Academy Crystal Cave

Academy Crystal Cave is just below Raya Lucaria Academy. The Academy Crystal Cave can only be accessed by using two Stonesword Keys. It is the dungeon that hosts the Crystalians boss fight, which is situated on the lower western part of Raya Lucaria Academy. This drab dungeon hosts many Glintstone Sorcerers that traverse its dreary, narrow paths. You can find an abundance of items and equipment in the dungeon including but not limited to are a Stonesword Key, Crystal Release Sorcery, Rune Arc, Terra Magicus Sorcery, and a Crystal Staff.

For the magic, the Crystal Release Sorcery can be obtained by defeating the boss here, whilst the Terra Magicus Sorcery can be found from a chest at the top of the academy tower which can be accessed by taking the elevator behind the boss.

You’ll need to use a Stonesword Key on the imp statue to access Academy Crystal Cave.

The Crystal Staff can be obtained by opening a chest which is concealed behind a fog wall guarded by a Glintstone Sorcerer just before the boss. To gain access to the area, you’ll need to attack an illusory rock wall on the left side of the tunnel near the stone archway.

Academy Gate Town

Academy Gate Town is a spacious area that you’ll pass through to get to the Academy proper. That doesn’t mean there isn’t any loot here, though! What once used to be a thriving town just south of the Raya Lucaria Academy is now nothing more than a cluster of ruins.
