Finding Ancient Dragon Smithing Stones and Dragon Dark Smithing Stones

In Elden Ring, weapons that are upgraded to the final level are also called Godslayer weapons. For this, you need special Dragon Smithing Stones that cannot be bought anywhere.

There is only a limited number per run. So you have to start a new run each time you run out of Ancient Dragon Smithing Stones.

Where is the most powerful upgrade material? You can find these stones mainly in the later areas of the game. They are particularly present in areas like the Grave Mounds of the Giants, the Forbidden Lands, and also in the Fallen Farum Azula. There are also special enemies that drop them.

A YouTube video about Dark Dragon Stones comes from RageGamingVideos and shows you some locations for Ancient Dragon Smithing Stones.

However, there is no way to farm these stones. You can only obtain them if you dare to go into NG+ and revisit all the locations of these materials.
