Elden Ring Nightreign Smithing Stones - A beast ambushing Nightfarers.

Puzzling out how to upgrade weapons in Elden Ring Nightreign is a little confusing, especially as its Smithing Stones work a little differently to how they did in the original game.

So here are the best Smithing Stone locations in Elden Ring Nightreign, plus how the whole weapon upgrade system works.
