Raya Lucaria Crystal Tunnel Walkthrough
From the Grace, head straight and activate the Stake of Marika to make the summoning pool functional. On your right, you can find two Sorcerer Diggers guarding a chest. Deal with them and open the chest to find Somber Smithing Stone [2]. You can also acquire the Somber Smithing Stone [3] behind the statue.
Head down the left path now, and you will find several Glinstone Diggers. They are quite weak and are focusing on digging, so you can take them out one by one. There are a lot of crafting materials and Smithing Stones that can be found on the walls or corpses, so be on the lookout if you are in need of them.
Head southeast through the doorway to reach another area filled with Diggers and more materials that you can pick up. Once you have explored the room, head down the staircase and head northeast to reach an elevator that goes down. Go straight through the pathway, and you will come out into an area with a small staircase on the left and a wooden beam leading forward. Go across the beam and deal with the Diggers in the area. There should be an elevator here on the left, which is a shortcut back to this location from the Site of Grace.
After unlocking the shortcut, head through the doorway from before to encounter a Marionette. The room on the right has a few Smithing Stones that you can pick up and head back out to proceed through the path on the left. More Marionette enemies will fall from above that you will have to deal with. There are two more doorways here; the one on the right leads to a room with Marionette's enemies and a chest, inside which you can find the 
Crystal Knife. The path on the left is the main path, which leads you into a room filled with multiple Diggers. Deal with them and head through the left pathway to find a corpse with the 
Shatter Earth sorcery.
Head down the staircase to reach the final elevator, which takes you down to the Fog gate.
Crystalian Ringblade Boss Fight
Once you traverse the mist, you will encounter the 
Crystalian Ringblade (Raya Lucaria Crystal Tunnel) boss, who only has a few attacks in its arsenal. The first attack is the small disc throw, where he throws two discs one after the other, which can be avoided by dodging to either side. The second attack is where the Crystalian starts to spin multiple times and can knock you back if you are hit.
The final attack is where it throws the large Ringblade it is carrying towards you. This attack has a very easy tell, allowing you to dodge it just before it comes in your general direction.
A good strategy is to bait the Ringblade throw and dash toward the boss getting free hits in before it starts spinning. The boss can also be staggered and knocked back when using heavy weapons, making them a valuable asset in this fight.
After defeating defeating the Elden Ring boss, you will get the 
Smithing-Stone Miner's Bell Bearing [1].
