Complete Library Walkthrough

How to complete Clean The Library from first pickup to Clean badge. Full two-floor walkthrough with keys, magic, and co-op pacing—with verified gameplay video.

How to Complete the Entire Library

Full completion means earning the Clean The Library badge at 9.3% Rolimon win rate—both Classic floors shelved, progress bar at 100%, and every volume in its coded section among 1A–1J downstairs and 2A–2F upstairs. Grand Library adds a separate badge chain (Having A Grand Time at 2.4%, Clean The Grand Library at 1.6%).

This walkthrough breaks the run into four phases you can pause between sessions thanks to June 2026 floor save persistence—books dropped on the floor now stay placed between rejoins, reducing catastrophic pile loss.

If you are returning after a break, walk the hub and both floor mouths first—floor saves mean old dumps may still need sorting before you continue Phase 3 upstairs work.

How to play across multiple days: end each session with a clean hub audit, not a scattered dump. Shelve what you can, leave only one consolidated pile at the entrance landmark, and note which wing you will open next. Returning players who ignore leftover floor clutter spend the first thirty minutes fixing yesterday's mistakes instead of pushing second-floor percentage.

How to Find Books Blocking 100% Completion

The Clean badge fails silently when one book sits wrong—often misfiled on the wrong floor wing, floating near stairs, or hidden in a co-op dump you forgot to shelve.

Check hub piles and floor clutter left by the June 2026 save system: persistent drops help recovery but can hide the last missing volume under newer chaos. Use H hints only on books you genuinely cannot classify after zoom and lookup.

Pair this search with the video below at timestamp pauses—watch where the player backtracks when percentage jumps slowly; that backtrack pattern is usually the same aisle you need to audit on your own save.

Phases 1–2: First Floor and Movement Kit

Phase 1 — First floor learning (1A–1J): establish hub pile discipline, earn Getting Started badge, unlock Assemble and Sort, collect Golden Diamond and Azure Star keys during natural sorting loops. Read getting started and color sorting strategy before Phase 1 if you are brand new.

Phase 2 — Movement completion: collect Crimson Octagon jump and Emerald Club sprint to finish mobility kit. Follow key collection route instead of random exploration. Jump shortcuts between floors save hours over a full clear.

Phases 3–4: Second Floor Push and Final Audit

Phase 3 — Second floor push (2A–2F): deploy Insight at wing checkpoints, Shelf Guide for palette overlap, Auto-Shelving only on pure section batches. Hint pool budgeting matters most here—see hint system guide.

Phase 4 — Final audit: Insight both floors, fix stuck rows per stuck shelf fix, confirm 100% progress, claim Clean badge. Cross-reference map pages, keys, abilities, and badges throughout.

How to Beat the Completion Checklist

Before claiming victory verify: all four keys, all five major magic abilities used appropriately, both Classic floors Insight-clean, zero floating hub dumps, progress bar 100%. One misfiled spine blocks the badge silently until found.

After first clear chase timed badges with speed run route, Grand Library milestones, or No Magic Pro Mode with no magic guide. No promo codes exist—see codes page for the 150K UPDATES milestone (FREE CODE removed July 2026).

Co-op first clears benefit from splitting Phase 3 upstairs while one veteran audits Phase 1 downstairs—see co-op strategy for role assignments that prevent duplicate Sort waste.
