How to Open the Stone Slab

Equip the Key of the Ancients

Players will need to equip the uncommon item Key of the Ancients to open the Stone Slab in the Enclave Library. There are multiple ways to obtain this item which will be discussed in the following sections of the article.

Key of the Ancients Overview

How to Get the Key of the Ancients

Kill Nettie in Emerald Grove

When you ask for help from Nettie for the first time, there is a possibility that she will become a hostile enemy if you refuse to take the poison, or if you choose to attack her after she poisons you. Once she is hostile, you can kill her without the other Druids being alerted.

After she dies, interact with her body to loot the Key of the Ancients item and equip it on your character's head. You can then open the Stone Slabs in the Enclave Library, which leads you to the Underground Passage.

Key of the Ancients Overview

Kill Findal in the Undeground Passage

Alternatively, you can also kill Findal to get the ''Key of the Ancients.'' You can find him in the Underground Passage being tortured by goblins. Enter the area through the Stone Door just outside the Emerald Grove.

Underground Passage Guide

Take Down Findal

When you beat the goblins, you can then take down Findal on the floor. Interact with his body after he dies and loot the ''Key of the Ancients.'' Equip it, then climb the higher platform to find the room with the Stone Slab. Open it to gain access to the Enclave Library without having to interact with Nettie or the other druids.

Alternatively, Steal From Findal

While Findal is lying on the ground, you can steal the Key from him which means you won't need to head to the grove and kill Nettie for it.

What is the Stone Slab?

Connects the Enclave Library and the Underground Passage

The Stone Slab is a door that connects the Enclave Library and the Underground Passage. It allows you to sneak into the Enclave Library without the other Druids knowing, or as a getaway passage to sneak out of Emerald Grove if you have turned the Druids hostile.
