Elden Ring Nightreign Everdark Sovereign explained: Gaping Jaw fight tips, rewards, and more

Everdark Sovereign is a tougher version of Nightlord expeditions in Elden Ring Nightreign. These missions begin like the standard runs, but the final boss turns into a nightmare. From the start of the fight, the boss is more aggressive, hits harder and has more health than usual.
The first two nights of the expedition are unchanged. But on the final night, things get wild. The boss enters battle in its second phase, gains a new phase after losing half of its health and unleashes dangerous new mechanics/attacks.
Before starting, make sure you are well-prepared:
Reach at least level 13
Equip legendary gear
Upgrade all flasks
Carry Warming Stones and Wondrous Physick flasks
Use relics that reduce damage or share healing
These changes make every moment of the boss fight more intense and chaotic, even for skilled players.
What are Sovereign Sigils and how do they work?

If you defeat an Everdark Sovereign boss, your team earns Sovereign Sigils. This new currency can be spent at the Collector Signboard vendor in Roundtable Hold, located near the shoreline. You unlock this vendor after your first successful expedition.
Sovereign Sigils can be used for:
New character skins
Special chalices to improve builds
Rare relics
Spawning Shifting Earth zones in future expeditions
These rewards help you customise your gameplay experience and make it easier to handle future bosses.
Gaping Jaw: The first Everdark Sovereign boss
Ok HOLY SHIT, hard mode Gaping Jaw is definitely the hardest boss in Nightreign but wow that is a good fight. Just beat him for the first time solo, took 2 downs but I had spares revives (bought the guaranteed vendor revives)!Incredible fight, also the post reward is WORTH IT! pic.twitter.com/wgNvdMCi2g
The first Everdark Sovereign fight features Adel, the Gaping Jaw. This version of the boss is far more aggressive and unpredictable. You will face powerful area attacks and a new cyclone mechanic that forces players to stay close or risk constant damage.
Boss Name: Adel, Baron of Night
Weaknesses: Poison and Scarlet Rot
Changes in the fight:
The fight starts in phase two
A third phase begins when health drops below 50 percent
The boss creates a moving cyclone that deals damage outside its zone
Spiritsprings appear around the arena to jump back into the cyclone
Constant lightning storms and fast slam attacks
Adel's cyclone moves with the boss, which means players must stay inside it to survive. The battlefield becomes chaotic, and staying together becomes essential.
Tips to survive the Gaping Jaw Everdark fight
To make it through this expedition, players need to be smart with positioning, relics and team tactics. Focus on staying alive and reducing incoming damage with the right equipment.
Equip relics that:
Increase damage resistance at full health
Reduce damage from repeated hits
Boost lightning resistance
Share healing flasks or consumables across the team
Stay inside the cyclone at all times and use Spiritsprings to get back in if you are thrown out. If you fall behind, it is hard to recover. Use poison-based attacks and try to stagger Adel before it builds momentum.
Everdark Sovereign fights are the hardest challenge in Elden Ring Nightreign right now. Adel is just the beginning. More bosses will join this high-level roster soon. If you want powerful rewards and an unforgettable fight, sharpen your blades and face the storm.

Elden Ring Nightreign: Bandai Namco makes it tougher to fight Nightlords

Earlier this month, Elden Ring Nightreign released the 1.01.1 update and just a few weeks after that the publisher, Bandai Namco, has announced that it has made select fights in the game tougher than before. Players who desire to have a challenging fight in the game can now take on 'Everdark Sovereigns,' which are more difficult versions of the game's Nightlord foes that they usually face to conclude a run. 'Other Everdark Sovereigns- (Tricephalos, Augur, Equilibrious Beast and Fissure in the Fog) will be added to the game at a later date,' said Bandai Namco. According to the Bandai Namco, a new Everdark Sovereign will make its way to Limveld each week. Players who have already conquered the standard version of that specific Nightlord will then become eligible to challenge its more powerful Everdark Sovereign form. Once the limited-time window ends, the Sovereign will no longer be accessible in Expeditions—at least temporarily. As per the video game publisher: 'These limited-time versions of the Nightlords are extremely challenging and pose an even greater threat to the Nightfarers with new moves and increased power.' Elden Ring Nightreign tough fight: Availability and awards Everdark Sovereigns can only be battled in online mode, and each one is available for a limited duration. For instance, the enhanced Gaping Jaw will remain accessible until June 25 at 8:59 PM ET (6:29 am IST, June 26). When players beat an Everdark Sovereign, they will get 'Sovereign Sigils,' which they can exchange for 'special Relics and other items.' According to a report by The Verge, the game will also receive DLC update in some time which would add new playable characters and bosses. Additionally, an Elden Ring movie is reportedly in the works. Elden Ring Nightreign: What's new in version 1.01.1 Single-player mode changes: A new effect, 'Automatic Revival Upon Defeat,' has been introduced to solo expeditions, allowing players to revive once during each Night boss encounter. Rune rewards for solo expeditions have been increased. General gameplay adjustments: Players reaching Day 3 in Expeditions will now receive more high-rarity Relics as part of their rewards. The odds of obtaining high-rarity Relics from Scenic Flat stones at the Small Jar Bazaar have also been raised. Update version 1.01.1 also resolves several user-reported issues. One fix corrects an imbalance where certain Greataxe and Great Hammer attacks from Raider weapons were inflicting excessive damage. On PC, a rendering bug has been addressed where some graphics did not load properly when the 'Low' option was selected under 'Quality Settings' in the Graphics tab.

