Baten Kaitos Ancient Library of Magic Story
Once in the Ancient Library of Magic, look to the north to find a Magnus: Zeit Robe. Afterwards, interact with the seal next to the item and the group will determine that they cannot go further and you decide to continue exploring the library!
Next, head behind the counter to the right of the above seal and interact with the boxes to find a Geography Section Key. You can bring this to the first seal to unlock it!
Head inside then push the red bookshelf all the way to the left. Follow the path north then work your way to the next red bookshelf. Push it south (not all the way) then sneak in front of it to grab the Magnus: Sforzando.
In the southwestern corner of the room you’ll find the Philosophy Section Key. In the northwestern corner of this room, you’ll find a Magnus: Will-o’-Wisp Hat behind the bookshelves.
Head to the middle of the room directly south of the red bookshelf you pushed to find Geography Book.
If this book is not there, you might first need to interact with the door near the red flower in the second area for this to become available.
Exit this room and head east side of the room. Go up the floor to reach the second level. Enter the first door to reach a foggy room. Head directly east and interact with a bookshelf to find the Magnus: Deluxe Shortcake.
Head north and follow the path to the right of the red flower to find a Magnus: Falcon Statue.
While you’re there, interact with the nearby door to learn that you’ll need to gather the 4 books he wrote. Head to the west and push up the red bookshelf to find the Philosophy Section Seal and use the key to open it!
In the Philosophy Section, you’ll need to climb up the ladder on the southeastern bookshelf to reach the Magnus: Scarlet Shell. Head west and jump the gap to reach another ladder. Take it down to reach the Magnus: Deluxe Cookies and the Literature Section Key.
Follow the path on the ground level to reach the red bookshelf and push it all the way down. Make your way to the southeastern ladder and climb up. Head all the way west to reach the southwestern ladder. Head on down to grab the Magnus: Magnum Cornet.
Interact with the bookshelf to the left of the ladder to receive the Philosophy Book.
Now that you’ve gotten everything in here, exit the room to return to the foggy room with the red flower! Next, head to the southwestern seal to find the Literature Section.
In the middle of this room, you’ll find the Magnus: Silver Sword. Next, go to the north side of the room. Take a left and push the red bookshelf south (not all the way). Climb up the ladder and jump south. Climb on down and grab a Magnus: Ruby Earrings.
Push the red bookcase up then climb up the ladder and jump north along the gap. Walk over your newly pushed bookshelf to find the Literature Book.
Exit the room and interact with the red bookshelf in the southwestern corner with a key on top to cause it to fall over.
Head through the next path to find a Magnus: Kite Shield. Continue east and push the red bookshelf out of the way. Head south to reach a hallway. In this area head to the east to find a Magnus: Wave Blade. Continue west down the hallway and enter the room to the north to find the History Section Key that you previously knocked off the bookshelf. Next, backtrack to the first area and enter the History Section.
In the northwestern corner, you’ll find a Magnus: Taurus (Star Map Fragment) and Magnus: Fruity Gelatin. In the southwestern corner of this room, interact with the bookshelf to find the History Book.
In the northeastern corner of the room, interact with the bookshelf to find a Magnus: Deluxe Bonbon. Next, exit this room and return upstairs to the foggy red flower room and place the 4 books on the bookshelves.
Once all books have been placed, the northern door will unlock. Head inside to trigger a cutscene followed by a fight against Folon who is weak to light and water and resists fire and dark. During the fight, he can boost his attack at the start of a 4 combo attack that ends with his signature fireball move to deal massive damage. After you defeat him, a cutscene will trigger. When you reach the world map, return to the room you fought Folon to find a Magnus: Water Mirror Anklet.
When you’re ready to move on, return to the world map and head east to Holoholo Jungle.
