Material needed by Rennala to grant rebirth
|
|
Larval Tears are Key Items in Elden Ring. A Larval Tear is a material needed by Rennala to grant rebirth. Key Items in Elden Ring include a wide variety of items found in specific locations or given by a related NPC, which are used to unlock areas, quests, and to further progress the game's story.
Core of a creature of mimicry known as a silver tear.
As much as a substance as it is a living organism.
Material required by the amber egg cradled by Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon, to birth people anew.
Being born anew allows the reallocation of attributes boosted by leveling up.
Where to find Larval Tear in Elden Ring
- Dropped by a Lesser Runebear disguised as a lone sword-wielding Wandering Noble standing directly east of the Agheel Lake South site of grace. [Map link]
- Found in the graveyard at the Village of the Albinaurics. [Map link]
- Dropped by a Grafted Scion disguised as a Giant Crayfish patrolling around the gazebo between Rose Church and Boilprawn Shack. There are four Giant Crayfish in this area; three of them are sleeping, and one is patrolling. The disguised Grafted Scion is the one patrolling. Easily reached by:
- Going south from Fallen Ruins of the Lake site of grace, or
- Going northeast from Folly on the Lake site of grace, or
- Going northwest from Boilprawn Shack site of grace. [Map link]
- Found in the graveyard east of Caria Manor after obtaining the Resurrection Painting. This area can only be reached after defeating Royal Knight Loretta.

The ghost disappears as soon as you touch it and the Larval Tear will appear on the ground along with a Juvenile Scholar Cap and Juvenile Scholar Robe. [Map link]
- Purchased from Pidia, Carian Servant for 3,000 runes (one available). He can be reached after defeating Royal Knight Loretta, then jumping down the cliffs from the southeastern side of the Three Sisters sub-area onto a balcony.
- Dropped by a Troll disguised as a Wandering Noble in Caelid, by the stone coffins on the cliff south of the Caelid Highway South site of grace. The disguised Troll is the one kneeling at the western end. [Map Link]
- Dropped by a Lion Guardian disguised as an Wandering Noble cowering in a corner in the unnamed ruins southeast of Windmill Village. The ruins are on the clifftops, most easily reached by going north from the Rampartside Path site of grace. [Map link]
- Dropped by a Wormface disguised as a flaming Putrid Corpse, east of the Road of Iniquity site of grace. The enemy is next to the first fire of the ruined camp. [Map link]

Larval Tear Use
Larval Tear Notes & Tips
- You do not need to defeat Rennala for the enemies to change shape when you kill them in their disguise.
- By the time you fight Rennala, you should have enough runes to buy the Larval Tears from the previously mentioned merchants.
- You will keep all the Larval Tears in your inventory upon entering New Game Plus.
- Cannot be dropped for Player Trade.
- If the player gives Boc the Seamster a Larval Tear, he will visit Rennala, be reborn with a human visage, and die soon after. The player will not be able to use his services for the rest of the game.
- Although during online coop it appears the player as a Furled Finger could pick up it as a drop from the corresponding enemies, the picked up Larval Tears will be removed from player’s inventory upon returning to their own worlds.
AnonymousI’ve eaten probably over 10 of these on ng+ to try out different builds. My characters eyes have changed now from the frenzied flame yellow to the same silver color of the larval tear. Also my three finger burns are gone with out using the needle. I’m confused and can’t find anything about it

Larval tears shouldn't exist. We should be able to respec as much as we want. At the end of the day it's a video game, and being able to experiment with different weapons equates to more fun. Last time I checked video games were designed to provide fun. FromSoft need to get a bit better at learning when to compromise on their vision to enhance the fun aspect. They've already shown they're willing to do this by adding conveniences such as map markers and stake of miraka.
- Anonymous
Too many of these. Used to be more of an issue when the game came out, but overabundance of respecs incentivizes switching your build willy-nilly. Which in turn leads to a feeling of not being able to overcome and, in the end, frustration about the game.
I know I'm taking something away, so I fully expect to be downvoted when I say this, but that is what I believe.

Question, can I get more larval tears in NG+ or do the enemies not drop them if you've already gotten the tear that they drop?

