Learn where to find the Flask of Wondrous Physick, how to customise the flask’s effects, and where to find all of the crystal tears in Elden Ring. Stay tuned to learn more about Elden Ring locations

Elden Ring crystal tear 

Want to know where to find the crystal tears in Elden Ring? Just like the Estus flasks in Dark Souls, you start the game with healing flasks that you can refill at Sites of Grace. However, this isn’t the only type of healing item available – the Flask of Wondrous Physick is a customisable alternative.

To get the Flask of Wondrous Physick, you need to reach the Third Church of Marika in Limgrave East. You will find it in front of a statue, along with a crystal tear that you mix to customise the flask’s effects. These tears are not to be confused with the Elden Ring golden seeds that upgrade the number of charges you have for your Crimson Flask and Cerulean Flask.

There are plenty of other crystal tears you can find in The Lands Between, and their effects trigger simultaneously every time you take a sip, and you can swap them at any Site of Grace. We’ll go over all of the crystal tears’ effects and where you can find them to use with your Flask of Wondrous Physick.

Elden Ring Golden Seed locations

Looking for Golden Seeds in Elden Ring? These handy seeds allow you to upgrade your flasks, increasing the uses of Crimson and Cerulean Flasks to help you out when you come up against tough Elden Ring bosses or explore one of Elden Ring’s many dungeons.

They can be found across the Lands Between; you can spot them by glowing Erdtree saplings, which make them easy to see from a distance when traversing the expansive open world. To use Golden Seeds, simply rest at a Site of Grace and charge your flask, with each upgrade increasing the amount of Golden Seeds required by one. You can also choose Golden Seed as a Keepsake when you’re picking your Elden Ring class during the character creation. You can upgrade your flask ten times and also strengthen them by finding and using Sacred Tears.

Although there are plenty of Golden Seeds in Elden Ring, we haven’t located all of them yet, but here’s where you can find all the Golden Seeds we’ve found so far.

Is Elden Ring a sequel to Dark Souls?

From Software have said that Elden Ring is a spiritual successor to Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls, and Bloodborne. This means it fits the classification of a ‘SoulsBorne’ game, but Elden Ring is a new IP within the subgenre.

Is Elden Ring like Dark Souls?

“Elden Ring,” by contrast, continues the progression of the Dark Souls series, in which director Hidetaka Miyazaki has tweaked the gameplay of each successive game to make it more attractive to a broader range of players, while retaining the fundamental moment-to-moment challenge.

Is Elden Ring a good game?

Since the game launched last week, most of them agree that it’s beautiful, detailed, and absorbing, but intimidating for newcomers. While critics seem to concur that it will stand as one of the best video games of the year, we’d also suggest that Elden Ring isn’t for everyone, exactly.

How many players is Elden Ring?

According to Steam Charts, as of March 4, 2022, Elden Ring has had an average of 633,602 players on PC since its launch. Although, the player count peaked at 891, 638 on February 27.
