How to beat the Dragonkin Soldier of Nokstella in Elden Ring

sportskeeda.com:

Underground waterways are part of the map in Elden Ring, and the Dragonkin Soldier of Nokstella is there to defend them if players get too far in. If one can make it far enough through the Ainsel River, then they will be tasked with battling an ancient enemy.

A handful of bosses within the game are tied to achievements or trophies and the Dragonkin Soldier of Nokstella is certainly one of them. The colossal soldier is sure to give some players trouble, but the rewards can be worth the effort in the end.

However, the goal is to make the effort much more manageable in this fight.

Players will know that they have found the Dragonkin Soldier of Nokstella in Elden Ring when they reach the waterway full of graves and a massive corpse sitting down.

There is a second version of the Dragonkin in the game, but this one only has frost lightning power that makes the enemy so dangerous.

Once the battle is over, there are some great rewards to collect. Players who want to upgrade their summons will be especially happy.

When the boss goes down, players will first be given plenty of runes and the achievement for victory. As an item, they will also receive a Frozen Lightning Spear spell. But it's what is behind the boss that makes the area special.

In the small mausoleum, there is a chest that contains a Great Ghost Glovewart. These are incredibly rare upgrades that allow ash summons to be upgraded to a level 10. Most of the time, players will need to travel underground to collect these.