Someone like me who's playing the game again in light of the dlc to keep the rust off. I've put alot of hours into the game and you know got to the bored point. I always change at the slightest whim of wanting to play a new build. Here's hoping the dlc makes these at least farmable if not purchasable.
- Anonymous
There's a strange amount of these. 18 is in-between a lot and not enough. I kept getting bored of builds until I realized I only had 3 left. There's so many where to the average person it seems to be way more than you need, but ADHD brain says "just one more build with a cool sword."
Honestly, just make them renewable, it wouldn't change much considering there's already 18.

There's one in Mt. Gelmir. Keep going down the path where you find the map item for the area. You'll fight a... man it's the corrupted tree spirit thing lol. I got one after killing it. Which was clutch. I'm back playing again since launch and used my last for my new build. Already had all the others and now I can respec back to faith

In reality there are only 17 tears to get bc no sane person will try to fight that Chadbear noble buried in the snow by the Inner Consecrated Snowfield.

What were they thinking? If you're gonna give us this many per playthrough just make them purchasable/farmable, limiting these as a way to make your level-ups more impactful/important is pointless if you give us 18 chances to get it right...

The Larval Tear in Altus Plateu is almost directly south of Windmill Village, not south-east.

Should be farmable to promote changing and trying out builds.

there really should be more of these, it would make more people experiment with their builds instead of just copying some busted build off youtube

Since 1.07, the Wormface in Mt. Gelmir is already there without killing the Putrid Corpse, at least in my two playthroughs since the new update.

I used a cheat engine to spawn like 100 these, there's no reason to limit these when there is such a variety of builds to try out

They need to make these available to purchase after beating Elden Beast or in a DLC (as well as the ancient stones and other upgrade mats). For PVE the limit is whatever but for PVP, I want to try out lots of different weapons/builds without having to make new characters. Even if they costed Rune Arcs it would be totally fine.
- Anonymous
Fromsoft, we are waaay past the days of limiting respecs per play through, especially if you are going to continue to patch and balance the game. The need to be farmable/buyable asap. Pls k thx luv u.

The fact you cant drop these for other players is a travesty....i was planning on making new characters, grabbing tears, then muling them to my main but i guess not

I think 1million runes would be a nice vending price plus I could actually do something with my runes after 150. I dont even go back for them anymore unless its over 500K and just dump them into upgrade stones that ill never use

just add an evergaol that can be replayed forever somewhere in the eternal city that houses a mimic tear and drops a larval tear. this way you can fight the mimic tear as much as you want and also get a renewable source of larval tears.

Oh yeah lesser runebear in consecrated fields for larval tear....lesser runebear huh.....I will have my vengeance!

Okay I'm gonna just make every statement about glitches with larval tears I've found, including extra gained or lost. Rennala, I just used one then immediately pressed rebirth again after even though I didn't own anymore larval tears, was allowed to use another one that didn't exist. Village of the albinaurics has two glitches, one time it said I got the larval tear but checked my key items and never received it, the second one was not getting on at all, just a rune arc. A third thing is that, if you kill one of the transforming enemies while you die, and you don't get the notify of receiving the tear before you die, don't worry, there's a good chance you'll just have to kill the enemy again (tested on the larval tear bear in consecrated). And the fourth thing, not a glitch but a tip (pretty sure only works for PC and PS4 users with PSPLUS), you can make a build and then when you wanna start a new one just upload your save beforehand so you keep your larval tear when you wanna go back to another one, just by reloading your save (beware PS4 USERS, sometimes it will automatically save your data and ruin it, this is often random and can happen at any time, so make sure you arent depending purely on recovering your save)
- Anonymous
Another glitch I found (same dude girl about the other glitch with village). So I used a larval tear, ran out after, and immediately pressed rebirth again (on accident, was spamming to skip dialogue), and it let me rebirth again, obviously I denied that because I didn't want to do it again, but then after I couldn't, it's like I had an imaginary extra tear that disappeared because I didn't accept it's offer
- Anonymous
I think there's a glitch for the one in the village of the albinaurics, because the last playthrough on journey 6, I didn't get one even though it said I did, it gave the notif of getting it but I checked key items and didn't have one, and now journey 7 I just got a rune arc instead
I swear everyone cry and complain about this is a pc player and can easily get more with cheat engine. If you want to do 100+ builds all for pvp you can easily save your profits, do the build, go pvp enjoy it, then reload your save when you get bored to try new build. Finish the game get all items, then keep doing this all you want. You can save your Smithing stones and use them everytime you do a new build too.
If you want PVE then 17 more then enough to go through all the builds twice
- Anonymous
Are these the byproduct of Astel? It called "larval", but it also has an umbilical cord.
Having 18 of these per playthrough is great for trying out new builds in PvP but they seriously oughta add an infinite amount of dragon smithing stones in the post-endgame.

