The Riddle for Temp Librarian Plus 3 Makes no effing sense at all.

Even after turning to the internet for the answer! Seriously, I feel like an idiot. Can anyone explain this to me?

EDIT for reference.

I missed the Carnelian books on my second play through WITH A GUIDE. It doesn't really hurt if you missed them though, you can still beat to final boss without the bouns.

Lol no joke. I never have the two of them attack. They both do nothing but spam White Ghenna constantly... that spell is so stupidly overpowered.

Now if only it has tracking like hell gate does

It doesn't, but that's a good thing, especially considering that the range is so much larger. Before you cast it, look at when the spell will land. Any enemies that move before then, guess about where they will move on their turn, and cast on the appropriate area. The AI is too stupid to avoid spots where an AOE art is going to hit before they move again, so generally the first turn you cast White Ghena right in front of your guys because the enemies will bunch up there.

The third one isn't a puzzle at all. "Fl" is and has always been an abbreviation for "Floor" just like "Rd" is "Road" and "St" is "Street", etc.. The puzzle is literally giving you the answer by telling you exactly where it is.

[Schiwata]

it confuses most players at first glance though
reason being... the previous one being absurd

[darksteelhyren]

I see what you'r saying Chillin, but (FL) =/= (F L) so I was trying to read it as (word starting with F) (word starting with L)

And I was trying to make sense of the letters that had been Incorrectly Capitalized (Grassy, Hill, Nigh, Unto, etc)

I put the original hint in the original post if anyone wants to check it out.

[Ǵ̶͓̂͑lí̴̤̀̄́tcĥ̸]

Yeah I got you. I saw it as sort of a lazy giveaway with the space added to sloppily throw people off. The first two were a lot better and more thought out.

[52pickup]

Yeah, gotta agree lol. I actually finished both the second and third book by myself, mostly by stumbling across the correct areas (for the second one I simply just explored the Tratt Trail area and found the rock formation; once I was in that area it was easy to recognize the diagram).

And for the third one, I looked at the "3" and the "F" and translated it to "floor" in my mind (by the way, you cannot say that "3 F L" blatantly translates into "floor" by going with the GAME'S ACTUAL naming convention. "Floor" is represented by just "F" sheerly from the actual area and building that the quest giver is in. Thus the game actually leads you AWAY from thinking this). I thought the game would be tricky and would have the book be in the same building, but it wasn't. And what with all the wacky capitalizations in the poem, I invalidated my third floor theory, since the poem hints literally strewn across the entire passage MUST have all been collectively pointing towards something else. But they weren't.

When it came down to it, I was exploring Sanktheim Gate when I found a few barrels on the second floor. That prompted me to explore it more and I found the book.

So yeah. Dumb quest. But oh well. We can just name this quest as one of the low points in this game. And that's not very significant.
