Spoilers: this entire guide reveals a hidden item, codes and rewards.
Where is the Witch’s Grimoire?
Reported location and interaction
Community guides place the Grimoire near the large tree on the starting beach. One describes a hollow in the tree; another places the interaction behind the tree by a wall. These descriptions have not been independently playtested here, so inspect both places.
- Return to the starting beach and locate the large tree.
- Inspect the tree hollow and the wall behind it for an interaction.
- The code guide says to select Witch’s Grimoire from consumables, press F and type the password. The guides say inscriptions consume ink.
Check the in-game prompt before committing ink. The available evidence does not establish a reliable starting quantity or refill rule across builds.
Community-reported codes
All 33 community-reported codes and rewards
Selected entries compared between the item guide and code guide; checked November 8, 2026. Both list 33 codes and matching rewards; their shared provenance is possible, and GuideWiki has not playtested them. Uses below are attributed to a community guide, build not stated.
| Code | Reported reward | Reported use |
|---|---|---|
| B0BARLEY | BoBladely | A thrusting weapon with a dash attack; its second character is zero. |
| BIOGENESIS | Witch’s Scythe | Use its special for a damaging directional dash. |
| BIRDLAY | Bird Flail | A slow melee choice with an area attack. |
| BLINGE | Ring of Fire | A throwing-slot spell for bouncing fire projectiles. |
| DUNGEONCHILL | Chill Amulet | An accessory that improves several combat stats. |
| VERHO | Thief’s Mask | Raises luck and speeds the return of thrown weapons. |
Across the complete source lists, no code appears in only one of the two and no reward conflict was found; SHIBARI is abbreviated in one list but names the same three items.
The other 27 codes
The remaining entries, listed the same way in both guides. The developer’s patch 1.01.03 notes fixed issues with “hempie SVT” and “b33 punch”, which matches the HEMPIE and THEB33WITHKNEES rewards below.

No code is guaranteed to work in every version.
Another page says codes do not exist; it may be discussing promotional codes rather than these in-game inscriptions. The disagreement has not been resolved by playtesting.
Ink and choosing rewards
Reveal reported refills and reward effects
The code guide and a community guide report three initial charges and one after each major boss. Both place a refill behind a hidden wall in the Record of Sin. The item guide also reports gradual recovery at that pot and says enemy kills and boss victories may replenish ink, without confirming exact amounts. These guides may share material; neither the refill interval nor every eligible enemy has been independently verified.
A community guide describes a number of reward choices: the Chill Amulet boosts several stats; Thief’s Mask adds luck and speeds the return of throwing weapons; Ring of Fire uses the throwing slot for a fire projectile. Its account says the three Asanawa challenge items restrict weapon bond, experience gain or food effects respectively. Inspect an item before committing to it: these are community-reported effects for an unspecified build.
Both the item guide and the code guide present 33 reported code and reward pairs. Their 33 listed mappings agree; they may share sources and neither establishes a complete set of all possible codes. A community guide supplies additional item descriptions, but we have not verified every effect independently.
What if I mistype a code or run out of ink?
Whether an incorrect inscription spends a charge is not established by these sources. Check the spelling before submitting, especially zero in B0BARLEY. The reported boss and late-game refill routes above may provide more ink, but their behavior and timing are not independently tested.
Can I miss the Grimoire permanently?
The cited guides do not establish a permanent miss condition. They place it at the starting beach; whether every later state permits a return is unconfirmed.
Witchcraft achievement
The official Steam achievement connects Witchcraft to writing in the Grimoire. Its description does not establish the book’s location, the code list or an ink refill method.
Questions
Are these all the codes?
No. These are sourced examples, not a complete or independently verified list.
Is the Grimoire the Necronomicon?
The available sources do not establish that they are the same item. See the separate Necronomicon guide.
