InElden Ring Nightreign, you need to start almost from scratch each time you drop into the world to take on the Night. If you want to succeed against each of the Night Lords, you will need to properly arm yourself with the right tools.
Taking downAdelinElden Ring Nightreignis much easier if you have access to bothice and poison weapons. To get them, you will need to know where they will appear on the map while you drop in and prepare for battle.
Where To Get Ice and Poison Weapons In Elden Ring Nightreign
As you fly into the arena, you need to look forNightreignmap markersthat match up with the different types of weapons you want to find. If you are looking for an ice weapon, you will need to find the ice icon on the map, which looks like a sword outlined in glowing blue. Poison weapons can be found at poison icons on the map; those icons are green and have bubbles on them.
Once you arrive at the icon on the map, you need to defeat theElden Ringmini-bossesor open a chest in that area to get the weapon type that the icon has promised. If there are no mini-bosses there and no treasure chests, you will most likely not get a weapon in that area. Instead, you might get a single-use throwing ice projectile. When you arrive at the chest or defeat the boss, you will get a few options of items you can pick; they can be upgrades or weapons, and it will be random which upgrades or weapon types you end up with.
Unlike with holy orfire weapons inElden Ring Nightreign, ice and poison are not numbered stats that can be added to weapons. Therefore, ice or poison will come in the form of a weapon skill or status ailment that it inflicts. For example, the Icerind Hatchet is an axe that inflicts Frostbite and has Hoarfrost Stomp as a weapon skill. Another would be the Venomous Fang, which inflicts Poison on an enemy.
