Since the release of the Fatesworn, the expansion pack for Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning, fans have been eager to explore what’s new in the game. The DLC contains six more hours of additional content, with new equipment, items, and materials. Among the lands of Mithros, players will come across a quest called The Broken Crown. This guide will show you how to enter the Restricted Area for the quest.
How to Enter the Restricted Area in the Great Library
If you are doing the Broken Crown quest, you will know that this quest follows the storyline quest for The Sins of The Father. You will have to speak to Wynn Ashman, and he will tell you about the forbidden stack in the Great Library, and how she won’t be able to help you herself. You will end this conversation outside the Great Library itself.
You can then enter the Library’s main hall, which is home to six guards and some guests. At the hall end, there is a gate patrolled by two guards. No matter what you tell them, it will be pretty pointless as they will not move. You will need access to the restricted key to get inside.
You can take the easy way and kill the guards outright and take the keys from one of the bodies, but then you will be at the mercy of having a bounty on your head. The other safer route will take a bit of time but will cause you no implications whatsoever.
You will have to go back to the six guards in the main hall. One of them has the keys. The guard you are looking for will be standing to the left of the gate, in front of the bookshelf. He will be easy to spot since he is the only one that doesn’t have any patrol pattern and will be standing stationary.
To begin your attack, enter stealth mode while at the end of the bookshelf. You will notice that there will be an eye icon above the NPCs. Be careful if it starts changing from orange to red, as this means that the NPCs are alerted by your presence. In this case, you will have to wait for it to reduce by waiting near the bookshelf end.
You can now slowly approach the guard from behind when the other two guards have gone off on patrol. You will have to fix your timing right, so make sure you save your game before attempting to steal the key. When you do get lucky, you will get a button prompt to take the key. You can also see everything else that he has in his possession. There is also a percentage number next to the items that show you how risky it is to take it. To get the key, you will have to keep the percentage below 50%. The awareness level in the room influences the risk of getting caught. If you do get caught, just reload your last save.
After you have successfully retrieved the key, you can now enter the restricted area in the Great Library without any charges on your head.
This is all there is to it! You just have to keep the awareness level as low as possible and avoid getting caught at all costs.
