Mimic Tear
The Mimic Tear is often the first boss encountered in Nokron. After crossing a bridge, you will find a fog gate. Upon entering, you must battle this boss, which takes the form of your character, replicating your appearance, weapons, armor, and Ashes of War at the time of entry. Defeating it rewards you with 10,000 Runes, 2 Larval Tears (used for respec), and the Silver Tear Mask. Some Silver Tears in the area may also 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 Nokron's Hallowhorn Grounds, you must first light six altars. Upon victory, you will receive 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, start from the Aqueduct-facing Cliffs site of grace, north of Hallowhorn Grounds, and descend into the ruins below. This is a duo-boss fight where a second Valiant Gargoyle joins when the first reaches half health. The second gargoyle wields a twinblade. It is advised to defeat the first gargoyle first before focusing on the second. Be wary of poisonous vomit on the ground. Rewards for this fight include 32,000 Runes, the Gargoyle’s Greatsword, and the Gargoyle’s Twinblade.
Dragonkin Soldier
This boss resides in a hidden area of Nokron, accessible only through a teleport waygate on the eastern side of the Siofra River region. To find the teleporter, ascend a large fallen stone column (avoiding archers) and locate the waygate atop the ruins. The Dragonkin Soldier can also be found in the Lake of Rot. Defeating it in Nokron/Siofra River yields 16,000 Runes and the Dragon Halberd.
