Updated on July 28, 2025, by Nahda Nabiilah:Collecting Smithing Stones is a very tedious task, as players need to explore every nook and cranny while trying to gather as many smithing stones as possible. These upgrade materials are essential to leveling up weapons of various types. While the normal Smithing Stones level up some types of equipment to +24, there exists another type called Somber Smithing Stones that upgrade unique weapons, which are usually obtained from killing certain bosses. Luckily, there is a way to get unlimited Smithing Stonesby obtaining a specific Bell Bearing.
How To Buy Smithing Stone 5 & 6 In Elden Ring
Unlocking the ability to purchaseSmithing Stone [5]andSmithing Stone [6]requires players to obtain the Smithing-Stone Miner’s Bell Bearing 3. This key item can be found inside a chest under the Zamor Ruins, a location found early in the Mountaintops of the Giants.
However, players need to fulfill some prerequisites before they are able to access the Mountaintops of the Giants and the Zamor Ruins. These prerequisites prevent players from buying Smithing Stone 5 and Smithing Stone 6 too early in a playthrough, as the location literally cannot be accessed until the player has completed Leyndell.
How To Get To The Mountaintops of Giants
To get to the Mountaintops of Giants, players must use the Grand Lift of Rold. To be able to use the Grand Lift of Rold, players must use theRold Medallion, which Melina only gives to the Tarnished after beating Morgott at the end of Leyndell. To get into Leyndell in the first place, players must haveearned two Great Runes, so that the Two Fingers no longer bar entry to the Royal Capital.
This is the first majorobstacle that cannot be skipped inElden Ring, as there is no way to get through without collecting two Great Runes. Godrick and Rennala are typically the first two Shardbearers that players defeat, but the more difficult Radahn and Rykard also have Great Runes that are available if Godrick and Rennala don’t sound like much fun to fight.
Underneath The Zamor Ruins
The Zamor Ruins are found almost immediately upon entering the Mountaintops of Giants. From the grace where players meet Shabriri, the Zamor Ruins are directly in the way of progressing through the Mountaintops of Giants. The stairs that lead players to the chest under the Zamor Ruins are found in the back corner marked with a torch, thoughavoiding the Ancient Heroes of Zamoris easier said than done.
After obtaining theSmithing-Stone Miner’s Bell Bearing [3]from this chest, head toElden Ring’s Roundtable Hold and offer it to the Twin Maiden Husks. After this, theElden RingSmithing Stone 5 and 6 Bell Bearing should add these Stones to their inventory. If they don’t show up, and you’re worried about where to buy Smithing Stone 5 and 6 elsewhere, try simply resting at the Site of Grace and checking again.
