anyone has that achievement? i did it 2x with each hero and i don’t even have 30
Wow, did you bother to click on those so many times?
That achievement is stupid:
- there aren’t 40 unique books, so you have to play more than 1 time the adventure and click on the same books
- every time you click on a book, you have to wait 20 seconds of unskippable dialogue
- the dialogues are always the same; it’s just a waste of time
The achievement should have been “read every book”, but blizzard needed the extra “listen to all books multiple times while not being able to skip the dialogue if you somehow already read them”.
I have only the first part of the achievement (so <20)

Hi, I posted on this topic on the hearthstone topdeck forums.
I have all achievements complete for the book of heroes except the Restless Reader in which I am currently at 27/40 total. I am noticing there are some books that drop randomly from minions and there are some that I have found that drop from legendary minions as a rare drop. I can’t find any information of anyone who is tracking where each are found yet.
The one example I have of this is whenever you are on challenge 3 facing Ol’ Rattleswipe he will eventually play a legendary minion called Pip. I waited until he played Pip before killing any other minion and killed Pip first before any other minion and upon dying he spawned a lorebook called First Mate’s Log which gives details of Pip’s interaction with Ol’ Rattleswipe in which he notices him talking about snake armies and a woman’s voice calling him to find some relics as to provide additional lore to the overall story. If there is anyone else trying to locate all of these lorebooks, this is a good one to try and go for if you are stuck trying to find more. I will try and experiment with other battles like this in an attempt to discover more lorebooks from other legendary minions for the other chapters. I encourage others to try and discover them as well.

This achievement is completely stupid.
Could you give the books titles so we can catalogue them? Can you tell us which levels to get them?
Like seriously, I’ve finished the game with all 3 special minions and I’ve gotten a total of 18. I’ve been patient on EVERY level waiting for them to spawn.
I shouldn’t have to farm the solo adventure 50 times in the hopes to find the magical lore books that I might be missing. I could imagine if I have to find 40 unique ones where they could be hiding.
At least fix this so ANY 40 books will do, I’m not reading the lamely written plot of the solo adventure. If I wanted an enthralling story of this type, I’d simply read the cereal box in the morning. It’s not like you’ve got George R.R. Martin squirreled away writing prose that shouldn’t be missed.
Tell whoever created this quest not to quit their day job.
Actually, have them quit their day job so no more of these quests are made. The person who made this quest is probably the brainiac who created the stupid maze puzzle for the last expansion.

Not to mention how easy it is to miss them. I missed 1 because I selected multiple attack targets including 1 for lethal, and 1 of my other attacks caused a lorebook to appear which of course I was unable to read as a result of already having selected lethal.

This seems to be one of those achievements for which it would be beneficial to have WoW’s interface. From en established list of steps it would mark completed green.
There’s been a couple of cases for Hearthstone where it required manual tracking by the player. It’s understandable where the list would become too big (for example the School Teacher X different spells), but where it would be perfect for solo adventure ticks such as using each hero power of each special minion.
Edit: Nearly 3 runs completed and on 19 lorebooks.

I’m now currently at 29/40 and trying to keep track in a list, after I complete the adventure several more times I will have a decent size list of where most are found at the very least for others to try and follow. Any that I am not able to find I’m hoping that others can try and pick up the pieces and determine where the remaining lorebooks are.

Are you saying there are 40 unique books?
If that’s the case, then I was wrong.
But I wonder where they are, since it seems like you can only find 1 per match.
You probably need to get to fatigue against every boss to see if they have a minion that spawns a book then
Yes, they are unique but i’m not quite sure if there are 40 total in this adventure. It is possible there will be more of these adventures in the future with more lorebooks potentially. Each of the books are a unique name and the story it tells represents the title of lorebook.
Example: Dathril’s Unsent letter, and Ambassador Program lorebooks can be found in chapter 12: The Sundering.
Example: Challenge 4: Captain Hooktusk – Hooktusk’s Journal (Spawned from random enemy minion), Notes from the Crow’s Nest (Spawned from Shady Parrot, no other lorebook spawned before this one during the fight)

I have fatigued them all as well but there is something interesting I’m seeing in some cases to where you can’t have the minions spawn a lorebook you have already seen during the fight if you are trying to get a new lorebook, I think you just have to restart if you see a lorebook drop that you don’t want. That is why I just play defense until I see the minion I want to kill to spawn a lorebook.

I believe there’s at least one with two lorebooks in a fight.

This could be correct as well. I will continue to experiment and get and overall list so whenever someone finds one not on the list we can hopefully get it added.

already done, for (almost) every fight, i waited until they use all their cards before killing them
and i’m still at <30
xD
already done but it seems the minions who are supposed to drop them don’t do it all the time
or
anyone tried to complete the previous books of heroes?
That is a good idea to try the other book of heroes. I tried to see if there was any lorebooks in Jaina’s first level but nothing dropped so I went back to Faelins book. It could be possible they drop towards the middle or end of the previous adventures.

Sorry cannot recall what are the two remaining lorebooks.
I am also at 29 lorebooks. I can confirm that there are no lorebooks in Illidan’s adventure, I have done it two day ago and none lorebooks appeared.

Very nice, I’m happy to see so many found, who can get to 30?
I don’t know if we assume that every bossfight has at least two lorebooks included, it is strange that we are still missing 11 lorebooks in total. Here are conclusions I drew:
- Why there is only one lorebook in Halus’ fight?
- No lorebooks in Ozumat fight- potentially 2 lorebooks but no board space to spawn them.
- No lorebooks in Jailer’s fight -also there is a possibility that there are 2 books.
- In Zainra’s, Dathril’s and Azshara’s fights, we found only one book respectively - 3 missing.
If we sum this up we have 8 but where are the remaining 3?
maybe there will be some future adventures, which would let us complete the achievement?

For Ozumat achievement (thanks to vov12012 from reddit)
[I figured out a pretty consistent way to do the Ozumat achievement.
So you want to pick Halus as a companion and then do the following:
Mulligan: Keep everything.
Turn 1: Bloom out Caye & pick ‘Dream Team’. Bring left 1/20 to 1/15.
Turn 2: Bring 1/18 to 1/15 & leftmost 1/15 to 1/10.
Turn 3: Play Halus & pick ‘Tenacity’. Attack 3rd tentacle from left.
Turn 4: Attack 5th & 6th tentacle from left. End Turn.
Now all tentacles should suicide into your taunt.
Sometimes 1 of the tentacles can die before turn 4, depending on Unstable Shadow Blast RNG. I have also seen Ozumat killing your taunt from hand after you pass your last turn. Just retry if those things happen.]
