Cookbooks make a return inElden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, giving players the means to craft brand-new items exclusive to the DLC. Finding these Cookbooks requires thorough exploration, as they’re often hidden very well.
The Antiquity Scholar’s Cookbooks [1] and [2] can be found in theAncient Ruins of Rauh, unlocking two new recipes. Here is where to find them.
Antiquity Scholar’s Cookbook [1] Location
The Antiquity Scholar’s Cookbook [1] can be foundat the base of the Ancient Ruins of Rauh, near the Temple Town Ruins. From the Ancient Ruins Base Site of Grace, travel southward on Torrent, avoiding the two Golems along the way, until you reach theRauh Ruins Map Fragment Steleand the sealed spiritspring that leads to the Northern Nameless Mausoleum. Follow the river north, with the Temple Town Ruins to your left, until you reach the Temple Town Ruins Site of Grace. Continue northward, and you’ll encounterKindred of Rot enemies (shrimps). Ignore them and head east to find a small cavern with a single Shadow enemy inside. Defeat the enemy to pick up theAntiquity Scholar’s Cookbook [1]from its corpse.

Rauh Burrow is a fairly common material in the Ancient Ruins.
Antiquity Scholar’s Cookbook [2] Location
Antiquity Scholar’s Cookbook [2] can be foundbehind a hidden wall in the Ancient Ruins of Rauh. To get to this location, start from the Viaduct Minor Site of Grace. Exit the main gate and turn right. There is a fork in the path here. Straight ahead is a gnarled tree trunk bent over the path, and to its right is a grassy area you can ride into. Turn right and hug the left cliff wall to avoid fighting the Runebear in the area. Continue forward on the narrow path, and you’ll reach a hole in the ground with a large statue you can jump onto using Torrent. Drop down, and you’ll be able to pick up theAntiquity Scholar’s Cookbook [2]and aBondstone. Attack the wall in front of the statue and it will disappear, revealing a path back to the ruins.
