In this guide, you will learn how to get to Nokstella, Eternal City while playing Elden Ring.
Nokstella, the Eternal City is a hidden location that guarantees valuable resources, and it’s very hard to find.
How to Find Nokstella, Eternal City in Elden Ring
To be able to get to Nokstella, players will need to follow Ranni’s questline. She is a witch who can be found at Three Sisters, the sub-region of Liurnia of the Lakes. But before that, you will have to reach a dungeon called Caria Manor.
Enter the Caria Manor dungeon
Caria Manor can be found near the far northwest edge of Liurnia of the Lakes. From the Northern Liurnia Lake Shore site of grace, head north through the Kingsrealm Ruins to reach the Road to the Manor site of grace.
After making your way through the most of it, you will reach an oval platform that is surrounded by chairs. Here, you will face your first boss – Royal Knight Loretta. After beating her, head directly north from the site of grace. You will find a small exit that will help you proceed to the Three Sisters.
Ranni’s Rise
Behind the Caria Manor is Ranni’s Rise. It will be guarded by Dragon Adula. Luckily for you, you won’t have to beat this boss. The dragon will leave the fight midway once he loses half of his HP.
Now, you will need to go all the way to the top. Interact with Ranni, and she will give you a quest. You will need to get the Fingerslayer Blade for her in order to get to Nokstella, Eternal City in Elden Ring.
Defeat Starscourge Radahn
The Fingerslayer Blade can be found at Nokron, Eternal City. To unlock this area, you must first defeat Starscourge Radahn, one of the strongest Demi-God bosses in the game.
To get to Starscourge Radahn, you must first visit a Site of Grace called Impassable Greatbridge in Caelid. Nearby, you will find a portal that will allow you to enter Castle Redmane where you can speak with Blaidd.
From there, you can enter a tournament by speaking with a man standing at the top of a flight of stairs which is attached to a stone archway. He will give you a brief history lesson after which you must leave the castle and find a portal located next to a river on the edge of the grounds. This will teleport you directly to Radahn where you will arrive at the Wailing Dunes.
Nokron, Eternal City
Once you’re here, you will need to keep descending until you reach the bottom. You will have to defeat a couple of bosses in the process. The Fingerslayer Blade will be located in a chest in one of the buildings.
Now, you will need to return to Ranni to complete the quest. She will reward you with the Carian Inverted Statue. You will need to go to the tower that is north of Ranni’s tower to reach Renna’s Rise.
Nokstella, Eternal City
Climb to the top of the tower and you will see a Waygate. They are portals that can teleport you to a specific place. You will be able to travel to Nokstella using this portal. It will transport you to Ainsel River Main.
From here, the player must go south through the Uhl Palace Ruins and then west through a tunnel with Giant Ants. After exiting the cave, you will reach Nokstella, Eternal City.
