While Elden Ring allows you to choose a starting class archetype and level up by increasing the stats and attributes you feel are most important, you may decide later in your playthrough that you wish you had taken another path. Luckily, it is possible to find a way to re-allocate all of your stat points to respec your character - but it won't be too easy. This page includes information on how to unlock the feature, and what is required to use it.

Defeat Rennala at the Academy of Raya Lucaria

In order to unlock the feature to reset all of your stat allocation and respec your character, you need to journey to the second main region in the Lands Between, the Liurnia of the Lakes area, and infiltrate the Academy of Raya Lucaria. Once inside, make your way to the top and defeat Rennala, Queen of the Moon, the main boss of this Legacy Dungeon.

After defeating her, she will become an NPC you can talk to in the Grand Library, and present you with two different options: Rebirth, and Cosmetics. Cosmetics will allow you to completely alter any part of your character's appearance - including body type and physique, while Rebirth will give you a clean slate to re-allocate your attribute points and effectively respec your character.

Where to Get Larval Tears

The ability to respec your character won't be free however, as you will need to hand over a Larval Tear each time you wish to respec your character. Larval Tears are exceedingly rare, and can either be bought from very hidden merchants, found on bodies in secret locations, or from defeating certain types of Mimics. These mimics can be found hiding as ordinary enemies all over the Lands Between - but once defeated, they will shapeshift in a cloud of smoke into an entirely different (and often extremely tough) enemy, before you can claim the Larval Tear by defeating their second form. The quests involving Ranni the Witch also take you to Nokron and Nokstella, two areas that are full of them.

There are also certain merchants that can sell them for a hefty price:

• The Abandoned Merchant in the Siofra River Well sells a Larval Tear for 3,000 Runes (he's hiding up the scaffolding in the middle of the ruins in a cave above the giant Miranda Plant.
