Converts damage received into HP in mixed physick.

Crimsonwhorl Bubbletear is a Crystal Tear in Elden Ring. Crystal Tears can be mixed in the Flask of Wondrous Physick to enhance its effect.

 

A crystal tear formed slowly over the ages where the Erdtree's bounty falls to the ground.

Can be mixed in the Flask of Wondrous Physick.
The resulting concoction converts incoming damage into recovered HP instead. However, physical damage cannot be converted.

This effect is only brief and will quickly expire.

 

Where to find Crimsonwhorl Bubbletear

Mountaintops of the Giants: Start at the Foot of the Forge site of grace and move to the most north-eastern part of that mountain, past the pot-throwing trolls and the giant Fingercreeper. The bubbletear is at the end of a narrow passage heading west from this point, along the northern cliff. Beware that the passage is infested with small Fingercreepers. [Map Link]

      I know i am coming late as hell, but i just started playing this game a couple weeks ago.
      When i got this i thought "i am sure i can use this to get big windows of DPS".
      I read that it did not affect physical damage, which made it more of a niche situation, but i kept my eyes open for oportunities.
      I tried to use this in 2 different fights and i don't understand why it didn't work.
      1. Mohgwyn 50% phase where he deals damage at range just by chanting. IT SURELY IS NOT PHYSICAL RIGHT? ... well, it does not work.
      2. Melania lotus rot flower that blooms after the slam. you CAN walk though the lotus, IT SURELY IS NOT PHYSICAL RIGHT?... well, it does not work.
      I must confess it felt bad, i went to the trouble of trying to use an item in a smart way, only to be met with illogical failure

        Had a glitch where the effect oft this tear didn't run out and i was basically Senator Armstrong the entire duration of the invasion against 3

          I almost beat Malenia on my second try - one charged R2 away. She started flying and I drank my Crimsonwhorl + Leaden Hardtear potion to tank her - and I died.

          Third try, I drank the potion when she came close to death, about three seconds after, she prepared a slash, I tanked it, and I died.

          Am I missing something or does this thing just plain not work against bosses? I'm doubtful because Opaline works, but so far I seem to just be dying.

            Very satisfying against Mohgwyn's Sacred Spear ambushers, lol. Just walk right up and obliterate them with your own cheesy move.

              The directions are too complicated and the mark on your map doesn't lead to the item. Can you just add a video showing the location?

                Please add a video showing the location. I'm not a native English speaker and I can't figure out from your directions where should I go. I also went to the exact spot on the map and the item wasn't there.

                  basically necessary ng+7 for elden beast if you aren't timing your poise breaks to elden stars, or don't have the heaviest armor in the game.

                    Warning: it doesnt work with spells that deal physical damage, like stone of gurranq, ekzykes's decay, aspects of the crucible: horns, etc.

                      So this is the Crystal Tear you want to use when fighting Gankers as an invader. Dodge the Moonveil - Blasphemous Blade spammers or get some HP back.

                          It seems bugged with Purifying Crystal Tear? DId a fight with Mohg and drank this before Nihil, my hp was recovering the whole fight whenever he did damage to me

                            The directions here are terrible to follow. Let me give you a better one that isn't confusing.

                            On the landmass that the Church of Repose is located, start at the 'Foot of the Forge' site of grace and move to the most north-eastern part of that mountain, past the giant Fingercreeper. The item is at the end of a narrow passage along the north-eastern cliff that is infested with small Fingercreepers.

                              Even now, you can still get people calling you a hacker every so often because they still don't know this thing exists (at least on xbox). Had a moonveil mage in a colosseum 2v1 (my partner failed to connect) shout hackusations when stars of ruin and transient moonlight did no damage. Kind of funny, kind of sad.

                                I played this game for like 5 months now and have absolutely no idea this was a thing. Accidentally saw it in a video and was curious about what the whirly red tear was and checked if I missed any. Oh boy, good thing I did, this thing mixed with hardtear is probably the best cocktail you can have in PvP. And I guess most people on PC are just as unaware as I was since they just keep rushing and spamming at you while you're literally close to invincible for a couple of seconds.
                                If you're interested about PvP, don't miss this little red vortex, you won't regret it at all. Can be life-saving against multiple people and gives you plenty of room to unleash some great AoE or dish out insane burst damage.

                                  Literally didn’t know this existed and called a dude a cheat for it, killed em first game no prob but then he popped this on the next duel and took 0 damage and won a trade, super OP

                                    I just had a really weird glitch happen to me where I was fighting a magic build and after the effects of this supposedly wore off it actually stayed with me. The buff symbol was gone, but I kept healing any time I was hit. No clue how it happened or how to recreate it.

                                      Does anyone by chance know if it still registers as a hit and you flinch from it? Or does it act solely as just you healing and you can still input actions freely?

