The two Master Sorcerers that players can meet in Elden Ring are Master Lusat and Master Azur, both of whom glimpsed the Primeval Current. The Primeval Current is, essentially, the unknowable cosmic energies that Glintstone and Sorceries in Elden Ring are derived from. These masters attempted to understand it directly and were rendered motionless in Crystal form.

In addition to their armor sets, players can acquire each of the Master Sorcerer's staffs. Master Azur's Glintstone Staff is found deep in the Academy of Raya Lucaria, but be wary of the staff's downsides before committing to it for your build - there are alternative methods for reducing cast time that don't increase the FP cost of Sorceries, like the Radagon Icon and leveling Dexterity.

Azur's Glintstone Staff is one of two staffs in Elden Ring that come with a significant upside and downside: enhanced spells at the cost of more FP. While Lusat's Glintstone Staff increases Sorcery Power and FP cost, Azur's Glintstone Staff significantly reduces Cast Time for all Sorceries while also increasing their FP cost.

It has incredibly high stat requirements, especially for the level at which most players acquire it. By the time most players get Azur's Glintstone Staff they are underleveled for it, but the nearby fight with Rennala at Raya Lucaria unlocks respeccing, which can help meet these minimums. Azur's Glintstone Staff can be improved to +10 with Somber Smithing Stones.

How To Get Azur's Glintstone Staff

Azur's Glintstone Staff can be found in Raya Lucaria, but getting to it is a more complicated matter than looking off the side of the path. The Academy of Raya Lucaria is chock-full of secret passageways and hidden items - the area almost doubles in size when one considers the rooftops are explorable too.

To get to Azur's Glintstone Staff, start from the Red Wolf of Radagon boss room and head all the way to the courtyard where Moongrum, Carian Knight is fought. Instead of taking the elevator up, take the path left through the covered bridge. Open the shortcut door, then look over the railing.

You should see a stairway just below this shortcut door - jump down to it, defeat the sorcerer patrolling the stairs, then open another shortcut door at the bottom of the stairs. Turn around and head back up the stairs, turn left, and jump over the railing onto the rooftops. Continue through this area until you reach the roof of the Church of the Cuckoo (check the map to see your location).

Look for a broken window to enter the upper floors of the Church of the Cuckoo, and carefully drop down the wooden railings to reach a room full of sorcerers. Defeat these enemies and look for a stone bridge leading to a room with what appears to be a large mass of Raya Lucaria sorcerer heads. The purple item resting in the crystals at the bottom of this abomination, called a Graven School, is Azur's Glintstone Staff.

Elden Ring is available now for PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, and Xbox One and Series X|S.
