An important part of FromSoftware’s latest game, Elden Ring, is leveling up both your character and your weapons. Upgrading weapons provides higher base damage stats and improves the attribute scaling that a weapon has. However, upgrading weapons, especially multiple weapons, is going to require a ton of Smithing Stones. Smithing Stones can be found throughout the Lands Between, but here are some of the locations in Elden Ring where each Smithing Stone and Somber Smithing Stone tier can be found. As we find more Smithing Stones, we’ll add them to this list.
