Queen's Domain: Farm Weapon XP at the Tower of Knowledge

Here's how to level weapons on Book Bugs by lighting the wrong gargoyles in Queen's Domain.

Lighting the wrong gargoyles in the Tower of Knowledge summons Book Bugs, and each kill adds weapon experience. You can reportedly repeat the fight by resting at a Crystal Monument. This guide covers how to start it and which weapons work best in Queen's Domain.

Reach the Gargoyle Puzzle in Queen's Domain

Queen's Domain opens the Tower of Knowledge after you light three outdoor gargoyle beacons with the Azure Torch. Inside, go to the balcony with the numbered gargoyle statues.

Trigger the Book Bugs

Light any gargoyle except numbers 3 and 7 with the Azure Torch. A swarm of Book Bugs and a hostile gargoyle, such as a Gargoyle Arbelist, attack together. Reportedly, the arched doorway nearby gives you room to retreat when too many gather.

Pick a Weapon for the Fight in Queen's Domain

Book Bugs reportedly take extra damage from slash and resist impact and pierce. Use a sword, or throw Chakrams, since they reportedly deal slash damage. Buy a few extra Chakrams from the shop first.

The hostile gargoyle reportedly takes extra pierce damage, so switch to a pierce weapon for it. Weapons gain levels from hits, and each level adds 3% damage up to 30%. Many weapons evolve at level 10, and the Rusted Spear becomes Jigeki's Serpent Thrust.

Repeat the Loop in Queen's Domain

Kill the Book Bugs and any gargoyle, then rest at the nearest Crystal Monument. Resting respawns enemies in Queen's Domain, and the gargoyle fight reportedly triggers again. A run reportedly gives one or two levels on a low-level weapon.

Collect any dropped loot before you rest, since Book Bugs reportedly drop herbs. If your weapon kills Book Bugs slowly, the skeletons near a tower save point are reportedly an alternative.

What to Do Next

Light a wrong gargoyle once with a slash weapon to test the fight in Queen's Domain. Level the Rusted Spear to 10 to evolve it into Jigeki's Serpent Thrust. When you finish, light gargoyles 3 and 7 to open the nearby door.

Light a wrong gargoyle, kill the Book Bugs with a slash weapon, rest at a Crystal Monument, and repeat.
