      I believe the info on Gael Tunnel is false, looked the cave back and forth and stoll no blocked areas with the statues

      • The first Somber 5 location in the DLC shares the exact description as the first Somber 6 location in the DLC on its page... very helpful

          this boss is kind of like pre patch elden beast where you really want to use torrent because the boss is all over the place and the arena looks like its made for torrent use. sick bossfight but dont lock on if you dont want to simulate having a seizure

            What the hell does "Found north of the Erdtree Sanctuary Site of Grace, on a side room, at Leyndell, Royal Capital" mean? North of Erdtree Sanctuary is the Queen's Bedchamber.

              you have the same one listed twice here.

              "Dropped by a Teardrop Scarab south-west from the Bower of Bounty site of grace in Altus Plateau"
              and
              "Altus Plateau: Dropped from a Teardrop Scarab surrounded by Wormface enemies in Altus Plateau"

                People have already mentioned that the Glintstone Miners in Altus Tunnel drop these, and I can confirm they also drop from the Sorcerer Miners in there, although it's extremely rare.

                  There is one very easy to get straight away in Caelid. Go to the canyon that runs north from the Aeonia Swamp, run past the exploding Abnormal Stone Clusters and you’ll find a School of Graven Mages guarding it.

                    I just wanted to confirm that the miners in Altus Tunnel drop Somber Smithing Stone 5. However, they also drop Somber Smithing Stone 4.

                    • The Glintstone Miner enemies in Altus Tunnel (not the Old Altus Tunnel) can drop Somber [5]s if you're looking to farm them. There's also one in an outcrop on the wall in the upper part of the same room you find those miners. It's not a difficult farm though take care of the Avionette Soldiers first. I was lucky enough to get a random drop my first time through. The drop is mentioned in the comments below which is why I checked out the place.

                        There are three somber 5s in Leyndell, after you defeat gold godfrey, fun from the grace towards the lift, turn left at, not through the door, there's a body with them on it.

                            Just killed Full-grown Fallingstar Beast. It DOES NOT drop Somber Smithing Stone +5 but actually +6. That should be removed.

                              The fastest stone to reach is not mentioned here. It's just outside Sellia Crystal Tunnels, hug the right wall until you reach a narrow pathway with Abnormal Stone Cluster enemies, found right in front of a big crystal.

                                  The one that's south of the Deep Siofra Well bonfire can be accessed by just going to the northern centermost end of the Swamp of Aeonia

                                    There is one in altus tunnel, it took me a while to find but it's a white crystal on the wall behind the sorcerer near all the little wing soldiers

                                      A lot of the information on this page is wrong. The many faced ball monster south of the Deep Siofra Well doesn’t drop the stone, neither does the Fallingstar Beast in Mt. Gelmir (he drops a somber smithing stone 6). In addition, the two corpses mentioned in the Siofra River have a regular smithing stone 5, not a somber one.

                                        the smithing stone midway down the elevator shaft in the Sealed Tunnel is NOT a somber stone. it's a regular one.

                                          There are actually quite a few 5,6, and one 7 somber stone in the volcano manor underneath. If you let the inquisitor boss eat you in the academy you’re teleported under volcano manor. If Juno down and explore the runes you will find many stones on corpuses but lots of dangerous enemies

                                            The Crystal Sorcerers in Altus Tunnel drop Somber Stone [5]'s rarely. Was just testing weapons, 145 discovery, got 2 in 15-20 runs.

                                              Should be updated to "item on a corpse next to the Arcane Sphere of Faces."

                                                I have just found a 5, it is right across Sellia under stair, you can just follow the wall on the right untill you see one of the giant red scarabs that recharge your healing. It is waiting in-front of a canyon that is filled with explosive stone worms and at the end there is a giant face-ball enemy. Next to it on the ground is the somber 5, its attacks take multiple seconds to fire and come down so you can leisurely walk up, grab it and walk away before it could hit you.

                                                  There is one located on a body in the festivity area at Redmayne Castle, right before you go down to fight General Radahn.

                                                    Interactive map falsely claims you can find multiple of these items in Sellia Crystal Tunnel. List above is correct in noting that (5) stones cant be found there

                                                      The first one in the list: "Dropped by an Arcane Sphere of Faces south of the Deep Siofra Well grace. Map Link" is wrong. The faces don't drop it, its just one time spawn on a corpse behind/near the enemy.

                                                              "It’s not called prison cave I also looked up where I could find a somber smithing stone 5 and it told me in prison cave SW of Aeonia swamp. The cave is actually called Gaol cave and it’s basic at directly west of the aeonia swamp grave site. Maybe a 30 second ride on torrent. The stone is in a chest in the same room as the lever."

                                                                The easiest one I’ve found is just west of Selia crystal tunnels there is a ravine that stretches north to south. At the back of the ravine at the dead end is a conspectus head ball thing. Just behind it is one on the ground. No hoops to jump through or dungeons to beat.

You can spot the grey fog wall from a slight distance.

Found at the bottom of a large room with crossing tree branches/roots (down the ladder). you'll find it quite easily if you get in to the cave.
