Travel To Raya Lucaria Academy

Specifically, you want to fast-travel to theDebate Parlorsite of grace. This was the location of theRed Wolf of Radagon boss fight. From the site of grace, head out the exit on the west end of the room, back into the Academy proper.

Be careful of the enemies patrolling this area. One is lurking on the left staircase, and a few more can easily be aggroed from the floor below.

At the top of the two sets of stairs (and facing the stairs), look to the north (your right). You’ll find two bookcases. Striking theleftmost bookcasewill reveal it as anillusion, revealing a dark passage beyond. You might want a torch or hip lantern for the next part of this journey, as the lighting is pretty dim.

Head down the passage and into the library room beyond. The Graven-School Talisman isn’t in this room, but you’ll want to loot it before you continue. In the chest across the room, you’ll find theComet sorcery, a solid spell to add to your repertoire. Behind the chest, you’ll spot an altar.

Now, head back toward the entrance to the room. You’ll spot a ladder to the right of the door. Begin your climb to the next floor. This might seem like a dead-end—especially if you’re fumbling around in the dark—but head to the east end of the room and leap over the railing. You’ll find a space on the other side. On the north end of this space, there’s ahole in the wood paneling. Drop down to the floor below.

You’ll now be in a secret passage, hidden behind the wall of the previous room. Follow this secret passage to the south end until you fall through another hole.
