Elden Ring poses many heart-racing challenges. Even with pin-point precision dodges, overpowered weapons, and nigh-unlimited upgrade potential, it can take just one neglected stat or a high-difficulty spike to ruin your good time. Thankfully, there’s a solution: Crystal Tears, and we’ve got details on all of their locations.
Despite all the sorceries and incantations, Elden Ring can still easily beat you down. Thankfully, the Flask of Wondrous Physick and its Crystal Tears are a heavily customizable potion. Utilizing the tears can grant you additional buffs that may be the last piece your build is missing.
