Where to Find Elder Eotan Hearts in Nightingale

Discover how to track and defeat the Elder Eotan in Nightingale. This guide covers crafting the Tracking Legend Enchantment, locating the boss, and effective combat tips for its fiery tree-like attacks.

Alright, so you're looking to snag some Elder Eotan Hearts in Nightingale? It's a bit of a trek, but totally doable. First things first, you'll need to unlock the Hunt Realm Card from your Abeyance realm. Make sure you've met the comfort, hope, and gear scope requirements for it – your quest log should have the deets on those.

Once that's sorted, it's time to get your tracking game on. The best way to do this is by crafting the Tracking Legend Enchantment. You can snag the recipe for this from the Desert Provisioner Essence Trader. Head over to that world, and this enchantment will make finding bosses way, way easier going forward.

After you've got the enchantment, you'll need to craft it at the Refined Enchanter’s Focus. Slap it onto a tool you don't mind dedicating to this, like a skinning knife, since it's also great for tracking other fabled creatures.

Now, gear up and head to the Forest Hunt Realm. When you use the Track Legend spell, you'll see a golden line appear, sort of like a 'follow-me' trail, pointing you in the right direction. Keep in mind these bosses like to roam, so you might need to recast the spell occasionally to stay on track. You'll know you're getting close when a boss HP bar pops up on your screen.

Elder Eotan Boss Tips

When you finally come face-to-face with the Elder Eotan, remember you're fighting a giant tree! Fire damage is your best friend here, so load up your weapons or ammo with it. Axes are also super effective – it's a tree, after all, they don't appreciate axes! Expect a lot of vine attacks with thorns that'll try to trap and damage you. Oh, and watch out for those attacks that can fling you around; you really don't want to get yeeted off a cliff edge if you're fighting near one.

If you need a little extra oomph to take the boss down, consider equipping cards that boost your ranged weapon damage or improve stamina efficiency. The Weighted Card is great for melee, or if you've unlocked the Hunt worlds, you can grab recipes for the Outlaw (Swamp Hunt), Blunderbuss (Desert Hunt), or Marksman (Forest Hunt) cards from their respective essence traders.

And hey, if you're really struggling, don't be afraid to team up! Apex Hunts are tough, and you can invite friends to your realm to tackle them together. Just invite them to your party and set off on the hunt.

That's pretty much it for tracking and taking down the Elder Eotan. With these tips, you should be able to get those Elder Eotan Hearts and continue on your questline to unlock the Watch and dive into the end-game content. Good luck out there!
