How to get Staff of Wisdom in Dark Souls 2

• Dragon Shrine, shortly after first bonfire by walking up the nearby steps (to the left if exiting the bonfire room), killing the Drakekeeper, and then breaking the crates behind him to reveal an area to use a Pharros Lockstone. If activated it will reveal a fog wall behind the player with a chest containing The Armor Of Judgment (Velka's Armor from Dark Souls 1) along with The Staff Of Wisdom.
• SOFS: Brightstone Cove Tseldora. Army Camp Bonfire. Jump down the well and proceed to the house. Inside the house is a Mimic with Dark Leggings and Staff of Wisdom.

DS2 Staff of Wisdom Hints and Tips

• Best sorcery staff in the game, especially when infused with Magic. It greatly boosts sorcery damage.
• Cannot be used to cast hexes.
• Casts from higher up than most staves, allowing many enemies to get under spells when close, but can be advantageous when casting over barriers
• Due to its sheer length, a close-up locked-on spell can sometimes score as a headshot, especially against taller enemies. Not something to rely on, but an unexpected boon nonetheless.
• Upgrades with Twinkling Titanite.
• 494 bns infused with 52 int
