However, before you are able to do any of this, you first need to find the Oval Stone that acts as a key to open the book. This is a special Amethyst called Dark Amethyst. We’ve only found one in the game and you can find it at the location marked above on the map.
This is a huge underground cave that’s full of spiders and a spider queen boss. It’s a tough fight but doable with a party of level 2-3 characters. You can reach this cave by visiting the Blighted Village, this is a large village far to the West of the grove. It is initially filled with goblins, who you can either kill or convince to leave you alone.
Once you’re at Blighted Village you need to jump down the well. Follow the well through to the cave and you will find the Dark Amethyst sitting on the lower levels, just below where the spider boss is.
