Azur’s Glintstone Staff is the best spell-casting Staff in the Elden Ring, which used to belong to a master sorcerer named Azur. This Staff reduces the time the spells take to be cast at the cost of increased FP. It is a must-have in PvP fights because you can cast spells faster and destroy the enemy before they can fight back.
This staff is well hidden and not easy to find. Read on to learn where you can find the Elden Ring Azur’s Glintstone Staff and what are its upgrade stats.
Azur’s Glintstone Staff Location
The Azur’s Glintstone Staff is located in the Church of Cuckoo inside the Academy of Raya Lucaria. To get there, you will have to use the Debate Parlour Site of Grace. From here, go to the Church by following the instructions given below.
In the Debate Parlour site of Grace, you must move out of the boss room where you fought the Red Wolf of Radagon. When out, turn left and move up the rubble and then up the stairs. At the end of the stairs, turn left and jump down from the railing to the bottom of another set of stairs.
Climb up the stairs again, and in the end, turn left. There will be a corpse on a railing. From that railing, jump down onto the roof and continue along the length of the roof until you find two puppet enemies.
Kill the enemies, then turn right. There will be a ladder that will go up. Climb up and then continue towards the clock tower while avoiding the enemies and the mage’s attacks. When you are near the Clocktower, move to the back using the ledge to the right.
In the back of the clock tower, jump down to the rooftop. From here (facing West), jump down to the rooftops turn left, and jump down two rooftops until you find a ledge down to the right of you.
Move along the ledge and then jump towards the Church of Cuckoo. On the Church, look for a broken window and climb into the Church.
Here, you will have to descend to the ground level using the planks and chandelier. From where you have entered the Church, you can find the Academy Glintstone Key flashing on a corpse.
When you are on the chandelier, jump to the eastern part of the Church and then move north. There will be a lot of mages here and due to the small space of the walkways, you cannot easily dodge their attacks. Make sure to unlock the shortcut ladder to the Church of Cuckoo site of grace while being there.
In the northeastern part of the Church, there will be an archway. The High Page guards this archway. After killing him and then moving on into the room, you can find the Azur’s Glintstone Staff on the ground next to the School of Graven Mages in Elden Ring.
The map image below shows the whole path that you are going to be taking here.
