Harnessing the power of gravitational forces, the Meteorite of Astel is a potent sorcery that calls forth a barrage of meteorites to obliterate foes. This magical ability was historically wielded by Astel to devastate one of the everlasting cities in Elden Ring.
This guide will walk you through the process of acquiring the Meteorite of Astel and demonstrate how to effectively deploy it against powerful adversaries with the right character build.
Finding the Meteorite of Astel
To acquire the Meteorite of Astel, you must successfully defeat Astel, Star of Darkness, located within the Yelough Anix Tunnel.
You can locate this tunnel in the southwestern region of the Consecrated Snowfield. Before you can access the area, you’ll need to obtain both halves of the Haligtree Secret Medallion.
- To get the right half of the Haligtree Secret Medallion, find Old Albus, who is concealed within a giant jar in the Village of Albinaurics. You’ll need to break the jar and speak with him to receive this portion of the medallion.
- Continue with the main storyline until you reach the Mountaintop of the Giants. After defeating Commander O’Neil at the summit of Castle Sol, you will obtain the left half of the Haligtree Secret Medallion.
Once you have both medallion pieces, head to the Grand Lift of Rold. Use the D-pad to switch between the medallions, and then activate the Secret Medallion to gain entry to the Consecrated Snowfield.
Travel southwest until you discover the Yelough Anix Tunnel near some ruins. Proceed through the tunnel until you encounter the final boss, Astel, who teleports around the arena and unleashes a variety of gravity-based magical attacks.
Focus your attacks on Astel’s head to gradually reduce its health. After defeating this formidable foe, you’ll receive the Meteorite of Astel sorcery as a drop.
