While cleaning out over 3,000 books Librarian: Tidy Up The Arcane Libraryyou may have noticed that there are four locked chests on the second floor. Approaching them will tell you that you need a key to unlock them, but the game won't tell you where to find them.
In fact, you can end up going through the entire game without ever opening any of them, since only one key is found by cleaning up, and you technically don't need what's inside any of them to finish the game. That said, what's inside will help you speed things up, so if that's of any interest to you, then you'll want to prioritize finding the keys right away.
All locked chest key slots
As you might guess, since there are four chests, two on each side of the library, there are also four keys that you need to find. The first assumption is that they are likely buried under the mountains of books on the first floor, but you will only find one this way. The other three you won't find unless you purposely seek them out, and two of them require you to unlock the high jump to reach them.
You don't have to wait until you reach a certain point to unlock the chests. Each chest can be unlocked as soon as you start the gameso this is one of the first things you should do as soon as you start a new playthrough. There is absolutely no reason to wait.
If you are trying to achieve the 'Anti-Magic Master' Achievement, Minor Magic does not count as magic in this case. So you're still free to use all four of these abilities, and you absolutely should.
All keys and chests will have corresponding shapesso once you have a key, be sure to look for the chest that has the matching symbol. It won't work on any of the others. For the location of each key in Librarian: Tidy Up The Arcane Library, see the table below.

Crimson Octagon Key: High jump condition Annoyingly, this is the only key that is visible and still easy to miss. When you start the game you will find one podium on the middle platform of the stairs, with the top of the University of Celesthall above it. At the bottom of the crest on the wall you should see a key dangling. |
|
|
Golden diamond key: Potion with large carrying capacity Once you've unlocked the high jump, you'll be able to find this key inside one of the two white vases sitting on the banister of the stairs. Specifically, if you stand at the podium and face the library, the vase will be on the left. To view the key, jump onto the railing and approach until you can look directly down into the vase. |
|
|
Azure Star Key: Small carrying capacity Potion Once you've unlocked the high jump, you'll be able to reach heights you couldn't before. Specifically, you will be able to reach the top of shelves 2O and 2Pwhere you will find this key. These shelves are at the end of the library on the second floorand the key will be near the university crest on top of them. |
|
|
Emerald Club Key: Drive Permit This key doesn't require any special ability to reach it, but you will need to do some digging. In the center of the library are two large tables with benches on either side. To find this key, you need to remove the bench on the table closest to the stairs. Specifically, it will be bench on the right side of the tableif you stand at the podium and face the library. It will be covered in piles of booksbut you don't necessarily have to put them away. Instead, you can pick them up and toss them aside. |

You must find the Crimson Octagon Key and unlock the high jump to find the Golden Diamond Key and Azure Star Key. Without the high jump, you wouldn't be able to reach the areas where these keys are hidden.

How to unlock minor magic
While playing, you've probably gradually increased your Major Magic and wondered why you haven't been able to access the Minor Arcana. Well, The Minor Magic you're looking for is what's inside each of the four chests. Unlike Major Magic, Minor Magic focuses primarily on traversal ability and permanent upgradesand less on temporary spells.
Unlocking all four Minor Magic abilities also unlocks the “Life Hack Wizard” achievement.
For the most part, Minor Magic will become more important for those trying to complete the game in less than three hours. That said, they're also great for players just looking for maximum efficiency. Please note that this is a one-time upgrade. You will not be able to spend points to increase these abilitiesas it is strictly for Major Magic abilities.

This Minor Magic ability lets you gain the ability to jump permanently.

If you're trying to unlock the achievement by completing the game in less than three hours, this is the ability you should consistently use. Don't waste time on the stairs. |
