Starting location

To start the quest, follow the path north of Moonglow Garden until you find the location of Eini’s House. Inside the house, you can find Eini and Trysha. Speak with Trysha once Eini has walked out of the room and she will automatically give you the list of books she wants without you agreeing to help. If Eini doesn’t walk out, carry her with R2/RT, then put her down outside the door and talk to her to trigger the quest.

NOTE: This quest is effectively the same as The Sorcerer’s Appraisal, where you are finding the same list of books for Trysha’s father Myrddin. If you want to complete both quests in one playthrough you must create forgeries of all the books, then give the forgeries to Myrddin and the real books to Trysha.

Bring Trysha some grimoires

You must look in several locations to find the books she wants. The quest log includes some hints for the first four books.

Bring Trysha “Let There Be Light”

You can obtain Let There Be Light by going to Myriddin’s Home in the Checkpoint Rest Town.

This is Trysha’s father’s home, but he won’t actually speak to you normally and sends you away and locks his door unless you show up wearing the Courtly Tunic and Courtly Breeches, which you are required to obtain for the main quest The Stolen Throne. Once you come to the door wearing these you can enter this house, and upstairs on the desk you can find Let There Be Light.

NOTE that if you speak with Myrddin in his house he has his own quest The Sorcerer’s Appraisal where he asks you for the same list of books.

Bring Trysha “Fulminous Shield”

Fulminous Shield can be purchased from the trader Dudley located in Melve where you travel in the main quest In Dragon’s Wake. He is standing near the north entrance to the town. The book base price is 5000 G. Note after you purchase this from him here he will leave this spot, so if you want other items from him purchase them before the grimoire or you will have to track him down again in Vernworth.

Bring Trysha “Nation’s Death Knell”

Nations Death Knell can be obtained in two locations. The first is from a chest located in the Waterfall Cave dungeon, This is a very large dungeon you can access early in the game, but it would be recommended you wait until you’re around level 20 with some upgraded equipment before going in, as you’ll need to fight two bosses on the way through unless you manage to run past the first one, and then escape from the second one without grabbing any other items. You can enter either the north of south entrances to the cave, then move to the lower right spot on the 1F to reach the spot where you can go to the second floor. On 2F you can find a large room with a red chest. Opening this chest gives the Nation’s Death Knell and Howling Blizzard grimoires, but also spawns a Wight boss that will attack you.

The second location is from the Ancient Battleground dungeon. This dungeon is located northeast of the Checkpoint Rest Town and is a large field with a castle to the north that is counted as the same dungeon map.

Going up the path into the castle on floor 2F you can find a long hallway with a couple of rooms off the side. In the north room (opposite from the locked door) you can find the book sitting on a stone pedestal.

Bring Trysha “Howling Blizzard”

There are two ways to obtain Howling Blizzard. The first way is to reach the Namless Village location, far east of Verworth. In this village, you can find a woman named Wendy in the house west of the Inn.

She wants the Fulminous Shield grimoire in exchange for Howling Blizzard, but it is not recommended you do this trade if you want to finish this quest earlier in the game.

The recommended way is from the same location where you obtain Nation’s Death Knell, as you will receive a copy from the same chest.

Bring Trysha “Towering Earth”

Towering Earth can be obtained by speaking to Waldhar, who you are required to rescue from the Vernworth gaol during the main quest The Caged Magistrate. If you didn’t speak with him a second time during the escape or hadn’t picked up this quest before freeing him, you can find him by going back into the underground area in the Slums to The Gracious Hand’s vaults.

Once you have found all the books, return to Trysha.

IMPORTANT: Only give her 3 books, NOT all 5. This is important so that you have enough books left to give to Myrrdin for side quest The Sorcerer’s Appraisal, who wants the same books (because there is a second copy of Nation’s Death Knell you have 6 books total and can give 3 to each person to do everything in the same playthrough, otherwise they lock out each other). This is mandatory to get all Maister’s Teachings in a single playthrough. It’s also important that you give Trysha the real books, you could technically make forgeries at Ibrahim’s Scrap Store in Checkpoint Rest Town, but if you were to give a forgery to Trysha it won’t trigger the next quest steps correctly and you’d miss out on the two Maister’s Teachings.

Visit Trysha in a few days’ time

After giving her all the books, you will need to wait a short period for her to read through them to continue the quest. You can rest at the nearby campsite for a single day then come back.

NOTE: It is possible to Eini to randomly die from enemies nearby. If this occurs and you can’t find her you will likely need to go to the Vernworth Charnel House and revive her with a Wakestone.

Exhaust Trysha’s magick reservees

When you return Trysha will be outside casting magic. You need to wait around for her to run out of magic and calm down. You cannot directly attack her, just avoid the spells she is casting, then run up and grab her with once she becomes exhausted and stops casting spells.

Wait for Trysha to wake

After the scene, you will need to leave and wait again before you can return to see Trysha. You can rest at the nearby camping spot again for a day, then come back to the house. There will be one final scene with Trysha, after which you get a skill tome from both Trysha and Eini, completing the quest.

This finishes the Spellbound side quest in Dragon’s Dogma 2.
