Districts & Landmarks of Nokron

Navigating Nokron requires vertical descent from the Mistwood crater in East Limgrave down into the upper ceilings of the ancient underground world.

1. The Starfall Crater & Crumbling Rooftops

The entrance begins high above the city roofs. Players must navigate floating debris, shattered stone towers, and narrow ledges populated by Silver Tears that take the shapes of spikes and silver oozes. Descending through the shattered dome of the church leads to the primary entry grace: Nokron, Eternal City.

2. The Great Aqueduct Bridge (Mimic Tear Arena)

Beyond the first courtyard lies an imposing stone bridge spanning the subterranean void. Passing through the fog gate initiates the confrontation with the Mimic Tear. Once vanquished, the gate opens to the verdant northern plateau known as the Ancestral Woods.

3. Ancestral Woods & Hallowhorn Grounds

Unlike the gothic stone structures of the city, the Ancestral Woods is an overgrown subterranean forest teeming with Ancestral Followers, spirit animals, and giant singing shamans.

Scattered throughout the woods are Six Sacred Flame Pillars. Interacting with each pillar ignites a flame at the steps of the Hallowhorn Grounds. Once all six are lit, the towering horned remains awaken into the majestic Regal Ancestor Spirit.

4. Night's Sacred Ground

Accessible by dropping off the cliffs south of the Ancestral Woods Site of Grace and leaping across the ornate gothic rooftops. This is the holy heart of Nokron, guarded by lethal Nox Swordstresses riding giant silver ants, and Silver Tears taking the shape of giant rolling iron spheres.

At the end of the grand boulevard sits a monumental petrified skeleton seated upon an immense stone throne. Beneath this throne lies the sealed chest containing the Fingerslayer Blade.

5. Siofra Aqueduct & The Coffin of Deeproot

Past the cliffs to the northeast lies the towering Siofra Aqueduct, where phantom waterfalls plunge into the abyss. After defeating the twin Valiant Gargoyles at the base of the falls, a stone coffin rests near the edge. Stepping inside transports the Tarnished upstream into the roots of the Erdtree: Deeproot Depths.
