Searching for theSpellbound grimoire locationsinDragon’s Dogma 2is a daunting task, especially as you don’t have much information to go on. Meeting Trysha for the first time atEini’s Hometo the north of the starting town of Melve, you might have assumed that this would be an easy gig, but hunting down the grimoires takes you all over the map.
The rewards for helping this little girl learn magic are well worth it, though, since if all goes well you’ll get the Meister’s Teachings for both the Mage and the Sorcerervocations, making this a must-do quest for any spellcaster. All that said, here’s how to find all five grimoires for Trysha in the Spellbound quest, plus resolve its other steps for the rewards.
Fulminous Shield location

This first grimoire is very easy to grab—head to the entrance to Melve with the burnt houses and look for Dudley, the merchant with the backpack. You canpurchase Fulminous Shield from Dudley for 5,000 gold, but since that’s a lot of money early on you might need to save up first.
Howling Blizzard and Nation’s Death Knell location

The next two grimoires are quite a bit trickier to claim since they require you tofight a wight boss. If you haven’t defeated one of these before, I recommend bringing a mage with the Empyrean spell, sincethey’re weak to holy magic.
Travel to theWaterfall Cavedungeon near the Borderland Campground campsite on the road to the capital of Vernworth. This requires progressing the main quest a little so you can leave the Melve region. To enter the dungeon, climb the rising path behind the campsite and the rocks to find a cave entrance next to the upper waterfall.
Progress through the dungeon until you reach the second floor and find an old academic’s study filled with scrolls; make sure to avoid the extremely difficult chimaera boss on the way. You’ll need toopen the chest in the centre of the room chest to get Howling Blizzard and Nation’s Death Knell, though this will summon the wight.
Theoretically you could run away from the boss, but it’s well worth beating since it gives you lots of RC and the Eminent Coat, which is a decent armour piece for Mages.

Meteoron is a very strong damage spell, though it has a long cast time and can only be used outside. Celestial Paean, on the other hand, temporarily grants infinite stamina and damage reduction to you and yourpawns, making it a powerful support magic.
