Nokron, Eternal City, is a hidden underground region accessible after defeating Starscourge Radahn. This mysterious city is crucial for advancing certain NPC questlines, particularly Ranni's, as it holds key items like the Fingerslayer Blade. Navigating Nokron involves traversing its unique architecture and encountering its distinct inhabitants.
Finding Nokron
To access Nokron, Eternal City, you must first progress through Ranni's questline:
- Find Iji in the Kingsrealm Ruins, southwest of Caria Manor in Liurnia Lake.
- Proceed through Caria Manor and head northeast past the Dragon to Ranni's Rise. Talk to Ranni. If she kicks you out, speak to Rogier then return to Ranni.
- Talk to Iji, Seluvis, and Blaidd, then Ranni, then Blaidd again.
- Meet Blaidd near a wind-circle east of the Mistwood Ruins in the Siofra River Well area.
- Return to Ranni's Rise and speak with Seluvis in the southwest tower to receive a letter of recommendation.
- Go to Waypoint Ruins (east of the lake in Limgrave), defeat the boss, and give the letter to Sellen.
- Return to Blaidd in the Siofra River Well to discuss your next steps.
- Meet Blaidd at Redmane Castle in Caelid before fighting Starscourge Radahn.
- After defeating Radahn, talk to Blaidd again.
Entering Nokron
After defeating Radahn:
- Return to the Mistwood Ruins and find a message.
- Talk to Iji.
- Go to the Forlorn Hound Evergaol (where you found Darriwil) and free Blaidd.
- Talk to Iji again.
- Go back to Mistwood Ruins and head southeast. You will find a massive crater leading to Nokron.
Once inside Nokron, traverse the zone to find the Fingerslayer Blade. This item is essential for Ranni's quest. Return the blade to Ranni to receive a Carian Inverted Statue, which can be used on the pedestal in the Carian Study Hall (east of Liurnia Lake).
