In Warhammer Vermintide 2, players will want to start knocking out collectibles as soon as possible. Collecting these rewards has the immediate benefit of upgrading the prize's quality at the end of the match. If players find all of them, they get a huge boost.
Even with the prize aside, players won't be able to say they've fully completed a level without every tome and grimoire collected. Some books can be found by curious minds but others require an awful lot of experimentation to unlock. Thankfully, the Warhammer Vermintide 2 community has done the legwork, showing collectors where each piece is in Fort Brachsenbrucke.
Tome #1
Players will hop down a cliff ledge after text on the screen tells them they are in 'Brachsenbrucke, Vorbergland.' Follow the path until spotting a plain brown house. Make a sharp left and look by the river to spot the first tome.
Solo players can use bots to pick up these items for them if they'd like. As a special note, this is the most recent location for the tome, it used to spawn in a box in the river in older versions of the game.
Tome #2
When players overlook 'Eilhart Road,' the tome is visible on top of some rocks to the left of some burned-down carts. Gamers will need to leap from cart to cart, starting with the one furthest away from the tome, and then onto the rocks with the tome.
Although the middle cart is actively on fire, players will not talk damage when jumping on top of it. The game can be long enough as it is, but missing these tomes is passing up on easy loot, be sure to get them.
Grimoire #1
After another leap down a small cliff, the 'River Eile' location text will pop up. Instead of following the left path, hug the left wall and go over some boulders. This leads to a mesa within jumping distance and then a secret area that can be reached from that mesa.
Look down and to the left to spot a cave. Follow this winding path to a collapsed card with the grimoire inside. If the tide of enemies gets too intense, equip some gear with the best traits to cut them down.
Grimoire #2
The last grimoire can be found when entering the 'Old Fort Armory.' The stone structure in the middle has a box that holds it, but an elevator on top makes it inaccessible.
To lift the elevator, find the switch attached to this structure on the right side, just behind some barrels. Use the shortest barrel to hop up to the tallest barrels and then look down. Using a superior career class can make this entire process much easier.
Tome #3
The last of all the books is found when exiting the 'Old Fort Armory.' Instead of going left and down the path, go right and under a natural stone archway. On a small ledge overlooking the river, the last tome can be acquired.
Getting all the tomes and grimoires on legendary of higher difficulty will give players the best odds of acquiring red veteran loot boxes.
Warhammer Vermintide 2 is available now for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
