Prince of Death's Staff | Elden Ring Wiki

(Redirected from Prince of Death Staff)
From Elden Ring Wiki


Prince of Death's Staff is a Glintstone Staff in Elden Ring. The Prince of Death's Staff scales primarily with Intelligence and Faith and is a good Weapon for death sorceries and high level characters.

Staff embedded with sullied amber, said to be a very part of the Prince of Death.

Enhances death sorceries.
One of the staves deemed heretical by the academy for its ability to allow sorceries to be augmented through faith in addition to intelligence.


Where to Find Prince of Death's Staff in Elden Ring

The Prince of Death's Staff weapon can be found at the following location:

  • From

The Nameless Eternal City site of grace in Deeproot Depths, head east and you'll see a root ramp and a series rooftops forming a ramp. Go up either one, and at the very first intersection, drop down to the left and continue upward. The branch will turn left and lead to the top of a tower. The staff is in that tower.
