Purifying Crystal Tear | Elden Ring Wiki

Why couldn't this have dropped from "Mogh THE OMEN" instead of a seemingly random NPC drop from Yura's questline?

Submit

It'd be super cool if this gave you a temporary immunity against Blood Loss for the next 3 Blood Loss inflicting attacks, so that'd it still be somewhat useful even outside of the intended use against Mohg. It wouldn't make you take less damage, but it will stop you from getting insta-bled by someone powerstancing Cross-Naginata crouch pokes, or Storm Stomp -> Raptor Talons R2 true combo. Or Imps, don't forget the Imps.

Submit

Does it work once? Or does it negate his blood effects for a duration.

Submit

get ****ED, mohg

If you're having trouble with Mohg, just summon mimic tear with Godslayer greatsword. I mean, yeah mimic is cheap as hell but so is the game so dont feel bad about it if you're really stuck and not having fun. Games are supposed to be fun, not stressful. That's what work/school is for!

Submit

This crystal tear really should of been "Significantly negates the next three instances of bleed damage." That way it would serve its purpose of countering Mohg's Nihil, while also serving a dual purpose of a anti-bleed meta pickup as well as a way for arcane builds to get off free seppuku's. This would allow it under ideal circumstances to mostly block the 300+45% of health that three Seppuku's would inflict as well as trigger the white mask+Lord of blood's exultation which would make this a potential flask choice for arcane builds.

Sadly in it's current form it's a incredible niche situation PVE tear which people won't wish to put on there flask for general small Golden Effigy co-op meaning that they won't if knowledgeable activate the summoning pools in Mohg's area rendering the area rather inactive for co-op/invasions. If it was ever updated (no chance) it'd be quite appropriate that bleed builds are more prevalent as co-op summons in the bleed focused area of the game due to them potentially running the tear that counters the boss as part of there normal setup.

I really wish this item was hinted at better. I LOVE the idea of a boss fight that requires a specific item to protect yourself from their super powered trump card, but it's annoying that you can only find this either through Google or sheer luck. Just a note from the local merchant about a rumoured counter Mohg's blood ritual somewhere in Altus would've been great

Submit

Genuinely if this thing added +120 robustness (bleed & frost resist) for 3mins alongside this effect it would be great outside the boss too, I know the Speckled Hardtear adds 90 to all resistances but it could be situationally more useful to have this since bleed/frost builds are so common in PVP. Plus sacrificing both flask slots to effectively negate bleed isn't too overpowered imo.

Submit

Dudes done beat me like 35 times. I can get him to his 2nd phase pretty quickly and consistently but I don't live long enough afterwards to figure out the dodge timing of his attacks. And I'm literally just now finding out about this crystal tear lol

Submit

So, Mohg still heals himself, but I don't die. Fair enough.

Submit

This damn thing doesn't work. Yeah it reduces the damage form the attack to a chip but Mohg still heals like a fifth of his health from that. Great implementation of a one-battle-only item.

Submit

Wait, you guys are letting Mohg live long enough to Nihil?

Submit

Great for my Dagoth Ur Cosplay

Submit

It would be neat if this reduced the effects of another player's Bloodmoon Ritual. Not useful at all since that would require you to setup your flask just to screw over one specific weapon but neat, nonetheless.

Submit

I'd doesn't disappear on ng+ I just started ng+ and still have it and not even got to atlus plateu

Submit

If you're an INT build, combine this with Cerulean Hidden Tear (removes FP cost for a duration) and blast 'em with a full-charged Azur Comet while he's doing nihil. He's standing still and there should be plenty of damage to negate his healing.

Submit

I don't mind how obscure and strange of a mechanic this is but I dislike that he still heals even if his curse thing fails.
Feels like a half commitment on From's part.

Submit

I should note, I am on NG+2 and have not been to the altus plateau in this playthrough, and I have it in my inventory. so the "Unlike other Crystal Tears, it is lost in New Game Plus" is completely false.

Submit

Yea thanks from. How foolish of me for not realizing i need a random crystal tear i get from a random npc questline without 0 hints just to fight a bossfight without wasting 2 estus flasks. Honestly such good game design. I hope they remaster ds3 and make it so you can only get the storm ruler by doing siegwards questline.

Mohg: N I H I L
Me: N O N I H I L
Mohg: no nihil?
Me: N O N I H I L
Mohg: "sad mohg noises"

Submit

Note this does not stop Mohg’s heal, it just makes you not take the blood loss per Nihil

Submit

this item is useful for people running around with less than 30 vigor or just dont wanna spend 1-2 flask to stay full health during his curse

Submit

This might be a stupid question, but does this work against the Nihil weapon art in PvP

Submit

I both love and hate this tear, On one hand, I really like the concept of items that you aren't told about that can help in boss battles. It makes you feel really good when you remember that some object you found on your own could be used for this specific moment. Problem is, without knowing about it before hand, 95% of people will never be able to use this. The fact that it's found super far away, and only from an invasion that is part of a questline you may not even find in the first place, means, even if you trigger the invasion, it could be tens or 100+ hours until you actually fight Mohg so you'll probably forget all about it, or, you could have already fought him by the time you get it. Also, the fact that the thing that this tear will help with is forced damage sucks. So if you don't find it and use it, which most won't, you have to take damage. It would have been so much better if they had placed this early on in Mohgwyn's Palace so that, 1. you actually have a good chance of finding it, 2. you don't find it right before the fight, which would be a bit lame and 3. it would also be close enough that you would remember that you picked it up. I think that Margit's Shackle is an example of this idea being executed better.

