Warhammer 40K Darktide: Grimoire Locations

Now, the first difference between the Vermintide and Darktide grimoires that some people would notice is that the Darktide Grimoires do not have a set spawn location where you will be able to find them each and every time. First of all, you should also be informed that you cannot gather these grimoires without having them have a sub-objective because they do not spawn without an objective.

Furthermore, these grimoires also spawn in several randomized locations where a maximum of only two grimoires can spawn. Until now, there are no certain locations where you can find these grimoires as there are a ton of spots, making it a bit difficult to document them all. However, we believe that there are a set number of locations among which the grimoire can spawn each time.

A tell-sell sign of these grimoires is that they are shaped like a Devil’s Book with some green accents that also glow. Also, you can, fortunately, spot the glow of these grimoires from a decent distance.

What Is Grimoire In Warhammer Franchise?

Now, to simply put it, the grimoire is a risk and reward system developed by the Warhammer franchise to spice up the game. This is because carrying these books of evil will cause a huge debuff. However, in return, if you can escape with these grimoires, you will be rewarded very generously by the game.

Furthermore, let us first discuss a bit about the downsides of grabbing a grimoire. The cons of the grimoires, due to which the mission difficulty multiples by a lot, are as follows:

Downsides of Carrying Grimoires:

• Carrying a grimoire occupies an equipment inventory slot, preventing you from carrying med kits or ammo boxes for healing or restocking.
• Grimoires inflict corruption on the carrier, reducing health by around 25% for one grimoire and 50% for two grimoires.
• Grimoires slowly drain the carrier’s health over time, adding to the challenge of maintaining health during missions.

Rewards for Carrying Grimoires:

• Despite the drawbacks, completing a mission with grimoires yields better rewards, including increased XP, gold, and higher rarity loot.
• The number of grimoires carried affects the magnitude of the rewards, with a maximum of two grimoires per game.

How to Find Grimoire In Warhammer Franchise?

• Grimoires emit a distinctive green glow, making them identifiable from a distance.
• They are typically located in corners, crevices, or dark areas off the main path of a mission.
• Spawn locations for grimoires may be specific and predetermined, potentially recurring in the same locations across multiple playthroughs.
• Each game can have a maximum of two grimoires, limiting the number of potential grimoires to be found and carried.

By grabbing these grimoires, you will be able to level up much faster in the game than you probably think. So we highly recommend you give it your all and try your best to exfiltrate these books of evil safely.
