About this item

A clump of small stones with smoldering cores.

Explodes when thrown together at enemies, inflicting fire damage.

Miners employ these stones as tools for rock blasting, but have long forgotten how to craft them.

Explosive miners in Limgrave Tunnels

Limgrave

Starting Site of Grace: Limgrave Tunnels

1. Follow the northern edge of Agheel Lake to the mine entrance in the cliff. Ride the lift down and activate Limgrave Tunnels grace.
2. Continue into the mining room and look for the miners who throw explosive stones.
3. Defeat those miners and collect their drops. Rest and repeat for another chance at Explosive Stone Clumps.

Notes

• Consumes one clump to throw five small explosive stones in a spread. It costs no FP and can be carried in stacks of up to 20.
• Each stone deals Fire damage, with stronger Strength than Dexterity scaling. One projectile has lower damage than a single Explosive Stone, but several contacts can make the clump stronger close up.
• A wide nearby target can catch more of the spread. At a distance, more stones can miss, and a wall or uneven terrain can catch part of the volley.
• The five visible stones do not guarantee five hits on the enemy. Individual small explosions also face the target's defenses separately.
• Fire bonuses improve the explosions. The item is neither a pot nor a weapon skill, so pot bonuses and Shard of Alexander do not apply to it.
• Can remove an active Frostbite effect through Fire damage. It does not create Frostbite buildup or add an explosion every time Frostbite triggers.
• The selected explosive-miner farm is repeatable. The Sealed Tunnel bearing sells ordinary Explosive Stones, rather than giving this clump the same unlimited stock.
• There is no crafting recipe. Bring the clumps you need before entering a fight rather than expecting to craft a fresh stack during combat.
