Where to find Land Octopus Ovary in Elden Ring – and what it does

Land Octopus Ovary is a crafting material in Elden Ring that is included in a range of item recipes. It can be a chore trying to collect it, though, as some of the enemies that hold it can be painfully difficult to defeat. Thankfully, there are two locations that make acquiring the material a breeze.

As expected, Land Octopus Ovary is most often found after defeating and pillaging octopuses. The creatures come in various sizes, but we recommend fighting the smaller, much weaker ones for the material. Of course, an ovary is not guaranteed to drop from beating these. That said, you will have the highest chances of finding one from the octopuses in Liurnia of the Lakes or those just north of Coastal Cave in Limgrave (as marked below).

The organ plays a key role in crafting items that temporarily increase your Robustness, a stat that factors in your chances of immunity to blood loss and frostbite status effects. These items include Staunching Boluses (which only cures blood loss), Invigorating Cured Meat, and Invigorating White Cured Meat. It is worth noting that the Invigorating White Cured Meat is the most valuable of the three, as its temporary boost in Robustness lasts at least twice as long as the other two items.

If you’re looking to craft Invigorating White Cured Meat, be sure to unlock its recipe first by grabbing the Nomadic Warrior’s Cookbook [2], which can be bought from Merchant Kale in Limgrave’s Church of Elleh for 500 Runes.
