Respeccing character attributes in Elden Ring allows players to experiment with brand new builds without having to restart the entire game from scratch. To perform a stat reallocation with Rennala at the Grand Library of Raya Lucaria, players must consume a rare item known as a Larval Tear. Tracking down these key items early and easily can save significant time while optimizing your character for tough encounters.
Early Game Larval Tears in Limgrave and Liurnia
One of the easiest Larval Tears to acquire early on is located in Agheel Lake South in Limgrave. Defeating a weak runof-the-mill noble enemy transforms them into a Runebear, which drops the key item upon defeat. This battle is straightforward if you remain mobile on horseback and use quick dodge rolls.
Another simple spot to grab a tear is near the Village of the Albinaurics in Liurnia of the Lakes. Head past the village entrance into the dark cavern area and locate a small graveyard filled with wooden cross coffins. A glowing item pickup rests directly among the graves, requiring no difficult boss fights or complex puzzles to acquire.
Purchasing Larval Tears From Merchants
Players who prefer avoiding combat altogether can purchase Larval Tears directly from specific vendors in the Lands Between. The Nomadic Merchant located in the Siofra River underground region offers one tear for a modest sum of runes. Accessing this merchant only requires taking the elevator down from the Limgrave entrance and riding past the local wildlife.
Another convenient merchant is Pidia, the Carian Servant situated inside Manor Upper Level at Caria Manor. Drop down onto the balcony rooftops from the Three Sisters area to find Pidia selling valuable supplies. Purchasing from vendors provides a stress-free route to secure stat resets whenever you need a build adjustment.
Underground City Exploration Drops
Venturing deeper into Nokron, Eternal City unlocks several guaranteed Larval Tears for adventurous players. Upon entering Nokron after defeating Radahn, explore the stone buildings and open plazas for corpses holding the items. The straightforward layout makes looting these areas relatively quick once the city is accessible.
Defeating the Mimic Tear boss inside Nokron also grants two Larval Tears at once as a reward. Since the boss copies your current armor and equipped weapons, entering the arena unequipped makes the fight exceptionally easy. Re-equipping your gear immediately after the battle starts yields a fast victory and effortless loot.
Maximizing Your Character Respec Efficiency
Before consuming your valuable Larval Tears, plan out your target attribute numbers carefully to avoid wasting resources. Consider saving your game progress or backing up save files before committing to drastic changes in your build configuration. Keeping a small stock of tears in your inventory ensures total flexibility as you encounter new weapons and magic spells.
