Vermintide 2:All Tomes and Grims in Return to the Reik
The Return to the Reik mission in Warhammer: Vermintide 2 takes players to the banks of the Reik River in search of a sword formerly owned by Markus Kruber’s father. The map itself is fairly linear, but if you’re looking for all the Tomes and Grimoires in Return of the Reik, you may have a tricky time considering how well-hidden they are. In this guide for Vermintide 2, we’ll be going over how to get each of the Tomes and Grimoires for this map to spare you some time and effort.
Warhammer Vermintide 2: Convocation Of Decay Tome And Grimoire Locations
The Convocation of Decay in Warhammer Vermintide 2 has some impossibly tricky hidden books if players don’t already know about their locations.
Return to the Reik Tome #1
The first Tome is near the beginning of the mission. Follow the shoreline, and keep hugging the left side until you reach a waterfall. There’s a sign there that leads to a troll cave. Follow the sign and enter the troll cave. You’ll find a pile of bones and bodies in the middle, and on it are a bunch of supplies and the first Tome in Return to the Reik.
You’ll also find a Bile Troll, which you should be able to take out fairly easily if someone on the team is using a strong boss-killing class like Bounty Hunter or Grail Knight.
Return to the Reik Tome #2
Continue the normal path through the mission until you reach a big cave that you need to blow open. Place a barrel at the entrance while fighting off the Skaven, then proceed to the open area in the image above. The second Tome of the mission is inside a chest tucked in a crevice along the edge of the path. Make your way around the cave, then when you get to the marked area, turn around and jump to the narrow path to reach the chest.
Return to the Reik Tome #3 and Grimoire #1
The final Tome and first Grimoire of the mission are in the rundown house in the woods near the river shore. Once you clear the cave, fight your way through the Rotblood camp to reach the house. You can destroy the boards blocking the house’s entrance with your weapons, but before you do that, head over to the shore first and look for a tunnel blocked by chains. Inside is a key that you’ll need later.
After getting the key, go back to the house and look for a hatch on the floor. Use the key to open it, then go down the stairs. The first Grimoire is on an altar.
Once you grab the Grimoire, go to the second floor of the house. You’ll find the final Tome under one of the beds.
Return to the Reik Grimoire #2
The second and final Grimoire is found on a Skaven ship. To reach it, you’ll have to board the Shadowship anchored near the rundown house, then fight off enemy ships until you get the chance to board a Skaven ship.
Once one of the Skaven try to board your ship, board theirs instead. Then, turn right, then look for the Grimoire stuck on the roof near the ship’s chimney.
That’s it for all the Tomes and Grims in Return to the Reik. At the end of the match, you’ll get the best odds at getting the best gear in Vermintide 2.
