The main goal ofElden Ring Nightreignis to defeat the Nightlord on the third day. Meanwhile, on the first two days, players must explore Limveld to level up and get equipment that can help with the boss fight. This process is quite confusing at first, which is why it might take a while before players get used to the mechanics and level up optimally.
Therefore, to help new players understand the game faster, here are somebeginner tips and tricks forElden Ring Nightreign. Keep in mind that there’s no right or wrong way to complete expeditions, but by following some simple methods, players can have a smoother experience.
10Save Murk Until You Defeat The First Nightlord
You’ll Need It Later
As players are completing expeditions, they will get a currency calledMurkthat can be used topurchase items at the Roundtable Hold. At first, theSmall Jar Bazaarwill seem empty as there’s not much stuff to buy (mostly gestures and a few relics). However, a lot more essential items will be added later on after defeating the first Nightlord.
So, it’s best tosave up most of the Murk obtained from completing expeditions. If players haven’t won any yet, that’s fine, as Murk is still rewarded even if the expedition fails.
9Try Out Characters At The Sparring Grounds
Test All Of Their Abilities
There are eight Nightfarers in total, and players can only choose one to play during the expedition inElden Ring Nightreign. Each one has their own unique ability and weapon preference. If players are lost and don’t know who to choose, they cantake advantage of the Sparring Grounds at the Roundtable Hold to test out the Nightfarers.
Here are some things players can experiment with at the Sparring Grounds:
8Keep A Long-Ranged Weapon To Rescue Fallen Members
No Need To Put Yourself In Danger
Players will lose their Runes and one level when they die, but before this happens, their teammates canhelp revive them by attacking the fallen player. This won’t be easy most of the time, as the enemy’s attention will be fully focused on the surviving member.
The easiest and quickest method to revive expedition members without endangering your safety is byusing a long-range weapon and hitting them from afaruntil they’re revived. While some Nightfarers come with bows and staves, other classes need to keep any long-range weapon they find while exploring Limveld.
7Don’t Waste Time Looting
Time Is Of The Essence
When raiding a large area full of enemies like a ruin or a camp, players will stumble upon a lot of items, especially if there are treasure chests as well. Instead ofwasting time and going through every materialand overthinking about its usefulness,briefly check them and only grab what seems necessary.
There are a lot of consumables inElden Ring Nightreign, making it difficult to choose between the available items, as players may forget the effects of each one. An easy solution would be to familiarize yourself with the items by opening the box at the Sparring Grounds and checking the materials. Players can also equip and try them to know exactly which one they need.
6Defeat Great Enemies To Level Up Faster
It Might Be Difficult But Worth It
While exploring Limveld and seeking enemies to level up,try to target ruins, camps, and forts as they usually have a large group of enemies, various treasures, and great enemies. Great enemies are some sort of area bossesthat will drop a lot of Runes. Other than money, there are special rewards like rare weapons or spells.
Additionally, players might get other rewards that will help on their journey, like a key that will open up an Evergaol. Even if players are late and can’t open any on the first night, keep them to use on the second night.
5Know The Map
Familiarize Yourself With Point Of Interests
Although each expedition is random, players can start to notice some familiar places after a few runs. These places yield valuable drops, like the camp that contains a map to discover all Scarab locations.
At the start of each expedition, make sure to open the map and markplaces of interest inElden Ring Nightreign.
Because of how random the events are, it’s incredibly important for players to know the map and navigate it properly to make the most of each night.
4Use All Items In The Final Battle
Don’t Horde Anything
After exploring for two days and collecting Runes as well as valuable consumables, it’s time to use them on the third and final day. Once players complete the second day by defeating the boss, they’re transported to the arena of the Nightlord. There, a Site of Grace for a last-minute level-up and a merchant are available. If you think some of the items will help, spend the remaining Runes to buy andequip the items to your limited slots.
The same goes for consumables. When fighting the Nightlord, use all the owned consumables to buff or deal damage to the boss, asafter the fight, players will lose all items as well as Runes. So,don’t horde the materials as they will be lost whether you win or lose the fight.
3Understanding Each Nightlord’s Weakness
To Defeat The Bosses Faster
Each expedition will last for three days, and players will fight the Nightlord on the last night. The Nightlord is the final boss of the expedition, and the goal is to defeat it to progress further and unlock other expeditions. Just like any normal enemy, each Nightlord has a weakness, and, while it might not drastically change the course of the battle, it will allow players to deal extra damage.
Players cancheck the Nightlord’s weakness after reading its description when starting an expeditionat the Roundtable Hold. Although the boss’s description might not explicitly state what the weakness is, players will get a clear hint. For example,the Tricephalos' description says"only sacred light can hinder the hunt", meaning the beast is weak to Holy damage.
2Find Churches To Increase Flask
Healing Is Essential In Battle
By opening the map, players can see all the points of interest they canexplore while on the expedition inElden Ring Nightreign. One of them is the churches, which work similarly to the Church of Marika inElden Ring. Upongoing inside and grabbing the item on the altar, players will gain an extra HP Flask charge.
Getting more Flask charges from the first day will be a great advantage for players. Having more HP means lasting longer in battles and being able to withstand hits with great damage. If players missed going on the first day, it’s still possible to explore churches on the second day of the expedition.
1Play Together
You Don’t Have To Do It Alone
Although it’s possible to playElden Ring Nightreignon a solo expedition,it’s better to play it with other players. Those who prefer going solo should try to play with other people at the beginning, at least to get the gist of the game mechanics and have a better understanding of the map and boss fights before starting a solo expedition.
There are many benefits from playing together, and the most essential is that all the expedition members can farm Runes and level up together, making it easier to take down bosses and move on quickly to the next day. Playing alone might hinder exploration as it will take a while to fight enemies and level up before reaching the first boss. That being said, when playing together, don’t split as that will defeat the purpose.
