How to get Cracked Pots in Elden Ring

Cracked Pots are a valuable item in Elden Ring. These are one-half of the materials needed to craft certain cracked pot items, such as Fire Pots, which are throwable bombs. Cracked Pots regenerate when the item is used, but you can only craft as many cracked pot items as you have Cracked Pots. Here’s how to get Cracked Pots in Elden Ring.

The first three Cracked Pots you can find are buyable from Kalé at the Church of Elleh — these cost 300 Runes each. Merchants that you discover later on throughout Elden Ring will also carry various assortments of Cracked Pots, while you may also find them sporadically throughout the game world. It is worth searching every nook and cranny in the game to discover these items.

Additional Cracked Pots can be found:

• One Cracked Pot can be purchased for 600 Runes from the violin-playing Nomadic Merchant, located at the Site of Grace on the eastern side of the Saintsbridge.
• One Cracked Pot can be discovered in the Groveside Cave, located due north of the Church of Elleh in the cliffs north of the forest. The cave is inhabited by several wolves.
• One Cracked Pot can be purchased for 600 Runes from the Nomadic Merchant at the Castle Morne Rampart, in the Weeping Peninsula.
• One Cracked Pot can be found in Caria Manor. Right outside the Royal Knight Loretta boss room, head through the open door to the north. You will have to safely jump down some wooden planks to reach the ground. There are several Pot monsters waiting for you. Dispatch them or avoid them — to the east is where you’ll find the Cracked Pot.
• One Cracked Pot can be purchased from the vendor at the crossroads along the Caelid Highway (South) for 1500 Runes.
• A whopping four Cracked Pots can be found in the Auriza Side Tomb, located beneath the Dragon Tree Sentinel fight to the north-east of the Altus Plateau. You will have to defeat two Giant Pot enemies in one room, and then solve the puzzle of the dungeon to get the other two from Small Pot enemies.

The most basic item you can craft with a Cracked Pot is the Fire Pot, which requires one Cracked Pot, one Mushroom, and one Smoldering Butterfly. Cracked Pots, as mentioned above, are replenishable items — once you use one of your Cracked Pot items, the Cracked Pot frees up for crafting again. This essentially means that, so long as you have the materials on hand, you can refill up your bombs or other Cracked Pot items at will.

Note: This guide will be updated with further Cracked Pot entries as exploration throughout Elden Ring continues.
