Elden Ring Smithing Stones Locations Guide
To help you find Smithing Stones early on in the game, we have prepared this guide where we will walk you through all the Elden Ring Smithing Stone Locations.
What Are Smithing Stones Used For?
Smithing Stones are one of the most important items in the game. These consumables are needed to upgrade your weapons in Elden Ring.
Though they are not a particularly rare item to find, Smithing Stones are hidden quite well around the world of Elden Ring. You’ll find them naturally as you play through the game, but if you know the best locations to find them beforehand, you will be able to upgrade your weapons much earlier.
If you find a bunch of Smithing Stones early on, you’ll be able to quickly upgrade your weapons using a Smithing Table in the Church of Elleh. This will allow you to have a much easier time beating the early-game mobs and bosses.
Smithing Stone Tiers and Upgrade Levels
Regular Smithing Stones come in eight numbered tiers, and each tier covers three upgrade levels for standard weapons and shields. The Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone takes an armament to its final +25.
- Smithing Stone [1]: +1 to +3
- Smithing Stone [2]: +4 to +6
- Smithing Stone [3]: +7 to +9
- Smithing Stone [4]: +10 to +12
- Smithing Stone [5]: +13 to +15
- Smithing Stone [6]: +16 to +18
- Smithing Stone [7]: +19 to +21
- Smithing Stone [8]: +22 to +24
- Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone: +25
Every tier is covered below, from Smithing Stone [1] through Smithing Stone [8] and the Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone, with map locations by region, farming spots, merchants and the Bell Bearings that unlock unlimited purchases.
Smithing Stone Prices and Upgrade Costs
Standard armaments need two, then four, then six stones of a tier to climb its three levels, so a full run through one tier costs 12 stones. Taking a single weapon from +0 to +24 uses 96 Smithing Stones in total, and the final step to +25 needs one Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone. The table below shows what each tier costs once the Twin Maiden Husks stock it and which Bell Bearing you need to hand over first.
| Stone | Upgrade levels | Twin Maiden Husks price | Unlocked by |
|---|---|---|---|
| Smithing Stone [1] | +1 to +3 | 200 Runes | Smithing-Stone Miner’s Bell Bearing [1] |
| Smithing Stone [2] | +4 to +6 | 400 Runes | Smithing-Stone Miner’s Bell Bearing [1] |
| Smithing Stone [3] | +7 to +9 | 600 Runes | Smithing-Stone Miner’s Bell Bearing [2] |
| Smithing Stone [4] | +10 to +12 | 900 Runes | Smithing-Stone Miner’s Bell Bearing [2] |
| Smithing Stone [5] | +13 to +15 | 1,200 Runes | Smithing-Stone Miner’s Bell Bearing [3] |
| Smithing Stone [6] | +16 to +18 | 1,500 Runes | Smithing-Stone Miner’s Bell Bearing [3] |
| Smithing Stone [7] | +19 to +21 | 2,400 Runes | Smithing-Stone Miner’s Bell Bearing [4] |
| Smithing Stone [8] | +22 to +24 | 3,600 Runes | Smithing-Stone Miner’s Bell Bearing [4] |
| Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone | +25 | Not sold by the Twin Maiden Husks | Gatekeeper Gostoc sells one for 20,000 Runes |
Buying every stone for one weapon from the Twin Maiden Husks comes to 129,600 Runes, on top of the reinforcement fee the blacksmith charges at each level. Where to find each Bell Bearing is covered at the end of this guide.

Where to Farm Smithing Stone 2 in Elden Ring?

