How To Get To Grand Library Elden Ring

Hey there, fellow Tarnished! Ever stare longingly at that majestic Erdtree and think, "Man, I wanna hit the books!"? We're talking about the Grand Library in Elden Ring, naturally. It's home to Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon, and some seriously cool sorceries.

So, how DO you get to this legendary library? It's not exactly a casual stroll in the park. More like a series of epic battles, magical contraptions, and maybe a little bit of existential dread. Don’t worry, we'll make it fun.

Step 1: Conquer Raya Lucarian Academy

First things first: Raya Lucarian Academy. This is the key. You can't just waltz in. Trust me, I tried. Got turned into a human pretzel. Not fun.

The Academy sits smack-dab in the middle of Liurnia of the Lakes. Look for a massive, glowing fortress. Can’t miss it! Getting inside, though, is another story.

You'll need a special key: the Glintstone Key. It's guarded by a fearsome Glintstone Dragon Smarag. Don't panic! You don't have to fight her. Sneak around, grab the key from her hoard (it's behind her), and vamoose! Or, you know, be a hero and slay the dragon. Your call!

Once you have the key, use the seal to enter the Academy’s South Gate. Prepare to be amazed...and maybe a little terrified.

Step 2: Navigating the Magical Maze

The Academy is a puzzle. A magical, enemy-infested puzzle. Expect ambushes, hidden passages, and more Glintstone Sorcerers than you can shake a stick at.

Fight your way through the courtyard, dodging giant rolling balls of magic. Seriously, who designed this place? It’s pure chaos! Look for shortcuts and hidden pathways to ease the difficulty of navigating through the area.

Make your way through the Church of the Cuckoo. Watch out for the marionette soldiers! They're surprisingly agile for clockwork automatons. And they’re surprisingly annoying when you're trying to figure out the place.

Eventually, you’ll reach the Debate Parlor. Home to the Red Wolf of Radagon. This fiery canine packs a punch. Be prepared to dodge, weave, and maybe cry a little. No shame in that.

Step 3: Ascend the Academy

After defeating the Red Wolf, things get even weirder. You'll ascend the Academy through a series of precarious rooftops. It's like a FromSoftware version of parkour.

Careful not to fall! It's a long way down. And those pesky Glintstone Crow mages? They love to knock you off ledges. Jerks.

Keep climbing and fighting. You'll eventually reach the Raya Lucarian Grand Library. You made it!

Step 4: Face Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon

But wait! Your journey isn't over yet. You still have to fight Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon. She's a powerful sorceress with some seriously impressive abilities.

Her first phase involves creepy crawling children and Rennala floating inside an amber sphere. Hit the crawling children to weaken her shell and expose her to attack.

Once you defeat her initial form, prepare for her second phase. She transforms into a much more aggressive sorceress. Watch out for her powerful spells and summonings. Keep moving and dodging to survive.

Defeat Rennala, and you've not only conquered the Academy but also gained access to her Great Rune and the ability to respec your character! Woo-hoo! Time to redistribute those stats and become the ultimate Elden Lord (or Lady)!

Why Bother?

So, why go through all this trouble just to get to a library? Besides the satisfaction of conquering a challenging area?

Well, the Grand Library is beautiful. Seriously. The architecture is stunning, and the atmosphere is incredible. Plus, Rennala's Great Rune is super useful. And, let's not forget the ability to respec! This is a game changer if you decide you hate your current build or want to experiment with new weapons and spells.

Plus, bragging rights! Telling your friends you conquered Raya Lucarian Academy and defeated Rennala? Priceless. Go forth and explore, fellow Tarnished! The Grand Library awaits!
