Grimoire Locations
Grimoire Location 1
Early in the mission, during the objective "Find the Supply Elevator", on the far left side after you open the big door. You can find the Grimoire in the room pictured below.


Grimoire Location 2
The first Grimoire location in the Warhammer 40,000: Darktide mission HL17-36 Smelter Complex can be found during the objective "Find the Supply Elevator" while you are inside a big room in which you can see lava flowing beneath you. Go as far as possible to the left side of the room to find the first Grimoire.

To better showcase you this here is a video of the location.
Grimoire Location 3
During the objective "Find the Supply Elevator". After ascending a short flight of stairs, you can turn right to find a side room. Inside this room, the Grimoire can spawn in the corner, behind a vertical pipe..


Grimoire Location 4
The second Grimoire location can be found right after the objective "Neutralize the Daemonic Growth". The next step of the mission is to "Activate the Furnace".
Run into the next room and on the right side you will notice a greenish glow. That is where you can find the Grimoire.

You can also watch the video to get a better understanding of the location.
Grimoire Location 5
During the objective "Proceed to the 'Fab", you will cross over a large room with several floors and many stairways. At the end of this area is a large door that needs to be opened to continue the level. Instead of going straight to the exit, go down to the lowest level and look around for the bridge in the first picture below. Then follow the directions in the captions below to find the Grimoire location.