Where to buy Smithing Stone 3 in Elden Ring
The Twin Maiden Husks are the only merchant from whom you can purchase Smithing Stone 3 in Elden Ring. Smithing Master Iji is often mentioned as a second seller, but his stock is limited to Somber Smithing Stones.
Smithing Master Iji

Smithing Master Iji is a Troll NPC and one of the many Blacksmiths found during your journey in Elden Ring. He sits on the northwestern side of Liurnia of the Lakes, on the road to Caria Manor. He does not sell regular Smithing Stones, but he will reinforce your armaments with the Smithing Stone 3 you have collected, which saves a trip back to the Roundtable Hold.
Twin Maiden Husks
Another way to purchase the Smithing Stone 3 is by visiting the Roundtable Hold and buying it from the Twin Maiden Husks. This Merchant will sell you the Stone for 600 Runes each.
However, do note that to purchase the Stone from her, you must give her the Smithing-Stone Miner’s Bell Bearing 2 or Iji’s Bell Bearing.
Elden Ring Smithing Stone 3 Bell Bearing Location
To get the Smithing-Stone Miner’s Bell Bearing 2 to acquire unlimited amounts of Smithing Stone 3, you need to make your way to the Sealed Tunnel which resides on the outskirts of Leyndell.
The easiest way to reach the tunnel is to locate the Minor Erdtree in the Altus Plateau. Right below it, you’ll be able to spot a river. Following the river to the south will eventually bring you to the Sealed Tunnels entrance.
Once at the entrance, follow the path inside, and keep heading straight until you locate the area’s Site of Grace. From there keep to your left and strike the walls as one of them is illusionary.
Beyond the illusionary wall lies a room full of enemies. Killing them will allow you to open the chest which contains the Smithing-Stone Miner’s Bell Bearing 2. Giving it to the Twin Maiden Husks will not only give you access to Smithing Stone 3 but also to Smithing Stone 4 and Cracked Crystal.
Smithing Stone [4] Locations (+10 to +12)

As for the Gael Tunnel, it is found west of Caelid between the border going to Limgrave. This one is on the wall on the left side.
To find the Ravine-Veiled Village, you must visit Liurnia and head towards the north side of the lake.
Leyndell is found at the southeast side of the Altus Plateau and can only be entered through the northern outer wall.
Head to the west side of Caelid to find the Forsaken Ruins (south of Shack of the Rotting).
Smithing Stone 4 sits at the awkward middle of the game. Limgrave and Liurnia have very few, while Caelid, the Altus Plateau and the underground rivers have plenty. The pickups worth the detour are grouped by region below.
Liurnia of the Lakes
- Ruin-Strewn Precipice: the mining cave that climbs from the north end of the lake up to the Altus Plateau holds 13 Smithing Stone 4 in total, mostly embedded in the crystal walls and on the miners’ corpses. It is the single best spot for this tier.
- Caria Manor: on the altar of the small chapel inside the manor grounds.
- Four Belfries: in the chest at the enemy camp just below the belfries.
- Artist’s Shack: on a corpse sitting in a chair to the northeast of the shack.
- Lakeside Crystal Cave: on the lower levels of the cave, alongside the Smithing Stone 2 mentioned earlier.
Caelid
- Gael Tunnel: eight stones spread through the chambers of the tunnel that links Limgrave to Caelid. Clear it room by room and check every corpse.

Where to farm Smithing Stone 4 in Elden Ring
The miners working the walls of the Ruin-Strewn Precipice ignore you until struck and can be backstabbed without sneaking, so a lap of the cave is the fastest farm for this tier. Radahn Soldiers and the miners in Gael Tunnel also drop it, and the Stone Diggers of the Ravine-Veiled Village sit right outside the precipice.
Where to buy Smithing Stone 4 in Elden Ring
The Twin Maiden Husks sell Smithing Stone 4 for 900 Runes each once you have handed them the Smithing-Stone Miner’s Bell Bearing 2 from the Sealed Tunnel.
Smithing Stone [5] Locations (+13 to +15)
If your armaments have reached +12 in the Elden Ring, you must find Smithing Stone 5 to strengthen them further, up to +15.
The Smithing Stones 5 are scattered throughout the game, and a maximum of 999 can be held by a player at a time. Most of them are looted from corpses. They are also present in the three underground regions.
Redmane Castle

