There’s a new gameplay feature in Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 16 called the Thousand Tomes. As you progress throughout the game and complete various side quests, you will interact with Harpocrates.
As Clive progresses through the main story, he will unlock various modes, such as the Hunt Board, Training Modes, and the State of the Realm with Vivian. So, to learn about the details of ever-changing character relationships, seek out Harpocrates. This guide will detail what The Thousand Tomes are in Final Fantasy 16.
What is the purpose of the Thousand Tomes in Final Fantasy 16?
Has there ever been a moment in the game where you have been overloaded with information and, in learning new details, you forget what you’ve learned? The Thousand Tomes is a comprehensive compendium of Valisthean lore in Final Fantasy XVI.
It will cover everything from basic items to important persons, geography, and history. As a result, new information is constantly added as Clive progresses through the story. During your quests, you will also come across Active Time Lore entries. You can access it by pressing the Touchpad on your controller.
You will also be able to access this information in The Thousand Tomes. The person providing you with this detailed information about the world of Valisthea is Loresman Harpocrates.
To unlock new records of his knowledge, you must interact with him to relay Clive’s stories. As a result, each time you interact with him, you will increase his knowledge level during various points and access new knowledge throughout your journey. In addition, to knowing more about the present day Valisthea, Harpocrates has dozens of folklore about the knowledge of the past.
Before the five-year time skips, you could find Harpocrates in the central area above Kenneth Kitchen in Cid’s Hideaway. However, you can find Harpocrates in The Shelves at the new Hideaway.
