Strange Book

For the books you get from shadow missions, see Ancient Books#Strange Book.

Basic Information

• To distinguish a monster from an item, there are a few possible ways:
  • First, load Windmill, and scroll your mouse over a book. If it is the item, there will be an arrow with an X over it; and if it is a monster, there will be a fist.
  • For a more simple way, right before all of the books spawn, the books that give items will fall to the ground. While the monster ones will appear with black smoke.

Notes & Advice Notes Several of these spawn with Strange Book items. Players can tell the difference by watching for the books that fall without the black smoke effect that is associated with monsters spawning or despawning. Advice Similar to Mimics, they will not normally aggro the player without being provoked. They can be opened by clicking on them, summoning a pet with an aggressive AI to attack them, or using Lullaby, Windmill, Blaze, or Focused Fist.
