"The Legend of the Lighthouse" did I mess it up?

[I Have Moose]

Bought one of those secret maps and it tells me there is a skillbook at the lighthouse, I've been searching for a while (I'm not that great a searcher but I'll find it) and it's occured to me, did I ruin my chance for getting it by killing the ghost of the lighthouse keeper? And I'm also wondering if the skillbook was something I might've picked up without noticing already (I assume not, but gotta cover my bases)

Look under everyone in your partie's magic inventory. See if you see a skillbook. Killing the ghost won't matter. To be honest, I think you got had. I don't remember there being a skillbook at all. I could be wrong though.

EDIT: It's to the left of the door going in. Where you beat the big skelly guy.

Well it looks, like those "secrets" are just rumors, at least cheap ones, didn't check expensive. Tested on various cheap maps, one of them showing location of hiden key in black cove which i found when i was there so i remember it pretty clear. It showing same spot and ofc nothing there ( since i already looted a key ). So you basically paying ~2000 for garbage tips. That key opens invul chest in cove that contains low quality loot. Same story with lighthouse i guess, i slightly remember that i looted skillbook from one of the crates there.

So my suggestion that expensive maps could lead you to burried treasures or "Hard to find things" or smth usefull, while cheap things provides you with tips for keys-skillbooks-hiden switches that you could miss.

You mean lighthouse ghoul? Im pretty sure nothing IN lighthouse, it's outside.

The book is on top of one of the barrels to the left of the lighthouse boss. It does not highlight if you press ALT.

It's a Magic Poison Arrow skillbook that is plainly visible the first time you're in the area of the lighthouse. Not even sure why it's considered a "Secret" to be honest.

It's a secret because it does not highlight when you use ALT. There are other treasures like that in other areas.

Oh cool, I definatly had found that the first time then... Very underwhelming as a secret, and the amount for a map of that thing >.>

So it turns out high perception is profitable!
