Add to Watchlist

Mines are locations where you can get Smithing Stones in Elden Ring Nightreign. Check out where the mines are located and what to do in the mines!

Mine Locations

All Three Mines have Fixed Locations

Mines Icon Mines Icon

There are three Mines in Limveld that have fixed locations in every expedition. However, some may disappear due to Shifting Earth events that change huge parts of the map.

The enemies found in each mining tunnel are also the same in every run, so you can prepare in advance for how to deal with the mini bosses for the next run.

Mines Have Two Entrances

Mines Map

All mines always have two connected entry points. You can press the D-Pad Down button while the map is open to see the path that leads to the other end of the mine.

What to Do in the Mines?

Obtain Guaranteed Smithing Stones 1 and 2

Loot in the mines guarantees a Smithing Stone 1 drop, so scour the area and open treasure chests to find Smithing Stones. There are mini-bosses found in all of the mine tunnels drop Smithing Stone 2s.

These three mini-bosses, found in three separate mines, drop Dormant Power orbs that include a guaranteed Smithing Stone 2 upon defeat. They can be taken on in the early game, but make sure you're at least level 3 or 4 to increase your chances of winning.
