Where to find
Wyndham Catacombs, chamber under the rising floor
Altus Plateau
Starting Site of Grace: Wyndham Catacombs
- From Erdtree-Gazing Hill, climb north through Wyndham Ruins and look behind the upper ruins for the catacomb doors.
- Take the entrance lift down. Work through the blade traps and flooded passages, then climb the ladder beyond the knight.
- At the room where the floor rises toward a ceiling covered in spikes, step onto the floor to trigger it, then move back off it.
- Drop into the space underneath the raised floor. Search the flooded lower chamber for the corpse holding the cookbook, watching for the crabs.
- The boss and the separate Stonesword Key room are not required for this pickup.
Notes
- Unlocks Lightning Grease, Drawstring Lightning Grease, Lightningbone Arrows, Lightningbone Arrows (Fletched) and Lightningbone Bolts.
- The book unlocks its recipes without being equipped or consumed. You also need the Crafting Kit from Kalé at the Church of Elleh to use Item Crafting.
- You keep the book and its recipes in later Journeys. Its number identifies the contents rather than a required collection order.
- Lightning Grease: each craft makes 1, using 1 Root Resin and 1 Fulgurbloom.
- Drawstring Lightning Grease: each craft makes 1, using 1 Root Resin, 1 Fulgurbloom, and 1 String.
- Lightningbone Arrow (Fletched): each craft makes 10, using 3 Thin Beast Bones, 1 Fulgurbloom, and 1 Flight Pinion.
- Lightningbone Arrow: each craft makes 10, using 3 Thin Beast Bones and 1 Fulgurbloom.
- Lightningbone Bolt: each craft makes 10, using 2 Thin Beast Bones and 1 Fulgurbloom.
- The greases add lightning to a compatible weapon with an affinity that allows weapon buffs. The ammunition is for bows or crossbows, so check the type before crafting.
- The fletched arrows use a Flight Pinion, while bolts use fewer Thin Beast Bones per batch. Choose ammunition that fits the weapon you are carrying rather than crafting arrows for a crossbow.
- The flooded chamber beneath the moving floor is the pickup area. The boss-door lever and the optional imp seal lead to other rewards.
