116, 1253
The first 3 numbers are -1, 0, and 1. The next are computed by adding together the previous number, the number before that squared, and the number before that cubed.
So 1 + 0^2 + (-1)^3 = 1 + 0 + (-1) = 0 (fourth number)
...
25 + 8^2 + 3^3 = 25 + 64 + 27 = 116 (first missing number)
116 + 25^2 + 8^3 = 116 + 625 + 512 = 1,253 (second missing number)

My guess would be 76 & 229.
The pattern I see is: +1/+1/-1/+1/+1/+1/x3-1/x3+1....
If you look at it as starting at the -1 in the pattern(0) and assosiate that with x3-1 then the next two would be x3+1 & x3+1.
Not sure if it's right but it's the best I could think of. Good luck....

cant find too.this is quite weird since the first 7 figures follow the same pattern but then changes abruptly for the 8 figure.
