The Complete Guide to Locating All Bell Bearing Smithing Stones in Elden Ring
Elden Ring: Upgrading Weapons with Smithing Stones
Introduction
Elden Ring, like other FromSoftware games, is known for its difficulty. Players can expect to encounter numerous “You Died” title screens throughout the game. To survive this challenging adventure, powerful weapons are necessary. And to upgrade these weapons, players need Smithing Stones. This guide provides information on how to acquire these stones and where to find them.
Obtaining Smithing Stones
Smithing stones are essential for leveling up weapons such as blades, staffs, shields, and spears. While these stones can be found in the game world or dropped by enemies, it is much easier to purchase them to expedite the leveling up process. Two key vendors who sell Smithing Stones are Smithing Master Iji and the Twin Maiden Husks at the Roundtable Hold.
Smithing Master Iji
Smithing Master Iji, located in northwest Liurnia of the Lakes, offers unlimited Somber Smithing Stone [1] and [2], as well as a finite quantity of Somber Smithing Stone [3] and [4]. To reach Iji, players must travel to the Kingsgrave Ruins in the northwest region of the lake. Defeat the skeleton mages and strike the magic wall to reveal a Site of Grace. Smithing Master Iji can be found on the left side of this area.
Twin Maiden Husks at Roundtable Hold
To access the Twin Maiden Husks and their supply of Smithing Stones, players must provide them with Smithing Miner's Bell Bearings. There are four Smithing Miner's Bell Bearings and five Somberstone Miner's Bell Bearings in total. Collecting all nine of these bearings will allow players to purchase all the Smithing Stones needed to level up any weapon to level nine.
Acquiring Smithing Miner's Bell Bearings
The first Smithing Miner's Bell Bearing, [1], can be obtained by venturing into the Raya Lucaria Crystal Tunnel. This dungeon is located in the northeast Liurnia of the Lakes. Defeat the boss Crystalian at the end of the tunnel to obtain the bearing.
The second Smithing Miner's Bell Bearing, [2], is found in the Sealed Tunnel southwest of Leyndell, the Royal Capital. Open a hidden path in the dungeon by striking the west wall, then defeat the enemies in the large area to discover a treasure chest containing the bearing.
The third Smithing Miner's Bell Bearing, [3], can be found in the Zamor Ruins at the Mountaintops of the Giants. Explore the ruins and descend the staircase to find a chest containing the bearing.
The fourth Smithing Miner's Bell Bearing, [4], is acquired after defeating the Godskin Duo in the main story. The boss fight takes place in Crumbling Farum Azula, which is unlocked after reaching the Mountaintops of the Giants.
Acquiring Somberstone Miner's Bell Bearings
Somberstone Miner's Bell Bearings allow the purchase of Somber Smithing Stones. The first bearing, [1], can be found in the Sellia Crystal Tunnel located in Caelid. Defeat the Fallingstar Beast at the end of the dungeon to obtain the bearing.
To acquire the second Somberstone Miner's Bell Bearing, [2], players must complete the Atlus Tunnel. Travel south from Minor Erdtee near the Forest-Spanning Greatbridge Site of Grace to reach the entrance of the Atlus Tunnel. Defeat the tandem boss battle at the end to obtain the bearing.
Conclusion
By following this guide and collecting all the necessary Bell Bearings, players can efficiently purchase Smithing Stones from the Twin Maiden Husks and upgrade their weapons in Elden Ring.
