In Avowed, Anextli’s Grimoire is a unique off-hand spellbook that can grant you access to two unique spells without having to unlock them individually in the Wizard skill tree. The first spell is called Grimoire Snap, and it requires that you spend a skill point in Grimoire Mastery I at Level 5 before you can use it. When casting this spell, you will deal a shockwave of Explosive Damage that knocks back nearby enemies and deals Stun.

Secondly, you can also use Missile Salvo after spending another point on Grimoire Mastery II at Level 7. Casting this spell calls forth a sphere of arcane energy that unleashes a blast of multiple missiles at nearby enemies. While it does cost a skill point to unlock, this spell is otherwise not normally available to spellcasters until Level 10.

How to Get Anextli's Grimoire in Avowed

You can find Anextli’s Grimoire very early on in your playthrough of Avowed, in the area of Ivona’s Threshold just north of the docks of Claviger’s Landing. Another way to approach this location is from Dehengen’s Cottage in the west. From the cottage, head east across the bridge to the next island. Then, go north across another bridge.

Turn right on this island and head around the cemetery on the south side. Jump across the wooden platform, and then go left up the path that slopes upward. Then, turn right between the rocks and you should hear the voice of the Pyromancer. He’ll burst into flames as you approach and afterward, you can safely take Anextli’s Grimoire from the ground next to him.

How to Use Anextli’s Grimoire in Avowed?

The best way to use Anextli’s Grimoire in Avowed is by equipping it to a Wizard or Court Augur build. Both of these builds will primarily utilize spellcasting, and the bonus spells provided by the grimoire will be very useful.

Even though you will have to spend two skill points in the Grimoire Mastery passive, the second Rank unlocks at Level 7. Consequently, this will give you access to Missile Salvo a few levels early. Normally it would not be available to unlock until you reach Level 10.

Although normally weapons have two enchantments per item in Avowed, grimoires are the exception to this rule. Instead, they typically provide access to at least two higher-level spells. Therefore, because there are no enchantments, you cannot upgrade them.
