Primeval sorceries

Legendary sorcery devised by Lusat, primeval sorcerer.

Fires twelve dark shooting stars that pursue the target.

This sorcery can be cast while in motion. Charging increases potency.

When Lusat glimpsed into the primeval current, he beheld the final moments of a great star cluster, and upon seeing it, he too was broken.

Lusat's sealed chamber in Sellia Hideaway

Caelid

Starting Site of Grace: Sellia Hideaway

Before you go

• Receive Sellian Sealbreaker from Sellen after showing her Comet Azur.

1. Find Waypoint Ruins east of Agheel Lake in Limgrave. Enter the cellar among the ruined walls, defeat the Mad Pumpkin Head and open the door behind its arena. Speak to Sellen and agree to study with her.
2. From Erdtree-Gazing Hill on Altus Plateau, ride north through Wyndham Ruins and enter the valley beside Mt. Gelmir at Seethewater River. Follow the valley north, then around the mountain toward Seethewater Terminus.
3. At Fort Laiedd, continue south along the outside of the fort toward the lava pool. Follow the bank around the Magma Wyrm instead of entering the fort; defeating the wyrm is not required.
4. Keep following the mountain path past Hermit's Shack and the nearby Runebear, then continue to Craftsman's Shack and Hermit Village. The enemies along this route are separate from the pickup, so keep moving if you do not want those fights.
5. Go through the village and past Demi-Human Queen Maggie to the seated sorcerer with the green crystal head beside Primeval Sorcerer Azur grace. Interact with him and wait through the pause to receive Comet Azur. Do not attack him.
6. Return to Sellen at Waypoint Ruins. Show her Azur's sorcery, agree to journey with her and continue her dialogue about Lusat until she gives you the Sellian Sealbreaker.
7. From Church of the Plague in eastern Caelid, head northeast to the graveyard at the cliff. Find the large headstone guarded by a battlemage and strike the cliff directly behind it to uncover Sellia Hideaway.
8. Activate the cave grace and follow the miners' tunnel. Strike the false walls blocking the way until you reach the large cavern crossed by long crystals. Do not drop into the first deep pit with the Royal Revenant.
9. Cross the long crystal bridge, step down to the lower crystal near its far end and reach the rock ledge. Jump the gap ahead and follow the cavern wall until another descending crystal comes into view on your right.
10. Look for the crystal snail on that descending crystal. Use the crystals below it to descend into the second pit, then deal with the sorcerer guarding the blue seal at the bottom.
11. Interact with the blue seal while carrying the Sellian Sealbreaker. Follow the passage and speak to Lusat to receive Stars of Ruin. The three Crystalian bosses are elsewhere and do not have to be defeated for this room.

Notes

• Requires 43 Intelligence, a glintstone staff and one memory slot. Costs 32 FP for the full twelve-star cast, rather than 32 FP for each star.
• Fires twelve tracking projectiles that deal Magic damage. You can move while casting, and holding the cast charges it for more damage without changing it into a continuous beam.
• Tracking does not guarantee twelve hits. Distance, the target's movement and intervening walls affect how many stars connect, especially against another player.
• Lusat's Glintstone Crown boosts this spell by 15%, while increasing the FP cost of all sorceries by 15%. It is a different bonus from the crown's 10% increase to Glintstone Stars and Star Shower.
• The charged cast can benefit from Godfrey Icon. The longer windup still needs a safe opening; keeping moving is useful, but it does not protect you from interruption.
• One of the seven legendary sorceries and incantations. Speak to Lusat behind the blue seal for this spell; the Putrid Crystalian trio awards Crystal Torrent instead.
• You can collect it before Sellen's final choice. Once learned, it remains yours even if you later take Jerren's side, but get the Sealbreaker before closing off Sellen's request.
