List of Contents
The Staff of the Guilty is a potential drop from Guilty enemies that wield a flaming staff. While they can be encountered across multiple regions, the best location to farm the staff will be the surrounding area of Guardians' Garrison in the Mountaintops of the Giants.
Fast travel to the Whiteridge Road site of grace and you will immediately spot several enemies wielding a torch-like staff, along with some fire monks. You can farm the weapon without alerting the fire monks by defeating the nearest Guilty enemies and reloading the area via the site of grace.
