Type Soul Library Guide, How to Solve the Maze & Book Puzzles
Progressing in Type Soul can be tricky, especially when you’re exploring the dangerous layers of Hell. One of the most challenging spots is the Type Soul Library, hidden deep inside Ring 3. This guide explains how to reach the Library, solve its rhyme puzzles, and arrange the books in the correct order so you can move forward toward unlocking stronger abilities.
Getting to the Type Soul Library
To access the Library, you’ll need to go through Hell, which starts at the skeleton-covered gate near the basketball court in Karakura Town. Keep in mind that you must have your second form unlocked to enter. Once inside, travel through the layers of Hell until you reach Ring 3.
Before reaching the Library, you’ll face a maze. This maze isn’t just a random puzzle — it’s also where you’ll find the Bamboo Hat Man, an NPC who grants Vows. These Vows are important for crafting and boosting your personal build.
When you manage to exit the maze, the game will automatically teleport you to the Library entrance.
Library Puzzle Challenge

At the Library, your next task is to pass through the Library Gate. To do this, you must solve a set of rhyme-based puzzles tied to five special books scattered inside. If you make a mistake, you’ll have to restart the Library puzzles, but you won’t be sent back to the first layer of Hell — only to the beginning of the Library section.
Book Riddle Answers
Each book contains a riddle that you need to answer correctly:
- One With the Blade — Answer: The Blade is Me.
- Story of the King — Answer: I Worship the King.
- Power Unmatched — Answer: My Power is Absolute.
- Strength of the Soul — Answer: My Soul Never Wavers.
- Faith in Self — Answer: I Believe in My Fist.
Correct Book Order
After solving all riddles, arrange the books in this sequence to open the Library Gate:
- I Believe in My Fist
- My Power is Absolute
- I Worship the King
- The Blade is Me
- My Soul Never Wavers
When the order is correct, you’ll see a confirmation message and receive the Library Gate item, allowing you to move deeper inside.
Why the Library Matters
Finishing the Library puzzles isn’t just for bragging rights. This step moves you closer to unlocking the True Bankai variant, a stronger and more refined evolution of the Soul Reaper path. Gaining True Bankai grants enhanced combat abilities and helps you push further in late-game content.
The Type Soul Library can be intimidating at first, but once you know the correct riddle answers and book order, the process becomes straightforward. Prepare before entering, stay patient in the maze, and double-check the puzzle sequence to avoid restarts. Completing this challenge is a key step toward mastering your Soul Reaper journey.
