Is the Academy optional Elden Ring?

The Academy of Raya Lucaria is an essential location for completing Elden Ring. Here are some important things to note when exploring the area. In the world of Elden Ring, Raya Lucaria Academy used to be an esteemed institute that teaches sorcery before the falling of Queen Rennala. Now, it’s a Legacy Dungeon full of various enemies, traps, important items, and two bosses. To reach the Raya Lucaria Academy in Elden Ring, players need to get the Academy Glintstone Key, located north of the Temple Quarter Site of Lost Grace in Liurnia of the Lakes.

The key can be found on one of the three corpses guarded by Glintstone Dragon Smarage. Keep in mind that although the location contains two bosses; the Red Wolf of Radagon and the Shardbearer Rennala Queen of the Full Moon, it’s still considered an optional area. Updated on July 20, 2022, by Nahda Nabiilah: Raya Lucaria Academy is one of the most important Legacy Dungeons in Elden Ring,

Unfortunately, some players may consider skipping the area as completing it is not necessary to beat the game, while forgetting that it’s full of crucial items like powerful weapons, decent Sorceries, and fashionable Armor sets. Additionally, beating the Sharbearer, Rennala Queen of the Full Moon grants Tarnished the ability to change the characters’ appearance or to respec in exchange for one Larval Tear per rebirth.

Fortunately, we’re here to help you find a second Glintstone Key so that you can complete the Thops questline.

Where is the second key in the academy Elden Ring?

Elden Ring second Glintstone Key location – After you defeat Radagon, the first boss in the Raya Lucaria Academy, you’ll eventually find yourself in the Church of the Cuckoo. There’s a corpse hanging from one of the chandeliers, and if you clamber along the rooftops in the courtyard, you can make your way to the church’s upper levels and grab the second Glintstone Key in Elden Ring.

Now head back to the Church of Irith near where you first entered Liurnia, and give the key to Thops so he can get back to the Academy. It won’t be a happy reunion for him, though. You’ll find his dead body near the Schoolhouse Classroom Site of Grace the next time you’re there. It’s tragic, but you can loot his body to obtain the Academy Glintstone Staff, a guarding spell, and a Bell Bearing you can give to the Maiden Husks in Roundtable Hold.

The staff is the good loot here. The Bell Bearing just unlocks Thops’ spells for sale with the Husks, which are low-level and not really worth it at this point. The staff scales with Strength and Intelligence, and it also requires a hefty 28 Intelligence to wield.

How do you get the glintstone key in Raya Lucaria?

Elden Ring Glintstone Key location – If you head to the Raya Lucaria Academy south gates, you can find a Meeting Place Map next to the seal, which gives us a clue of where to find the Glintstone Key. Whether you grab that first or not, you can find the Glintstone Key location behind the Glintstone Dragon Smarag just west of the Academy, If you have explored the region a little, this is just north of the Temple Quarter Site of Grace. Approaching from the south, the dragon will be sleeping in an alcove that blocks the way to the items. However, if you sneak and flank from either side, it’s possible to squeeze past and reach them. The dragon might still wake, but you will have more than enough time to grab the Glintstone Key before a boss battle initiates – it’s resting on the corpse at the very back. If you can, there are other items here – Kikri blades and Dragonwould Grease – otherwise it’s time to hop on Torrent and make a quick getaway.
