How to Unlock The Great Hollow
Defeat 2 Nightlords and Unlock 2 New Nightfarers in DLC
To unlock the The Great Hollow, you must first defeat two Nightlords, which includes Tricephalos and one other boss, and also unlock the two new Nightfarers added in the DLC.
Once you meet the conditions, head to the chapel that opens behind the Small Jar Merchant. From there, you’ll be able to take on The Great Hollow Shifting Earth event, as well as the boss expedition for the Balancers.

Favor of the Great Hollow

|---|---|
 |
 |
| Breaks crystal curse, and when Sacred Flasks are exhausted, boost art gauge. | |
Resonating with 4 main crystals (3 in a Solo Expedition) in The Great Hollow will allow you obtain the Favor of the Great Hollow marked at the middle of the map.
This power helps get rid of the passvie max health reduction present in the two urban areas of the map, making it much easier to explore them.
Weapon Duplication
Similar to Noklateo, the Great Hollow will also feature a weapon duplication altar in the area beneath the east side of the map. Defeat the Elder Inquisitor guarding the underground tomb to gain access to the duplication altar.
The Great Hollow Progression Guide
Kill the Kaiden Mercenaries at the Start of the Match
Unlike the Limveld map, the Great Hollow has a lot of unmarked POIs and bosses, requiring you to be familiar with the map if you want any sort of progression on Day 1. There are 2 distinct spawns in the Great Hollow - one to the very south of the map and another at the southwest.
If you spawn to the south, kill the enemies in the small camp for an easy level 2, then make your way west to reach the Kaiden Mercenaries. These guys will give you an easy level 3 at the start of the match. On top of that, they'll reward you with an easy-to-get blue weapon.
Avoid the Crystal-Strewn Castles During the First Day
The ruined castle areas in the southeast and northwest corners of the map both contain a crystal curse that halves your HP if you don't have the favor of the Great Hollow. To avoid wasting time, don't challenge these POIs during the first day.
Resonate with 4 Crystals to Get the Favor of the Great Hollow
 |
| ⓘ You can ride the Spectral Hawks to quickly travel around and get an overhead view for any nearby crystals. |
To dispel the crystal curse that halves your HP, you'll need to resonate with at least 4 dark blue crystals scattered around the map. If you plan to explore the castle locations during Day 2, make sure to get at least 2~3 crystals during Day 1 otherwise, you'll run out of time come Day 2.
Once 4 crystals have been destroyed, head over to the large (now broken) purple crystal near the center of the map. Interact with the legendary drop at its center to get the Favor of the Great Hollow - a blessing that dispels the crystal curse.
Only 3 Crystals Required on a Solo Expedition
If you're doing a run solo, then you'll only need to resonate with 3 Crystals to get the Favor of the Great Hollow. This is perfect for anyone looking do to the Remembrance quests of the new Nightfarers without having to queue up with a group.
List of All Remembrance Quests
Get at Least 2 to 3 Churches Before Night 1
Once the first ring closes during Day 1, you'll have fewer options when it comes to POIs that you can hit to get levels. Prioritize getting flask upgrades before Night 1. Luckily, a lot of the easy-to-reach churches will usually be within the 2nd ring of Day 1, so hit them up before the Night 1 boss fight.
One of the best locations to hit early will be the large plateau to the northeast of the map. While there may not be 2 churches here all the time, the world boss that roams the area will usually be very easy to take down in a group.
Defeat the Night 1 Boss
For this fight, you'll want to be somewhere around level 6 or 7. Runs at level 5 will be doable but difficult (make sure you have flask charges to compensate). Some of the more common Night 1 bosses are:
- Curseblade and Divine Beast Warrior: Kill the Curseblade first to restore the light within the boss area. The Divine Beast Warrior will be the lightning variant from SoTE.
- Demon in Pain and Demon from Below: Focus on eliminating one to avoid getting overwhelmed when both start doing their low HP powerups.
List of All Bosses and Weaknesses
Get the Favor of the Great Hollow at the Start of Day 2
If you haven't already, make sure to secure the Favor of the Great Hollow at the start of Day 2. Once you have the blessing, it'll open up a ton of exploration options that you can challenge to get endgame purple and legendary loot.
Secure Purple or Legendary Weapons During Day 2
Day 2 is all about gearing up with good weapons (or, at least better than your current loadout). If you don't have a decent purple yet, start hitting either of the 2 ruined castles (northwest or southeast).
These locations will have bosses and mini-bosses you can kill to get runes, decent purple weapons, power drops, and even legendaries.
Go to the Divine Tower to Challenge the Night 2 Boss
Make sure to pay attention to the location of the Night 2 Boss. The boss will always spawn inside the Divine Tower at the north of the map. There are only 2 ways to get inside, so make sure not to get caught by the ring closing when making your way to the tower.
If you're coming from the west, there will be a long bridge you can use to reach the Divine Tower. If you're coming from the east or south of the tower, you'll need to make a rather risky jump to reach tower's balcony at its south side.
Defeat the Night 2 Boss
This fight will usually depend on the boss you fought during Night 1. Defeat whatever boss spawns to reach the Nightlord's arena.
- Lord of Blood (Mohg): Likely boss if you fought the Curseblade and Divine Beast Warrior. Heal through his Nihil move at half HP then destroy at least 2 or 3 of his blood tridents during Phase 2 to prevent getting Nihile'd to death midway through.
- Demon Prince: Guaranteed if you fought the Demon in Pain and Demon from Below.
