In this room is the boss of the dungeon who is an [[immobilized eidolon]], that is to say a metal humanoid robot which is about 3 times the size of a human being. This one has become aggressive towards humans but, fortunately, the ceiling collapse has trapped its metal legs under a huge pile of stones and it can only use its arms. The fight will be very long because he has 500 life points.

After disabling the immobilized eidolon, remember to collect his loot and you'll find that disabling it triggered a rusty heavy door at the back of the room to open.

To exit the library, use the spiral stairs to go up two floors and arrive in a half-collapsed stone corridor. By climbing the debris, you will be able to cross and you will find that it is the corridor which was just after the entrance doors of the Library on level -1.
