Introduction
In new DLC called "Back to Ubersreik" theres new challenge called SCRIVENER. Basically you need to transcribe all 3 runes scattered on 3 new levels. This is step-by-step guide on how to obtain these runes.
Horn of Magnus
There are 10 hidden switches, but you need only to activate 5 of them. Here are their locations:
In the beginning of the level, go through dock and turn right
Face a wall and turn left again
You'll find first switch behind boxes
Moving on to the hog pit, that you will accses after jumping fom the guard tower. Go through the hog pit.
Go upstairs through a little bridge
On the left from the gate way you'll find another cluster of boxes, the 2nd switch is behind one.
Moving on, those who played Vermintide 1 remember the location of the first grim, it's in the cellar that is hidden behind bushes on your right
The switch will be on your left in the corner behind a wooden plank
Now, when you've blown up gate to the town square, turn left
Jump here to accses 3rd tome and 4th hidden switch
Now go upstairs into the inn
you will walk past a closed gate where rune is located
5th hidden switch is on the bar counter, now backtrack to the closed gate
Nice, you've done 1/3 of the challenge
Gardens of Morr
Now it's a little bit easier. You need to go through the beginning until you will be in the opened graveyard. There you will find a skull. Turn it.
Now you need to light 4 candles. Do it qucikly, because candles can extinguish over time (about 30 seconds), but you an always re-ignite them. Here is the path, follow the arrows.
Once all 4 candles are lit, go back to the skull. A tomb will be opened. And here you'll find gargoyle's head.
Take that head through the entire level and just before climbing the stairs before the final event, turn right and jump on the platform below.
Here you will find headless gargoyle, throw it's head into the statue. And then jump down and go collect your 2nd rune.
Engines of War
On final level you need to carry a torch (the best weapon in the game no doubt) to a fireplace and then press 3 buttons on statues near the end of the level.
First, go through the level until you will enter the cave. Dont worry you wont miss it.
Enter the cave and stick to the left side. You should find a secret passage to a small area with a chest
Look at your left and you'll see a big rock. Climb on it and jump as shown on the pictures below
Here lies your torch. Carry it through the level until the destruction of engines of war event
Before going through a tree (basically the beginning of the event) turn right and jump on a tree stump, then a wodden construction and then to the higher ground
Here you will find a room with a fireplace and 3 statues. Throw a torch into the fireplace and take a photo of the statues, you need to remember them
Destroy the engines of war and continiue walking down the level until you will find yourself in the ruins. Here you need to find that big tree, get near it and climb on it's brach and jump to the platform
There are 5 statues. Turn only 3 statues that you saw in the room with the fireplace.
After you will turn 3 switches in correct order a secret door will open with a 3rd rune in it. You did it!

I swear I clicked all the right switches in horn of magnus, even watched a video of it, yet the door stayed closed

I used your guide, it helped me achieve what I wanted to do. Thank you

I see, theres a misunderstanding:
If you press any other switch than the 5 listed, the gate remains closed. Thats what my problem was. The guide doesn't specify that you fail if you press anyother switch.

"Here are their locations:"

When you say "You need to activate 5 of them" that means "Its okay if you activate all 10." So no, you didn't say it. I will forgive you if English isn't your first language.

I literally said at the start of HoM section "There are 10 hidden switches, but you need only to activate 5 of them. Here are their locations:". Smh

What Spag said: Had to redo the mission since the guide didn't specify that you have to click only these specific bricks.
But a well made guide regardless, I hope that the author adds an edit for the Horn of Magnus section about this.

Note for the Horn of Magnus, do NOT click on any other switches apart from what is shown in the guide, otherwise you will be locked out of the room!
