The Deflecting Hardtear can be obtained from the Gravesite Plain Furnace Golem and enhances your ‘spontaneous guard’ when mixed in your Physick – basically, the moment you pull up your weapon or shield to guard against an incoming blow, you’ll get a short burst of enhanced defense. Once you’re in a prolonged guard stance, the Tear boosts damage negation.

Located at the far western side ofCharo’s Hidden Grave, the Glovewort Crystal Tear can temporarily boost the attack power of your spirits. If you picked up any of the new Spirit Ashes in Shadow of the Erdtree, this is a great way to beef them up a bit. Make sure to have a look at our guide onall the new Elden Ring DLC Spirit Ashesand where to find them if you want to find more of them, too.
Crimsonburst Dried Tear

The Crimsonburst Dried Tear is within the first Golem you see as you enter Scadu Altus. When you mix it in your Physick, it’ll restore the HP of your allies over time. If your Spirit Ashes are in need of a little extra health boost while in a boss fight, or if you’re playing in co-op, this is a helpful Tear to have mixed in.
Cerulean-Sapping Cracked Tear

Found in the eastern part of Scadu Altus, east of theCathedral of Manus Metyr, the Cerulean-Sapping Cracked Tear restores FP when you land attacks. If you’re an intelligence build reliant on your FP, this is a fantastic Tear to have mixed into your Physick.
Crimson-Sapping Cracked Tear

Located in the Ancient Ruins of Rauh, the Crimson-Sapping Cracked Tear temporarily restores your HP when you land attacks. It’s similar to the Cerulean-Sapping Cracked Tear but for your health. This is a great Tear to have paired with something like the Deflecting Hardtear to help you regain HP from successful attacks.
Oil-Soaked Tear

The first Furnace Golem in theRuins of Unte, sleeping in the water, drops the Oil-Soaked Tear. This Crystal Tear, once consumed, causes you to break out in oil, allowing you to coat your enemies in it. With this, you can demolish them with fire-based spells, weapons, or whatever fire-based technique you choose to fight with.
Bloodsucking Cracked Tear

The Bloodsucking Cracked Tear comes from the second Furnace Golem in Ruins of Unte, blocking the entrance to the Ruins. To awaken the Golem, you need to throw a Hefty Furnace Pot into its basket, after which, you must kill it to obtain the Bloodsucking Cracked Tear. Once mixed in your Physick, it temporarily increases your attack power but at the expense of your HP, which will slowly drain over time.
