Track down all five Grimoires for The Sorcerer's Appraisal quest in Dragon's Dogma 2. Get details on locations, alternatives, and rewards like the Maelstrom Skill.
Alright, so you've picked up The Sorcerer's Appraisal quest and now you need to find five specific Grimoires for Myrddin. Don't worry, I'll walk you through exactly where to snag them all. Some might be a bit tricky to get, especially if you messed up earlier!
Here’s the rundown of the Grimoires you need and where to find them:
| Grimoire | Location | Interactive Map Marker 1 | Interactive Map Marker 2 |
| Let There Be Light | Looted from Myrddin’s Home. Go upstairs and take it from the table. If you stole this earlier in the playthrough, you can buy the book again from Ibrahim, at the forgery store in Checkpoint Rest Town, by the bridge leading to the gate for 10k G. | Map Marker | – |
| Fulminous Shield | Can be purchased from a trader named Dudley who sits at the northern entrance to Melve. Is also known to travel between Vernworth and Melve. | Map Marker | – |
| Nation’s Death Knell | Looted from either the Waterfall Cave in the northeast edge of Vermund, along the eastern road of Borderwatch outpost. Alternatively, you can go to the Ancient Battlefield and acquire from inside the Cenotaph, underneath the castle, accessed via the main entrance from the road. | Map Marker | Map Marker |
| Howling Blizzard | Also looted from inside Waterfall Cave. | Map Marker | – |
| Towering Earth | Waldhar hands it over to you, who should live underneath the Gracious Hand after completing the Heel of History and the Caged Magistrate questlines. | Map Marker | – |
Just to reiterate, the 'Let There Be Light' Grimoire is in Myrddin's house. Head upstairs, and you'll find it on a desk in the main room. If you happened to swipe it earlier in your adventure, don't sweat it – you can actually buy a replacement from Ibrahim at the forgery shop in Checkpoint Rest Town. It's right by the bridge that leads to the main gate, and it'll cost you 10,000 Gold.
Once you've collected all five Grimoires and handed them over, Myrddin will reward you with the Maelstrom Skill, the Ares Morpho Robe, and 11,000 Gold. Pretty sweet haul!
That's all there is to it for The Sorcerer's Appraisal quest and finding those Grimoires. You should now be all set for the Spellbound quest, which kicks off at Eini's house. You can find her place south of the Mountain's Secret, and northwest of Borderwatch Outpost.
