Studies of the Arcane: Time Warp (3 Entries)
This set of three Lore Entries is the only one in the game that is split up between areas. Completing it is a requirement for Knolan's Ultimate Burst Attack and you'll need to explore a pair of dungeons to find it all. You'll require the following Lore entries to complete the set:
Time Warp: Manipulation of the Flow of TIme [1] - (Given by Murcuri at the Enchanters Tower in Harm's Way).
Time Warp: The Ultimate Magic [2] - This can be found in the Dungeon: Deadwatch.
Time Warp: The Revelation [3] - This can be found in the Dungeon: Strongmont
Reward/s for completing the set: 1x Bundle of Lore Pages. This can be exchanged in Harm's Way for Knolan's Ultimate Burst Attack.
Tracking lore
You can see which entries you are missing in the Lore page in the menu. However you have to pick up any one entry of a set for it to show up.
Once you've picked up the surveyor in a dungeon (the ball that runs away from you), you can tell if there are any lore entries left in the dungeon by opening the map (). Rooms with a scroll icon contain lore.
Dungeon lore
Lore entries in dungeons are randomized, meaning every lore entry doesn't necessarily spawn in a dungeon every time, so you'll probably need several runs through a dungeon to collect them all.
There's a rumor that some lore entries only spawn on Legendary difficulty, so you might want to try that if you are missing any.
Overworld lore
Apart from the dungeons, there are several exploration areas that contain lore as well. These areas always contain all entries, only the dungeons are randomized.
For the full list of lore entries and locations, see the other solution.
NG+
Lore carries over into NG+ so you can leave a potential grind through dungeons until after completing the NG+ playthrough. When you're overleveled for an area you one-shot everything just like in regular difficulty, except for in the very last area, so grinding dungeons won't be much different in NG+.
Be aware though that NG+ is generally harder, and once you start you can't go back to regular difficulty.
Pages for the Lore Books are scattered across all the dungeons and various places across the world as well. For the ones in the world, they are always in the same places, but the ones in the dungeons are randomly placed and could require multiple playthroughs to find all the ones in them. Here is a listing of all the different lores and where you can find them:
World
- Doomed Voyage (4) All are found at the Derelict Ship
- An Endless Maze (4) All are found at The Winding
- Studies Of The Arcane: Time Warp (3) See how to get Knolan's level 3 burst for locations

Once you have all of the Lores, the trophy will pop.
The Lore Book is filled by collecting lore entries from the dungeons and exploration areas. These can show up as books, scrolls, etc. Inside every dungeon you will find a floating eye called a Surveyor, and collecting this will fill in the dungeon map with icons to show what each room contains. If there is a lore entry you have not read, it will show up as a sheet of paper. This doesn't necessarily mean it is a new entry, just that you haven't read it yet on that run.
Since the dungeons are randomly generated, there is no guarantee every lore entry will be available on your first run of a dungeon. Finish collecting them when you replay the dungeons on Legendary. You may even have to run them a few more times after that if you're unlucky, but probably not. All of the lore entries are listed below, with only the ones marked "World" being outside of the game's eight dungeons. The rest are just RNG inside the dungeons, so I've just listed the names of the lore chains so you can be sure you got them all.
- World: Doomed Voyage - All found in the Derelict Ship.
- World: An Endless Maze - All found in the Winding Way.
- World: Stories of Arcane: Time Warp - For Knolan's ultimate weapon, see "All out of bubblegum..."
- World: Armaments of Legends - All found in the Pale Cathedral.
