Larval Tear

About this item

Core of a creature of mimicry known as a silver tear.

As much a substance as it is a living organism.

Material required by the amber egg cradled by Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon, to birth people anew.

Being born anew allows the reallocation of attributes boosted by leveling up.

Disguised Runebear east of Agheel Lake South

Limgrave

Starting Site of Grace: Agheel Lake South

1. From Agheel Lake South, climb the eastern slope overlooking the highway.
2. Defeat the lone Wandering Noble that transforms into a Runebear, then defeat the transformed bear for a tear.

Village of the Albinaurics graveyard

Liurnia of the Lakes

Starting Site of Grace: Village of the Albinaurics

1. Reach the shallow lake in southern Liurnia, then ride west beneath the enormous plateau. The village is in the shaded cavern below that plateau, not on the unreachable upper ground above it.
2. From southern Liurnia's lake, travel under the huge western cliff to the poisoned village beneath it. Follow the rising path past the hanging bodies to Village of the Albinaurics grace.
3. Search the graveyard northeast of Village of the Albinaurics grace, among the stone coffins. Loot the Larval Tear from the corpse; the Omenkiller across the bridge is unnecessary.

Pidia in Caria Manor

Liurnia of the Lakes

Starting Site of Grace: Royal Moongazing Grounds

Before you go

• Have 3,000 runes.
• Defeat Royal Knight Loretta to reach Three Sisters and the rooftop route to Pidia.

1. Reach the western Liurnia road and follow it north through Kingsrealm Ruins. Strike the illusory wall blocking the road at the northern end, then continue past Iji at Road to the Manor.
2. Ride toward the large manor while avoiding the magical strikes falling along the approach. Activate Main Caria Manor Gate grace at the entrance.
3. Inside, follow the courtyard path northwest toward the building in the far corner. Fingercreepers hide among the plants and beneath the ground; do not stop on a buried hand.
4. Enter the building with the seated spirit and climb its stairs to Manor Lower Level grace.
5. Take the elevated walkways east and continue straight along the main route at the first junction. Spectral soldiers appear along the bridges. Reach the far building and take its lift up to Manor Upper Level.
6. Leave the upper grace, pass the wolves in the garden and climb the main stone stairway toward the Troll Knight and sorcerers.
7. Continue up the stairs beyond the troll and Pages to the large circular courtyard. Defeat Royal Knight Loretta, then activate Royal Moongazing Grounds grace.
8. Leave Loretta's arena into Three Sisters and follow the southern cliff above the manor roofs. Use the visible lower roofs and wooden platforms to descend, then climb down into the room above Manor Lower Level.
9. Speak to Pidia, Carian Servant and buy his Larval Tear for 3,000 runes. This is his upper room, not a shop reached through the manor courtyard's locked doors.

Abandoned Merchant

Siofra River

Starting Site of Grace: Worshippers' Woods

Before you go

• Have 3,000 runes.

1. Descend Siofra River Well and reach the river's open area.
2. Climb the wooden scaffold near Worshippers' Woods and follow the platform route behind the waterfall to the merchant.
3. Buy his tear for 3,000 runes.

Mimic Tear boss

Nokron, Eternal City

Starting Site of Grace: Nokron, Eternal City

1. Defeat Starscourge Radahn, then go to the new crater south of Mistwood in Limgrave. Descend the floating rocks and enter Nokron over its rooftops.
2. Continue across the roofs and through the building to Nokron, Eternal City. Activate this grace before entering the open square.
3. Continue from Nokron's main square through the lower city and down toward the large open arena. Defeat the Mimic Tear boss for two Larval Tears. The boss copies your equipment when it forms, so choose what you have equipped before approaching.

Nighttime spiritgrave circles

Realm of Shadow

1. Rest until night in the Realm of Shadow.
2. Look for the glowing blue rings of spiritgraves on open ground. Collect the bright item in the middle of each ring.
3. Early rings include the cliffs south of Scorched Ruins and the hill east of Prospect Town. Return at night if the ring is absent.

Notes

• After defeating Rennala, speak to her at Raya Lucaria Grand Library and choose rebirth to redistribute your levels. Confirming the new allocation spends one Larval Tear.
• Opening the allocation screen and cancelling before confirmation does not consume the tear. You can inspect a possible build first, then back out if you do not want to commit.
• Rebirth keeps your character's level and starting class. You must reassign the available levels, and no attribute can be lowered below that class's original value.
• Changing cosmetics through Rennala is separate and does not need a Larval Tear. A respec also does not change weapon upgrades, starting class or which spells and equipment you own.
• There are 18 tears in the Lands Between and nine additional nighttime pickups in the Realm of Shadow. These are limited rewards, not an endlessly respawning crafting material.
• The disguised enemies and giant silver spheres that give tears do not award another copy every time you rest. Repeating an ordinary kill is not an unlimited respec farm.
• The blue spiritgrave-circle pickups in the Realm of Shadow appear at night. Rest until night and return to the exact circle if you visited its position during daylight.
• Unused tears carry into the next journey. You still need to defeat Rennala again to reopen rebirth in that journey.
• Boc's request is a separate quest choice, not the player's safe respec service. Giving him a tear can lead to his death; using the You're Beautiful prattling pate near him provides a different way to address his doubts.
• The listed disguised enemy, graveyard, shops, boss and early spiritgrave circles are selected accessible options. Other tears lie in Nokron, Nokstella and later regions.
