All Larval Tear locations in Elden Ring (2024)

Our Elden Ring guide will tell you where to find them all Larval Tears, including maps and screenshots of their precise locations.

There are only a few places to find Larval Tears and there’s an excellent chance you won’t have found one by the time you reach Rennala. There are a few you can find earlier in the game, though, and several more to find as you work through Ranni’s questline.

We’ll break them down by region below.

There is one Larval Tear to find in Limgrave. It’s near the Agheel Lake South site of grace.

Just east of the Agheel Lake South site of grace, you’ll find a generic soldier standing on a cliff overlooking the road. When you kill him, he’ll transform into a lesser runebear (surprise!). Defeat the runebear and it will drop a Larval Tear.

There are three Larval Tears in Liurnia near Rose Church, Behind Caria Manor, and Pidia, Carian Servant.

Just a little southeast of Rose Church, you’ll run into a patrolling giant lobster. When you kill it, you’ll discover it was actually a grafted scion in disguise. Defeat the grafted scion, and it’ll drop a Larval Tear.

After you make your way through Caria Manor and defeat Royal Knight Loretta, you’ll have access to the Three Sisters plateau in the north of Liurnia. Head east along the road there and then to the southeast. You’ll find a graveyard guarded by several wolves and a non-boss version of the Red Wolf of Radagon. Nearby, you’ll find a ghost sitting in a chair. Speak to it and it’ll disappear, leaving behind a Larval Tear.

After you defeat Royal Knight Loretta, if you head west along the Three Sisters plateau instead, you’ll be able to drop down along the cliff to meet Pidia, Carian Servant — a vendor inside part of Caria Manor you couldn’t reach before. He sells a Larval Tear for 3,000 runes.

Depending on how far you’ve made it into Seluvis’s questline or Ranni’s questlines, Pidia might be dead when you arrive. If he is, pick up his bell bearing, and take it to the Twin Maiden Husks in Roundtable Hold. You’ll be able to buy the Larval Tear from them instead.

It seems, generally, that Larval Tears are slightly more common underground. There is one to find in the Siofra River region at the Abandoned Merchant, and there are four more in Nokron, Eternal City when you reach that part of Ranni’s questline.

Look for the merchant to the west of the Worshippers’ Woods site of grace. They’ll sell you a Larval Tear for 3,000 runes. (Or you can kill them for their bell bearing and buy it from the Twin Maiden Husks.)

From the Nokron, Eternal City site of grace, head southeast. There’s a building with an open door there, and you can loot this Larval Tear from a corpse inside.

A bit farther east, you’ll head down a bunch of stairs on your way to the Mimic Tear (mini)boss fight. At the bottom of the stairs, look for a gazebo on your right. As you approach, you’ll get jumped by a few slimes. Fight them off and loot this Larval Tear from the corpse there.

In the southeast of the Nokron ruins, you’ll face off against the Mimic Tear. When you defeat it, it’ll drop a couple Larval Tears.
