4. Cauldron Dungeon: When you reach the crank that restores the fire at the end of the dungeon, break the crates beyond the crank to find a hidden page.
5. Drenchfort Dungeon: When you first reach the main room of Drenchfort, head around to the back of the statue and look a break in the small wall where you can drop down. You should be able to land on a platform where the next page awaits.
