Elden Ring - Your Mage Build NEEDS this Weapon Early – Lazuli Glintstone Sword Location Guide!

now i've already shown you where to get the best staff and spell early game but next we need to find the best weapon for our offhand to use with our pure mage bill and by far the best sword for the mages build that you can also obtain early on at the start of the game is the lazuli glint stone saw in fact it's a sword that technically is also a star you can skip ahead to the time stamps for the exact location of the sword itself but why should you bother getting this sword what's so good about it well compared to any other sword that scales with intelligence it has the lowest requirements to wield so you only need a strength of 8 a dexterity of 9 and an intelligence of 13 meaning the astrologer class can use it effectively at the start of the game and a pure mage build can use it without having to waste any points into strength or dexterity like the other magical weapons making the lazuli glimstone sword one of the best close combat weapon choices for a pure mage build throughout the game not just at the start even with its low attribute requirements the last year-like glimstone sword still boasts one of the highest base damages of 79 physical damage and 94 magic damage for a total base damage of 174 plus a descaling in intelligence strength and e in dexterity the only other weapon that comes close is the carrion knight sword which requires an additional point in strength to wield however once you start to upgrade both of these weapons you'll see that the lazuli glindstone sword has a much higher increase in magical damage than the carry-on knight sword but the real reason this sword is so great is its move set and skill ability firstly when wielded in the right hand you can use the special skill which fires a glintstone pebble from the sword itself without actually taking up any room in your memorized spell slots the sword also has a secret attack though if you fire a glintstone pebble and then you use the power attack you'll do a huge lunge forward and skewer the enemy on your blade the charge range is absolutely massive and the combination of both these attacks will often stagger your opponent so you can follow up with a guard break critical it's also very easy to spam repeatedly i should however note that the glintstone pebble spell casted from the sword has a shorter range than when you cast it from the start as you can see in this comparison the range difference is quite considerable you also cannot charge up the pebble spell using the sword either meaning it does less damage than the staff version the staff can also cast the pebble spell quicker too that said you can always bring both if you have the memory slots to spare you can also use the secret thrust attack even if you have no mana so long as you attempt to cast the glintstone pebble with the sword first the animation doesn't take any longer to perform than if you had mana if you also read the sword's law description it tells you that it was wielded by scholars of the lazarullah conspectus who seek to master carrion sorcery apparently the sword was once used as a staff of sorcery which is why the sword is made of wood so from the first step bonfire i'm basically going to be showing you how to get all the way to the north west of the map to the carrier mana gate which is the best location to farm this sword we're going to be going there step by step but if you already know how to get there just go ahead and skip ahead using the time stamps in the video description after doing this tutorial you'll start the game here at the first step resting site from there you're going to want to go northwards to the church where you meet the merchant and then you carry on going north and you eventually come to these ruins called gate front ruins and just over here is where we're going to start at the gates front castle gates from the gate front ruins you're going to want to come west down this pathway just here all the way to the north and you'll find another resting spot just here so we're going to put a waypoint there and then just to the north of that you're going to come underneath this huge bridge i'll put another waypoint just there and then continuing on from that bridge you're going to find a broken bridge which is going to be like a dead end so now let's go ahead and ride that first section through the gatehouse here you're gonna want to just ride your horse into stormgate and sort of dodge to the left and right and watch out for a monster that drops down a giant from above and then we're just going to continue riding onwards it's a pretty easy area just to run through so i wouldn't really worry about this at all now when you reach storm hill you will get attacked by some wolves that jump down from the cliff edge so run slightly to the right there and they won't hit you then just over here you'll find that resting spot just where the waypoint i placed was and now from that resting spot we're just going to carry on heading north underneath that giant bridge that i showed you on the map and we've already got our waypoint number two located just over there so we're gonna continue off the stone path onto this dirt track here under the bridge and just carry on going pretty easy to be honest a lot of people seem to think that this is a higher level area and you can't go here earlier but you can go anywhere you like in eldon ring it's an open world game so we're going to continue on to the end of this stone bridge here which has fallen away you cannot go any further salute this tarnish for the nomadic warriors cookbook 7. and now as you can see we're at this broken bridge what we need to do now is we need to put another marker directly to the left here and then to the north we're going to follow this wall that we can't actually see around put another marker there and then just to the left here you can see this part of the wall there's a little circle just to the north of that put another waypoint that's just like a rough guide of where we need to go next so from this broken bridge that we're on we're going to come down here because we can't get across any other way and we're just going to climb up this sort of rocky terrain here and it's actually going to lead us on a pathway it's just like a straight path where it might look a little bit confusing to follow but it is literally just a straight pathway and just head all the way along you'll come across a couple of low-level wolves that are not going to be a match for you battle brother you can just run past them though if you are afraid and i will not begrudge you if you are and if you guys enjoy these step-by-step walkthroughs on