Weapon upgrades are king in Elden Ring. Players tackling FromSoftware’s first open-world adventure will have a hard time without the right gear to fight off the hordes of vicious enemies. Among the strongest weapons in Elden Ring are the boss weapons, usually retrieved by trading in Remembrance at the Roundtable Hold; however, these weapons cannot be upgraded with ordinary Smithing Stones, but instead require Somber Smithing Stones.
Rarer than their ordinary counterparts, finding Somber Smithing Stones can be a challenge in Elden Ring. The best way to unlock unlimited Somber Smithing Stones for purchase is by finding Somberstone Miner's Bell Bearing’s across the map to give to the Twin Maiden Husks in the Roundtable Hold. This guide will help players find Somberstone Miner's Bell Bearing (3) to help upgrade the Tarnished’s rarer weapons to +5 and +6.
In order to find Somberstone Miner's Bell Bearing (3), the player must first journey to the Mountaintop of the Giants, which is far to the northeast of The Lands Between. This location isaccessed via the Grand Lift of Rold after players make their way through Leyndell and the Forbidden Lands. The Mountaintop of the Giants should only be tackled by Tarnished above level 90, ensuring not to go over certain level caps, with weapons upgraded as high as possible.
