Lost Judgment: All 28 skill books

Lost Judgment: All 28 skill books A skill book unlocks an ability for purchase. After finding it, spend the listed SP and complete any earlier skills in the branch to learn the move. The two story pickups have later shop alternatives. You can buy them later if you miss the school roof or Chapter 12 safe. Story pickups and their alternatives 1. Book of the Wounded: Chapter 2, while climbing Seiryo High after the classroom fight. Explore to the right rather than immediately following the leftward route to the roof. Later alternative: Onodera's Wares, 3,500 SP. Unlocks Verge of Death: Wounded Tiger. 2. To Crush a Dragon: Chapter 12, in the tatami-room building's second-floor safe. Get the codes from the wounded man and enter 8010 on the safe. Later alternative: Xi Ying Tang in Chinatown, ¥78,000. Unlocks Dragon's Crushing Fist. Side Case rewards 3. Book of the Ravenous: finish The Forbidden Taste. Unlocks Verge of Death: Ravenous Snake. 4. Memoirs of an Eagle: finish My First Errand, the late-game request involving the child's shopping trip.

Unlocks Exalted Roller after the earlier Roller skills. Don't confuse it with the electrical-box squirrel outside Millennium Tower, which gives paint. Cat rewards 15. Book of the Brink: max the orange-and-white/calico cat's affection near Ijincho's homeless camp. Unlocks Verge of Death: Brink Strike. That skill also needs the three relevant counter skills in the tree; the book alone isn't the final prerequisite. 16. Showa Duel Records: Fire: max the striped/tiger cat's affection at the same homeless-camp group. Unlocks EX Sword Cyclone. These are rewards from the particular cats. A general Pawpularity rank quoted without identifying the cat can send you to the wrong group. Ranpo searches 17.