Submit

i dont know what people are saying about "Purifying Crystal Tear doesn't guard against the curse" You're just timing the usage wrong, always do it when he goes to Unus, because he's soon to activate his curse attack around the same time

Submit

Killed Yura when he was spawning in the second church thinking I was invaded, any way to still get this?

Submit

I did Mohg before reading about this tear, it isn't required for the fight. Just be prepared to chug an estus for each curse circle going off.

Submit

This tear lasts at least 6 mins (stopped timing after 6 mins) so slam it before the fight starts.

Submit

It doesn't purify the curse, just gives you a shield against some of the damage. Biggest lie ever

Submit

OK so this **** is broken, it seems. I got invaded and never got the tear. Guess I'm not doing Mohg on this playthrough.

Submit

Didn’t drop from the invader and the site of grace also didn’t spawn.

Submit

This item should also grant immunity to bleed for 3 minutes. This way it'll serve as more than just an item that's useful for a single boss fight and will indirectly balance bleed weapons in pvp (which as of 1.03.2 are a little overpowered) while keeping them strong for pve.

Submit

So many people use this with their bleed builds having no idea what it does, quite funny really. Do they think it buffs them?

Submit

Should've been an item.

Submit

Works on Maliketh.

Submit

With Patch 1.03 the Purifying Tear doesnt negate the whole damage any more and Mohg still heals which he didn't before.

They should just have cranked up his 1st phase instead imo aas he still is basicly a onehsot and doesnt move at all as he just goes tres duo.... until he reaches 2nd stage. Guess the healing makes kinda sense as he doesnt die now during the Nihil power which he did before which made him by far one of the easiest bosses as he was busy doing his blood curse while getting destroyed

Submit

I long for the day when Host of Fingers will use this

Submit

This is worth to use in the battle since it gives you like 10s of free damage. Doot doot mf-ed lord of blood to death.

Submit

My flask of wonderous physick isnt refilling after I used this for the mohg fight I've tried resting at different sites of grace, changing tears but nothing is working. It just wont refill

Submit

It does not works against the weapon in pvp (shame could have had some use outside a single boss)

Submit

this can be useful for tricking people at pvp, bc the effect is similar to the tear that tanks 1 hit

Submit

The obligatory hidden item to make boss easier that 99% of players will miss because its not even remotely close to the boss

Submit

I wish this removed the red eye effect and allowed the golxen eye effect too

can you use this in pvp vs mogwhyn great spear players?

Submit

IMPORTANT: this does not affect summoned phantoms, they take the full bleed damage

Submit

I imagine this item exists for no-hit runs.

Submit

I played with it for 60h thinking that's boosting my bleed. Yet, the only thing it was boosting was my morale

Submit

Genuinely thought the boss fight was impossible at level 1 until I saw this was a thing...nice.

Submit

I got this WAY after I already beat him... ....awesome.

Submit

Doesn't actually make you immune to the nihil thing, you take a little bit of damage. For safety, if your health is below a third or quarter, heal! Also i guess the only way to no-hit mohg is to just respec into full int and comet azur...

Submit

When you use this, you get a red bubble around your character that shatters on the third cast of his AoE, preventing all damage taken. It lasts a long time so you can use it before the fight starts and not worry about the phase transition.

Submit

does anybody know if this removes the current curse mohg adds or if it’s an effect with a duration that can prevent the curse throughout the fight?

Submit

Am I the only one who thinks they should do a better job leading players to this tear? I had to look up how to avoid nihil and was led to a random ass church

Submit

Yura's questline doesn't need to be done. I wasn't invaded on my first visit, but after fighting Mohg she invaded.
I also killed shunning grounds Mohg, if that counts

Submit

I found this about 5-10 minutes after beating him without knowing of its existence.

Submit

Lol, completely forgotten this tear and went to the boss

Submit

This item can still be acquired if you partially do Yura’s questline. All I did with him was the Reduvia invasion that he helps with and I also talked to him after killing Ahgeel. After he’d already been possessed I thought I might be screwed, but I went to the spot he’s supposed to be at by the Academy Main Gate and his katana was laying on the ground. After picking this up I went to the church and was invaded.

Submit

I definitely dont remember doing anything for Yura's questline before I came back to kill the invader for this, probably not a prerequisite

Submit

Eleonora spawned for me by revisiting the church for cleanup before NG+. The only part of Yura's Quest I did was killing the invader with Reduvia near Murkwater Cave - didnt speak to him near Agheel, didnt help him invade in Lucaria Academy and didnt speak to him at any place. Yet she invades me even if Yura is already dead / possessed by Shabriri. The only thing Im missing from his quest is his weapon and whatever the guy in the academy drops.

I guess its made that way so you wont miss out on that crucial item for Mohg.

Submit

she didn't invade. nice

Submit

Note: Using the tear in the flask for the boss fight doesn't stop him from healing, but does prevent you being being bled.
