Game Encyclopedia is a book that every new player receives at the start of the YGGDRASIL game.

Description

This book is given to YGGDRASIL players, so as to let them understand the basic functions of the game. It is a unique item that was impossible to take by force unless the owner gave it away voluntarily. This was an item that reflected the developer's intention of turning mysteries into exploration.

Appearance

Game Encyclopedia is designed as a heavy tome with easily over a thousand pages long.

Abilities

This book acted as an journal for YGGDRASIL players. Once a player encountered a new monster, the Encyclopedia automatically recorded its basic data. However, the detailed stats were not recorded, only the name, appearance, and the myth behind them. If one wanted to fully utilize the potential of this item, they needed to investigate the monster's weaknesses or special abilities themselves and manually enter them into the book.

Trivia

• It is the manual instruction of YGGDRASIL for new players.
• Peroroncino's Encyclopedia was given to Shalltear, about half of the detailed information inside the book was erased by Peroroncino himself, before he passed it to Momonga.
• A tweet from Maruyama confirmed that the book does not automatically record the basic data of new monsters in the New World unlike the game.
• The book was mentioned in a fantasy of Shalltear saving Ainz.
