Nokron

Discover Nokron, Eternal City in Elden Ring Nightreign. Learn how to find it after beating General Radahn, conquer the Mimic Tear and Regal Ancestor bosses, and find key items like the Fingerslayer Blade.

Nokron is an optional area in Elden Ring Nightreign that offers valuable side quests and ruins for leveling up. While there are other methods to farm ruins, this guide focuses on navigating Nokron.

Finding Nokron

To access Nokron, you must first defeat General Radahn. After his defeat, teleport to the Site of Grace near Fort Haight. Mount Torrent and follow the signs, heading downwards until you reach a large cave. Entering this cave will lead you to Nokron, Eternal City, an underground area on the world map.

Mimic Tear (BOSS)

After traversing rooftops and descending, you'll encounter blob enemies. Continue until you reach an archway leading to the Mimic Tear mini-boss. This boss is a replica of your character. A level of around 70 is recommended for a manageable fight.

Ancestral Woods

In this area, you need to light all the pillars with fire. Along the way, you can find items such as the Ancestral Horned Helm and the Ancestral Infant Head. After lighting the pillars, you can fight the Regal Ancestor boss by touching its head, which opens a fog door to its arena.

Regal Ancestor (BOSS)

This boss battle is challenging; leveling up to around 80+ is advised. Sorcerers or players with strong ranged options will find this fight easier. The Ancestral Regal Spirit can heal, increasing the difficulty. Summoning allies is recommended, particularly high-leveled ones like the Knight Engval, Oleg, or Lateena. Lateena, even at +4, can be effective from a distance if not targeted early by the guardian. You can support Lateena with ranged attacks using Bone Darts or fire bombs, as the boss is weak to fire damage. After defeating the boss, proceed to Night's Sacred Grounds.

Night's Sacred Grounds

Use a Stonesword Key on the imp seal door to find the Mimic Tear spirit ashes summon, a highly useful item. Descend the stairs, avoiding the giant metallic ball, and head towards the next Site of Grace. Running straight ahead from here will help you dodge enemies and lead you to a treasure chest containing the Fingerslayer Blade Key, essential for Ranni's Questline.

Siofra Aqueduct

This is an optional area that leads to a boss fight with the Valiant Gargoyles.