1) Go to the building south of Redmane Castle; the stone can be looted from a corpse you encounter there.
2) Go to the Redmane Castle’s southeast and climb the ladder on the tower. Once on the roof, you will find the corpse with the Smithing Stone 5.
Sellia Crystal Tunnel

1) In the open field in Caelid, at the location marked on the map above, there will be a bunch of Mushrooms. You can loot the stone piece from here, but beware of the raven that guards it.
2) Go to the north of Sellia Evergaol and the location marked on the map above. You can find three Smithing Stones 5 within a statue here, but to access these stones, you must break the statue, which can be done by luring a Dragon found east of the statue.
3) Sellia Crystal Tunnel is easily one of the best farming locations for Smithing Stones 5 in Elden Ring. All you have to do is farm the Glintstone Miners here.
You can get up to seven Smithing Stone 5 pieces in one go by heading to the storage room, the main cavern, and then the rest of the tunnel.

You will encounter a few soldiers guarding a small platform. Defeat the soldiers and get on the platform to loot the corpse for another stone.
4) Head west from Loretta, Knight of the Haligtree to come across a small building near a statue. Head inside to loot a corpse for another Smithing Stone 8 in Elden Ring.
5) The fifth Smithing Stone 8 is obtained by moving east from the Haligtree Town Site of Grace. You must go inside the Gazebo to collect the stone from a dead body.
6) This region’s last Smithing Stone 8 is located on the southeast side of the Haligtree Canopy Grace. You must move toward the marked location to find a corpse sitting on the chair.
This is also a prime area to farm Smithing Stone 8 as the Haligtree soldiers here have a chance to drop the item. You can repeat the area several times to stockpile Smithing Stone 8
Mountaintops of the Giants

1) The first Smithing Stone 8 is found northwest of the Rune Bear in Elden Ring. You can also collect multiple other stones from this site, but you must follow a particular method to get the stones.
You must lure the Rune Bear toward the marked location and let it smash the statue that contains the Smithing Stone 8.
2) The second Smithing Stone 8 is situated in the middle of the snowy area. You will come across several white trees with their base covered with reddish flowers. You will find a corpse sitting next to one of the trees, and you just have to interact with it to loot the stone.
3) The Yelough Anix Tunnel is undoubtedly the best farming place for Smithing Stone 8 in Elden Ring. The tunnel is located next to the Astel, Stars of Darkness boss. Make your way inside it to gain 8x Smithing Stones in Elden Ring.
4) You can get one more Smithing Stone 8 by moving west from the Putrid Avatar location in Elden Ring.
You have to move through the snowy area to a range of mountains. At the base of them, a corpse will be placed next to a large tree. Loot the corpse to get one more stone.
5) The last marked location allows you to farm 3x Smithing Stone in Elden Ring. You have to move south from the Putrid Avatar location toward a statue near the river.
6) Using a teleporter located just west of the consecrated snowfield, you can enter Mohgwyn palace where you can pick up one Smithing Stone 8 near a tree in the swamp area.
You cannot break the statue on your own, so you must lure the nearby Land Octopi or the Giant Crab to break the statue. The broken statue will provide you with three more stones for your weapon upgrades.
Siofra River

