How to get Glintstone Kris in Elden Ring

Glinstone Kris is a dagger in Elden Ring that primarily scales with Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence.

The dagger is already magical. Therefore, it cannot be infused with any Ashes of War, enchanted with any magic, or boosted with any of the game's various consumable items.

This is one of the rarer daggers in the game because one wrong choice means it can't be obtained any longer. Players need to side with Sorceress Sellen during her questline to get it.

Elden Ring: How to obtain the Glintstone Kris dagger

For any Tarnished running a Dexterity or Intelligence-based build, finding the Glintstone Kris dagger should be a focus. This magical dart can deal damage and can be used as a ranged weapon.

It can cast Glintstone Darts at enemies, which can be followed up with a strong attack that chains into a lunging thrust. For speedier magic builds, this is one weapon Elden Ring players need.

However, to get this weapon, an entire questline needs to be completed. Players will meet Sorceress Sellen early on in the Lands Between, and helping her will see the dagger given as a reward.

This is a hefty questline in terms of time. It takes a lot of patience for Elden Ring players to travel to each location, beating the various bosses necessary to access locations, and simply dealing with Sellen and Jerren's nonsense.

It is necessary to side with Sellen to get the dagger in question, but the other outcome also provides solid loot. Siding with Jerren delivers Sellen's Bell Bearing and the Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone.
