How to Find Primeval Sorcerer Azur in Elden Ring: A Comprehensive Guide

Locating the enigmatic Primeval Sorcerer Azur in Elden Ring can be a challenging but rewarding endeavor. This guide will walk you through the precise steps required to reach him and secure his unique sorcery and armor set. Azur, once a grand master of the Academy of Raya Lucaria, is now an exile, dwelling in a remote and dangerous location. Here’s how to reach him:

Navigating to Azur’s Location

The Hermit Village Path

Primeval Sorcerer Azur can be found on a ridge near the Hermit Village at the base of Mt. Gelmir. Reaching this location requires a fairly lengthy trek, starting from the Seethewater Terminus region.

1. Start at Seethewater Terminus: Begin your journey at the Seethewater Terminus Site of Grace, which is located south of Fort Laiedd in Mt. Gelmir.

2. Head South: From the grace, you’ll need to proceed south, navigating through the treacherous landscape of Mt. Gelmir. This area is filled with hazards and enemies, so be prepared for combat.

3. Pass Fort Laiedd: Make your way past Fort Laiedd. Be cautious, as there are hostile enemies guarding the area. You do not have to enter the fort itself to progress to the village.

4. Enter the Hermit Village: Continue southward until you reach the Hermit Village. The village is infested with various demi-humans, including the Demi-Human Queen. You will need to traverse the village to reach Azur’s location.

5. Ascend to the Ridge: Once you’ve passed through the village and defeated the demi-human enemies, search for a path that leads up a rocky ridge. Azur’s body will be located at the end of this path.

6. Interact with Azur: When you reach Azur, you’ll notice he is not interactive in the traditional sense. He will simply hand over the legendary Comet Azur sorcery. The interaction prompt then disappears. Azur will not speak to you, as he is simply a vessel for the spell.

Obtaining Azur’s Glintstone Set

Gathering the Armor Pieces

The Glintstone Set belonging to Primeval Sorcerer Azur is found on his body. By following the previously described path to his location, you will be able to obtain the armor set once you interact with him after receiving Comet Azur. There is no additional task required to acquire the armor.

Important Considerations for the Sellen Questline

Avoiding Quest Conflicts

It is important to note that Primeval Sorcerer Azur is tied to the Sorceress Sellen questline. If you align with Jerren, a key character in the questline, Azur’s and Lusat’s armor sets may disappear from their respective locations. To avoid this, make sure to side with Sellen and defeat Jerren.

1. Complete Sellen’s Quest: Follow Sorceress Sellen’s questline. This involves rescuing her, assisting her with her research, and ultimately defeating Jerren at the end.

2. Return to Azur’s Location: After concluding Sellen’s story and her ultimate transformation, travel back to the location where you found Azur to find the Glintstone set.

FAQ: Primeval Sorcerer Azur and the Surrounding Lore

Here are 15 frequently asked questions about Primeval Sorcerer Azur and related topics to provide a more comprehensive understanding:

1. Why can’t I talk to Primeval Sorcerer Azur?

Primeval Sorcerer Azur is intentionally designed not to speak to the player. He functions as a vessel for the Comet Azur sorcery. He will not engage in dialogue. Upon interacting with him, you will receive the sorcery, and the interaction prompt will disappear. This interaction is a core component of his story and ties into his pursuit of the Primeval Current.

2. How do I free Sorceress Sellen?

To free Sorceress Sellen, you must progress through her questline. This involves first defeating the boss Radahn in Caelid. This is a critical step for advancing her quest. After defeating Radahn, Sellen will give you a Sellian Sealbreaker which can be used to dispel magical barriers. Use it on her body in the Witchbane Ruins.

3. How do you release Master Lusat?

Master Lusat is another primeval sorcerer involved in Sellen’s quest. After acquiring the Sellian Sealbreaker from Sellen, you’ll need to locate Lusat in Sellia Hideaway in Caelid. Use the Sealbreaker on the magical barrier blocking the path to him. Lusat, like Azur, will not speak.

4. Where is Sellen after she dies?

Sellen does not permanently die. After her transformation at the end of her questline, her original body is located in a hidden area between Ranni’s Rise and Renna’s Rise. There is an illusory floor between the archways. Breaking through an illusory wall in this room will reveal her physical form. You can then transplant Sellen’s Primal Glintstone into this body.

5. Why won’t Sellen give me the glintstone?

If Sellen does not give you her Primal Glintstone at the Witchbane Ruins, you might not have exhausted all of her dialogue options. You need to speak to her in her doll form at Waypoint Ruins until she has no more dialogue. Then, proceed to her real body at Witchbane Ruins to obtain the glintstone.

6. Is Sorceress Sellen important?

Yes, Sorceress Sellen is a crucial character, especially for players focusing on a magic-based build. Accepting her questline will allow you to learn new powerful spells by giving her scrolls, making her a very important vendor and quest giver.

7. Who transformed Sellen?

While it is not explicitly stated, it is heavily implied that Queen Rennala is responsible for Sellen’s ultimate transformation. This is based on the lore, environmental storytelling, and the fact that Rennala is a powerful sorcerer with the ability to manipulate life.

8. What is the eldest primeval sorcery?

The eldest primeval sorcery is the power behind spells like Comet Azur and Stars of Ruin, associated with Primeval Current sorcery. These spells are said to have been discovered by an ancient astrologer. This sorcery is considered legendary for its immense power and dangerous nature.

9. Where is Sellen’s real body?

Sellen’s real body is imprisoned in the Witchbane Ruins, located in southern Limgrave on the Weeping Peninsula. This location is where you’ll need to go to advance her questline. Her doll body resides at Waypoint Ruins.

10. Why was Azur exiled?

Azur, along with Lusat and Sellen, was exiled from the Academy of Raya Lucaria for their dangerous experiments with the Primeval Current. They disobeyed Queen Rennala’s rules in their relentless pursuit of forbidden knowledge.

11. Can you fight Rykard without joining Volcano Manor?

Yes, you can fight Rykard without joining Volcano Manor. However, finding him will be more challenging if you don’t complete the Manor’s questline. He is a mainline boss that is required to complete the game.

12. What to do after killing Rykard?

After defeating Rykard, you can use his Remembrance for power or remembrance, activate his Great Rune, and explore any remaining areas before heading to Leyndell. Defeating Rykard marks a significant progression point in the game.

13. Can you get into Volcano Manor without joining?

Yes, you can access Volcano Manor without joining by being captured by an Abductor Virgin in the depths of Raya Lucaria Academy. This will teleport you to the center of the Volcano Manor dungeon.

14. Does joining Volcano Manor affect anything?

Joining Volcano Manor in Elden Ring does not have negative consequences. It gives players new quests and access to unique loot and rewards. However, it will eventually cause all inhabitants to leave the Manor after defeating Rykard.

15. Does killing Rykard affect Volcano Manor?

Yes, killing Rykard, whether or not you join Volcano Manor, will cause everyone in the Manor to leave. This means you will miss the opportunity to complete any remaining quests and loot in the Manor, including Rya’s quest and Tanith’s contracts.

By following this comprehensive guide, you should now be well-equipped to locate Primeval Sorcerer Azur, obtain his legendary Comet Azur spell and Glintstone Set, and understand the lore surrounding him and the Sorceress Sellen questline. Happy exploring, Tarnished!