The most OP build for every Nightfarer in Elden Ring Nightreign

(Image via Bandai Namco Entertainment) Elden Ring: Nightreign introduces eight Nightfarers, the unique warriors with each having their distinct playstyles. They all excel in varied combat roles—from unbreakable tanking to ranged sniping and more. But to truly dominate and succeed, you need to have the most overpowered builds for every Nightfarer. Here is how you can maximize the potential of these eight champions. All Mysterious Nightfarers OP Elden Ring Nightreign builds There are six mysterious Nightfarers in Elden Ring Nightreign. For each of theirs overpowered Nightfarer builds, you need right relics, weapons and more. Duchess Unleash the hidden DPS beast of the Duchess, the most underestimated Nightfarer, with her Restage skill at the core. Stack some dormant powers, like Character Skill Cooldown Reduction, relentlessly. Equip her with some relics like Golden Dew and Crown Medal to enhance repetition or add some extra hits. Duchess is Overpowered - Best Build Guide! (Elden Ring Nightreign) Combine Duchess relics with fast bleed weapons like Great Knife or Reduvia for amplifying burst damage. Each of the bleed procs can be restaged potentially, causing rapid and massive health bar collapses. With the right build, the Duchess Nightfarer becomes a blur of the lethal, high-DPS assassin who perfectly repeats her strikes, shredding the bosses. Guardian The Guardian thrives as the immovable defender/fortress in the overpowered mode. His Whirlwind skill can disrupt enemies, while Wings of Salvation helps protect allies. Seek Golden Sprout and Draw enemy attention while guarding relics. Then combine it with shields like Briar Greastshield or Spiked Palisade. Most Overpowered GUARDIAN Build- Elden Ring: Nightreign Guardian's dormant powers, like Improved Physical Negation and HP recovery on Successful Guards, are essential to make the Nightfarer near-invincible. The setup allows players to anchor a fight and soak everything while allies unleash the havoc. Give priority to resistance and stamina upgrades for holding a line indefinitely against the fiercest onslaughts. Ironeye Ironeye is the toxic sniper who excels at long-range harassment, but his damage feels lacking against the bosses. Secure Harp Bow early on, ideally from the poison ruins. Then, pair it with the Night of the Wise relic, giving a boost to the attack power against some poisoned foes. Ironeye is OP - Advanced Guide (Elden Ring NIghtreign) The key dormant powers of this Nightfarer are Poison and Rot. It can trigger continuous HP recovery. It helps to ensure sustainability and create a devastating loop— poison arrows can drain the health from afar while helping Ironeye sustain itself as a DoT monster. It even bypasses the lower base damage of Ironeye, making the class a nightmare for the Nightlords, who crumble under the constant and safe toxin application. Raider Nightreign ditches the equipment load and frees Raider to have dual-wielded and pure chaos. Wield 2 colossal weapons like the Axe of Godfrey. Night of the Beast relic is important for the Raider's overpowered build, boosting the attack power when wielding multiple colossal arms. Raider is OP - Build Guide! (Elden Ring Nightreign) Give priority to Improved Stance-Breaking, the dormant power. The build can deliver staggering and screen-shaking blows constantly, making him the one-man wrenching crew. With the right powers and relics, Raider becomes an unstoppable force, shattering enemy posture and clearing all paths with overwhelming physical power. Recluse Recluse, the Nightfarer can absorb the elemental affinities to unleash some devastating spells. Maximize the ultimate of Recluse with Soulblood Song. Equip Carian Regal Scepter and some relics like Bone-like Stone (giving a boost to ultimate Arts gauge and the attack power when active) and Vestige of Night. Recluse is the Most Broken OP Class | Elden Ring Nightreign Guide | Tips & Tricks | How to Play Target some dormant powers like Improved Sorceries/Incantations and Blood Loss in Vicinity increases her Attack Boost. It can turn Recluse into the devastating heal and damage engine. The allies heal, attacking marked foes, while their own spells of Recluse hit hard, especially near the bleeding enemies. Wylder Forget all the basic grapples and equip Wylder with a Slate Whetstone relic. It will transform the Nightfarer's grappling hook into a fiery wrecking ball while adding a massive follow-up fire attack, which staggers the bosses. Wylder is Insane - OP Build Guide (Elden Ring Nightreign) Amplify Wylder's carnage using The Wylder's Earring, greatswords, and some dormant powers, giving a boost to fire affinity damage. Suddenly, a close distance will not prove tactical but will be an explosive death sentence. Such synergy makes Wylder the relentless boss-melter, turning mobility to complete annihilation. Other Nightfarers in Elden Ring Nightreign Apart from the 6 mysterious Nightfarer op build discovered above, there are two more Nightfarer in Nightreign. Follow the guide and equip them to be overpowered during the game. Executor The Executor's high Arcane makes him just perfect for the bleed builds. Get Rivers of Blood to immediately leverage his high base Arcane. When paired with the Silver Tear relics, it will help maximize the impact. Most Overpowered EXECUTOR Status Build in Elden Ring: Nightreign The essential dormant power of the Executor is Blood Loss Vicinity. It can increase attack power. It creates a brutal feedback loop—triggering massive damage bursts, inflicting bleed rapidly, while increasing the own attack power. The Executor can carver through the bosses with terrifying efficiency and speed. Revenant Elevate Revenant, the Nightfarer, beyond just basic summons. Keep the focus on the potent incantations with the use of Sacred Seals. Some relics like Old Portrait and Night of the Fathom can enhance the healing output and spell duration. The vital dormant power for Revenant here is Increased Sorcery and Incantation Duration. It can transform her into the vital support pillar, offering sustained buffs and healing. Just forget the summons. Keep the team alive through the longest and one of the most punishing Nightlord encounters with her. Every Nightfarer carries game-changing potential with the right setup. Whether you prefer to tank, spellcast, or snip, these overpowered builds will ensure your dominance in the gameplay. So, equip them now and play a game of overpowering Nightfarer.
