The Glintstone Kris is a Dagger in Elden Ring. It is picked up mid-game, in the Academy of Raya Lucaria.

The Glintstone Kris is a ritual blade presented to Leyndell by the Academy of Raya Lucaria to celebrate their peace, set with glintstones and Erdtree ornamentation. It is a reward for siding with Sorceress Sellen against Castellan Jerren near the end of her questline. It handles like a light dagger with thrusting heavy attacks, and deals magic damage alongside physical. Its unique skill, Glintstone Dart, fires a chargeable magic projectile stronger than Glintstone Pebble and can follow up with a long lunging thrust. It suits a Dexterity and Intelligence spellblade, gaining the most attack power from an even split of the two.

Skill

Glintstone Dart costs 10 / 4 FP. The wielder imbues the dagger with glintstone and fires a magic projectile, and charging the skill upgrades it into a faster, stronger Glintstone Dart. The uncharged shot pierces through enemies. A strong attack follow-up chains into a long lunging thrust for a little more FP, and the Spellblade set boosts the magic damage. No other weapon carries this skill, and it cannot be replaced.

"Skill that builds from the Glintstone Pebble sorcery. Charge the skill to upgrade it to Glintstone Dart. Follow up with a strong attack to chain this skill into a lunging thrust."

Build

Poke from range with Glintstone Dart, charging it for more damage, and use the lunging follow-up when an enemy closes in.

Stats	Dexterity 50, Intelligence 50, Vigor 50 to 60, Mind 25 to 30, Endurance 25 (Strength 10)
Affinity	Cannot be infused; it keeps its own scaling.
Talismans	Magic Scorpion Charm, Ritual Sword Talisman, Godfrey Icon, Shard of Alexander
Pairs With	Carian Knight's Shield

Notes

"Ritual blade once presented to Leyndell by the Academy of Raya Lucaria to celebrate their newfound peace. Though the weapon is embedded with precious glintstones and features Erdtree ornamentation, the undulating blade is symbolic of an ancient ritual."
