What do I do with the Lexicon of Paradox? Can I just not do anything with it and go to Act 4?

I'm talking to Galfrey about attacking the Midnight Fane and the option of handing it to her is there. Anyway, I understand that it's filled with high skill checks that will unlock the secret ending and experience.

Additionally, from what I understood, if you collect all of the Storyteller's notes, he can help manage the skill checks for this. problem is, I kinda found his notes interesting but they're too text heavy for me to bother reading at the moment. Can I not do anything about this until act 4?

Deciphering the Lexicon is required for the Ascension ending, and deciphering the Lexicon is not possible in Act 3. Giving Part One to Galfrey before the Midnight Fane does not necessarily lock you out of deciphering the Lexicon, but it depends on past and future actions.

Alternatively, keeping Part One does not lock you out of deciphering the Lexicon, but it might not be easy. In fact, it's not necessarily easier than it would be if you had given Part One to Galfrey.

I don't understand the question about the Storyteller at all. Of course you can click through the dialogues without reading the stories.

To clarify, Galfrey has to like and trust your character for her to give the lexicon back. If you annoyed her several times you won't get it back in act 5 if you give it to her.

Oh sorry, to clarify: I was bored out of my mind waiting for Galfrey to arrive in Drezen that I just want to get the next story mission on. I learned that the Storyteller can help lessen the skill checks or something, but to my understanding it involves his notes? I read some of these already and enjoyed the story so i was worried of having to slog through his story while keeping the lexicon.

i see, thanks. i guess I'll give it to her and see if she likes me enough to return it later. it's my first playthrough anyway, I think whatever ending is fine.

It's for the secret ending. Here's a guide that goes over it:

For storyteller specifically, doing his quest will allow you to bypass the skill checks to decipher the Lexicon. Which I believe is an Act 5 thing.

All you need to do with the Lexicon in Act 3 is read it and either give it to Galfrey or not depending on your Mythic Path.
