Find the Third Church of Marika in elden ring's Limgrave. Get the Flask of Wondrous Physick, Sacred Tear, and Crimson Crystal Tear.

The Third Church of Marika is located in the northeastern part of Limgrave, bordering Caelid. To find it, start from the Gatefront Ruins and follow the road southeast. After crossing a bridge, you will reach a fork. Turn north and continue following the trail northeast until the road ends at the church.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Upon reaching the Third Church of Marika, activate the Third Church of Marika Site of Grace.
  2. 2
    Head east from the Site of Grace to find a bowl containing the Flask of Wondrous Physick. This flask functions similarly to the Flask of Crimson Tears or Flask of Cerulean Tears but allows for customized effects by mixing various Crystal Tears when resting at a Site of Grace.
  3. 3
    Proceed north to the statue within the church to find a Sacred Tear. This item will improve your Flask of Crimson Tears and Flask of Cerulean Tears, increasing the amount of HP and FP they restore, respectively.
  4. 4
    Near the statue, you will also find a Crimson Crystal Tear, which is one of the components used to customize the effects of your Flask of Wondrous Physick.
Tips
  • The area around the Third Church of Marika is generally safe, but be aware of potential enemies along the road leading to it. These may include intermittent Kaiden Sellswords and a Troll-drawn carriage convoy southeast of the Gatefront Ruins. Keep your distance from these threats.
  • There is another Troll armed with a large sword located west of the church. You can typically ride past this enemy without engaging.
  • The Third Church of Marika is an excellent early-game spot to gather restorative items.
  • Flask of Wondrous Physick
  • Sacred Tear
  • Crimson Crystal Tear

How to Find the Portal to the Bestial Sanctum:

From the Third Church of Marika, exit the church and head north to a shallow river. Follow this river east, searching the foliage along the eastern cliffs. You will find currents of energy leading to a stone device with swirling energy. Interacting with this device will transport you to the Bestial Sanctum.

Enemies in the Third Church of Marika area:

  • Troll: Found near the church, drops 1000 Runes and a Smithing Stone Shard (1).

Bestial Sanctum Farming Tips:

  • Upon arriving at the Bestial Sanctum, you will see a Black Blade Kindred. It is advised not to engage this powerful enemy early in the game.
  • Head northwest through double doors to find the Beastial Sanctum Site of Grace.
  • Vulgar Militiamen roam the hills outside the Bestial Sanctum. While they can be challenging and may kill you in a single hit early on, they drop over 1,000 Runes each. Sneaking up on them for a backstab can make them easier to defeat. This area is a good spot for early-game Rune farming due to the number of Vulgar Militiamen and their rune yield.
