Elden Ring's Silver Tear Mask is a helmet that gives the Tarnished a big increase to Arcane(an addition of eight points) while lowering their physical attack power by five percent. It is a must-have for players with Arcane-centered builds. According to its item description, the mask was created from a formless Silver Tear.

This Elden Ring mask is dropped by an optional boss located at the Nokron, Eternal City. Getting there is a journey, as it requires defeating Starscourge Radahn , one of the harder demigod bosses of the game. However, going to the Nokron Eternal City is a requirement to complete Ranni's questline as well.

Getting To The Mimic Tear Boss In Nokron

Follow Ranni's Questline

The very first step to getting this helmet is to defeat Starscourge Radahn. Once that happens, a meteor is going to fall upon the Lands Between, opening a way to Nokron, Eternal City.

The meteor lands to thewest of Fort Haight, south of the Mistwood Ruins. Climb downwards, and the Tarnished will end up at the Nokron, Eternal City Outskirts.

The goal then is to get to the main part of the city, which is straightforward going northeast. Eventually, the Tarnished will get to the Nokron Eternal City site of Grace. They'll come to a temple ruin and find a mist door. Beyond that mist door is the Mimic Tear Boss. It will spawn from the center of the arena once the Tarnished walks forward.

Mimic Tear Boss Fight

Mimic Tear fight.

The Mimic Tear boss is a reflection of the Tarnished, so its abilities are dependent on the player's stats and equipment. One way to cheese the fight is to go through the mist with no equipment and then equip weapons and gear after the Mimic appears with nothing on. Another tip is to use Ashes.

The Mimic Tear will not just have the Tarnished's equipment but also spells and consumables that are actively being used. This boss functions the same as the Mimic Tear summon you will later acquire.

Once defeated, the Mimic Tear drops two larval tears, 10000 Runes, and the Silver Tear Mask. The mask is not part of a set, but players have found that it looks best with the Mausoleum Knight Armor , Loretta's Royal Knight Armor, and Alberich's Robe . The mask can also be used by non-Arcane builds just to meet certain requirements for incantations.
