The Elden Ring DLC adds forge materials, allowing you to test and improve SOTE’s new weapons. With this guide, discover the location of the Dragon Forge Stones on the map, with indications on the bosses and dungeons likely to give you some.
There are nearly a hundred new and interesting weapons in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, and most of them will require you to use Smithing Stones to upgrade them. To unlock the maximum +25 upgrade, you’ll need a Ancient Dragon Forge Stone. Unlike lower-rank stones that are available in unlimited quantities via Miner’s Cinerary Pearls, there are only a very limited number of max-rank stones in the game. There are 13 in the base game And 8 more in the DLC.