1) You need to visit the large Cave guarded by Sanguine Noble to gain multiple Smithing Stone 8 in Elden Ring.
Once inside the Cave, move south from your enemy’s location to find a corpse sitting next to a wall. You need to loot it to gain 3x Smithing Stones in the game.
2) The Last Smithing Stone 8 is found on a corpse sitting next to a wall. You can reach the location by moving east from the Dynasty Mausoleum Entrance Site of Grace.
Where to buy Smithing Stone 8 in Elden Ring
You can obtain the Smithing Stone 8 by visiting the Twin Maiden Husks in Elden Ring. This well-known merchant offers several resources, including the stones you require.
To meet the merchant, you have to move toward the Roundtable Hold, however, you must also have the Smithing-Stone Miner’s Bell Bearing 4 to initiate the purchase.
Moreover, you can hold a maximum of 99 Smithing Stones 8 and 999 such stones can be stored in Elden Ring.
Smithing Stone 8 Bell Bearing Location
Smithing Stone 7 and 8 can be purchased in unlimited quantities once you acquire the Bell Bearing for these items. Specifically, you need to acquire Smithing-Stone Miner’s Bell Bearing 4.
This item is dropped by Godskin Duo, a boss where you have to fight two enemies Godskin Apostle and Godskin Noble. They are found in Crumbling Farum Azula and you must talk to Melina to reach this area.
Offer it to the twin maiden husks and you’ll be able to buy an unlimited quantity of Smithing Stone 7 and Smithing Stone 8. The former for 2,400 runes each and the latter for 3,600 runes each.
Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone Locations (+25)
Ancient Dragon Smithing Stones are the pieces required to upgrade your regular weapons and shields by +25 levels in Elden Ring.
You can use these stones with your weapons at any blacksmith shop, but if you want to upgrade your special armaments, you need Somber Smithing Stones and Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stones in the game.
These upgrade materials are more challenging to collect as you might face several enemies guarding these rare pieces. So come prepared by knowing the locations and dangers you might encounter while gathering these Ancient Stones in Elden Ring.
There are a total of 13 Ancient Dragon Smithing Stones scattered across the map in the base game, and Shadow of the Erdtree adds eight more, which are covered in the DLC section further down.
Miquella’s Haligtree

You can treat yourself by reaching the Miquella’s Haligtree area to obtain two Ancient Dragon Smithing Stones in Elden Ring.
1) You can get the first Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone by moving north from the location of Loretta, Knight of the Haligtree in Elden Ring.
There you will find a tower that you must climb to reach the top area. Upon exploration of the top of the tower, you will find a chest that contains this much-needed upgrade material.
2) Moving north-south from the Loretta location, you will come across Miquella’s Haligtree legacy dungeon in Elden Ring.
From here, a little movement toward the South will push you toward a hugging Statue. You are going to face 1 Crusader and 2 Misbegotten before looting the corpse below the statue for another Ancient Dragon Stone.
Mountaintops of the Giants

You can find four Ancient Dragon Smithing Stones in the Mountaintops of the Giants, a rather tough region that you can enter in the late game.
1) Head to the Church of Repose in the Mountaintops of the Giants. Once there, look directly toward the southeast and notice a massive skull. Climb up to the skull and go inside its mouth to find the first Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone.
2) After defeating the Night’s Cavalry, head directly to the west until you find the Yelough Anix Tunnel. From the Site of Grace inside the tunnel, head forward, take a right, and dropdown. Go into the area ahead, drop down, and loot the corpse to the left to get an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone.
3) Head to the Inner Consecrated Snowfield and rest at the Site of Grace until nighttime. Afterward, head straight towards the southwest from the Site of Grace until you reach the caravan.
You’ll encounter two mini-bosses near this caravan, known as the Night’s Cavalry. Defeat the two bosses to get an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone.
4) For the fourth Ancient Dragon Stone, you need to move north of the Great Wyrm Theodorix location. You will come across a large frozen waterfall just above the Magma Wyrm. You will find the last Ancient Stone of this area at the edge of the waterfall.
Crumbling Farum Azula

The Crumbling Farum Azula is the region full of dragons and Ancient Dragon Smithing Stones in Elden Ring. You can explore the whole area to get up to a total of three of them.
1) Once inside the dungeon, walk towards the southwest until you see a curved platform. You will be attacked by a Farum Azula Dragon as soon as you reach the platform. Defeat the dragon to get the first Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone from this dungeon.
2) Look for the Crumbling Beast Grace Depths Site of Grace in the dungeon. After finding it, go to the area above the grace site, and you’ll see a Beastman guarding a corpse. Defeat the Beastman and loot the corpse to get the second Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone from this dungeon.
3) From the Dragon Temple Rooftop Site of Grace, head towards the southeast and enter the plaza. At the very end of the plaza, you’ll see another Farum Azula Dragon. Defeat the dragon to get the final Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone from this dungeon.
You can also go into the gazebo behind the dragon to get a Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone while you’re here.
Raya Lucaria Grand Library

