The Elden Ring Meteorite Staff is one of the best weapons for magic you can use up through the mid-game. It has the best Intelligence scaling of any early-game staff and even grants a passive boost to Gravity-based spells. There is no way to upgrade the staff, so you’ll outgrow it eventually. Pair it with a strong Gravity spell early in the game, though, and it’s invaluable. You’ll need to brave the dangers of Caelid to get it. However, it’s possible to slip in and grab the staff without dealing with any enemies.
Where to get the Meteorite Staff in Elden Ring
The Meteorite Staff is on a corpse hanging out of a tower window in the Street of Sages, on the border of the Swamp of Aeonia. The fastest way to get here is utilizing the trap in the Dragon-Burnt Ruins in Limgrave. Head down the stairs on the northern edge of the ruins, near where the enemies are mumbling dragon chants, and deal with the rats in the chamber there. Using magic is a good idea here, as the rats can easily overwhelm you in close-range combat.
Open the chest in the room at the end, and stand in the smoke. It’s a trap that transports you to the Sellia Crystal Tunnels in Caelid, a dangerous area you can’t escape until you rest at another Site of Grace. Wait for the centipede soldier to pass by, turn right, and follow the tunnel along until you can turn left again. Dodge as much as you can while running, as the centipede warriors behind you shoot deadly projectiles that can kill you in two hits.
