Elden Ringis the spiritual successor to FromSoftware’sDark Soulsseries and continues the tradition of deadly bosses, limited items, and drop-in multiplayer. However, one ofElden Ring’s biggest changes to the classicDark Soulsformula is its significant expansion of the crafting and item system. Players can harvest materials to make all kinds of equipment for themselves in the Lands Between, including life-saving Boluses.
Boluses are a range of consumables that protect players fromElden Ring’s worst status effects. There are seven Boluses in total, and the three that are most powerful all useCrystal Cave Mossas a crafting ingredient. These are the Preserving, Clarifying, and Rejuvenating Boluses, which cure Scarlet Rot, Madness, and Death Blight respectively. There are manyregions and enemies in the Lands Betweenthat constantly threaten these deadly status effects, and players may need to farm Crystal Cave Moss to create enough Boluses.

Where to Find Crystal Cave Moss in Elden Ring
As players might expect from the name, Crystal Cave Moss is found primarily in caves. Specifically, they’re most often found in caves with some kind of magical influence. There are five recommended caves for finding large amounts of Crystal Cave Moss, two inLiurnia of the Lakes, two in Caelid, and one in the Altus Plateau:
Crystal Cave Moss respawns whenever a player dies or rests at one ofElden Ring’s Sites of Grace. This would make the Moss easy to farm, but, unfortunately, enemies also respawn at these triggers. While high-leveled players should have little trouble cutting through the earlier caves repeatedly, the best place to farm Crystal Cave Moss doesn’t require any fighting at all.
Where to Farm Crystal Cave Moss in Elden Ring
to unlock this farming method, players will need to have reachedElden Ring’s Caelid region. This Scarlet-Rot-infested land is best explored in the mid-game, and contains several important landmarks like the Church of the Plague.
Heading north up the hill from the Church’s Site of Grace, players will find a large headstone guarded by a battle mage. Directly behind the headstone is an illusory wall in the cliff, which leads to the Sellia Hideaway Catacomb.
The Sellia Hideaway Catacomb has a Crystal Cave Moss deposit within a few steps of its Site of Grace, meaning players can simply harvest it, rest, and repeat. Although this method isn’t exactly themost exciting thing to do inElden Ring, it will allow players to farm a huge amount of Crystal Cave Moss with very little effort.
