In Elden Ring, players will face numerous dangers in the Lands Between and will need to utilize various tools for protection. These tools come in different forms, such as weapons, armor, and spells. One particularly useful tool for players, regardless of their preferred playstyle, is the Physik Flask.
The Physik Flask in Elden Ring is a special potion that gets refilled when players rest at a Site of Grace. However, unlike the fixed effects of the Flasks of Crimson and Cerulean Tears, the Physik Flask allows players to personalize its effects by adding up to two "Crystal Tears" to it. These Tears offer different benefits, allowing players to create a customized flask that matches their playstyle and provides them with the most valuable advantages.
The Physik Flask and Crimson Crystal Tears
The Physik Flask can be obtained at the Third Church of Marika in Limgrave, along with the Crimson Crystal Tear. When the Physik Flask is used, the Crimson Crystal Tear restores 50% of the player's HP, providing a powerful healing option. Another Crimson Crystal Tear can be obtained in the Capital Outskirts, protected by enemies beneath a Minor Erdtree.
By stacking multiple Crimson Crystal Tears, players can create a Physik Flask that guarantees full healing when used. This feature serves as an excellent emergency option for players exploring hazardous areas.
Greenspill Crystal Tear and Spiked Cracked Tear
To acquire these Crystal Tears, venture south from Limgrave's Third Church of Marika into the Mistwood region. In this area, a towering Minor Erdtree can be found, with a basin at its base that holds the Tears.
The Greenspill Crystal Tear enhances the player's maximum stamina, proving highly advantageous for stamina-intensive builds, particularly those utilizing heavy weapons. Moreover, it serves as a valuable resource for players who often find themselves pushing their limits and depleting their stamina rapidly.
The Spiked Cracked Tear is an incredibly potent asset that amplifies the effectiveness of charged attacks. Given the immense advantages of utilizing Charged Attacks against formidable adversaries - causing enemies to stagger and enabling critical strikes - this Tear can indeed provide immense aid. Its utility is especially pronounced when wielded in conjunction with heavy weapons, imparting an additional boost to their impact.
Crimsonburst Crystal Tear and Opaline Bubbletear
(Note: The placeholder must be kept and included in the output)
To obtain this pair of Crystal Tears, adventurers must journey to the Weeping Peninsula's Minor Erdtree and vanquish its guardian, the Erdtree Avatar. These Avatars are particularly susceptible to fire, making it possible to rapidly deplete their health. Therefore, those who possess sufficient faith could consider employing spells like Catch Flame, which can greatly facilitate the defeat of the Erdtree Avatar.
The Crimsonburst Crystal Tear grants the player a health regeneration effect of 7HP per second for 3 minutes. This seemingly modest amount can greatly impact prolonged combat situations, while also aiding in the reactivation of the Ritual Sword and Ritual Shield Talismans after sustaining damage.
The Opaline Bubbletear serves as an outstanding resource for bolstering player resilience. It forms a defensive shield that can withstand a single attack before shattering. However, if a shield with 100% damage negation successfully blocks the attack, the protective bubble remains intact. This enables players to utilize guard counters without jeopardizing their emergency shield.
