The Crystal Staff is a Glintstone Staff in Elden Ring. It shows up mid-run, in Liurnia of the Lakes.
The Crystal Staff is fashioned from pure crystal, a deed impossible for a human, and only those of intellect high enough to grasp the Crystalians' wisdom of stone may wield it. It lies in a chest behind an illusory wall in the Academy Crystal Cave in Liurnia of the Lakes, a cave sealed by two Stonesword Keys. It boosts Crystalian sorceries such as Crystal Release, Crystal Torrent and Shattering Crystal, and at full upgrade and 80 Intelligence its sorcery scaling nearly matches the Carian Regal Scepter. It suits an Intelligence caster built around crystal sorceries.
