Elden Ring Twin Maiden Husks Infinite Smithing Stones

In Elden Ring, the Twin Maiden Husks can sell you both Smithing Stones and Somber Smithing Stones—but only if you bring them the right crafting “sound” items (Klangperlen). Their early inventory starts small, yet with enough Klangperlen you can unlock a broad menu, making it much easier to upgrade weapons and spirit-using items when you’re ready to grind.

Key takeaways

The Twin Maiden Husks are located in a tunnel passage near the Site of Grace “Table of Grace” (Tafel der Gnade).
When you deliver the correct Klangperlen, the Twin Husks will expand their stock to include Smithing Stones and Somber Smithing Stones, plus items like Lillies used for upgrading spirit ashes.
If an NPC in your game world dies, their personal Klangperle often drops, allowing you to buy that NPC’s wares from the Twin Husks.
Somber Smithing Stones can also be purchased once you’ve collected the matching Klangperlen tied to each tier.
Ancient Dragon Smithing Stones and Ancient Dragon Somber Smithing Stones can’t be bought via the Husks and must be found in the world or earned through quest progress.

Where the Twin Maiden Husks unlock their full wares

The Twin Maiden Husks live in a corridor beside the “Table of Grace” (Tafel der Gnade). At first, their selection of upgrade materials is limited. However, turning in the correct Klangperlen unlocks additional items for purchase—Smithing Stones for standard upgrade paths, Somber Smithing Stones for unique weapon progressions, and also Lillies required to enhance spirit ashes.

There’s also a reliable way to expand what they sell: when an NPC you’ve interacted with dies, they usually drop their own personal Klangperle. Delivering that Klangperle to the Twin Husks grants access to the associated NPC’s shop inventory there.

Smithing Stones tiers: Klangperlen locations for normal weapon upgrades

At the blacksmith, Smithing Stones enable upgrades for regular weapons, while Somber Smithing Stones are tied to special weapons. The Klangperlen listed below are what let you purchase the corresponding Smithing Stone tiers from the Twin Maiden Husks.

Smithing Stones 1 & 2 (normal weapons up to +6)

Defeat the boss in the “Crystal Tunnel of Raya Lucaria” in Liurnia. For faster, consistent damage, the guide specifically recommends using a blunt weapon like a hammer.

Smithing Stones 3 & 4 (normal weapons up to +12)

Enter the “Sealed Tunnel” on the Altus Plateau, behind a small lake. Early in the tunnel (near the Site of Grace), the Klangperle is in a chest close to the beginning. You reach it by rolling through a pile of debris.

Smithing Stones 5 & 6 (normal weapons up to +18)

This Klangperle is in a ruins area rather than a tunnel. It’s found in the “Ruins of Zamor” near a staircase, located in the Berggipfel der Riesen (“Mountaintops of the Giants”) region. Access requires significant story progress, including using the Great Elevator of Rold. The Klangperle sits in a chest in the Ruins of Zamor area.

Smithing Stones 7 & 8 (normal weapons up to +24)

This one requires defeating a boss duo in “Crumbling Farum Azula,” at the “Dragon Temple Altar.” The nearest Site of Grace before the fight is “Dragon Temple.” Much of the area—up through the end-boss section—can only be reached later in the story.

Ancient Dragon Smithing Stones (normal weapons to +25)

No Klangperle exists to buy this tier. Ancient Dragon Smithing Stones must be found in the world. One example location given is at the “Church of Rest” on the Mountaintops of the Giants.

Somber Smithing Stones tiers: Klangperlen locations for special weapon upgrades

Somber Smithing Stones correspond to special weapons and upgrade tiers. As with Smithing Stones, each Husks tier is unlocked by delivering the matching Klangperle.

Somber Smithing Stones 1 & 2 (special weapons up to +2)

Defeat a boss in the “Crystal Tunnel of Sellia” in Caelid. The Mine is in Caelid, and the guide notes that if you thoroughly explore the “Burning Ruins of the Dragon” area in Limgrave, you can find a way to travel there early—though the boss can be difficult.

Somber Smithing Stones 3 & 4 (special weapons up to +4)

This Klangperle requires a duo boss fight. Again, a blunt weapon is recommended. The end boss is found in the “Altus Tunnel” located in the middle of the Altus Plateau.

Somber Smithing Stones 5 & 6 (special weapons up to +6)

Grab the Klangperle behind the “First Church of Marika” on the Mountaintops of the Giants. Take the exit opposite Marika’s statue. Outside, you’ll find the Klangperle on a corpse in the snow. The area requires you to be well advanced in the story.

Somber Smithing Stones 7 & 8 (special weapons up to +8)

This Klangperle is in “Crumbling Farum Azula,” found on a corpse near the Site of Grace called “Storm Balcony.” Like other parts of this region, access to the large portion of the area—including the end-boss section—is limited until later in the story.

Somber Smithing Stones 9 (special weapons up to +9)

Also in Crumbling Farum Azula: the Klangperle is at an altar guarded by a beastman. The guide instructs you to start from the Site of Grace “By the Great Bridge.” After activating the elevator, ride down and keep to the right.

Ancient Dragon Somber Smithing Stones (special weapons to +10)

These can’t be bought via the Twin Maiden Husks either. They must be found, and one route mentioned is completing Latenna’s questline to obtain an Ancient Dragon Somber Smithing Stone.

Elden Ring availability and the upgrade system’s impact

Elden Ring released on February 25, 2022 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. It received a score of 94 in a GamePro test.

With the Twin Maiden Husks now tied directly to Klangperle collection, players are weighing how much the system encourages exploring optional bosses and regions versus simply progressing through the main story.
