This guide shows all Elden Ring Somber Smithing Stone Locations. Somber Smithing Stones are used to upgrade legendary gear (special armaments). These stones come in multiple tiers, indicated by the number in brackets behind their name. The higher your weapon tier, the higher the Somber Smithing Stone tier needs to be to perform the next upgrade. For example, a “Somber Smithing Stone [4]” can upgrade legendary gear from Level 3 to Level 4. Do note that legendary gear has fewer tiers than regular gear.
For normal gear upgrades, refer to Regular Smithing Stone Locations.

Oseari says
I don’t remember the exact amount but:
South of the bridge where you fight the first night cavalier (the bridge located south of the Agheel Lake North site of grace), there is a corpse containing somber smithing stone [1].
North of the swamp ruins where you find the meteorite staff and the rock sling spell, there is a canyon full of the “purple light rock worm things”, at the end of that canyon there is a corpse containing somber smithing stone [5].
