Where to find Somber Smithing Stone 7 bell bearing location in Elden Ring
To find the bell bearing that allows you to buy Somber Smithing Stone 7 in Elden Ring, you’ll need to gain access to Crumbling Farum Azula. To get there, you must make it to the Mountaintops of the Giants, beat the Fire Giant, and access the Site of Grace in the Forge of Giants.
Once you reach Crumbling Farum Azula, you’ll need to reach the Temple-Facing Balcony Site of Grace, which should be the second Site of Grace you find here. Once you’re there, look for a corpse on a nearby ledge and search it to find the Somberstone Miner’s Bell Bearing (4).
Return to the Roundtable Hold and give the Somberstone Miner’s Bell Bearing (4) to the Twin Maiden Husks. Once you do, you gain access to purchase the following items:
- Somber Smithing Stone (7): 16,000 runes
- Somber Smithing Stone (8): 20,000 runes
- Sanctuary Stone: 600 runes
There are no limits to how many you can buy, so there should be no issue upgrading your special weapons to levels 7 and 8 from now on.
