Academy of Raya Lucaria

Through the seal, over the graveyard and the great wheel, up to the Red Wolf, across the rooftops, then Rennala, the Hold and the errand for Thops.

The Academy suits level 50 to 60 with a weapon at +4 to +6, or +2 to +3 on somber stones. Fast travel to the South Raya Lucaria Gate grace in Academy Gate Town to begin. Torrent still comes when called just past the seal, but he can't be summoned inside the Academy.

Take Yura's sign on this visit

Yura moves on later in the game, and his sign on the bridge goes with him. Accounts differ on the moment, and the earliest has him gone once you leave Liurnia for the plateau above it. That locks Yura: Ravenmount Assassin sign, Bloody Finger Ravenmount Assassin, and his prize, Ash of War: Raptor of the Mists.

Leave by the doorway on the left, turn left again, and the grace is at the end of that hall.

Stay out of the statue's grip

An Abductor Virgin stands at the foot of the wheel. If its grab kills you, it carries you to a prison far ahead of this walk instead of sending you back to a grace. Fight it from range, out of the narrow path.

About this guide

Expect about 230 hours over three runs, in a game where bosses take practice. This route uses no save backups. Run 1 collects everything in the base game and Shadow of the Erdtree, and takes about 170 of those hours. NG+ (about 40) and NG++ (about 20) are shorter runs for the other two endings and the other quest branches, with tougher enemies and some bosses to beat again for remembrance trades. Random drops and free-choice NPC kills never count toward 100%.
