How to find all Elden Ring Bell Bearings for Smithing Stone farming and expand the Twin Maiden Husk's stock

Visiting all Elden Ring Bell Bearing locations across the map will expand the Twin Maiden Husks' shop, letting you buy some of the best items in the game. The main advantage is that, with the right Bell Bearings, you can buy or farm infinite Elden Ring Smithing Stones, helping you quickly enhance any weapon if you've got the resources to pay. Although, these Bell Bearings aren't always easy to find in Elden Ring, and they're often hidden in optional areas off the beaten path - and some can even be collected from dead merchants. So to help you find all these handy items, we've listed all the Bell Bearing locations in Elden Ring and marked them on a convenient map below.

Elden Ring Bell Bearings number sixteen in total, spread across the whole of the Lands Between and each one unlocking unique items for sale in the Twin Maiden Husk's shop. We've listed all their locations below, as well as the stock they unlock. Just match them to the map above!

Of course, the best feature here is that you can buy infinite numbers of Smithing Stones, though they're not cheap, especially the better ones. However, it'll save you time exploring the world trying to find them, and radically open up the opportunities you have to upgrade various weapons.

There are also no Bell Bearings for the two best tiers of Smithing Stones - the Ancient Dragon and Somber Ancient Dragon variants, used to bring weapons to either +25 or +10, depending on their type. Likewise, there are no Bell Bearings for the Great Ghost Glovewort or Great Grave Glovewort, used to max out the level of your Spirit Summons. These are all limited items - you'll only ever find a certain amount in each campaign, so you'll need to be careful about how you use them.

It's also the case that any special merchants who are killed (by story, by enemies, or even by player's hands) will nearly always drop a Bell Bearing where they stood. This can then be brought to the Twin Husks to effectively recreate the dead merchant's stock, so you can still buy those items even after they're gone.

Any Bell Bearings you find should be brought to the Twin Maiden Husks in the Roundtable Hold, a pair of desiccated figures leaning against each other in the dark room just past the hallway outside Ofnir's library. They'll have a very limited stock that occasionally expands on beating certain bosses, but you can speak to them at any point to offer Bell Bearings in your inventory. These little balls permanently expand their stock, and don't worry about losing the Bell Bearings - they have no function other than this, so you should always hand them over.
