Tales of Arise Bibliophile guide: How to find all 5 books for Tigrina

Who has time to read books while saving the world? Tigrina, the librarian in Autelina Palace in Tales of Arise asks you to find five books during your quest. These items also happen to be the weapons used by Rinwell. It’ll take you almost the entire game to complete all of Tigrina’s requels, but it’s well worth the ordeal.

Completing the quest is the only way for you to get the Pancake recipe, which grants you an Ore Up L effect. After eating Pancakes, you will extract more materials from mineral deposits. It’s a must-have food item if you’re looking to craft powerful weapons and accessories later in the game.
