Causes concoction to explode in mixed physick

Ruptured Crystal Tear is a Crystal Tear in Elden Ring. Crystal Tears can be used and mixed to enhance the effects of the Flask of Wondrous Physick.

 

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.
Causes concoction to explode.

A defective crystal tear which possesses absolutely no medicinal qualities. A lesson said to be learned the hard way for some; faith can be a volatile matter, after all.

Elden Ring Ruptured Crystal Tear Notes & Tips

  • There is a delay of 3.2 seconds with an orange pulsing effect around the character before the explosion happens.
  • 2 Ruptured Crystal Tears can be obtained and stacked. The amount of ruptured tears in the flask affects the potency and radius of the explosion.
  • The explosion deals holy damage, this damage can be raised by items such as the Sacred Scorpion Charm and Incantations such as Golden Vow
  • The self damage inflicted is flat damage that is not mitigated by damage negation stats.
  • You can use this item to get early access to Leyndell, Royal Capital. Once you acquire this item, head to the teleport chest in Weeping Peninsula, leading you to the Divine Bridge Site of Grace. Head towards the elevator shortcut, start walking towards the ledge, drink the Flask of Wondrous Physick while you're moving so that you start falling down in the exact moment when your character has obtained the buff, then initiate a bare-handed plunging attack when the explosion is about to occur. If done with proper timing, the explosion can cancel the fall damage, allowing you to take the elevator back up and freely access Leyndell. This allows the player to enter the capital without the requirement of obtaining two Great Runes or even accessing Altus Plateau, basically only requiring access to Liurnia. Your Vitality stat doesn't matter in order for the skip to succeed as long as you time the plunge attack correctly (it's confirmed to work on 1.09 with a Rune Level 1 character).

 

  • You can find Crystal Tears at the bases of Minor Erdtrees and elsewhere throughout the Lands Between.
  • At sites of grace, you can mix two crystal tears in the Flask of Wondrous Physick
  • This will allow you to create elixirs with various custom effects.

      Petition for someone to mod the game to give you an infinite use version of this and doing a playthrough with Ruptured Tear flasks only. That'd be funny.

        You can use the Scepter of the All-Knowing's weapon art to reduce enemies holy defense by 10%, making this do a bit more damage. Stack with Sacred Scorpion Charm and Golden Vow to ruin somebodies day.

          this was silently patched with 1.09.1. it takes less then 3..2 seconds to explode, rendering that tower of return / leyndell entry skip impossible.

            The trick is to consume Ruptured CT and immediately use a Spell or Weapon Skill that cannot be interrupted by the explosion.

                Literally every invader in Stormveil @ level 30 +4 seems to be twinked out using this ****, it's ****ing annoying. They suck, even wearing veterans armor (which they probably use coop carries to win that fight) with obvious great jar pot for medium rolls (which they probably cliff cheesed). They are burning through like 5+ heals, just getting slaughtered like they have no idea how to invade.

                Then they just run up stairs to break line of sight, sip, drop, and one shot the host with this ****, then crouch spam like the jack asses they are. I wish they would just piss off, I don't mind invasions, it's the only way to refill flasks as a gold. But I can't stand a bad twink that just wants to kill everyone and ruin there run instead of losing like a good sport.

                    Love this, but unfortunately sometimes it just doesn't work on players. I use two of them, and there will be times where it will kill a cooperator who is further away and not kill the host at all. Seems to kill cooperators more reliably, but bugs out on hosts at least 5% of the time. (I think it can be dodge rolled to avoid it, but that's not what's happening.)

                      The damage scales with faith in the same way all elemental damage scales with the corresponding stat (when not overridden by A: Weapon Scaling or B: Spell Buff)

                            wrong warp into leyndell, kill godfrey and morgott at rl1-10 with a +3 or less (status effects help or just get old patch and cheese with carian retaliation/do flying torrent glitch if youre a baby), go through rold, do consecrated skip by jumping off a certain cliff, get 2nd tear, equip every holy damage boosting items and run at people in invasions for low level xiaomi phone build, tedious setup and not very effective since youre left pretty open to overlevelled phantoms but its
                            still funny just running up to people just kamikaze jumpscaring them out of nowhere, works great in stormveil

                                    I swear officer, I did not touch that deathbird. I just happened to drink this cool new drink I mixed up, and all of a sudden Im just laying here with it

                                      I had no idea these had any worthwhile use. I thought the ruptured crystal tears were a humorous way to say f**k you buddy! to a boss or strong enemy that's close to killing you.

                                      Has anyone tried it and are sure it works on the death rite bird at mountain top of the giants?

                                        Btw it oneshot any ritual deathbird if used right (shared order, sacred scorpion charm, contagious furry -> about 100% increase (against servant of death ennemies, who already have a huge holy debuff)).

                                        You can even go the mile further and rebuild to 800 hp, equip the twin kite shield in your right hand, have the kindred of rot exultation, mushroom crown and red feather talisman on, poison yourself and drink the flask.

                                        The low health buff will trigger instantly and apply to the explosion damage, and the poison will trigger the exultation's effect.

                                        There you'll be looking at 160% increase.

                                          If you have 800 HP and use red feathered branchsword talisman, it'll increase the damage on explosion. Include rkr art of war, golden vow incantation and twinbird kite shield and you'll deal 7700 damage, use dragon incantation to inflict frostbite beforehand and you'll do 10k. Enjoy suicide bombing everything!

                                            So I go to the concentrated snowfield kill that one, then go to the one near the converted tower and it doesn't spawn? Do I have to kill this one in my next journey or is there something I'm missing?

                                              I use both of these on my low lvl pvp builds when I invade someone at lvl 20 with +3 weapons and they got 2 people spamming rivers of blood by password summoning their 100+ lvl friends to carry them, they're so thirsty for that L2 1shot when they see you that you can easily pop this and get them all

                                              • You can abuse the iFrames of the explosion when walking off the top of Divine Bridge elevator to enter Leyndell through the back door. The timing is super tight, but if you attack while in mid-air and explode just above the railing of the elevator platform, you'll land on it without fall damage (only the explosion damage). Great for getting unique loot like Bolt of Gransax and Sanctified Whetblade early.

                                                  Can this be blocked in PVP or is this unblockable? Not the damage to self, I assume that's nonnegotiable, the damage to the attacker.

                                                  • I'm not sure which one it is but both Avatars don't appear for me, i have one ruptured crystal tear and neither tree has an Avatar to drop me another. I can still summon an ash at the one in Concecrated Snowfield if that means anything.

                                                                It deals holy damage (Perhaps more faith will up it's damage?)

                                                                I only managed to get a few items to stack & work together to increase it's damage.

                                                                At 1708 damage on npc's, players are typically 1-shot nearly every time unless they have a lot of vigor and/or holy damage negation, perfect for those 3v1 invasions!

Neither the boost attack at low equip load and the one for at max hp talismans make it do more however.
