There are 10 lore book collectibles to find in Root of Nightmares. The majority of these are earned by finding spherical objects on the ground while a few come from the secret chests. Finding all the lore entries and collectibles is required to unlock the coveted Root of Nightmares Title.
Before you begin, remember to activate Nezarec’s bonus chest. This will allow you to get one lore book. There are three books to get from this chest, one per week. Below is each lore book, in the order that you’ll encounter it in the raid. This is all a part of unlocking the Root of Nightmares Title, Dream Warrior.
Before you begin, make sure you use the above link to summon Nezarec’s bonus red border chest.
The first lore book is at the start of the raid, before the first encounter (Cataclysm), in the big valley in front of the statue. From the start, continue along the walkway with the big drop on the right. As you approach where the reference node flower spawns, drop down into the valley on the right. The node is on the ground near the foot of the statue.
The next lore book is on the way to the second encounter, Scission. The path will have a branch that bends over to the other side, where part of the platform juts out. Cross the branch and instead of going up the stairs, look to the right of the stairs.
Don't go up the stairs, instead, turn right and look for the collectible on top of a block.
This book is on the way to Scission, the second encounter. Climb the stairs just after the previous lore book and use the piston at the end of the walkway to get to the other side. Branches will twist from weave from side to side. Walk across the branch to find a large section in the wall with creatures trapped in amber. The collectible is on the ground by some rubble.
Another lore entry is in the first secret chest on the way to the second encounter, Scission. This chest is located through one of three holes in the wall of the chasm. As you cross over using the piston at the end of the walkway, climb the branches and look for the three holes in the wall. Jump into the middle one and fight through to the chest.
This next lore book is from the second secret chest. When you reach the pulsing Darkness jumping puzzle, work your way to the section where you must climb up the zigzagging stairs. At the top, look over the edge toward Nezarec’s tomb to spot a resonance node. Shoot the node, turn around, and go through the door that just opened in the building opposite the direct you must travel to proceed.
This lore book is found opposite the second secret chest on the way to the third encounter, Explicator of Planets. It is located in the pulsing Darkness jumping puzzle, at the top of the area with all the stairs that criss-cross back and forth up the sides of the gully.
Go inside the building, climb the stairs, and go through the door at the top to find it overlooking the area.
This lore book is on the way to Nezarec, found through one of the seven small holes in the wall. Go through the hole that’s second from the right. Go straight up to the room with the branch blocking the door. The collectible is on the ground in some rubble.
These three lore books are awarded when you open Nezarec’s bonus chest. Check out the linked guide to see how to open this one. Once Nezarec is defeated, you’ll find a second chest that is guaranteed to give you a red border (Deepsight) weapon and a lore book. You can get one lore book a week.
With all ten lore books collected in Root of Nightmares, you’ll be one step closer to acquiring the Title, Dream Warrior. Check out the Shacknews Destiny 2 guide for more raid collectibles and Title walkthroughs.
