Sacred Tears
Sacred Tears are vital consumables in Elden Ring that permanently increase the potency of your Flasks of Crimson and Cerulean Tears. Finding these rare items allows you to heal more HP and FP with each use, significantly improving your survivability and combat effectiveness. They are exclusively found within churches scattered across the Lands Between, often guarded by enemies or hidden in plain sight.
To maximize your Flask's effectiveness, you'll want to seek out every Sacred Tear you can find. These tears are the primary method of upgrading your healing and mana restoration capabilities, making them a top priority for any Tarnished. Each Sacred Tear you discover will grant a +1 bonus to your Flask's healing power. The churches where they are found are often marked on your map by a distinct church icon, though some may be more subtly placed. Be prepared to face challenging foes guarding these precious resources. Some notable locations include the Church of Elleh early in your journey, the Church of Irith in the Weeping Peninsula, and the Church of Pilgrimage on the Altus Plateau. Prioritizing these upgrades will make difficult encounters much more manageable.
