Book Locations

All missions have three Tomes and two Grimoires in Vermintide 2. Tomes take up the health slot and Grimoires take the potion slot. Grimoires cannot be set down once picked up, only discarded permanently. Each Grimoire will lower the total health of every party member by 33%, unless they have a trinket equipped to resist curses.
