Elden Ring: Best method to farm Somber Smithing Stone 5

To farm Somber Smithing Stone 5 in Elden Ring, you’ll need to get Somberstone Miner’s Bell Bearing 3. By giving this item to the Twin Maiden Husks at Roundtable Hold, you can buy as much of the upgrade material as you like for 9,000 Runes per piece.

To get the Bell Bearing, you’ll need to have reached the Mountaintops of the Giants region. Once you’re there, head towards the First Church of Marika Site of Grace located on the edge of the frozen lake. You’ll be able to spot a corpse in front of the church’s entrance – loot it to get the Bell Bearing.

• Atlas Plateau: You can loot a Somber Smithing Stone 5 from a corpse in an unmarked ruin on a cliff by heading west from the Outer Wall Battleground grace site.
