The Academy of Raya Lucaria (Mattahouen)

Beyond the massive gates stands an enormous picturesque castle, a hogwarts style school for the sorcererous magics of the Lands Between.

Gradually, I press into the school, avoiding barrages of magic, and traversing treacherous landscapes. The school somehow remains in a state of perpetual night, which I assume is intentional, as a large percent of the decore seems night themed.

A bitter sweet sensation washes over me, as I realise the area is ripe for the looting, but all the treasures seem to be mage focused. Regardless, I trudge onward, past students, monsters and mechanical contraptions.

The school itself poses very little challenge, and after a while, I find myself atop an elevator, before a massive set of doors, leading into a grand library.

All my knowledge of the Souls games tells me a boss lurks through the doors, so I take a deep breath, stretch my shoulders, and nudge the doors open.
