The Staff of the Great Beyond is a Glintstone Staff in Elden Ring. It is part of the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion.

The Staff of the Great Beyond is fashioned from the tail-fingers of Metyr, the Mother of Fingers, with the microcosm raised over the crux they form; the Mother received signs from the Greater Will through it and kept waiting for another message after being abandoned. It is obtained by trading the Remembrance of the Mother of Fingers to Finger Reader Enia. It serves as a catalyst for both sorceries and incantations, so no switching between staff and seal is needed. Its scaling draws equally on Intelligence and Faith. It suits a full spellcaster who wants every spell in one hand.

Stats

The Staff of the Great Beyond is the only staff that casts incantations as well as sorceries, so a split Intelligence and Faith character can run both schools from one catalyst and keep the other hand free for a weapon or shield. At 2.5 weight it barely touches equip load, which suits a hybrid build that is already spreading its points across two casting stats.

How to Get Staff of the Great Beyond Guide

It is traded for the Remembrance of the Mother of Fingers with Finger Reader Enia at the Roundtable Hold. The remembrance drops from Metyr, Mother of Fingers beneath the Cathedral of Manus Metyr.

  1. Defeat Metyr, Mother of Fingers in the ruins beneath the Cathedral of Manus Metyr to obtain the Remembrance of the Mother of Fingers.
  2. Travel to the Roundtable Hold.
  3. Talk to Finger Reader Enia and choose to exchange remembrances.
  4. Select the Remembrance of the Mother of Fingers and choose the Staff of the Great Beyond.
  5. To take the other reward as well, first duplicate the remembrance at a Wandering Mausoleum.

Notes

"Staff fashioned from the tail-fingers of Metyr, the Mother of Fingers, and the microcosm raised aloft over the crux they form. Catalyst for casting both sorceries and incantations. The Mother received signs from the Greater Will from the beyond of the microcosm. Despite being broken and abandoned, she kept waiting for another message to come."
