How to Buy Somber Smithing Stones in Elden Ring
To purchase Somber Smithing Stones 7 and 8, you will need to purchase them from the Twin Maiden Husks after showing them a Somberstone Miner’s Bell Bearing [4]. You will need to progress far into Elden Ring to get this item, so make sure you have completed the majority of the game before progressing further through this guide.
To start, you will need to beat the Fire Giant boss, who is in the northeastern section of the Lands Between map in the Mountaintops of the Giants section. After defeating this boss, the game will open up to a Site of Grace called the Tempest-Facing Balcony. After making it to this Site of Grace, you will find the Somberstone Miner’s Bell Bearing [4] near the Site of Grace.
After you have found the Somberstone Miner’s Bell Bearing [4], head back to the Roundtable Hold and speak with the Twin Maiden Husks. Select the “Offer a bell bearing” option to give the Twin Maiden Husks the Somberstone Miner’s Bell Bearing [4]. This will allow you to purchase as many Somber Smithing Stones 7 and 8 as you want.
Here is where all five Somberstone Miner’s Bell Bearing locations are.
And here is how much Somber Smithing Stones 7 and 8 cost:
