Which is located in Liurnia of the Lakes’ Three Sisters location. Unfortunately, getting there is easier said than done, as players will have to navigate Caria Manor, a very difficult dungeon.
Players will come across a big circular platform surrounded by chairs once they have travelled far enough through Caria Manor. They’ll be pitted against Royal Knight Loretta here. Players can exit the area through a small archway after defeating Loretta and proceed to the Three Sisters.
The towering Glintstone Dragon Adula guards Ranni’s Rise, a massive tower in the horizon. Thankfully, if players wish to access Ranni’s Rise, they won’t have to beat this field boss.

After entering Ranni’s Rise, players must climb all the way to the top, where they will encounter Ranni. Players will be placed on a quest to retrieve something from Nokron, Eternal City, after pledging to do her bidding.
Obtaining Ranni’s Fingerslayer Blade
Unfortunately, the only way to get to Nokron. Eternal City is for players to beat Starscourge Radahn, one of Elden Ring’s most intimidating Demi-God monsters. A succession of stars will fall from the sky when the Starscourge is defeated, and one celestial body will open a crater in Limgrave, south of Mistwood Ruins. After that, players can descend into Nokron through the crater. Players will have to confront the Mimic Tear boss after moving through the city. This will activate a Site of Grace at the foot of a big bridge. Players will eventually see a breach in the stone railing and a short passage descending down a hill if they run across this bridge. Reach the players can Ancestral Woods Site of Grace by going down this slope and hugging the left-hand wall.
Players will need to drop down from the cliffside onto the roof below and then complete a succession of platforming portions as they make their way through the city, starting at the Ancestral Woods Site of Grace. They’ll eventually arrive at a location with a gigantic ball (inside a Church-like structure).

After that, players must travel through the Uhl Palace Ruins and then through a tunnel system that leads to Nokstella, Eternal City. Players can find a plethora of useful resources for Spirit Ash upgrades, as well as a critical item needed to complete Ranni’s questline.
Eternal City’s Alternate Path to Nokstella
There is another way to get to Nokstella, Eternal City without having to complete Ranni’s questline in its entirety. This method is considerably more difficult than the first because it forces players to face a formidable Duo Boss. To do so, return to the Ancestral Woods Site of Grace and proceed to the east, across the road, and into a tiny woodland area. When players start seeing Jellyfish, they know they’re in the proper area. Players will ultimately get to a point where there are tonnes of Jellyfish on a cliffside if they stick to the right in this area. Players can reach a cliff edge by hugging the left wall, where they can jump down and continue along a path. This will lead players to another Site of Grace, where they can fall down a cliff, into a tower, and into the Siofra Aqueduct if they continue past it.
Players will face a Valiant Gargoyle Duo, fast-moving bosses who punish players with powerful sweeping strikes and poison AOEs, if they progress through this region all the way to the end. If players defeat these bosses, they will earn access to a new Site of Grace at the waterfall’s base, as well as a coffin that will take them to the Deeproot Depths. Players will eventually uncover another coffin in this location that will transport them to Ansel River Main, where they will be able to visit Nokstella, Eternal City.
Going via the Subterranean Shunning Grounds in Leyndell, Royal Capital, and battling with the boss Mohg, The Omen, is another way to get to Deeproot Depths. After defeating the boss, players can access the Deeproot Depths via a secret path hidden underneath his reward chest, bypassing the need to travel to Nokron. It’s worth noting, though, that this will force players to play through the Flame of Frenzy ending.
