Elden Ring Nightreign is a new entry and alternate take on the "souls" formula game, combining many of the gameplay elements of the base Elden Ring game with a quick, pressuring co-op multiplayer roguelike.

In Nightreign, players will choose from one of several pre-made classes (called Nightfarers) and arrive on a landmass to survive for 3 in-game days. Nightfall will be heralded by a ring of darkness slowing covering the land and centering on a boss fight at the end of each day, with the third day being devoted to taking out a single boss. Players will only be able to embark either alone or with two other Nightfarers.

Unlike Elden Ring, most of Nightreign is completely randomized: The enemies and bosses you face, the gear that will drop, point of interest locations, and much more will change each time you arrive on the island. Your goal is to spend the three days moving quickly to level up and find better gear so that you can survive each boss fight.

Boss Guides

You'll be encountering plenty of bosses as you set out on each expedition. In each run, you'll have to take on Night Bosses, and if you make it to Day 3, there'll be a Night Lord waiting for you. But along the way, you'll also find great enemies and mini-bosses that roam the land.

Our guides will help you prepare in the best way possible for these notoriously difficult bosses, with suggestions on classes to choose if you're playing solo, team compositions, and boss weaknesses you should be aware of.
