All Flame Pillar Locations In Nokron (Regal Ancestor Spirit)

Similar to Elden Ring‘s Ancestor Spirit of Siofra River, the Regal Ancestor Spirit can only be encountered once Tarnished have lit all flame pillars of Nokron, Eternal City. The Regal Ancestor Spirit is an optional boss, but many adventurers might wish to challenge the fabled beast to earn its unique Remembrance. The location of the Regal Ancestor Spirit, Nokron, is the upper part of Siofra River’s map in Elden Ring.

Travelers can go south of Mistwood in East Limgrave to find a massive crater leading to the underground city. Once they arrive, they’ll need to make their way to the Ancestral Woods in the north to face the Regal Ancestor Spirit. Yet, they must cross the giant overpass guarded by a Mimic Tear to progress. Afterward, players can commence their boss-summoning, brazier-lighting endeavor.

This area is not accessible until Tarnished have defeated

Elden Ring

. Once this monumental feat has been accomplished, a cutscene of a star falling to Limgrave will play, indicating that the path to Nokron is open.

Every Nokron Flame Pillar’s Location In Elden Ring

Light Six Pillars In Noktron, Eternal City

In Nokron, Eternal City, six flame pillars must be ignited for players to defeat the Regal Ancestor Spirit boss in Elden Ring. These are easier to find than those in Siofra River, with fewer enemies and no formidable archers getting in the way.

Unlock all Sites of Grace in the area for safety, and utilize Torrent, to swiftly move between pillars and avoid enemies.

Nokron, Eternal City Flame Pillar 1

The first obelisk can be found alongside the main path of Ancestral Woods connected to the overpass. Descend the hill from the bridge and turn right. Cross the road and take the rock path uphill. Crest the hill to find the pillar near the cliff on the left side of the road after the bridge.

Be wary of the two Ancestral Followers patrolling the road, with a herd of goats.

Nokron, Eternal City Flame Pillar 2

The second flame pillar is southwest of the first. Turn right, around from the first pillar, and head into the forest. Finally, go around the large stone pillar on the left side, to find the second brazier sitting near the cliff ledge. Proceed with caution, as two more Ancestral Followers in Elden Ring are roaming near it with a herd of goats.

Nokron, Eternal City Flame Pillar 3

Return to the road and continue westward to encounter two more Ancestral Followers. An Ancestral Follower Shaman singing atop a hill stands beside the third flame pillar on the left side. It is possible to ignore the Shaman by ascending the slope behind the brazier and lighting the fire unnoticed.

Nokron, Eternal City Flame Pillar 4

Continue down the road, west from the third pillar, along the southwestern cliff, riding through a patchy forest towards a rocky spire. You will find Nokron’s fourth flame pillar on the far western side atop a small rostrum. The platform will be crowded with woodland creatures and Followers enchanted by a Shaman’s song, with a Lesser Red Wolf Radagon mini-boss and a pack of wolves present.

While it is feasible to sneak around the stage to the pillar, the brazier faces toward the crowd, meaning the enemies will become hostile when the player lights the fire. It’s therefore best to fight the mini-boss rather than risk losing progress and backtracking to the pillar.

Nokron, Eternal City Flame Pillar 5

The next flame pillar sits in the far northwest of the woods, past the broken overpass and near the submerged ruins. From the giant spire, head up a small hill through the rocks, to find a small colony of Frenzied rats and two Shamans guarding the brazier.

To handle the rats, use AOE spells to eliminate them all at once. Melee players can use Throwing Daggers from a distance to prevent them from swarming while fighting the

Elden Ring

.

Nokron, Eternal City Flame Pillar 6

For the sixth and final brazier, go east toward the bridge. A short distance down the path, you’ll find a small ruined plaza on the left with a Shaman, several Ancestral Followers, and a herd of deer. The last pillar is hidden behind a giant rock to the south of the clearing, where the road from the bridge turns north and ends in a three-sided rectangular structure.

Once all the obelisks have been lit, head to the ruins of Hollowhorn Grounds just a bit further east from the last pillar. After bypassing the Ancestral Followers, Tarnished can interact with the deer carcass in the eastern corner of the Ancestral Woods to unlock the Regal Ancestor Spirit boss fight in Elden Ring.
