Gotham City hides many shadows and secrets within its dark alleyways and towering skyscrapers. As the protector of Gotham, it helps to uncover some of these mysteries to better understand the enemies you face. This is where collecting the Historia Strigidae pages comes in handy in Gotham Knights.
What are Historia Strigidae Pages?
The Historia Strigidae pages contain information about the secret Court of Owls organization. This group consists of wealthy and influential members of Gotham‘s elite who run the city from the shadows.
As a shadowy cabal that‘s existed for centuries, the Court of Owls has a long and bloody history intertwined with Gotham‘s past. Each Historia Strigidae page provides a small glimpse into their nefarious operations over the years.
Collecting all 42 of these pages serves two important purposes:
It increases your knowledge about the Court. With every page, you uncover more details about key events, rituals, bases of operations, members, etc. This intel could prove invaluable against them.
Every page collected grants you additional XP. Gathering the full set provides a nice XP boost to power up your chosen hero and unlock new skills.
