The Staff of Sandro is one of the 25th anniversary "tribute" items in the game, offering a reference to the earlier games in the series, much to the merriment of fans. It has as yet not yielded any real return to the story of the old universe. A connection is much desired by the die-hard fans.

You can obtain this staff as part of the quest The Winged Lions of Sarkomand. It is located in the undergound, in the northern part of the ruins (Necropolis 3).
