Elden Ring How to Enter South Raya Lucaria Gate

This guide explains how to enter the South Raya Lucaria Gate in Elden Ring, needed to reach the Academy of Raya Lucaria in Liurnia of the Lakes region.

When you first arrive there, the South Raya Lucaria Gate will be locked by a blue magic barrier. To enter, you need the Academy Glintstone Key.

This items is found behind the green dragon boss called “Glintstone Dragon Smarag”. He is found nearby, to the west of the gate, in the flooded area. You don’t have to kill him, can use your mount to quickly ride behind him and grab the white glowing items where he sleeps. See the location circled red below:

Once you have this, return to the gate and interact with it. You are then teleported to the Main Academy Gate in the north. From there, use the elevator to enter the Academy area. There are two powerful bosses in the academy, a Level 60+ Character is recommended. See Best Rune Farming Methods to level up quickly.
