The sorcery of a maiden from Nokron, the Night’s Maiden Mist, summons a cloud of silver mist that hurts anyone caught within, including the caster. This spell can damage the enemies for up to 15 consecutive seconds.
Like most of the sorceries in Elden Ring, Night Maiden’s Mist can be learned from a master of sorcery. In this guide, we will tell you how to unlock this spell and how you can use it effectively against large enemies and the ones trapped in small places.
Night Maiden’s Mist Location
Night Maiden’s Mist can be purchased for 5,000 Runes from Sage Gowry in Caelid.
However, you must complete Gowry’s Questline up to a certain point before he decides to sell you sorceries.
You can find Gowry inside his shack in southern Caelid, right before the gate of Sellia, Town of Sorcery. Talk to him and he will ask you to help Millicent by finding the Unalloyed Gold Needle.
Go to the middle of the Swamp of Aeonia to find Commander O’Neil. Defeat this mini-boss to obtain the broken Unalloyed Gold Needle. Make sure to fight him on Torrent’s back, as this place can induce Scarlet Rot, the deadliest ailment in Elden Ring.
Return to Gowry and hand over the broken, Unalloyed Gold Needle. He will give you a secret to Sellia and ask you to wait. Solve the puzzle of Sellia by lighting three braziers and rest at any site of grace.
Return to Gowry to obtain the fixed Unalloyed Gold Needle and travel through Sellia’s now-opened door to reach the Church of the Plague. Hand over the Unalloyed Gold Needle to Millicent and rest at the Site of Grace.
Talk to her and rest again. Return to Gowry’s Shack to find Millicent in her place. Exhaust her dialogues and rest once more. Gowry will appear once again in place of Millicent. Talk to him, and he will agree to teach you certain sorceries, including Night Maiden’s Mist, for 5,000 Runes.
