How to unlock the Antiquarian Major Card in Nightingale
Finding the Antiquarian Major card Schematic is the first real test in Nightingale. Locating and unlocking the scheme will test your equipment and also see you facing your first boss.
In this Nightingale guide we will tell you where to find the Antiquarian Major Card scheme and how to create the card yourself when you return to your base.

Once you complete the first major quest to upgrade your gear to power level 20, Puck will give you the “Unlock scheme: Antiquarian main map‘ prompt for your next mission. To find this schedule, you need to go to a specific temple near you: the Antiquarian place of power.
Grab all the supplies you need (food, healing potions, and weapons are good) and then head to where you got the Essence Trader in your game. They should be next to a temple building called the Antiquarian Site of Power. (It’s worth noting that both the Essence Trader and the Site of Power will appear on your map, as shown above, so mark the location and head there.)
Once you reach your destination, climb to the top and run into the electric fence. Unlike other gates at other temples, this one lets you through. Now you have to fight your way through a bunch of monsters and a boss in the basement. Take it slow and heal when you need to. With your new weapons and items you can take out the enemies if you are careful.
Kill the boss in the basement and then interact with the machine to get the schematic for the Antiquarian Major Card. Now all you have to do is make it.

Be sure to purchase the following schemes before leaving the Essence Trader:
- Simple saw table
- Simple smelter
- Simple Enchanter’s Focus
- Simple mortar station
Build all four stations in your house. Take two bundles of wood to the simple saw table to make one piece Paper. Bring two gems of any kind to the Simple Smelter for crafting Glass. Bring any item that can be refined into pigment (berries, meat, mushrooms, etc.) to the simple mortar station and craft it Refined pigment. Then, also with the Simple Mortar Station, combine the glass and the refined pigment Alchemical ink. Finally: collect 25 Essence from anywhere in the world.
With your Essence, Alchemical Ink, and Paper in hand, head to the Simple Enchanter’s Focus and build a Antiquarian map.
Now you are ready to continue with the main story of Nightingale and go with Puck to a more dangerous realm.
