Contradiction Walkthrough

Report to the Institute Steward

After interrogating the library staff during the Investigation quest, speak to the Institute Steward to discuss the leads so far. He will ask you five questions, and you’ll need to answer them based on what you’ve learned.

All Institute Steward Answers

1. "Let's start with the treasurer, what did he say?"
Answer: Heard there was a meeting with a noble from out of town that day. (1st option)
2. "What of Grunil?"
Answer: They were at the lab with Tarho all day, and reckon the guard's the one acting suspicious. (1st option)
3. "He says he noticed nothing?"
Answer: While working on their research with Gurnil, they stopped by the library and got scolded by the librarian. (2nd option)
4. "How about Almenso, the guard?"
Answer: It seems the library has records of everyone's visits, except Raphael's. (2nd option)
5. "There was a new librarian who joined us recently...Javier, that's the one. And what did he tell you?"
Answer: They insist they couldn't have stolen it—since they don't know about the forbidden books or the ancient language. (1st option)

These are all the answers for the Institute Steward's questions. Make sure to read the answers carefully before making a choice as they are worded similarly to each other.

Particularly, for Question #3, make sure to choose the 2nd option where Tarho was scolded by the librarian, not told off.

Apprehend the Culprit

If you answered all the Institute Steward's questions correctly, the quest moves forward. Follow the marker on your map that points to Javier as the suspect, tackle and tie him up, then bring him to the Orc Scholar nearby. This ends the quest.
