How To Get Stars Of Ruin Elden Ring And Find The Sorcery

Stars of Ruin is one of the most powerful legendary sorceries in Elden Ring, renowned for releasing twelve tracking projectiles that relentlessly pursue enemies. Obtaining this primeval magic requires players to progress through a specific questline and explore a hidden cave tucked away in the rot-infested lands of Caelid. This guide covers all the necessary steps, prerequisite items, and location details needed to add this devastating spell to your spellcasting arsenal.

Initiating Sorceress Sellen Questline

To begin your journey toward unlocking Stars of Ruin, you must first interact with Sorceress Sellen at the Waypoint Ruins in Limgrave. After agreeing to become her student, you will need to progress through her storyline until she asks for your assistance in finding ancient primeval sorcerers.

Before Sellen will give you the key item required for Stars of Ruin, you must acquire another legendary sorcery called Comet Azur. Head to Hermit Village in Mt. Gelmir to interact with Primeval Sorcerer Azur and receive his spell. Once acquired, return to Sellen and show her the spell to receive the Sellian Sealbreaker key.

Locating Sellia Hideaway in Caelid

With the Sellian Sealbreaker key in your inventory, travel to northeastern Caelid near the Church of the Plague. Head north past a sorcerer enemy until you locate a large graveyard featuring a prominent tombstone.

Strike the cliff face directly behind the graveyard tombstone to reveal an illusory wall hiding the entrance to Sellia Hideaway. Venture inside the dark crystal-filled cavern while navigating carefully past miners and magical barriers.

Unlocking the Magic Seal and Claiming the Spell

As you descend deeper into Sellia Hideaway, navigate along the oversized blue crystal pathways while avoiding dangerous drops. Look for a lower pit where a powerful sorcerer enemy guards a glowing blue magical seal.

Defeat the enemy guarding the barrier and use your Sellian Sealbreaker key to dispel the magical seal. Interact with Primeval Sorcerer Lusat residing inside the chamber to receive the Stars of Ruin sorcery.

Stat Requirements and Combat Effectiveness

Equipping Stars of Ruin requires a minimum Intelligence stat of 43, making it a staple spell for high-level caster builds. The sorcery costs 32 FP to cast and fires homing star projectiles that deal severe magic damage.

Charging the spell increases its total damage output while allowing players to maintain mobility during casting. Its exceptional tracking capability makes it particularly lethal against fast-moving bosses and evasive players in PvP combat.
