How to get Antiquarian card in Nightingale: Blueprint location & materials

Nightingale requires players to collect cards to access new Realms, and the Antiquarian version is one of the first you’ll come across. Here’s how to get the Antiquarian card in Nightingale, including the location of the blueprint.

Nightingale has enjoyed a successful launch since arriving on PC, as thousands of players have dropped into the new survival title. Like most games in this genre, fans are dropped into a vast open world and forced to fend for themselves, all while trying to reach the titular city.

The main twist is that players can transport themselves to different Realms, using cards to decide the Biome and difficulty. Most of the cards are scattered randomly, but the Antiquarian version is in a fixed location that can be found early on in your playthrough.

Here’s how to get the Antiquarian card in Nightingale, including where to find the blueprints.

You can earn the Antiquarian card in Nightingale by heading to the top of the tower next to your first camp in the Abeyance Swamp Realm and completing the Site of Power. However, this won’t be easy, as you will be tasked with slaying a boss called the Fable Automaton Knight.

This encounter begins once you reach the arena at the end of the Site of Power, and beating the boss will reveal an altar that can be interacted with. Doing this will release a Hope Echo and automatically unlock the Antiquarian card blueprint.
