Another labyrinthine city awaits us in Nokstella, and it’s a worthwhile detour.
Here’s how to find it and get through it.
Nokstella, the Eternal City in Elden Ring, is a hidden place in the underworld deep belowLiurnia.
you’re able to reach this location by following the main part of theAinsel River.
Always follow the course of the river and through a cave full of ants.
Behind it you will discover the entrance to the Eternal City.
On the right, there’s also a Nox Swordstress riding a giant ant.
Next to it grows1x Ghost Glovewort (7).
In the building to the north-west, you’ll discover some snails guarding1x Celestial Dewas well.
As soon as things are quiet here, you’re able to explore the surrounding area.
Continue westwards through the ankle-high water.
Travel back up, first completing the area from which you came.
They are not guarding anything important.
This wraps up the right-hand side of Nokstella and everything that happens down by the water.
Head up the stairs to the west directly behind the Site of Grace.
The ornate treasure chest in the right-hand corner can be opened to reveal anAnt’s Skull Plate.
It’s worth killing, as it will drop aLarval Tearon defeat.
Now cross the bridge where the Silver Sphere rolled at you from.
Before the end, you will find a corpse with1x Golden Rune (10).
Here, the path forks again.
The doors only open again once it has been defeated.
It leaves behind aLarval Tear, and a treasure chest with1x Great Ghost Glovewort.
The only way left is up the stairs to the west.
Most of them should be killed by the lightning explosion in a chain reaction, though.
They transform into upright walking fighters and shouldn’t be taken lightly.
Defeat the Nox Monk next, and take theMoon of Nokstella talismanfrom the decorated treasure chest.
Then, continue behind the left exit.
You will come to a lift, which in turn is connected to the Nokstella area.
Take it down and collect theGolden Seed(which you could already see from below) and drop down.
This area is now almost completely explored, so just a little bit more to go now.
That’s it for this section.
Fast travel to theSite of Grace “Nokstella Waterfall Basin”.
Collect1x Smithing Stone (4)and1x Smithing Stone (5)and continue into the area behind.
The adjoining corridor leads to a lift, and this leads to the area below: theLake of Rot.
That’s everything you’re gonna wanna know about getting through Nokstella, the Eternal City.
