Master the Academy of Raya Lucaria in Elden Ring Nightreign. Navigate sorcerers, defeat the Redwolf of Radagon and Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon, and claim your rewards.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Main Academy Gate: Be prepared for fast-shooting sorcerers. Use ranged attacks, sneak attacks, or a shield. Watch out for Marionette Soldiers. Make your way to the Church of the Cuckoo Site of Grace.
  2. 2
    Church of the Cuckoo: Avoid zombie-like enemies that steal focus points. Quickly cross the bridge, pass through the graveyard and wild dogs. Ride the rotating platforms up to reach the Schoolhouse Classroom Site of Grace.
  3. 3
    Schoolhouse Classroom: Fight numerous sorcerers and an evil giant jar enemy. Magic resistance is recommended; consider using Spellproof Dried Liver or better armor. Continue through the hallway and up the stairs to the boss fog door.
  4. 4
    Redwolf of Radagon (BOSS): This boss is manageable. Use a strong weapon and its skill (e.g., Grafted Dragon's Bear Witness) to deal continuous damage. Heal with Flask of Crimson Tears as needed. Defeating it yields 12,000 runes and a Memory Stone.
  5. 5
    Debate Parlor: To access the staircase, jump onto a connecting cylinder below and then onto the staircase itself. Dodge the large crushing ball. Prepare to fight a Carian Knight, who can be challenging; summoning is an option. Defeating the Carian Knight rewards the Carian Knight Shield, more runes, and access to the next boss.
  6. 6
    Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon (BOSS):
    1. Phase 1: Hit glowing students to make Rennala descend. Attack her once her ball breaks, but be wary of her explosion. Avoid falling chandeliers, flying globes, and thrown books.
  7. 7
    Phase 2: Rennala uses powerful sorceries. She can be stun-locked or stunned to interrupt attacks. Be aggressive but continue to dodge, especially the Glintstone Stars. Ice Ball and the fast-casting beam are dangerous. She will summon enemies and combine attacks. Stick close, maintain aggression, and utilize stun-locking.
  • Rewards: Upon defeating Rennala, you receive the Rite of Rebirth, allowing stat reallocation using Larval Tears. You also obtain Rennala's Great Rune.
  • Post-Boss: Return to Roundtable Hold and speak with Enia to purchase the Champion Armor Set. Rennala's staff can also be purchased but requires 60 Intelligence to use.
    • Tips
    • Magic Resistance can be beneficial in the Schoolhouse Classroom.
    • Aggression and stun-locking are key strategies against Rennala in Phase 2.
    • Be mindful of one-shot potential from certain attacks, like Rennala's beam.
    • Memory Stone (from Redwolf of Radagon)
    • 12,000 Runes (from Redwolf of Radagon)
    • Carian Knight Shield (from Carian Knight)
    • Rite of Rebirth (from Rennala)
    • Rennala's Great Rune (from Rennala)
    • Champion Armor Set (purchasable after defeating Rennala)
