Managing equipment load in Elden Ring can significantly impact your survival, especially when wearing heavy armor or wielding massive weaponry. The Winged Crystal Tear offers a powerful temporary solution by dramatically increasing your equipment load capacity for three minutes. By combining this item with the Flask of Wondrous Physick, players can gain unmatched mobility during tough boss encounters.
What the Winged Crystal Tear Does
When mixed into your flask, the Winged Crystal Tear boosts your maximum equip load capacity by 450 percent. This massive increase allows your character to perform light rolls even while wearing the heaviest armor sets available. The temporary effect lasts for three minutes, which is usually enough time to turn the tide of a challenging boss fight.
Exact Location of the Winged Crystal Tear
To find the Winged Crystal Tear, travel to the Altus Plateau region in The Lands Between. Fast travel or ride to the Hermit Merchant's Shack site of grace located in the region. From the shack, head east toward the hills above and check the cliff edge, where the tear rests in a stone altar bowl surrounded by skulls.
Unlocking and Customizing the Flask of Wondrous Physick
Before you can utilize any crystal tear, you must acquire the Flask of Wondrous Physick. This special reusable item is located inside the Third Church of Marika in East Limgrave. Once collected, rest at any Site of Grace and select the Mix Wondrous Physick option from the menu to equip up to two crystal tears simultaneously.
Strategic Combination and Combat Tips
Combining the Winged Crystal Tear with offensive or defensive tears creates a versatile combat buff tailored to your playstyle. Tank builds benefit immensely from heavy defense while maintaining light roll invincibility frames during evasive maneuvers. Remember to drink your flask right before entering a fog wall to maximize the three-minute duration.
