Elden Ring: Where To Find The Wing Of Astel | Screen Rant
The Wing of Astel is a Curved Sword in Elden Ring that can unleash quick shockwaves with its heavy attacks and perform Nebula, a cosmic weapon art that produces a dark cloud of stars that explode after several moments. Requiring Strength 7, Dexterity 17, and Intelligence 20, the Wing of Astel is a mage weapon, scaling exceptionally well with the INT stat in Elden Ring.
To get the Wing of Astel in Elden Ring, Tarnished adventurers must gain access to the Uhl Palace Ruins, a location within the lower half portion of Ainsel River. However, although players can enter the Ainsel River relatively early on via the Ainsel River Well in Liurnia, they will not be able to reach the chest the cosmic Curved Sword is stored in until they've progressed to Ainsel River Main. This is because the loot container sits atop the arch above the region's Map Fragment. Accordingly, the only way to get to the upper level is by coming through an exit from the Ainsel River's locked northern area.
There are two ways to reach Ainsel River Main in Elden Ring, yet both require Tarnished to beat General Radahn of Caelid. Once the Starscourge General has been vanquished, the entrance to Nokron, Eternal City, will become accessible in southern Mistwood of Limgrave.
The first route to the Wing of Astel in Elden Ring is through a coffin transit from Siofra Aqueduct to the Great Waterfall Crest of Deeproot Depths and then riding another casket to Ainsel River Main. However, this transferring transport method will take some time. Therefore, Tarnished are recommended to take the second route of completing Ranni's questline instead. Once her "hidden treasure" request has been fulfilled, the Sending Gate to Ainsel River Main in Renna's Rise will become active, allowing players to reach the Wing of Astel's location much faster.
Starting from the Site of Grace at Ainsel River Main, head south to the northern section of the Uhl Palace Ruins. Go down the river tunnel on the right, past the Malformed Star. Before arriving at Nokstella, Eternal City, turn left and head into the entryway guarded by Giant Ants. This passage will lead to the upper level of the southeastern portion of the ruins, allowing players to climb atop the arch pass and obtain the Wing of Astel in Elden Ring. Still, be mindful of the Malformed Star that will fire Meteorites at the player as they approach.
Elden Ring is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
