TheMeteorite Staffis one of the many staves you can get inElden Ring, which can be used to cast Sorceries. If you didn’t start the game out with a staff from your class, you’re going to want to pick one up - and this one is a great early game staff to get. While the Meteorite staff has no skill to speak of, it has an incredibly high Intelligence scaling of S rank. It can’t be upgraded, but honestly, you’re not even going to need a new Staff for alongtime if you pick this one up early.
Additionally, this Staff has a very reasonable Intelligence requirement of only 18. For a magic build that’s going to be dumping attribute points into Intelligence, this should be relatively easy for you to get.

Meteorite Staff
Did I mention it’s a Glintstone Staff that can cast Gravity magic? Yeah, it’s a great early game staff. Let’s get into how you can get your own.
How to Get the Meteorite Staff Early
Unlock Torrent First
You’re in for a bit of a journey here, so you’re going to want to pick up Torrent first, if you’re just starting the game. To do this, you’re going to need to visit theGatefront Ruinssite of grace, which triggers your first visit withMelina- she will give you theSpectral Steed Whistle, which summons Torrent, and then you can be off on your marry way.
You’ll likely pass by theChurch of Ellehbefore you find the Gatefront Ruins site of grace. You should stop there and get the grace there, and then talk toMerchant Kaléas well. Pick up a crafting kit, if you have the runes for it. The important thing is the site of grace here.

Finding them will get you some great rewards that you would otherwise miss in a playthrough.
Start From the Gatefront Ruins
After unlocking Torrent, you’re going to follow the road to the southeast. This will lead you across a bridge to a fork in the road, and you’ll head to the northern path which will take you all the way to the Third Church of Marika. Ignore all the enemies and NPCs along this road for now, you don’t have time for this foolishness. Just ride straight to the church. You can even ignore the Troll with the sword. Just go right inside. Once in the church, you can pick up the Flask of Wondrous Physick and the Crimson Crystal Tear inside - you don’t really need this, per say, but it’s nice to have and easy to get.
The next part of our journey has us heading north from the Third Church of Marika. You’ll cross a river, and look around for a swirling white vortex rising into the air. This is a Spiritspring, and will allow you to jump a great deal higher with Torrent - you’ll find these around the Lands Between periodically. Jump the ones nearby to ascent up the cliffs - you’ll need to jump into three in total.

At the top of these cliffs is the Smoldering Church. There’s a site of grace inside, but you’ll have to fightAnastasia Tarnished-Eaterin order to safely rest at it. I recommend making your life easier and ignoring her for now so you don’t have to make this run all over again. This site of grace is optional, anyway.
If you do fight her, try to climb up onto something high. She’s not so bad to fight from a higher perspective.

Instead, you’ll ride east and jump over a wall to enter Caelid. Continue east until you come to the Rotview Balcony site of grace. Take a rest here, as Caelid is a dangerous place.
Onwards to the Smoldering Wall
Getting back to the road, follow it northeast all the way toCaelem Ruins. You’ll see the Caelem Ruins site of grace along the road to the north of the ruins, you’re able to pick that up freely if you like. You’ll follow the road and keep your eyes out for the Smoldering Wall site of grace, though, which shouldn’t be too far on your left beyond a Birdeye Telescope. The wall is pretty easy to see, itself.
Here, pick up this site of grace and rest to make sure you’re fully healed. You’re going to jump onto Torrent and head southeast until you get to the cliff overlooking the Swamp of Aeonia. Follow the cliffs southward until you see a tower, and jump off the cliff near the tower. Make sure you do, in fact,jumpoff the cliff, so that you may double jump closer to the ground. This will ensure you take no damage.

Never jump off high places without riding Torrent. Learn from my mistakes.
Now that you’re in the swamp, you should see the Street of Sages Ruin area. You’ll go to the foundation of the ruined tower, hop off Torrent, and then head through the doorway to go inside. There are three Poison Flowers within. Kill them all to clear the way, and then you’ll see a corpse in a window. That’s your staff.
