Tomes and Grimoires - Act 1-3

I made a guide with screenshots to all tomes and grimoires from Act 1 to 3.

This guide is way harder to follow than it needs to be, but it's a million times better than no guide.

[Lord Cumquad]

Anime is cringe

[Rhizzy]

This is the best guide for the regular maps! Nice descriptions and good images.
I wish you've done all the DLC maps as well. Cause the guides that are out here, are not that great.

[=TBM= Borris]

Yeah. There's a wall for the 1.1 grimoire. It took me awhile to figure out, but you can go to the second floor and drop down on the crate. Then you can get the grimoire.

[G O G G L E S]

1.1 first grimoire has a wall in the way, did the devs change the layout? I can't jump to it anymore.

[Saladofstones]

1.3 second grimoire is hard to follow

[Danny Devito]

@20 bucks you can drop from above onto a box

[私は彼です]

first grim in act 1.1 is very hard to understand, never got that one

[IBBY]

hi! i was just wondering when (or if) you're ever going to get around to covering the DLCs, love the guide btw! ^^

[Sardaukar]

Hey good sir! thank you so much for this amazing guide!

I have one thing to add, on Act 3.3 Festering ground the tome where you need to jump across and its a hard jump of sorts. thats Tome 1.

you actually just need to walk on the pile of dirt then jump on one of the broken fences then jump from there you land easily on the other side, no speed potions or talents needed!

again thank you so much for the guide. its a true life saver.
