Direct answer: Defeat Starscourge Radahn in Caelid, then travel to the meteor crater south of Mistwood in Limgrave. Descend the broken rock ledges into Nokron, Eternal City.
Find the crater
- After Radahn falls, a cutscene shows a meteor striking Limgrave. The crater appears south of the Mistwood, near Fort Haight.
- Approach from the northern rim and look for floating rocks leading down into the crater.
- Drop from ledge to ledge. The entrance is below the surface; do not try to ride Torrent off the cliff.
- Follow the cavern passage to the Nokron, Eternal City Site of Grace.
Continue to Night’s Sacred Ground
From Nokron, activate the first grace and follow the main bridge-like route toward the large plaza. After the Mimic Tear arena, cross the Ancestral Woods and drop onto the rooftops below to reach Night’s Sacred Ground. Ranni’s Fingerslayer Blade is in a chest at the end of that rooftop route.
Common wrong turns
The crater does not appear before Radahn is defeated. Nokron is accessed from Limgrave’s meteor impact, not by riding deeper through the Siofra River well. If you are here for Ranni’s quest, return the Fingerslayer Blade to Ranni after collecting it; that unlocks the next quest stage.
