Obtaining a Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone
The Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone can be obtained by defeating Anastasia for the third time. To do this, travel to the Smouldering Church (Caelid), Corpse-Stench Shack (Mt. Gelmir), river south of Ordina, and Consecrated Snowfield. Once there, open a chest and look for a Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone inside.
First, obtain the Somberstone Miner’s Bell Bearing to obtain the Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone. You can acquire this item by looting it from the Altus Plateau boss and the Sellia Crystal Tunnel. These items are also found on corpses in Crumbling Farum Azula and the Tempest Facing Balcony Site of Grace.
The Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone can be found near the Dragon Temple Rooftop Site of Grace. The area is guarded by a large dragon and numerous bird enemies. Once you’ve killed the dragon, you can find the stone in a covered area behind it. Once you’ve gotten the stone, you must go back to the location where you found it.
Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stones are harder to obtain than regular Ancient Dragon Smithing Stones. To obtain one, you need to be at the late-game phase of the game to complete the quest. To do this, you need to complete Latenna’s questline. To do this, talk to Latenna in Liurnia and head to the Apostate District in the Consecrated Snowfield.
Defeating Anastasia, Tarnished-Eater
Defeating Anastasia, the Tarnished Eater is a challenging fight for the Tarnished. This fey beast’s armor and curved greatsword resist slash damage. After defeating Anastasia, you can claim the Furlcalling finger Remedy and the Sacred Scorpion Charm. Defeating Anastasia will also award you with a Furlcalling finger remembrance.
In order to defeat Anastasia, first find a good location in the Smoldering Church. This location is located in the north-east part of Smoldering Village. Anastasia will automatically spawn in the Corpse-Stench Shack when you approach the church. Defeating her is an essential part of the quest to complete the Elden Ring.
To avoid the Tarnished Eater’s spells, stay at a medium distance. This will allow you to dodge her attacks while letting her deal damage when the animation is over. The Wild Strikes attack is particularly difficult, but has a long animation. While it is effective for dealing damage, you must use it carefully. Otherwise, it will cause the monster to flee and respawn.
Obtaining a Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone from Crumbling Farum Azula
In order to obtain a Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing stone from Crumbling Farum Azula, you must first get a copy of the infamous Somber Ancient Dragon Stone in the game’s main questline. The Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone drops in a massive skull in the south-western part of the map. It can also be found in a gazebo in the southeast plaza, near the Alabaster Lord boss. A similar scavenger hunt can also be done in the area above the gazebo.
Obtaining a Somber Ancient DPS Stone is easy. The first one can be found in a chest in Miquella’s Haligtree. You can then go back to the gazebo to find the second Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone. In this area, you can find a gazebo behind the Farum Azula dragon.
The Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone is a rare upgrade material that gives your special armaments a +10 boost. You can obtain a Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone from the Crumbling Farum Azula legacy dungeon, located near the Beside the Great Bridge Site of Grace. In this dungeon, you can complete a quest for Latenna the Albinauric, and kill her three times to obtain the Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone. In addition, you can also obtain a Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone from the Dynasty Mausoleum Midpoint.
