Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone locations in Shadow of the Erdtree
We'll be updating this location guide with more information as soon as we get it, but right now, here are all the Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing stone locations we've found so far:
Ghostflame Dragon, Gravesite Plain
To the west of the Abandoned Ailing Village and Site of Grace 'Greatbridge, North' in Gravesite Plain, you'll find a Ghostflame Dragon asleep in the middle of a lake. Defeating this dragon will reward you with a Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone.
Ghostflame Dragon, Scadu Altus
Just when you thought one Ghostflame Dragon was enough, there's another to the south-west of Moorth Ruins in Scadu Altus before you get to the Fort of Reprimand. Like its Gravesite Plain counterpart, defeating this dragon will reward you with another Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone.
Ghostflame Dragon, Cerulean Coast
You'll find another Ghostflame Dragon down in the Cerulean Coast on the Southern Shore. It will ambush you from the sky as you ride towards the location of the Southern Shore Map Fragment. Like the others, you'll need to defeat it before you can claim its Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone as a reward.
These are all the Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stones we've found so far, and we'll update this guide with more information as soon as we have it.
