There is a lot to uncover during one's playthrough of Pentiment, one of the most recent additions to Xbox's Game Pass. Players that decide to investigate will sometimes be rewarded for their efforts. There's an achievement in particular that requires players to find a secret door that leads to the library.

It can be difficult to navigate in this game since some parts of the map are so extensive and there are so many doors to open and see what's behind them. This guide will help players get to the secret library door and show them how they can open it.

Where To Find The Secret Library Door

It will take players around 15 hours to play through Pentiment's story and during this time they will navigate through a history-filled world of curiosity and mystery. Those that try to see what's in every available nook and cranny and try to interact with anything that might look out of place, will be very satisfied to know that they might uncover a secret door to the library.

While at the Kiersau Abbey, Andreas - the main character - can explore the entire place. And, if during this time, the player finds and successfully opens the library door, they'll receive the Cryptic Solutions achievement (worth 15 Gamerscore).

When looking at the map, it's possible to see that the library is connected to the church area. So, the secret passage will either be in the crypt or in the tower. In the tower area there is not really anything to interact with, so the crypt is the best bet.

Players have to enter the crypt, and then they have to keep walking to the left side of the room until they reach the end of it to locate a large stone with a figure engraved on it, with a lot of frames around it.

When they get to the stone engraving, players have to press "investigate" which will open a close-up of it, allowing them to control Andreas's hand. The puzzle is quite simple - the image displays a woman holding a baby with a key in their hand. The only thing players need to do here is press the key to pull it out of the baby's hands and take it. This will open the secret library door.

Pentiment is available now for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S
