Nokron and Siofra Aqueduct

Down the crater to the city overhead: the Mimic Tear, Night's Sacred Ground, the northern Hallowhorn Grounds and the aqueduct to the Valiant Gargoyles.

Nokron suits level 70 to 80 with a weapon at +15 to +20. The fallen star has torn a crater open in southeast Limgrave, and that is the only way into the main city. Stay on Torrent for the way down.

One chance per descent

The Ghostflame Torch sits on the first rooftops. Once you drop to the lower roofs there is no way back up to it, short of starting again from the crater, so take it before you move on.

4Behind a tall, narrow rock in an open field northwest of the Ancestral Woods grace. A lesser Red Wolf of Radagon circles the rock, but you can light it without a fight.

About this guide

Expect about 230 hours over three runs, in a game where bosses take practice. This route uses no save backups. Run 1 collects everything in the base game and Shadow of the Erdtree, and takes about 170 of those hours. NG+ (about 40) and NG++ (about 20) are shorter runs for the other two endings and the other quest branches, with tougher enemies and some bosses to beat again for remembrance trades. Random drops and free-choice NPC kills never count toward 100%.
