Crimson Moon Guide
Lore Collection & Tomes
Scroll and tome counts per area, Merida quests, and how lore progress persists across runs.
Last updated: September 3, 2026
Quick Answer
HUD shows Lore X/Y per mission. Scrolls +1 each; tomes are quest items. Progress persists. Merida in hub library — quests unlock boons.
HUD counter
Enter a mission → Lore: X/Y on screen. Scrolls increment the counter; tomes are specific books Merida asks for.
Partial progress carries forward across runs — you don't reset lore on death.
Per-area counts (my notes)
| Area | Scrolls | Tomes |
|---|---|---|
| Prologue — Gildenarch | 3 | 1 (boss arena area) |
| Mission I: The Forsaken Streets | 10 | 2 (barred-door shop; post-Warden arena) |
| Hub — Sanctus Silius | 2 | 1 (library shelves) |
Quest tomes can drop on death — pick up from your death spot. 100% lore in a mission sometimes pays small gold or cosmetic bonus.
Merida
Library in Sanctus Silius — turn in tomes, accept lore quests, unlock boons and story beats. I talk to her every hub visit after a run with new scrolls.
Second District sweep
Twelve scrolls in the later district — zone-by-zone route: collect lore scrolls.
