Discover all the key locations in Nokron, Eternal City, Elden Ring. Learn how to reach Hallowhorn Grounds, Night's Sacred Ground, Siofra Aqueduct, and more.
Alright, Tarnished! So you've finally made it to Nokron, Eternal City. It's a pretty wild place, right? Getting here is a big deal – you'll need to have taken down Starscourge Radahn first. Once you have, look for a massive hole in southeast Limgrave; that's your ticket down.
Nokron itself is broken down into a few main areas, and while it might seem small, it's packed with stuff. You've got four main sub-regions to explore and six Sites of Grace to discover, so keep your eyes peeled!
Nokron Sub-Regions
Here's a quick rundown of the main spots you'll find within Nokron:
- Hallowhorn Grounds: This is in the northeast part of Nokron. It's a familiar name if you've been to Siofra River, and you'll find Ancestral Followers hanging around here too. If you're feeling brave and want to take on a boss, you can light six altars in the area to unlock the Regal Ancestor Spirit fight. Just interact with the deer carcass in the ruins when you're done.
- Night’s Sacred Ground: This is a ruined castle area right in the middle of Nokron. You'll need to do some tricky jumping to get here, specifically by dropping down onto the rooftops below the Ancestral Woods Site of Grace. Watch out for Silver Tears and some tough knight enemies. The big prize here? The Mimic Tear Ashes, which lets you summon a copy of yourself! Super handy.
- Siofra Aqueduct: Located in the northern part of Nokron, you can only get here from Nokron itself. To reach it, you'll want to head to the Aqueduct-Facing Cliffs Site of Grace, which is up a cliff north of Hallowhorn Grounds. From there, it's a series of jumps down into the ruins. You'll run into a Lesser Crucible Knight early on, and if you keep pushing through the ruins, you'll eventually face the Valiant Gargoyles boss duo.
- Dragonkin Soldier’s Waygate: Okay, this one's a bit of a secret. It's not technically marked as a region *in* Nokron, but you can only get to it using a Waygate teleporter found in the Siofra River area. Head to the eastern side of Siofra River, find the big fallen stone column (watch out for those archers!), and climb up. The teleporter is waiting for you at the top of some ruins.
Nokron Sites of Grace
Don't forget to activate these Sites of Grace as you find them to make sure you don't have to trek all the way back:
- Ancestral Woods
- Aqueduct-Facing Cliffs
- Great Waterfall Basin
- Mimic Tear
- Night’s Sacred Grounds
- Nokron, Eternal City
Remember, you can get to a small, separate part of Nokron earlier via a teleporter in Siofra River that leads to the Dragonkin Soldier's area, but you won't be able to access the main city from there. Happy exploring!
