Where to Find Larval Tears in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree
To successfully collect Larval Tears, remember they only appear during nighttime. Before you set out for the listed locations, ensure you rest at a Site of Grace and choose the option to wait ‘until nightfall’; otherwise, these elusive tears will remain hidden.
