Effects

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 raises all resistances and heals all status ailments.

Minor Erdtree in the woodland

Altus Plateau

Starting Site of Grace: Bower of Bounty

1. From Bower of Bounty, ride northeast through the wooded valley toward the Minor Erdtree. This is the forest below the broken greatbridge, rather than the road on top.
2. The large Wormface guards the tree. Its Death Blight clouds are dangerous even if you can survive the ordinary hits; move out before the buildup meter fills.
3. Defeat the large Wormface beneath the tree to receive Crimsonspill Crystal Tear and Speckled Hardtear together.
4. These are fixed boss rewards. The smaller Wormfaces in the surrounding ruins do not drop either tear.

Notes

• Raises Immunity, Robustness, Focus and Vitality by 90 for three minutes and clears status buildup when used.
• These resistances help against status effects. They do not reduce ordinary physical, magic, fire, lightning or holy damage.
• Higher resistance gives you more room before a status triggers; it does not make it safe to stay in a damaging cloud or pool.
• 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.
• It also cures active poison, Scarlet Rot and Frostbite when used. The resistance bonus does not keep repeating that cure while you stand in a pool, and it cannot undo a Death Blight death after it has triggered.
