Mimic Tear
The Mimic Tear is likely the first boss encountered in Nokron. It resides behind a fog gate across a bridge shortly after entering the area. This boss takes the form of the player, replicating their appearance, weapons, armor, and Ashes of War at the moment of entry. Upon defeat, it yields 10,000 Runes, two Larval Tears (used for respec), and the Silver Tear Mask. Be aware that some Silver Tears in the area may transform into stronger humanoid forms after this fight.
Regal Ancestor Spirit
This boss is a more powerful version of the Ancestor Spirit found in Siofra River. To access its arena in the Hallowhorn Grounds, players must first light six altars scattered throughout Nokron. Defeating the Regal Ancestor Spirit rewards players with 24,000 Runes and the Remembrance of the Regal Ancestor, which can be exchanged for the Winged Greathorn or the Ancestral Spirit’s Horn.
Valiant Gargoyle & Valiant Gargoyle (Twinblade)
Located in the Siofra Aqueduct, which is accessible from Nokron. To reach it, players should find the Aqueduct-facing Cliffs site of grace, then descend into the ruins below. This is a duo boss fight where a second Valiant Gargoyle joins the fray when the first reaches half health. The second gargoyle wields a twinblade. The primary strategy is to defeat the first gargoyle quickly before focusing on the second. Players should also watch out for poisonous vomit on the ground. Victory grants 32,000 Runes, the Gargoyle’s Greatsword, and the Gargoyle’s Twinblade.
Dragonkin Soldier
This boss is found in a hidden section of Nokron, accessible only through a teleport waygate on the eastern side of the Siofra River region. The teleporter is located atop ruins reached by ascending a large fallen stone column, guarded by archers. Defeating the Dragonkin Soldier here rewards 16,000 Runes and the Dragon Halberd. The Dragonkin Soldier can also be encountered in the Lake of Rot.
