Alright, listen up, fellow Na'vi wannabes. It’s 2026, and I’m still hopelessly addicted to Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. I’ve crafted more bows than I can count, tamed more direhorses than my stable knows what to do with, and somehow I still got stumped by a cave entrance in a side quest called Sound of Night Part 2. If you’re here, you probably talked to Ley’taw at River’s Run camp, got a waypoint, and then spent twenty minutes running face-first into a rock formation like a confused thanator. Been there, done that, bought the ikran t-shirt. So let me save you the headache.
The quest starts simple enough. After chatting with Ley’taw at River’s Run camp, she asks you to locate a new nocturnal sound. An in-game waypoint pops up and points you roughly 390 meters east of camp. Easy peasy, right? Wrong. That waypoint is a sneaky little trickster. When you get close, you’ll see a massive rock formation. Your gamer brain might say, “Just climb it” or “Just go straight.” Don’t. Instead, walk around that rock formation until you reach its east side. That’s where the entrance to River’s Embrace cave is hiding. It sits just southeast of the quest waypoint, probably laughing at you from behind a boulder. No cap, I walked past it twice.
Once you find the cave entrance, the rest is pretty much smooth sailing. Head inside and start your descent. The River’s Embrace cave is basically a one-way street, so you don’t need to worry about getting lost in some labyrinth. You’ll pass through a corridor with Coiling Sunshines hanging from the ceiling—which is gorgeous, by the way—and eventually enter a chamber where a Na’vi is playing an instrument. That Na’vi’s name is Nilngan. Walk up, press the talk button, and let the Sound of Night Part 2 quest advance. I was all ears, and honestly, his music slaps.
After your chat with Nilngan, it’s time to head back to Ley’taw at River’s Run camp. You could fast travel if you’re feeling lazy—no judgment, I do it all the time—or you could soak in Pandora’s scenery. Either way, once you speak with her, the quest wraps up and you get your rewards. And what rewards they are. You’ll receive Nilngon’s Night Chimes, which is a Superior Armguard Mod. That’s a nice little upgrade for your gear, especially if you’re still rocking starter armor like some kind of Na’vi tourist. You also get some Clan Favor, which you can exchange for gear, materials, and other goodies. In 2026, with all the updates and community content, Clan Favor is still worth stacking. Don’t sleep on it.
Here’s a quick cheat sheet in case you’re speed-running this thing:
| Step | What to Do | Pro Tip |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Talk to Ley’taw at River’s Run camp | Start the Sound of Night Part 2 quest |
| 2 | Head ~390m east to the waypoint | Don’t climb the big rock; go around it |
| 3 | Find River’s Embrace cave entrance | It’s on the east side, southeast of the waypoint |
| 4 | Descend through the cave | Follow the Coiling Sunshines corridor |
| 5 | Speak with Nilngan | He’s the musical Na’vi in the chamber |
| 6 | Return to Ley’taw | Collect Nilngon’s Night Chimes and Clan Favor |
And that’s a wrap, folks. This is the final Sound of Night quest in the game, so if you’ve been following the little musical mystery, congratulations—you’ve reached the end of the road. But don’t think Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is done with you. There’s a boatload of optional content, and you’ll bump into NPCs who need help with everything from hunting to healing to finding their lost stuff. It’s a big beautiful Pandora out there, and 2026 is a great time to explore it. So grab your ikran, check your map, and remember: when in doubt, walk around the rock. Happy questing, and may your Clan Favor never run dry.
