Elden Ring: How To Get The Prince Of Death’s Staff

The Prince of Death’s Staff is a hybrid Glintstone Staff in Elden Ring, scaling to Faith and Intelligence. True to its name, the staff boosts the power of Death Sorceries, such as Fia’s Mist and Ancient Death Rancor. While it may not be as initially powerful as Lusat’s Glintstone Staff, the Prince of Death’s Staff can potentially outscale the majority of magical staffs as long as its wielder allocates enough stat points in Elden Ring into both Int and Faith.

The location of the Prince of Death’s Staff is the spire of a tower within the ruins of The Nameless Eternal City. To reach this area, Tarnished adventurers must gain access to the Deeproot Depths, an underground region beneath the Royal Capital of Leyndell. Deeproot Depths can be entered via two methods. The protagonist can ride a transport coffin in Siofra Aqueduct, or they can take a hidden passage within the Cathedral of the Forsaken of the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds. Both methods require the player to defeat a challenging boss to proceed.

Those who go the Siofra Aqueduct route must first be able to enter Nokron, Eternal City, a sub-region of Siofra River that is unlocked once Tarnished adventurers have defeated General Radahn in Caelid. A giant crater will appear in southern Mistwood of Limgrave, allowing the player to delve into its depths and reach Nokron. Siofra Aqueduct is accessed by traversing to the far northern end of Nokron and taking a semi-hidden pathway through a small ruin, leading to the Valiant Gargoyle Duo. Once they have been defeated, Tarnished can rest in a nearby coffin to be transported to the Deeproot Depths.

Prince Of Death’s Staff Location In Elden Ring

After arriving in the Deeproot Depths, head west from the initial Site of Grace and cross the giant gap by walking atop two large connected branches. Tarnished adventurers will encounter several giant flying ants ahead, similar to the flightless ones they can find in Nokstella. To avoid confrontation, stick to the right side to pass by these insects unnoticed.

Continue to stay near the ride border and weave through the winding root-covered path. Soon, the player will arrive in The Nameless Eternal City, where the Deeproot Depths Map Fragment is located. Travel northwest past the map’s gazebo and turn left. Jump on top of the rooftops of sunken buildings to reach the overhead branch above. Follow the winding trail to enter the tower on the left and loot the corpse to obtain the Prince of Death’s Staff in Elden Ring.

Elden Ring is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.
