Dragon's Dogma 2 grimoires — locations, forgeries, and quest hand-ins

Safest one-playthrough plan: collect six quest-eligible originals, give three originals to Trysha for Spellbound and three different originals to Myrddin for The Sorcerer’s Appraisal. PowerPyx also reports that Myrddin accepts forgeries while Trysha must receive originals for her quest progression and Maister rewards. Make an inn save before either hand-in.

The shared five-book list

Two viable completion routes

Spellbound: Trysha

1. Reach Eini’s House north of Moonglow Garden and speak to Trysha when Eini is outside.
2. Hand over exactly three original books.
3. Return after time passes. During the magick event, evade rather than attack; grab Trysha only after she is exhausted.
4. Return again after she recovers for the reported skill-tome rewards.

The Sorcerer’s Appraisal: Myrddin

1. Complete Seat of the Sovran and wear the Courtly Tunic and Breeches at his Checkpoint Rest Town house.
2. Give him three books; PowerPyx reports that forgeries work here.
3. If Myrddin withholds his teaching after Spellbound, the guide reports a variable workaround involving Trysha’s Turquoise Ring, waiting and returning. Treat this as a recovery report, not a guaranteed rule.

Before handing anything over

• Do not use, sell or gift a quest grimoire until both hand-ins are planned.
• Verify “original” versus forgery in inventory; matching names can be easy to confuse.
• Make an inn save before the first set of three.
• If an NPC died, check the appropriate morgue/charnel house before assuming the quest is lost.
• If too few books remain, NG+ is the only consistently safe recovery this guide can promise.
