Duchess wields the smallest blade of all of Elden Ring Nightreign‘s champions, but don’t underestimate her and her dagger: she has some of the highest damage potential in the entire game. That’s thanks to her Restage ability, which repeats the damage that you and your co-op companions have dealt in the last few seconds, making…
Continuing FromSoftware’s knack for obscure storytelling, Elden Ring Nightreign does actually feature a story—one for each Nightfarer, in fact, as well as the main narrative—despite being a multiplayer experience first and foremost. These stories primarily unfold through the journal in the Roundtable Hold, though it’s not immediately apparent how to progress them. It turns out,…
Discovering how to beat Gladius in Elden Ring Nightreign is your first major trial, and honestly, it’s one that might cause many players to bounce off the game entirely.

Luckily, there’s a…
If you’ve stuck with Elden Ring Nightreign‘s default character, Wylder, then you’ll quickly fill his journal and unlock his Chapter 3 Remembrance mission, which throws you in at the deep end with what’s called a personal objective. Speaking to Iron Menial, the Roundtable Hold’s caretaker, you’ll then have to find a whetstone in Limveld. You’re…
Puzzling out how to upgrade weapons in Elden Ring Nightreign is a little confusing, especially as its Smithing Stones work a little differently to how they did in the original game. You’ll still have to track down this blacksmithing material, but you’ll only need one of each kind to upgrade a weapon. Each armament also…
You’ve probably noticed if you’re here, but Elden Ring Nightreign is hard. Like, really hard—hard enough that our Nightreign review calls it “a merciless bully.” (We mean that lovingly, of course.) Beating the Nightlord at the end of your run means juggling level progression, weapon upgrades, and elemental weaknesses, all while being chased by a…
Wondering what Nightreign bosses you’ll get to fight in the new game? Since hearing that a selection of Dark Souls bosses were making an appearance in Elden Ring Nightreign, I was super excited to hop into an expedition and see who I’d come up against.
