Elden Ring's HundoDex

Academy of Raya Lucaria

The sealed academy of sorcery in the middle of the lake. You need a Glintstone Key to enter; Red Wolf of Radagon and Rennala wait inside.

  • Suggested level: 40–55

Bosses

  • Red Wolf of Radagon: Blocks the hall up the stairs past the Schoolhouse Classroom grace; beating it opens the Debate Parlor. Its glowing sword swings are delayed, so roll late, and it leaves a Memory Stone.
  • Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon: Fought in the Grand Library beyond the Debate Parlor grace. In the first phase hit the students glowing gold to bring her down; in the second, dodge her summoned spirits and the full moon spell.

  • Head down the corridor into the graveyard and ride the turning wheel to its highest point for the Schoolhouse Classroom grace.
  • Go right into the hallway, climb every flight of stairs and defeat Red Wolf of Radagon at the corridor's end for a Memory Stone.

  • At the Raya Lucaria Grand Library grace, open the nearby chest with the Discarded Palace Key for the Dark Moon Ring.
