In Elden Ring, upgrading your normal armaments will require using Smithing Stones. These items are essentially the upgrade materials of the game. Smithing Stones upgrade your armaments up to a certain level. The Smithing Stone 6, in this case, will upgrade any normal armament to +18.
Most Smithing Stones 6 can be found in Volcano Manor, Leyndell, Royal Capital, and late-game areas like Deeproot Depths and Ainsel River. In this guide, we’ll be looking at the locations where you can find this item and how to acquire an unlimited amount of it.
Volcano Manor
1) You must get to the Volcano Manor Grace’s top floor and search the dining hall’s corner to find the corpse holding the Smithing Stone 6. An Inquisitor Ghiza will protect the area.
2) There is a corpse dangling from the rooftop at this location. Climb over there to loot the corpse for a Smithing Stone 6.
3) Head to the Smoldering Shield area and drop to the lava lakes. There is a little piece of land here you need to get to loot a corpse with two pieces of Smithing Stone 6 in Elden Ring.
4) You can find two Smithing Stones 6 in this location. The marked location will take toward a building near the Guest Hall Grace. You will find a corpse hanging by the rooftop edge. Climb the building and loot the corpse to obtain both smithing stones.
5) You can get three pieces of Smithing Stone 6 from this location. All you have to do is lure the nearby Rune Bear to charge into the stone statue. That will destroy the statue to reveal the Stones.
6) This smithing stone is found in the southeastern part of the volcano manor, where you’ll enter the lava-filled caverns. The pillars allow you to access the corpse, which you can loot to obtain the item.
Leyndell, Royal Capital

Crumbling Farum Azula
Crumbling Farum Azula is a legacy dungeon similar to the Volcano Manor. The Dungeon itself can be considered a mini region that can be entered once you head to the Forge of Giants Site of Grace, where you’ll find Melina. Talking to her will immediately transport you to the Crumbling Farum Azula.
The second way to enter this region is only if you talk with the Three Fingers instead. With this heading to the same Forge of Giants Site of Grace will give you an action choice. “Listen to the Sound of Flames” will allow you to transport here.

Ainsel River
The next set of Smithing Stone 6 locations are inside the Ainsel River region of Elden Ring which features a vast cavern cave system. You can enter the region through its northern entry point, Ainsel River Main, in two ways.
The first is to head to the Deeproot Depths and use the coffin to travel here. The second method requires you to give the Fingerslayer Blade to Ranni which will open the access point at Renna’s Rise.
You can always get here through the southern entry point accessed by using the Ainsel River Well.