Unless they bring back Larval Tears as farmable, I'm done with Elden Ring. With all the build possibilities, the 100-300-hour playtime, as well as some of the really hard bosses, giving us only 18 respecs is a straight-up jerk move. DS3 respecs were limited, but DS3 was also much smaller and the experience so much better balanced that the limited amount wasn't much of a problem. If I didn't like a build and was at the limit, it wasn't a big deal to get to NG+. Elden Ring is huge and the balance can be pretty erratic, especially after Leyndell, and we should be able to fine tune as much times as needed (I'm fine with grinding items out, rune prices, etc.).

Just drop all your tears to a friend and load the save file at the state before the trade, then have him drop them back to you.
- Anonymous
Should be farmable just like Rune Arcs, there is no logical reason to make them limited at all (and don't say NG+ because the entire NG+ system in ER needs a massive overhaul, specially with all the duplicate crafting book items and duplicate spirit ashes you get that are useless, way too much clutter for little reward, it feels very rushed like they didn't think anyone will play NG+ and notice how it feels unplanned and unorganized, hopefully gets fixed in DLC or patch).
Maybe make some of the super annoying enemies that drop nothing of value drop these instead at 10%-5% rate or something (stupidly annoying enemies that aren't really worth fighting at all right now like Runebears, Giant Crayfish, Royal Revenants, Abductors, etc), at least there will be a good reason to fight them instead of just avoiding them completely.
So people who want to experiment with builds in PVP aren't forced to keep playing into NG+++++ just to get some extra Larval Tears.

people saying these things should be infinite are dumb lmao, this is a RPG, it's not some heavy cRPG like Fallout or something, but the RPG part in Action-RPG is still a thing and should be important. You made a shitty build? You have to live with it, simple as that. There should be like one or two respecs per playthrough honestly, mostly for things like adjusting your stats or something, but not infinite, not even the amount already present.

No joke I used all Larval tears at Rennala and after that i can respec infinitely it's true

I used all of my respec and don't feel like doing another playthrough just to change my build. Honestly just going to quit this game for a while

so what happened to "If all Larval Tears available in the game are used, Rennala will allow you to be reborn infinitely without further Larval Tears. "? did someone add that to the wiki as a prank? cause its gone now

I wish I could respec into a giant sentient wrecking ball like the silver tears
To conserve your larval tears, please research the stats individually as well as their influences on certain weapons via scaling.
Learn what works on paper before throwing points into random stats
STR/DEX are your core stats, with INT/FTH/ARC as your secondary stats, focus on combinations of Core/Secondary.
Alot of people upset for the sole reason of "Can't figure out my build" here.
My previous message disappeared so I'm asking this again:
Can someone confirm "If all Larval Tears available in the game are used, Rennala will allow you to be reborn infinitely without further Larval Tears. "?
I don't want to start NG, I just want to change builds for PVP/invades, so I want to be sure if this info is true or not. Thanks
"If all Larval Tears available in the game are used, Rennala will allow you to be reborn infinitely without further Larval Tears. "
Can someone confirm/explain this? This this cover the current game, so I don't need to start NG to get more?

Larval tears are dropped by the huge cannon ball looking enemies as well. I farmed about 10 last night. I'm pretty sure it was underground in the castle on the way to The Lake of Rot that there's a few of them close to each other.

while I was live streaming hunting tears and getting the Haligtree Secret Medallion piece under the Village of the Albinaurics. There is a alter like structure with some demi=humans and I found a tear not listed here. Wanted to share.

