Leaden Hardtear

Crystal Tear

For 10 seconds, it prevents the stagger caused by many ordinary hits.

Reference values

For 10 seconds, it prevents the stagger caused by many ordinary hits.

It does not prevent attacks that knock you down or launch you into the air.

You still take damage. Being able to finish an attack through a hit can also make it easy to overlook how quickly your HP is falling.

Technical details

A crystal tear formed slowly over the ages where the Erdtree's bounty falls to the ground.

Can be mixed in the Flask of Wondrous Physick.

The resulting concoction temporarily boosts one's poise.

Mt. Gelmir

Starting Site of Grace: Road of Iniquity

Start at Ninth Mt. Gelmir Campsite. Use the nearby spiritspring to reach the Full-Grown Fallingstar Beast's crater, then cross to the long rock jutting from the far side and drop onto the path below.
Follow the road toward Volcano Manor, but take the downhill branch instead of entering the manor. Continue below the cliffs, past the map stele, to Road of Iniquity.
From that grace, go east to the Minor Erdtree and defeat the Ulcerated Tree Spirit. Keep room around you so its moving body does not pin you against the tree or cliffs.
Both Cerulean Hidden Tear and Leaden Hardtear are awarded when it dies. The Fallingstar Beast and Volcano Manor's main boss are not required for this pickup.

Rest at a Site of Grace and choose Mix Wondrous Physick to use this tear. Drinking the flask uses its charge; resting refills it without consuming the tear.
This is stagger protection, not a general damage-negation buff. You can lose HP quickly while finishing an animation, even when the smaller hits no longer interrupt it.
