Obadiah Blackhall wants you to retrieve this book from the Ritual Site in Point Lookout and return it to him, whereas Marcella wants it destroyed.

Behind the scenes
The Krivbeknih is a reference to the many esoteric and arcane tomes featured in the Cthulhu mythos, written by H.P. Lovecraft, such as the Necronomicon, Book of Eibon, Pnakotic Manuscripts, etc. These artifacts play a similar role in the mythos, often being used by evil men for sinister purposes.

The Dunwich Building, where Marcella instructs the player to destroy the book, is a reference to Lovecraft's short story "The Dunwich Horror" and an audio tape recovered in the building contains a reference to "Alhazred", the fictional author of "Necronomicon".

This book, (the Krivbehknih), is the book that Jaime's dad was searching for, as mentioned in the personal journal holotapes found throughout the Dunwich building.
