Hefty Cracked Pots are scattered throughout the Realm of Shadow in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. However, keep in mind that they are limited in number; there are 10 components in total, and some locations hold multiple of them.
Hefty Cracked Pots are used to store crafted Hefty Throwable Pots, which deal damage and debuff enemies. After you use one of them, the Pot will return to your inventory, but it will be empty. You can always craft a new one after leaving a fight. It's important to note that you can wear the Jar helmet to increase the damage of throwing Pots by 15%.