1) This Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone can be obtained as a reward from the Sorceress Sellen questline, but only if you side with Witch-Hunter Jerren in Elden Ring.
You will find the Stone at the entrance of the Grand Library in Elden Ring.
Limgrave (Throne Room)

1) This Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone can be obtained as a reward for completing Nepheli Loux’s questline in Godrick’s Throne Room.
Where to buy Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone in Elden Ring
There are two merchants in Elden Ring that will sell you more Ancient Dragon Smithing Stones.
Gatekeeper Gostoc

1) The first one is Gatekeeper Gostoc who you can find in the Throne Room of Stormveil Castle in Elden Ring. Once you have completed his quests, you can purchase one Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone from him for a whopping 20,000 Runes.
Gurranq, Beast Clergyman

Gurranq, Beast Clergyman has the final Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone of Elden Ring. However, he is not your typical merchant. There are two ways to get the Stone off of him.
You can either trade your 9th Deathroot for his Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone or choose to kill him. The latter requires you to kill Maliketh first as a prerequisite. Killing Gurranq will also end his questline, so make sure to buy the Stone from him instead.
Smithing Stones in Shadow of the Erdtree
The Land of Shadow is tuned for the late game, so the expansion is generous with tier 3 and above and stingy with the low tiers. No new Smithing-Stone Bell Bearings were added, so the Twin Maiden Husks remain your shop, but the four Ruined Forges scattered across the Land of Shadow each hide a stack of stones and, in most cases, an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone in the furnace at the end.
Enemy drops are also far better than in the Lands Between. Golem Smiths, Black Knights, Fire Knights, Messmer Soldiers and Gravebirds all drop mid and high tier stones at rates between 5 and 10 percent, so any fort or ruin full of them doubles as a farm.
Smithing Stone 3 to 5 in the Land of Shadow
- Smithing Stone 3: Belurat, Tower Settlement in the Ulcerated Tree Spirit arena, Belurat Gaol near a Living Jar after the jar labyrinth, several inside the Ruined Forge Lava Intake, one by the Site of Grace in the Ancient Ruins of Rauh, and a full 12 inside the Ruined Forge of Starfall Past.
- Smithing Stone 4: seven in the Ruined Forge Lava Intake, five in Taylew’s Ruined Forge, four in the Shadow Keep, two on a corpse near the bottom of the Dragon’s Pit, and one on a corpse before the archway on the western side of the Ancient Ruins of Rauh.
- Smithing Stone 5: seven in the torture room of the Fort of Reprimand, four on the back wall corpse in the Ruined Forge Lava Intake, three in the Ruined Forge of Starfall Past, two in the Shadow Keep, two in the Lesser Magma Wyrm’s lair in the Dragon’s Pit, and more in Taylew’s Ruined Forge.
Smithing Stone 6 to 8 in the Land of Shadow
- Smithing Stone 6: nine in the Fort of Reprimand, eight of them in a single chest, six in the Ruined Forge of Starfall Past, three in Taylew’s Ruined Forge, and singles in the Belurat Gaol jar labyrinth, the Shadow Keep and the Stone Coffin Fissure.
- Smithing Stone 7: eight in the chest behind Black Knight Garrew at Fog Rift Fort, five across the Shadow Keep, and one reached over a collapsed column after the first ladder in the Ruined Forge Lava Intake.
- Smithing Stone 8: four in a chest up the tower ladder near the Lesser Omenkiller in the Fort of Reprimand, four in Enir-Ilim (two from a broken ledge and two on a roof corpse above the Spiral Rise Site of Grace), three behind the pyres near the Main Gate Plaza of the Shadow Keep, two behind Salza, Sage of the Fire Knights in the Ancient Ruins of Rauh, and one in Taylew’s Ruined Forge.
Ancient Dragon Smithing Stones in the Land of Shadow
The expansion adds eight Ancient Dragon Smithing Stones, which is nearly as many as the base game, so a second and third weapon can reach +25 without starting New Game Plus.
- Gravesite Plain: one from the furnace at the end of the Ruined Forge Lava Intake, one dropped by the Magma Wyrm at the bottom of the Dragon’s Pit, and one in the chest on top of the Suppressing Pillar.
- Scadu Altus: one from the furnace in the Ruined Forge of Starfall Past.
- Jagged Peak: one dropped by Ancient Dragon Senessax and one on the path near the Skeletal Slimes on the way to the summit Site of Grace.
- Rauh Base: two in Taylew’s Ruined Forge, one on the balcony with the Smithing Golems and one from the furnace.

