Nokron, Eternal City
The fallen city revealed when Radahn's star falls in Limgrave. Fingerslayer Blade, Mimic Tear and the Night's Sacred Ground are hidden here.
- Suggested level: 60–80
Bosses
- Mimic Tear: A silver copy of you in Nokron, reached after Radahn's star opens the city. It copies your current gear, so swap to something you can outlast; it also leaves two Larval Tears.
- Regal Ancestor Spirit: Light the six braziers around Nokron to open its arena at Hallowhorn Grounds. It heals itself mid-fight, so keep the pressure on with Fire or Holy.
- Valiant Gargoyles: Two gargoyles in the Siofra Aqueduct; the second joins partway through. Bring a spirit ash or summon to split them, and win to reach the Great Waterfall Basin grace.
