It is said that knowledge is power, and Survival: Fountain of Youth embraces that axiom wholeheartedly. While you can empower your character by crafting powerful Medicines or learning new Survival Abilities, there are some special benefits that can only be acquired by finding hidden Books throughout the world. Read on to see where you can find them!

How Survival: Fountain of Youth Books Work

Survival: Fountain of Youth Books, once found, can be read to permanently improve one of your Skills with a unique Perk. There are two Books associated with a particular Skill and will unlock a new ability that you can't otherwise get. When looking at a mapped area, Books are marked with a diamond symbol, though not all symbols will lead you to a Book. 

Books are not instantly consumed like Recipes -- you have to perform a task for multiple hours to read them. When you do, the book's "decay" meter will drain. When complete the Book will be added to your journal and the Perk gained for the skill. You can either destroy the book or store it, though there's no other use for read Books at this time.
