Lore
Need notes directly relating to the alchemist from other secrets in-game

Sewers network
In the Sewers and the Ancient Sewers, the Alchemist was collecting mold and mushroom samples for his experiments. However, the increase in the numbers of revenants made his work increasingly difficult.
 * It is becoming increasingly difficult to collect mold samples in these sewers. There are too many revenants.

Promenade of the Condamned
In the Promenade of the Condemned, All species found in these areas seem changed. Was it the insects that spread the Malaise all over the island?
 * The character mentions that the Alchemist was very thorough upon inspecting the insects next to this grimoire.

Ossuary
The Alchemist was applying a substance found in the Sanctuary on bones from corpses, likely executed prisoners. The substance's effects were unpredictable and the Alchemist reflects whether his experiments are worth killing so many people.
 * The sanctuary substance produces unpredictable results on the bones I've collected here. All these bodies... All these lives. At the end of the day perhaps The King is right?
 * About the bodies next to the grimoire, the Beheaded mentions it's Hard to say whether these bodies were infected. But one thing is for sure their skin melted like old cheese in the sun.

Slumbering Sanctuary
The Sanctuary seems to have been especially important to the Alchemist's research. It's the only (?) biome that contains two different Grimoires.

The Alchemist writes that people believe the sap flowing through the walls of the Sanctuary is responsible for the Malaise, by contaminating the sewer network. He also suggests that this same substance could be the solution to the epidemic. it is unclear if the substance is in fact the source of the Malaise or if it's only a rumor. What is sure is that the Alchemist harvested and used this substance as part of a treatment for the infection, as indicated by the Grimoires of the Ossuary and the Clock Tower. In another Grimoire, the Alchemist references the Time Keeper's efforts to combat the Malaise. He implies that she is manipulating time to contain the Malaise, but that her spell cannot contain it forever.
 * Some say the sap that runs through the walls is flowing into the sewer network and causing the Malaise. But perhaps the problem can also be the solution?
 * "Time is running out.... literally. With all due respect, she cannot contain the Malaise forever "

Clock Tower
In the Clock Tower, a grimoire reports that the Alchemist found a formulation that slows the down the mutagenic effects of the Malaise.
 * "The bodies immersed in the latest solution are changing less quickly. I must extract the essence of this solution and apply it to other volunteers"
