How to use Beasts of Khorinis III
Beasts of Khorinis III is hidden in a cave south of the Old Camp in Orc territory. Bring the volume to Cavalorn to unlock the reptile trophy lesson, then collect three lizard bone scutes and return them if the quest dialogue asks for the materials.
Save before the Orc territory trip, keep the volume until Cavalorn has read it, and do not sell lizard parts until you know whether three scutes are required in your save.
The cave route is more dangerous than the early book locations. A trophy skill learned after the kill will not help recover a part you already lost.