where to get all the armor sets spells and weapons do drop a like on the video and subscribe for more content like it keep following around following the cliff edge all the way and eventually you'll get to the lakes and you can see right where i placed that third waypoint this is where the area of grace is so now we're just here on the map at the lake facing cliffs resting point now if you look to the north west of this location into the sort of brown uncovered area you can see that there's actually a location where you can find the map marker for this area so that's where we're going to go next make sure you put a waypoint there obviously so from this resting spot we're going to come behind us there's a little path here we're going to follow this path all the way down here um and yeah we don't actually need to kill anything so we just sort of carry on riding and we ride all the way down this path that goes through the valley here and then you come out onto this open plane you'll see there's sort of a bandit camp up ahead now you can ride directly through it if you want or you can just ride around it really doesn't matter there we go you've rode around it and you can see right ahead here there's actually another resting spot of grace and i recommend picking it up before going into this next area so go ahead and activate this one and now we're just going to continue heading to our waypoint which is in the waters just over here there's a few enemies in the water so don't hang around that is the stone tablet that has the map fragment on it let's pick up the map fragment just there and then we're going to continue riding just carry on riding all the way up ahead here and you'll see there's another resting spot of grace just over here so that's the one we're going to activate it doesn't matter if we die because we can just walk back here now we've unlocked this map area you can see we're now at this laskyar ruins resting spot so from this location sort of going northwards you can see there's like a path up here where a bridge sort of directs into the fog we're going to carry on going this direction with this and we're going to put a map marker over there so it kind of lines up with this bridge here so from this resting point you can see the waypoint all the way over there in the distance where that castle is so we're literally just going to sort of head through the ruins now over towards that just carry on sprinting on horseback here ignore everything then we're going to head north towards the waypoint now through this flooded woodlands you can see when you get to this rocky outcrop that there's another site of grace here so we're going to go ahead and unlock this one before we go on but you shouldn't miss it because it's just a giant rocky outcrop a reference we are now just over here on the map but we're still heading over to our marker let's ride down from the site of grace so we're back on track and then just carry on heading towards the marker and as you can see we're now going to come across a house with another site of grace which we can rest at so it really doesn't matter if you die because there's just so many resting spots and you're going to need to come back here later so you might as well activate them now now we just carry on heading towards our waypoint in the distance there and you should come across another side of grace on top of this ruin don't worry by the way have you missed these they really don't matter it's just kind of useful to grab them while you see them but just for reference we're here on the map and you can now see that just over here there's another map marker location so if you'd like you can go and pick that up for the sake of this video i'm going to quickly go and grab it because there's also a resting spot nearby though you can see it's literally directly east from that last resting point we unlocked and by the way guys if you are finding these videos helpful the sort of slow methodical walkthroughs of eldon ring did make sure you subscribe because most of my guides are like this and we're going to be going through how to get every single weapon and build strong characters for each class in the game and now you can see in the distance by this old church here make sure you trigger the resting point and then obviously the map fragment is just over here next to this stone pillar and now we've unlocked the area of the map so we're just here where we found that map fragment so now we're going to retrace our steps all the way back along the water here all the way down here through the woodlands to the south of this castle we're going to put one waypoint just there and then we're going to head directly north and then we're going to put another waypoint in line with this sort of island just here on the map so just around here and by the time we get there we'll be able to unlock the next map area so we're gonna head to waypoint one to start off with don't get distracted by waypoint 2 yet you can see the castle in the distance there it's a very poetic sort of area very beautiful indeed you want to stay on the water though don't worry about going into the castle yet we can visit hogwarts later don't you worry i'll make a wizard of you yet if you didn't actually know i am british so i can cast spells in real life i doubt anyone's even watching this part of the video anyway but that's some deep law there of eso danny the youtuber please do keep it a secret so you can see there's another resting spot of grace just here which i'm going to go ahead and activate for future reference but you can see this is where hogwarts is and just to the south of it is this sort of tree area and the temple quarter resting spot is just here but now from here we want to head directly north to our second waypoint that we already marked on the map here at this point we're just sort of heading through the trees and keep an eye on your waypoint map marker since that is going to be your point of reference when you're going over here now this part of the video seems like an excellent time to plug displace the metal artwork that you can hang on your wall using magnets they've got some awesome dark souls artwork on their website that you can get from the link down below in the description i literally have half of my office covered in them they're awesome company and if you use that affiliate link you also support the channel but i actually love these products i use them myself otherwise i wouldn't recommend them to you but even if you think they suck check out the souls artwork they have on there it's awesome and you can see now the land has stopped being a cliff face and it's flattened out over here so once we're on the land and we're