Action role-playing games traditionally feature tons of items to collect and when it comes to a massive game like Elden Ring, the number goes to infinity. In this around 120-hour game, players can’t randomly roam around in the open world of Lands Between, they have to complete missions, explore each location thoroughly, and most importantly, collect everything they find during their journey. Among these items, some are extremely rare and Larval Tears are among them. 

As a newcomer, players may wonder what Larval Tears do in the game. Well, Larval Tears are one of the extremely rare items in Elden Ring that help players respec their stats. To make it a bit clear, let me say, that during your playthrough, you must have used your points to upgrade different abilities, the Larval Tears help you reallocate the points that you have spent leveling up. Basically, it will allow you to change your build.

With all that said, this must have been cleared to players as to why they require Larval Tears. But now the catch is these are the rarest things to find and without knowing their locations, these are almost impossible to get. So, this guide will help you know the locations of the Larval Tears in the Elden Ring.

Elden Ring – How to Find All Larval Tears

In the entire playthrough, players will get around 18 Larval Tears and most importantly, mostly it should be an enemy who drops these bean-shaped items. However, sometimes players can purchase them as well. With this, note one vital thing, Larval Teras are limited and as you spend them you will lose your chances to reset your abilities. Therefore, make sure to think before using them.

This is the first location to have multiple Larval Tears to get. If you explore the entire location, you will get four Larval Tears.

  • The first one will be found in the Village of the Albinaurics. Make your way to the graveyard and you will find a Larval Tear.

  • Next, make your way to the north of the region to the Lake Site of Grace. There you will find four Crayfish, but only one of these enemies will be awake. It will turn into a Giant Scion and defeating it will reward players with Larval Tears.
  • The final one will again be found in the Caria Manor. Go to the Three Sisters section of the manor and use the Resurrection Painting. This will give players another Larval Tear.

Another location with Four Larval Tears to get. Below we have discussed their locations:

  • Make your way to the Nokron, Eternal City Site of Grace. From there, start traveling southwest, and inside a stone building, players will find a corpse with a Larval Tear on it.

The final Larval Tears will be found in Nokstella. Below we will talk about all their locations:

  • The first one will be found on the bridge and it will be dropped by the Silver Sphere.
  • The other two Larval Tears will be found inside the building after crossing the bridge, on the northeast side. 

These are the Larval Tear locations in the Elden Ring. These are not items that players will acquire if they are not aware of the locations. However, if you are curious to use them after acquiring a few Larval Tears, let me tell you, you can’t do that unless you have beaten Rennala, Queen of the Fullmoon in the Raya Lucaria Academy. After this fight, players can use the Larval Tears to reset their stats.
