How to Get and Farm Smithing Stones

Purchase From the Twin Maiden Husk

The most efficient way to get or “farm” Smithing Stones is by purchasing them from the Twin Maiden Husk.

How to Use Smithing Stones

Strengthen Weapons at the Smithing Table

You can use the Smithing Stones that you have collected to strengthen your weapons at a smithing table or at a blacksmith. This increases the weapon's damage output, so be sure to upgrade your armament before facing a boss.
