Eidetic Memory - unobtainable books

I'm nearing a full completion of all the Eidetic Memory books, and I've been collecting the ones you made available in the last couple updates.

I've double checked the ones I'm missing again, and they are still not collectible after you've done the quests accociated with them.

It would be really great if you could make these books available as well, so people can finish off their book collections.

"Letter to Egranor" is supposed to be found at this location in Auridon, most likely associated with the quest on that location. However, after the quest is done, the note is no longer found anywhere.

9jeez9kckxnh.png

"Pierced Note" is supposed to be found in the Redoran house on this location in Balmora, which is associated with a quest. However, after the quest is done, the house is locked off and the note not available. Please either put the note somewhere outside the house, or simply unlock the house after the quest has been completed. There are already way too many locked off buildings in Balmora, why did you have to lock this door as well after the quest has finished?

kliy86rbjb9r.png

"Eyes of the Queen Only" is supposed to be found in Stormhold, Shadowfen. Most likely associated with the quest in that city. However, after the quest is done, the note is no longer available, and the dungeon under the city associated with the quest is locked off.

"Experiment Journal" is supposed to be found in the Vile Manse public dungeon. Most likely associated with the quest in that dungeon. However, once again, after the quest, the journal vanishes. Please make it available somewhere in the dungeon after the quest as well.

x4yvyg6halg2.png

"King Joile's Orders to General Mercedene" is supposed to be found in Honor's Rest in Orsinium, associated with the "Ashes of our Fathers" quest, where you get drawn into the past. Once finished with the quest, you can no longer access the place in the past with the note. Please make the note available somewhere in Honor's Rest after the quest. You could call it a lingering remnant of the past or whatever.

These are the final few I need to be able to finish off the Eidetic Memory collection. It's been a long and ardous journey, but please help me be able to finish it off, that would be nice.

    Although i've not checked it very recently, I can agree with "Experiment Journal" being no longer available. I've got a few others outstanding too, but don't have an overlap with any other of yours. One thing i have noticed is they gradually become available, or the lorebooks addon has old/wrong locations so don't treat is as gospel. i'd say it's *only* about 99.99% accurate! I've also found that some of the books have multiple locations, like another copy in cyrodiil, an area i've not yet 'havested'...

    Off the top of my head, the book in Ophius Chapel is also not available (from the skeleton polymorph quest) and two lised as 'dungeon' in the north of Auridon. I was planning to compile my list once i'd finished off Cyrodiil in case there are further copies there :)

    also double check "Letter to Egranor" - i *think* i picked that one up last week

    I thought they fixed "Pierced Note" with the Dragon Bones patch? I immediately tried to get it after the patch as it's the only Vvardenfell book left for me, but I guess it's still up there inaccessible now.

    I found "Eyes of the Queen Only" in the Fighter's Guild in Stormhold/Shadowfen.
    Enter the Fighter's Guild, take the first left at the bottom of the stairs, then head straight and it's on the table.

    Letter to Egranor and Queen's Eyes were a success. I haven't tried pierced note yet, since it requires quite a lot of pre-work and another player. I still think ZOS should fix this one fully, so you can get it alone even after the quest is done.

    Experiment journal and King Joile's orders are still unobtainable.

    Alright, just to recap.

    - Letter to egranor: found
    - Queens eyes only: found
    - Pierced note: found. BUT, ZOS should just let the house be open after the quest. There's no reason to lock it off. I'll say this is more of a workaround than actually fixed
    - King Joile's orders: STILL needs to be available. Not fixed
    - Experiment Journal, same, not available, STILL needs fixing

    I know which two these are without even looking them up - in a house on the left. Can't get back in even after 'distracting' the guards from their life

    King Joile's Orders to General Mercedene is located post-quest at the foot of the statue depicting Gaiden Shinji and The Orc Whose Name I Totally Remember fighting in Honor's Rest - the chamber at the end past the entrance with the camp and the hallway.
    zFTDFZC.png

    I read that one during the quest, but I didn't read Letter to Baloth Bloodtusk (the other one), and the post-quest location for that one is in The Greedy Gut in Orsinium. Down the stairs, on a counter by the fireplace where a guard patrols and where Obgurob the chef is. So if you can't find the first one at the statue, check in Orsinium. If it's not there, either, then sorry ) :

    Thanks, it actually did work. They must have added the book in one of the updates after I was in Honor's Rest the last time, a while ago.

    That's great, that means that the ONLY book I can't find right now is the Experiment Journal from the Vile Manse. Unless someone has a magic solution for that one as well, I will mark it down as still not available, and hope ZOS makes it available in the future!

    Experiment Journal appears AFTER doing the quest line. It is located on the first floor in a sort of lab area filled with enemies not too far from the group challenge area.

    I had a character that did not get that book on her first run through. But on her second run for the mage's guild, it was sitting right there waiting to be read.

    @cmetzger93 its still in the kinhouse in Balmora. it was "fixed" on pc. and that fix presumes u grouping with a friend or a random that still does the quest. when u do that u can enter the house once again and search it at the third floor. its on the wall just before the stairs start.

    Thank you for the response that seems like a weird way to fix it since it’s still not accessible outside of the quest area

    Alright, I found the Experiment Journal on the place it was supposed to be. I had been looking there several times already, but I must not have been looking hard enough. The activator can be a bit hard to find though, doesn't work from all angles.

    so to recap, all the books have now been found. All can be found, but you need to be in a group with a quester to get inside and grab the pierced note. Silly, they should just let the door be unlocked afterwards ..

    That means I finally(!) have every single book in the Eidetic Memory section. The only 2 I'm missing are books from the IC bookshelves, but those can be farmed and eventually found.

    Pity there's not even an achievement for this.

    I think the journal moves upstairs to the Manse itself. I just took an AD character who lived in that public dungeon back in the day into that place and found a book upstairs. It was not easy to find either. I did not pay attention to the title, I just read it and moved on.

    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Nope, at least that's not where I found it. I found it in the basement where the Lorebooks addon says it should be. Look at the screenshot in my original post. But the activator is kind of hard to find, which is why I must have missed it the first times I was there.

    Hello, I am on my last few lorebooks and I need help finding them. I play on Xbox/NA any help would be greatly appreciated. I have completed every quest in the game so none of these are locked behind quests.

    Note from Khezuli's contact - on uesp.net it says the page is located in the Mages Guild in Haven, but it is not there after the quest.

    Letter of Understanding & To Captain Marck - on uesp.net it says they are both in the covenant lodge located in Pa'alat. I grouped up with someone who activated the quest and was able to enter the buildings, but the page was not in any of them. Are these pages/books moved after the quest?

    Note to Sir Quatrius & The Grandeya is in custody - on uesp.net it says they are both located in At-Nimr Estate in Hallin's Stand.

    These next books aren't listed on uesp.net that I need:

    A Promised Made
    Note to Nurese
    Picnic Note
    On the Tel Var Stones: Volume 1
    On the Tel Var Stones: Volume 2
    Letters to Thalrinel

    Assassin's Orders - on uesp.net says it's at the Rethan Manor, but did not see it.

    If you're able to link a screenshot of your location on the map please screenshot your map. Thank you.

    Knowing Satakal: Devoted and Deranged: IC Bookshelf (Book Stack room in Memorial) I went to the exact spot and no luck with finding this book. There were 3 stacks and 3 books the origins of conjuration, Sovangade: a reexamination & the night mother's truth. So back to Alikr Desert and it is still showing up there. Or was I just in the wrong spot?
