Where can I meet the guy in Nokron?

To meet Blaidd in Nokron, you’ll first need to head to Limgrave’s Mistwood Ruins at night, where he’ll instruct you to meet him in the Siofra River, a large underground area in Elden Ring. After reaching the Siofra River, you’ll be able to encounter Blaidd, but to find him in Nokron, you must progress through Ranni’s questline, which involves exploring Nokron, Eternal City, and retrieving the Hidden Treasure of Nokron.
