Crystalian Spear & Staff (Academy Crystal Cave) Liurnia of the Lakes Boss

Description

The Crystalian duo are found as the final bosses of the Academy Crystal Cave just to the west of Raya Lucaria Academy. Alone they aren’t terribly difficult but together they pose a difficult challenge. One thing to note is that they both have a powerful guard which you will need to break either with a heavy weapon like a hammer or the sorcery for magic users. The Staff Crystalian will shoot Glintstone Shards at you but you can use the stone pillars to dodge and the Spear Crystalian typically does several leaping spear thrusts in a row with one twisting spin to finish. Kill Spear first and then Staff. For defeating the pair you will receive the sorcery.

Lore

Location

• In the Academy Crystal Cave directly west of the Academy of Raya Lucaria area. Two Stonesword Keys are needed to remove the fog barrier at the entrance.

Notable Info

• Break their poise and they become incredibly vulnerable to damage and will not recover.
• They are weak to magic so exploiting that vulnerability is a must.
• Ideally, summon a tanky spirit like Banished Knight Oleg to help distract one of them while you deal with the other (kill the Spear version first ideally.)
• can be very effective for ranged characters.
• They will drop the sorcery on defeat.
