only one does not complete the tutorial sequence.
  4. Enter the revealed space and use Gather on the book. This is the Noxifer objective Elzevir described.