                                        this tear is absolute trolling incarnate since so many builds rely on elemental damage and for whatever reason, a ton of people will just keep smacking you even after fighting you before and knowing this is in your arsenal. Someone trying to vigor check you with the screwdriver sword? Block that **** and heal to full hp on the chip damage alone. Mage zoning you out with spam? Pop your flask and just sprint pell-mell straight at them. Needless to say, combine this with a 100 phys resist shield for the best effects, and make sure to time its use well since you have a pretty small window to actually make use of it. Abolutely a go-to for duels. Also, while I haven't tried it, I imagine it could be pretty useful against Elden beast as a 15 second get out of jail free card since every single one of its attacks deals pure holy damage.

                                          What damage types does this convert into hp? I know it doesn't work for physical but what about all the other ones

                                            I must've taken a wrong turn and ended up at the cliff right above it. I could drop down from there, bit by bit, and take out the hands from above in safety.

                                              So.. from what I gather, it (currently) sets your elemental resistances to something like 90-95% or more? Doesn't do anything for physical. It SAYS it heals but I did not notice any healing being done to me, just the fact it significantly reduced any elemental damage taken. I tried this out on that huge Bolt aoe the Dragonlord does and it did like.. 0 damage to me.

                                              So.. is it bugged? Or is the description just wrong. Fromsoft works in ways unknown to me.

                                                Was doing Mohg's phase 1 consistently, but when I got to phase 2 he completely beat the **** out of me (I hadn't found the purifying crystal tear yet), so out of desperation I tried this (I don't remember what the other crystal tear was, maybe crimsonspill or greenburst). Well, for reasons I can't possibly imagine, it glitched and I got something like 95% resistance to ALL damage, and was completely immune to blood loss damage (blood loss happened but I took no damage upon activation), and this continued for the rest of the fight, so definitely more than two minutes. My character was basically immortal until I rested at the grace site.

                                                  Why, just why did it have to be near fingercreepers? Why does every fantasy game need spider enemies. Screw you Tolkien.

                                                    Perfect against moonveil users and stars of ruin spammers.
                                                    "Omg why my super powerful attacks do zero damage, this is haxx"

                                                      This does NOT currently heal and the description is incorrect both here and in-game. This is not a bug but a stealth nerf. It now only grants 99.00% resistance to all elemental dmg negation and has no healing properties at all. This is the equivalent of being very close to invulnerable to elemental damage but not totally, and without any benefit of healing. Feel free to test it naked in lava or against the lightning spewing balls as I have.

                                                                  • What unnecessary hints are those?

                                                                    • Anonymous

                                                                        • Anonymous

It's {Over there.} The map shows it NW of the leg of the lying giant with its head pointing south. It's actually in the "hair" of the "man's face" in profile.

                                                                          • Anonymous

                                                                            I find this explanation to be more: From the “Foot of the Forge” grace, head northeast until you find a giant dog coming out of a clearing. Turn left there to find fire slugs and another giant dog. Entering the clearing, there are giants throwing magic flame pots, so beware. Head north towards a rock formation, and you’ll see a giant on top of it to the right. Turn right and go downhill towards the east - you’ll see another giant walking away from you. As you pass the walking giant, watch for a giant hand to come out of the snow. This is where you turn to the north and continue downhill. Once you’ve reached the northernmost point of that area, look to the cliff wall on your left where there is a path continuing west around the cliff edge. As you continue down this path, numerous hand enemies will appear in front of and behind you. The tear is found at the end of this path, and you’ll also be ambushed by a large hand.

                                                                            • Anonymous

The cliff is an entire troll setup with enemies sneaking up from behind and you'd probably die right in the middle of the cliff where you might not reach the remains before dying again.
                                                                              Rolling or the the hands themselves will easily push you off the cliff.

Could it be bugged somehow? I tested it on malenia, erdtree avatar, haligtree knights and they all just damage me regularly.

You can also Mix the other part with something that goes Offensive. ( As this Crimsonwhol is the Best Late-Game defensive option ). Because the Opaline Bubble Tear immediately vanishes after 1 attack , but as for this it Lasts all of the 15sec duration... Also best for Demi-God encounters too as the Health returns. Currently i'm going with the Unlimited FP and this Mix ( Early Game you should always go with Opaline Bubble Tear and the Big Damage Negation Headtear i think its called Leaden Hardtear or something like that ). You also dont need those 50% Crystal Tears , as Late Game you should have the Cap of Golden Seeds ( Total of 14 Total Potions , i'm going with 12 HP and 2 FP Cerealian Flasks and the Mix Physique is an Excellent with this Crimsonwhol and the Unlimited FP Mix ). Goodluck folks. Also i recommend poping the Mixed Flask with this Crystal Tear only when you are stuck at 50%-60% so that you could easily Fully Heal as damage-backup ( This Mix will also save up your HP Flasks in certain Situations aswell ). Best Crystal Tear i'd say TOP 3

                                                                                                Just fought a particularly fiery/bloody greater boss & used this during its 2nd phase. It healed me a ton of times & lasted for a LONG time. Was literally putting in minimal effort because I thought I'd just die for the 20th time. There's either additional OP mechanics to this or it bugged out on me. The smaller damage ticks said boss does were auto healing easy but all the sudden, the bigger hits were almost being negated. I got beat like a ragdoll and still beat him with only a few flasks. Felt like a cheap win.