How to Get Unlimited Smithing Stones in Elden Ring
Smithing Stones are required to upgrade all weapons, except the Legendary Armaments, in the game. Though they are hard to find in the huge world of Elden Ring, another issue that many players face is that upgrading a weapon from the start forces them to stick to that weapon and moving to a new weapon that they like can be a problem.
So, Elden Ring fixed this problem by making it so that you can buy as many smithing stones as you like, but this is not an option from the start.
To get this option to buy unlimited Smithing Stones in Elden Ring, you need Bell Bearing that will unlock smithing stones at the Twin Maiden Husks merchant at the Roundtable Hold.
Smithing Stone Bell Bearing Locations
Here are the bells that will unlock Smithing Stones for players in Elden Ring.
Smithing Stone Miner’s Bell Bearing 1
The first bell bearing can be found in a mine in Liurnia. You need to head north from South Raya Lucaria Gate along the cliff on the east of the lake.
You will find a tunnel here, the Raya Lucaria Crystal Mine. Complete this mine and defeat the boss, Crystalian, at the end. Defeating this boss will give you Smithing-Stone Miner’s Bell Bearing 1, which unlocks Smithing Stone 1 and 2 for purchase.
Just a small tip, since you will be heading into a lot of mines for these bells, use magic weapons or sorceries to kill the miners.
Simple weapons deal next to no damage and make these mines unbearable. Any Magic Infused weapon or any weapon that deals some magic damage will do the job just fine.
Smithing Stone Miner’s Bell Bearing 2
The second bell bearing is found in a mine in Altus Plateau. You need to go to the Sealed Tunnel to get this bell bearing.
From the Outer Wall Phantom Tree grace that you get after defeating the two Tree Sentinels, head east to the small lake. Head down using the spirit stream or the rock formation, then head south of the lake.
Here, the entrance of the sealed tunnel can be found. The tunnel has many illusory walls, so whenever you can’t find the path to progress, start smacking the walls in the corners of the room to find them.
After the first illusory wall, next to the fire, turn right and open the chest to get the second bell bearing.
Smithing-Stone Miner’s Bell bearing 2 allows you to purchase Smithing Stones 3 and 4 from the merchant.
Smithing-Stone Miner’s Bell Bearing 3
The third bell is in the end game area. You need to progress to Zamor Ruins in the Mountaintops of the Giants.
Even if you get there fast by bypassing most of the game, you need to have defeated the Draconite Tree Sentinel and obtained two great runes before you can actually purchase the stones.
Inside the Zamor Ruins, a simple underground room can be found which contains the bell bearing in a chest.
Smithing-Stone Miner’s Bell Bearing 3 allows players to purchase Smithing Stone 5 and 6 from the merchant.
Smithing-Stone Miner’s Bell Bearing 4
This bell bearing is in Crumbling Farum Azula. In this area, simply progress through the area and kill the Godskin Duo in the Dragon Temple. Killing the boss will reward you with Smithing-Stone Miner’s Bell Bearing 4.
Smithing-Stone Miner’s Bell Bearing 4 allows players to purchase Smithing Stone 7 and 8 from the merchant.
