The Restricted Section

This page is about the Year 11 quest called "The Restricted Section." To read about the Restricted Section of the Library, visit the Library page.
The Restricted Section is a quest given by the Headmaster in Year 11. It is required to unlock the Tomb of Othaliamus and continue the main questline that unlocks Focus.
== Description ==
"In hopes of appeasing the spirit and getting her to leave, you've agreed to tell the Headmaster you found nothing. In exchange, the spirit promised to explain why she's there and how you can help."
== Objectives ==
# Return to Groaning Gertle
# Find a way into the Restricted Section
# Search for the flying sphere with wings and grab the Headmaster's key
# Use the Headmaster's key on the Restricted Section door
# Search for the moonstone in the Restricted Section
# Return to Groaning Gertle
== Walkthrough ==
Talk to Groaning Gertle in the Bathroom. She will tell you that you need to go to the Restricted Section in the Library. If you try to open the door, you will find that it's locked. To get the key, you need to catch the "flying sphere with wings" (Golden Snitch) that is flying around the castle. It flies in a fixed path, so it is possible to stand in one spot and wait for it while spamming E to catch the key. You can also try chasing it on a broom, but this can be difficult; you will have to cut it off to catch it.
Some good places to wait are outside the Dueling Classroom or on the roof of the eastern Library entrance.
Once you catch it, you will be given the Headmaster's Key, which you can now use on the lock of the Restricted Section door. CodeLad's statue will come alive and break down the door; from now on, you can enter the Restricted Section any time.
Beware of Monster Books that will spawn in this area. They are weak individually, but are quick and can swarm the player easily. Try to avoid them by walking on the bookshelves up top where they can't reach.
The Moonstone is a pink glowing crescent. It's in the corner of the Library behind a short black fence. Once you have the Moonstone, return to Groaning Gertle to complete the quest.
== Rewards ==
# 2000 points + 300 xp
# Unlocks "The Tomb of Othaliamus"
