The Crystal Tears are a fundamental part of the Elden Ring experience, so it’s only natural that the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC would expand on them. Several new Tears were added with the DLC, so here are all the DLC Crystal Tear locations in Shadow of the Erdtree.
Crystal Tear locations in Shadow of the Erdtree
There are eight total new Crystal Tears added in Shadow of the Erdtree. They’re scattered all across the map above and below ground, but their properties are worth the exploration. One, in particular, essentially turns Elden Ring into Sekiro and is by far the best Tear in the DLC.
Here’s where to find them:
| Name | Location | Description |
| Deflecting Hardtear | Scorched Ruins Furnace Golem | Allows you to deflect attacks like in Sekiro. |
| Crimsonburst Dried Tear | Shadow Keep Furnace Golem | Slowly heals your allies for a while. |
| Cerulean-Sapping Cracked Tear | Furnace Golem near Cathedral of Manus Metyr | Attacks restore FP. |
| Crimson-Sapping Cracked Tear | Rauh Ancient Ruins Furnace Golem | Attacks restore HP. |
| Glovewort Crystal Tear | Furnace Golem west of Charo’s Hidden Grave | Spirit Ash Summons do more damage. |
| Viridian Hidden Tear | Ellac River Furance Golem | Stops Stamina consumption. |
| Bloodsucking Cracked Tear | Sleeping Furnace Golem in Ruins of Unte* | Attacks do more damage but cost HP. |
| Oil-Soaked Tear | Ruins of Unte Furnace Golem | Nearby enemies are coated in oil. |
How to use Crystal Tears in Elden Ring
Crystal Tears in Elden Ring are used by being mixed in the Flask of Wondrous Physick at a Site of Grace. Players are allowed to mix up to two Crystal Tears into a single flask, essentially giving them two effects. Effects granted by Crystal Tears are limited, however, and last up to a certain amount of time. The time isn’t fixed and each Tear has its own duration. For example, the Deflecting Hardtear lasts around five minutes, whereas the Bloodsucking Cracked Tear is only available for about three minutes.
