" Most aspects of this quest are optional - if the Grimoire is located by chance prior to meeting Steffen for the first time, the quest can be completed during the first conversation with Steffen. "

I have a problem with this statement. I didn't meet Steffen yet, I was searching for Salomet's Grimoire...and the chest simply wasn't there! Like at all. I didn't fight anyone at the bandit's camp and I am playing offline so, it wasn't gifted to me either. Could it be that something triggers this chest's appearance? Like bandits mauling Rowland on a road to Mountain Waycastle?
