First stair-side room and riverside

Nokstella, Eternal City

Starting Site of Grace: Nokstella, Eternal City

Before you go

• Reach Nokstella; this approach uses Ranni's quest.

1. Start at Caria Manor in northwestern Liurnia. Defeat Royal Knight Loretta and enter Three Sisters behind the manor. Visit Ranni at the top of Ranni's Rise and agree to serve her. Speak to the spirits downstairs, then return to Ranni to finish the conversation.
2. Defeat Starscourge Radahn at Redmane Castle. Return to southern Mistwood and find the new crater near Fort Haight, marked by floating rocks. Descend using its ledges and enter Nokron, Eternal City.
3. Work across Nokron's rooftops to the streets and continue to Mimic Tear. Defeat it and cross the long bridge beyond its arena. Leave the bridge on the left into the woods, then follow the cliff to Ancestral Woods grace.
4. Jump from the cliff beside that grace onto the roof below. Follow the rooftops and narrow building ledges into Night's Sacred Ground. Continue across the broken stone arch into the church, descend inside, and leave onto the lower street. Follow that street to the enormous seated figure and open the chest underneath it for Fingerslayer Blade.
5. Return the blade to Ranni at her tower. Before doing this, finish any remaining Seluvis rewards you want. Rest after speaking to Ranni, then visit Renna's Rise, the northern tower in Three Sisters. Climb it and use the sending gate to Ainsel River Main.
6. Collect Miniature Ranni from the coffin near where you arrive. Rest at Ainsel River Main and select Talk to miniature Ranni repeatedly until she answers. Finish her dialogue.
7. Follow the river through Uhl Palace Ruins, using the ruins as cover against the hanging creature's projectiles. Pass through the ant tunnel and activate Nokstella, Eternal City grace when the city opens ahead.
8. Climb the first stairs west of the grace. At the first landing, enter the room on your left and defeat the Nox Swordstress guarding the chest with Ant's Skull Plate. The enemy farther up the stairs wears the different Night Maiden outfit.
9. Inspect the Swordstress's drops, return to the grace and rest to repeat. The sword-wielding women riding giant ants along the river are additional targets for the same crown, chest and shared gloves and greaves.

Notes

• The four normal pieces weigh 19.3 and give 35 poise. The head and chest identify this outfit; Nox Bracelets and Nox Greaves are shared with the other two Nox outfits.
• The normal pieces have separate 3% base chances at 100 Discovery. A complete outfit is not a guaranteed drop from one enemy.
• There is no additional matching-set bonus, spell boost or attribute increase. The enemies' special attacks and weapons are not granted by wearing their armor.
• Both the head and chest can use ordinary tailoring. Wearing both altered versions changes the total to 17.9 weight and 31 poise. The shared limbs cannot be altered.
• The Sellia Nox duo boss does not drop the outfit. Farm the ordinary enemies in Nokstella instead.
