Lost Judgment: Skill Books - locations Lost Judgment guide, walkthrough
This Lost Judgment guide page answers the question: where to find Skill Books?
Last update: 04 February 2022
On this page of the Lost Judgment guide, you can find a list of all Skill Books obtainable in-game. We explain where to find them and how much they cost (sometimes, in various currencies)
Skill Books only unlock new skills - to activate them, you need to spend a certain amount of SP. A few of these books can be found in the course of the main storyline. If for some reason you haven't picked them up during the mission, you can find them later on at Onodera's Wares.
