  • All Smithing Stone and Bell Bearing locations

Like most of FromSoftware’s videogames, Elden Ring is an extremely challenging title that punishes players for even the slightest mistakes. With its bestiary of unstoppable bosses, beautiful locales populated by hordes of relentless monsters, and dungeons laden with diabolical death traps at every corner, it’s enough to make any newcomer feel at a loss on how to beat it. Fortunately, it is possible to overcome the odds and the first step towards that goal is upgrading your weapons.

In Elden Ring, there are special materials called Smithing Stones that allow players to reforge their weapons into more powerful instruments of war by handing them off to blacksmiths. And there are literally hundreds upon hundreds of Smithing Stones scattered across the Lands Between for you to collect and improve your gear with. With so many to find, we have put together a list of all the Smithing Stones discovered in Elden Ring in order to help you become the next Elden Lord.

Elden Ring: Common Smithing Stone locales

Smithing Stones can be a grueling task to find, especially when you first begin your journey in the Lands Between. Thankfully, there are plenty of locales that are most likely to have Smithing Stones within them. For example, there are mini-dungeons labeled "tunnels" (like the "Limgrave Tunnel" for example) where you can find several Smithing Stones trapped inside orange or silver crystals strewn about the dungeon's walls. And the farther you explore outside of Limgrave, the more advanced Smithing Stones you will discover.

Caves and mines aren't the only places where you will find Smithing Stones. You can find them anywhere on the open world, in treasure chests, or even as loot drops from enemies and bosses. However, if you want a guaranteed supply of Smithing Stones, you can purchase them from the Twin Maiden Husks NPC located in the Roundtable Hold hub area. However, these merchants will only sell the stones once you have given them special key items called Bell Bearings. These exceptionally rare key items are usually held by mini-bosses or contained in chests found in the game's more difficult dungeons.
