Archives are the underground level of Ruins of Desaure. You can get there through a variety of ways, but the location itself is divided on three parts. The upper one is available only by jumping down the whole while fighting with the skeletons for an iron key. The right one opens itself only via riddle with a monster trapped in a corridor. The left one opens after using both iron keys and pulling levers. This part lets you collect some notes and reveals a secret after solving, located there, puzzle (8). Through here, you can also get to the Sewers or to the Lexiconary.