nice and safe we're going to open the map again and you can see that we've uncovered this area of fog to the north here so we're going to put another waypoint just over here because that's where the map fragment is at this glowing gravestone so for reference it is just over here on the map but now let's head over grab this waypoint on the way you can see the stone tablet in the distance there that's where the actual map is so here we are this is the map location let's go ahead pick up the fragment and as you can see now we've unlocked this entire northern section of the map you can see i'm standing just here where we unlocked that map fragment and just to the north of us it's kind of like this old ruin put another map waypoint just there and then put another one at the entrance to this ancient manor which is where we're going to be getting this unique sword we can head northward still through this old ring of king's realm ruin and this is also where we unlock the large blacksmith so just head straight to the north through this ruin and then hit this wall like so and it's actually invisible as you can see and then we can activate this resting spot of grace here just ignore the enemies because they'll despawn if you rest here and once arrested you can see this is the great giant who will improve all of your weapons using somber smithing stones you can actually get an unlimited amount from him later in the game but that's for another video go ahead and talk to him if you want so now make sure you rest at this spot because from here we're going to want to head to the lim grave manor so we're gonna go directly north east and you'll see we get attacked by these sort of spells so what you need to do is you'll see them coming towards you in like a shower and you need to dodge to the right or left like that you see that one hit me they don't do a lot of damage my character's still like level 10 pretty much just started the game so just dodge left and right when you see them so they don't hit you it looks terrifying but i mean honestly it's really easy to do this and here we are at the resting spot so we've done it this is the hard part over now we just need to run into the entrance here to actually get the sword so just to reference we are now on the very north east of the map just over here at the main cara manor gate as you can see on the map so now from this main entrance to the um the castle we are going to run through you'll see a lot of creepy hands spider-like creatures just ignore them we're gonna run past them like this and pretend that they don't exist and that we haven't seen that because it's the stuff of nightmares we're gonna run straight north through this sort of gate area and then we're going to start going up these stairs here aha outsmarted just carry on going up the ramparts all the way up ignore the things dropping around you trust me you don't want to look back you definitely do not want to look back and which can carry on running all the way up these stairs here to the left and then we're gonna come into this building those are aoe damage by the way so they don't actually hurt you uh and then just come upstairs and just up here you'll find another resting spot it's so like it's so easy like a lot of people are scared because it's like an end game area but you can come here super early and just run through everything you know it's not a problem you don't need to kill everything okay so now this area is a bit harder so you might want to rest here just to heal up so now once you have rested we're going to come out of this ruin and have another look on the map here we've basically just got to run all the way along this to the end to put a waypoint there and then we've got to go north to this area so put those two waypoints on the map and now we're just gonna go ahead and run outside now a lot of spirits are gonna get summoned here guardians of the gate i'm just gonna run past them because that's basically how you play elden ring you just run past there's a problem run past it's not a problem anymore just run all the way to the end here obviously watch out for this crossbow wielder it takes ages to reload and just roll as soon as you hear the sound effect and then you don't have anything to worry about i'm just going to head left and up these stairs here and there you go you've made it well done battle brother now take the elevator and you will now witness glory the queen will be there to greet you uh it's gonna be great and here we are another resting spot of grace so now we can begin our farming method so from the resting spot head downstairs and run behind this wolf he doesn't aggro you unless you sprint directly behind him go up the stairs across the courtyard to the left and you'll have three sorcerers that spawn here and all have a chance of dropping the lazaruly sword i'm using the rock fling spell to aggro and kill them one at a time if you follow my early game mage guide link down below in the description you can also get that spell along with an s-scaling staff at level 1 then you'll make very short work of the sorcerers so long as you stand behind this broken missing tile the giant won't actually aggro you and you can just range kill all the enemies after you've killed them to reset the spawn point just teleport back to the resting place and everything will reset now i spent 20 minutes farming this location before the sword actually dropped but you can do the runs very quickly here and you can also use the golden or silver pickled foul foot in order to increase your drop chance but i didn't bother and it did eventually drop and then you can just go and pick it up if you want a guide on how to get all of the somber stones to upgrade it at the blacksmith that i showed you earlier in the video there's a guide on that link down below in the description and also guys if you have found this video helpful so far please do drop a like on it it massively helps me out they take such a long time to make but just a few seconds of your time to give back is all i ask in return so now we've finished taking out the mages we can go ahead and loot what is the lazuli glintstone sword for ourselves now just to note there is another location that you can farm this weapon located here on the map at raya academy i haven't unlocked the resting spot on this character but you'll find one sorcerer who also drops the sword and spawns pretty much right next to that resting spot however overall after timing and comparing both of these methods i found this location to be slightly slower check out some of the other awesome spells major equipment and armor you can get below in the description and i will see you guys in the next video
