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.
Where to Find the Bell Bearing (Location Spoilers Ahead)
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 is accessed 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.

To reach the Bell Bearing, head to the First Church of Marika, which sits south of a large lake in a closed valley, east-southeast of Castle Sol and directly east of the mountaintop Minor Erdtree. Players can find the Church beyond the mountains to the northwest of the Giant’s Gravepost Site of Grace, and the pushover Lord Contender’s Evergaol, to the west-northwest.
Somberstone Miner’s Bell Bearing (3) sits just north of the First Church of Marika; take Torrent to the Church, surrounded by floating white trees, and find the item on a dead body along the path leading up to the ruins. Players should keep their eyes peeled as the snowy ground makes the item a little tricky to find. They should also be sure to visit the Church for a Sacred Tear to upgrade the Tarnished’s Flask potency.
After grabbing the Bell Bearing, travel to the Roundtable Hold and follow the left passage to the Twin Maiden Husks, who sell items to the player. Offer them the Somberstone Miner’s Bell Bearing (3), and they will be supplied with an unlimited stock of Somber Smithing Stones (5) and (6) for 9000 and 12000 runes, respectively.
Elden Ring is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
