One of the biggest parts of progression in Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is getting new loot, which will allow you to upgrade your heroes and make them more formidable in battle. The best way to maximize the amount of loot you’re getting is to pick up things like the Tomes in Vermintide 2. When collected, Tomes reward you with more experience, as well as additional points towards the loot box that you earn at the end of each mission. These items are hidden throughout each mission and today we’ll show you how to find every Tome in Vermintide 2, across every mission.
All Tomes in Righteous Stand
Tomes are special collectible items that you can find in Vermintide 2. These items are extremely important if you want to maximize the amount of loot you are earning along the way, but there are a few things you need to know before you start searching for them.
First, Tomes take up the healing item slot, which means that you’ll need to drop any type of healing items that you have in order to pick it up. The good news is that you can easily drop the Tome and pick up a healing item. This will cause the Tome to drop down onto the ground, and you can pick it back up after using the healing item.
Tome #1
The first Tome in Vermintide 2’s first campaign mission can be found just after you reach the Franz Erikson Platz area. Once you reach this place, keep progressing until you reach a ramp of boards that allow you to cross over a turned over cart. Don’t head over the ramp just yet, though.
Instead, turn to the left when facing the ramp and look out for a wooden cart near the back of the area—close to the gate. Head to the back of the cart and then hop up into it and look down in one of the open crates to find this first Tome.
Tome #2
The second Tome can be found after you reach the short area of wall that you have to cross. There should be a large gate-house ahead of you, and a drop down into the new area.
Head into the gate-house and then turn to the left and head up the stairs. At the top of the stairs, don’t continue through the door just yet. Instead, turn to the right and walk to the back of the room, where you should see a whole in the wooden platform. Look down to spot a small landing where this Tome resides.
Tome #3
The final Tome in the first mission for Vermintide 2 can be found once you reach the very grassy area near the end of the mission—just before you enter the Temple. Follow the path forward and drop down into the grass.
Move forward towards the stairs, but don’t head up them just yet. Instead, look for some bushes on the left and head through them. You should find a small alcove behind all the bushes, where this Tome can be found laying on the ground.
All Tomes in Convocation of Decay
Tome #1
The first tome for this mission can be found after you enter the Temple Hospice. Look for it on top of one of the bunks. It’s easy to miss, so make sure you look around when you find the room with the bunks in it.
Tome #2
The second tome in this mission can be found inside of the Garrison Sewers. Once you reach a break off in the tunnels, keep to the left and look for the tome nearby, near a wooden wall.
Tome #3
The final tome in this mission can be found inside of Carlomant’s Memorium. Look for the item on a tomb just behind the shrine. Make sure you grab it before you move on.

All Tomes in Halescourge
Tome #1
Before you exit the doors near the end of Von Mackensen Strasses, look to your left and you should spot this tome nearby, waiting to be collected by you and your party. Look for a crate with a hole behind it in the wall. You should be able to crawl through and reach the tome in a small room.
Tome #2
The second tome can be found near the Merchant District. When looking towards it you should see a small boat that you can jump over to. From here you’ll need to climb up a ladder and make your way into the Merchant District, where you’ll need to turn to the left and follow the area around until you reach another boat on the side of a house. The tome can be found here.
Tome #3
After the landslide, head to the top floor of the buildings and look for this Tome inside of the tower nearby. It will be on one of the bookshelves at the top of the tower.
All Tomes in Athel Yenlui
You’re clear during the first portion of this mission, but a few minutes in you’ll find yourself needing to veer off from the main path to start grabbing Tomes. Keep in mind that Tomes take up the slot of your healing item and can be dropped and picked back up as needed.
Tome #1
The first tome in this mission can be found just after you reach the Wilds and get the objective to ‘Proceed Through the Wilds’. When you see this notification pop up, turn to the right and following it around until you reach a fallen tree and a pillar nearby. Head through the fallen tree and then turn to your right. You should see a wooden crate ahead of you. Look inside it to find this Tome.
Tome #2
From the last Tome, continue along the wall on the right side and follow it around until you reach a small rock that drops down. Walk to the right a bit more and then turn to your left and look for another wooden crate. This Tome is hidden inside the crate.
Tome #3
This Tome can be found much later in the level, as you explore the ruins inside the forest. Look for a small ramp that leads to a drop off and then head over the edge and drop down. Once below, head forward and to your right, through the leaves and then use the rocks nearby to jump up to a small area. At this point you should see a small wooden board stretched across two rocks. Grab the Tome and then drop back down to continue through the level.
All Tomes in Screaming Bell
Tome #1
As you explore the mission you’ll eventually come to a building that you need to move through to proceed. You should be able to see the tome outside of the window on the first floor. In order to get it, though, you’re going to need to go a little out of the way.
Head upstairs to the top floor of the building and then move out onto the balcony. Turn left at the end of the balcony and then drop down to a platform with a crate on it. From here, continue across the front of the building until you reach the tome and collect it.

Once you reach Spucknapf Market, head under the bridge and stick to the left side of the area until you reach a ladder in the corner of the path. Follow the ladder up to reach the start of a small jumping puzzle that will allow you to jump alongside the bridge all to the way over to the other side.
Now that you’re on the opposite side, look for this tome inside of a crate at the end of the jumping puzzle.
Tome #3
When you reach Von Bisschenbesser Strasse, turn to the right and look for an archway between two buildings.

Like the first tome, players will find this third tome depending on the path that the map spawns for them.
If Barsch Ford leads you to the right, then keep to the right once you hit Eile Headland and look out for a torch near the rocks. From here keep close to the formation of rocks on your right and follow the path until you reach another path that leads you clockwise up another set of rocks. Follow this jumping path until you reach the tome at the top.
If Barsch Ford leads you straight through, then continue until you reach Eile South Bank.

Tome #2
The second tome in Against the Grain can be obtained after you fight the Rat Ogre outside the barn. Head inside and then take the ladder to reach the second floor. Once up there, drop onto the area with the second ladder and cross it. Head forward until you reach the wall and then turn to the right and jump toward the window. Don’t fall down, though.

Turn to the left at the rocks and then jump into the water. It isn’t deep enough to drown you, so don’t worry about dying or being downed. Once in the water, keep moving until you are behind the tree that has fallen over near the rocks. You should see this final tome inside of a wooden crate under the surface of the water. Grab it to finish collecting the tomes in this mission and then make it to the end with all three tomes to grab extra rewards.
