A huge underground area and hybrid dungeon may be found in the Liurnia District of Elden Ring called Nokstella eternal city, and the Lake of Rot. Although it is an optional underground section, it is slightly more linear than the overworld and maintains many of the overworld’s core mechanics, like fast movement and the restoration of flasks after killing enemy groups. This article includes details on the area’s location, a walkthrough and guide to help you get around it, find all of its treasure, and advice on how to deal with the adversaries there.

In Front Of The Silver Spheres

The ball can be attracted to the entrance by racing back to the building you entered earlier. You may attack it without having to worry about being knocked over because it won’t be able to fit through the door. The Silver Sphere will drop a Larval Tear after being defeated.

Proceed once you’ve dealt with the large ball. Go to the building on the right of the bridge’s terminus before climbing farther. But be cautious. The door will shut as soon as you walk through it, and another Silver Sphere will fall from the ceiling. Put an end to it as soon as you can.A Great Ghost Glovewort is located in a chest at the end of this room. Steal it, then go back outside. Go to the stairwell and begin climbing.

Finishing the nokstella eternal city top portion

When you press the lock-on button, a Silver Sphere hanging from the ceiling will come into view. Use a spell, a bow, or whatever you can throw to hit the Silver Sphere, forcing it to fall. A few Electric Gold Tears will be damaged when it lands on them since the explosion will cause the Silver Sphere to be damaged. Run back outside if the Gold Sphere is still alive, and it will become trapped at the door. From here, attack it and take it out. Once it has been eliminated, move on to eliminate any more Silver Tears that are still present.At the far end of this area is a chest. To get a Somber Smithing Stone, open it [7].

Continue on by using the left-hand exit. A Scarab awaits you at the stairs. Get a Somber Smithing Stone after defeating it [6].

Another house can be found at the top of the steps. There are a Nox Swordstress and two Silver Tears within.
