Crystal Tears in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC are a fundamental mechanic that you will encounter in the NG+ mode after you’ve completed the main storyline of the base game the first time.
You will come across some new Crystal Tears in the expansion as well, so here’s everything you need to know about it.

How to use Crystal Tears in Elden Ring
To use a Crystal Tear, you’ll need to use it with a Flask of Wondorous Physick at a Site of Grace. You will be able to mix two Crystal Tears together at any given time, and when you consume them, you’ll get bonuses from both the Tears.
However, it’s worth noting that the bonuses offered by these items last for a limited time, so plan your fights accordingly.
Once the effect wears off, you will have to travel to a Site of Grace again and mix these in the Flask of Wondrous Physick before you can consume them again. Just like the Scadutree Fragments, using the right combination of these items will help make the game easier for you.
