All Weapons in the Academy of Raya Lucaria

Discover the locations of powerful weapons like the Academy Glintstone Staff, Azur's Glintstone Staff, and Full Moon Crossbow within the Academy of Raya Lucaria in Elden Ring.

Alright, Tarnished! So you're braving the Academy of Raya Lucaria and wondering what kind of goodies you can snag? This place is packed with some seriously cool magical gear. Let's break down where to find the key weapons hidden within its hallowed (and dangerous) halls.

Academy Glintstone Staff

This one's tied to Sorcerer Thops. You'll find his body in the Schoolhouse Classroom. The catch? You need to have given him the Academy Glintstone Key first as part of his questline. Once you've done that, head back to the Schoolhouse Classroom Site of Grace. Go outside, hang a right, and you'll see his corpse slumped in a chair, staff still in hand. It's a bit of a somber find, but a useful staff nonetheless.

Azur’s Glintstone Staff

For Azur's Glintstone Staff, make your way to the Church of the Cuckoo Site of Grace. From there, look for a shortcut ladder that takes you up to the upper levels. Be warned, though – the Lucarian Sorcerers up there are no joke! Push east, through the archway, and take out the soldier guarding the entrance to the runway. Just beyond a crystal formation, you'll find Azur's Glintstone Staff. This staff is a big deal because it speeds up your sorcery casting, but be ready to burn through more FP.

Full Moon Crossbow

This is probably the most involved one. Start at the Debate Parlor Site of Grace. Head north out into the courtyard, then duck into the open door on the northwest side, up the stairs where a sorcerer is waiting. Follow the balcony south, then hop onto the rooftops. Keep heading south along the rooftops until you find a ladder to climb. Now, run west towards the bell tower and drop down onto more rooftops to the north. Turn west again, jump across a pretty big gap to another roof, then head south. Keep going until you reach the end, turn east, and follow that rooftop to a stone archway. Carefully go inside, deal with the enemies hanging from the walls, and climb a super long ladder. At the top, you'll find a chest containing the Full Moon Crossbow. This magical crossbow requires 14 Intelligence to wield, so make sure you meet the stat requirement!