These things have a lot more value in general. I'm only level 170 and I can't choose between faith/arc, int/arc, int/faith, faith/dex, or arc/dex.

Wish we could get these instead of silly rune arcs. Rune arcs are beneficial in PVE while the larval tear have alot more value for PVP. Makes me more sense to rewards invaders with Larval tears instead of rune arcs.

lobster in the lake has to be killed before the scion will show. it's different than many of the others which changed when you hit them once. will try the 10 plus infinite gig out as soon as I get further in this playthrough. thanks for all the comments!

Why do we even need these? We literally unlock a rune from Rennala that has only one power... rebirth. Shouldn't we just be able to use it over and over?

A new covenant that rewards you tears for killing the host in PVP would be nice. We had that in DS3 with Rosalia so I don’t think it’d be a problem here

Pro tip for re specs. Divide you equip load by max equip load, anything under .69 is wasting points in endurance
Guys, if you're missing a larval tear, it's probably because you gave one to Boc. I completely forgot about this...

The best item for melee players. This makes it possible for you to not be a melee player anymore, because apparently **** melee players, i guess. Especially at endgame :/

I can confirm that at the very least, 12 respecs in a row do not give infinite respecs, if such a mechanic ever existed. Thank god for save files.

Should be farmable from all silver tear enemies. Even if it was an absurd low drop chance I don't care, I just don't want to have to keep a backup save to infinitely respec.

I swear I had one drop at the scions or whatever they are called with many hands in haligtree at the bottom of the city area where they spawn from the ground if you are close to them. they can either drop ghost plants for ash upgrade +9, or maybe larval tear too?
I had a moment when I would take that route and keep failing at the tree boss just before the next grace...for hours, and in the process I got a larval tear. got one for sure 100% ! and it was not the first time I killed it so my guess they may be farmable unless it was a bug

After a certain amounts of larval tear are used, Rennala grant infinite respecs. Why are people getting downvoted for stating this?

I don't know where that came from, but do not fall for that "Once you respec 10 times she lets you do it for free" crap. I did a save scum to spend my last 3 tears (pretty damn sure it's been 10 by now) and even though she thanks me for using the rebirth again and again, she still doesn't allow me to respec infinitely.
Also nowhere else on the internet mentions that.
- Anonymous
Instead of this being farmable, Rennala should just offer free respec if you can beat 3 random bosses in a row, kinda like BB dungeons.
This option should ofc only be available at end game and the bosses should be boosted.
I can already hear the salt drying on peoples cheeks

if you play coop in nokstella, you get the larval tears as summon too from those large balls

They should've made a covenant like in DS3 to get larval tears for every player killed or maybe 1 tear for every 3 players.

Too bad they can't be infinitely farmed. It's fun to just make temporary co-op characters/meme builds and then swap back to the main build after.

update, after a set amount of rebirth (around 5-6, for me at least), Rennala now rebirth you for free (not sure if it carries over in NG+)

Respec isn't free after a couple times sadly, if you had just respecd it'll let you do it for free until a certain set amount of time.

Don't believe the comments here and try to farm these. The drop rate tables for the game have been mined and are floating around, and nothing drops a Larval Tear outside of one-off scripted (and internally flagged) events. The silver balls can always drop Silver Tear Husks at a 4% base rate, but will only drop a Larval Tear on their first kill, for example. There are 18 Larval Tears available every New Game cycle and not one more as of Patch 1.03.2.
Commenters are getting confused because you could pick them up from co-op in another player's world (it disappears as soon as you return to yours), because some players don't know the difference between respeccing and the free cosmetic change available from both Rennala and Roundtable Hold, and because some players don't know the difference between Larval Tear and Silver Tear Husk.

Yo I don't know if it's supposed to be like this but Rennala respecs for free if you respec a certain number of times. I used...i think 10 tears. Now I'm out of tears but she still respecs me. She says thou art now a sweeting full fine and fair. Something like that. Confirm?

At the anon from a couple of days ago who suggested being summoned into someone else's world to kill the disguised Runebear for the Larval Tear: it doesn't work. Only the host gets the Larval Tear, and it's same for pick ups too, like the one in the Village of the Albinaurics. Only the host sees the Larval Tear.
