Elden Ring Nightreign is getting even harder bosses
The bosses in Elden Ring Nightreign are already pretty tough. But if you've gotten good and need a harder challenge, you'll be able to take on 'Everdark Sovereigns,' which are more difficult versions of the game's Nightlord foes you face to conclude a run. '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,' according to a blog post from Bandai Namco. The first Everdark Sovereign you can fight is a new version of Adel, Baron of the Night, aka Gaping Jaw. If you've beaten the normal version of that boss, you'll be able to take on the new form. When you beat an Everdark Sovereign, you'll get 'Sovereign Sigils,' which you can exchange for 'special Relics and other items.' There are a couple caveats to be aware of. You can only fight Everdark Sovereigns while playing online. And Everdark Sovereigns will only be available for a limited time — the upgraded Gaping Jaw, for example, will stick around until June 25th at 8:59 PM ET. Bandai Namco says a new Everdark Sovereign will be added every week, and over the 'next few weeks,' Everdark versions of Sentient Pest and Darkdrift Knight will be added to the game. Other Everdark bosses will be added 'at a later date.' Based on the blog post, it seems like Everdark variations will eventually return after they've disappeared.

Elden Ring Nightreign doesn't offer duos, so players are going online to ask for a third: "Hey we saw [you] from across the Roundtable and thought you looked cool"
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Elden Ring Nightreign is finally here, but to get the full co-op roguelike experience like FromSoftware intended, you need two buddies by your side to form a trio and take on the Nightlords together. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have a pair of Souls-loving friends to play with, however, which is already leading to the action RPG's subreddit getting flooded with requests from people "looking for a third." Nightreign being tailored to three people specifically is somewhat of an unusual choice. You can play solo, although it's generally not recommended, or in teams of three with friends or randoms, but pairs aren't allowed to embark on Limveld together. In fact, director Junya Ishizaki previously revealed that the concept of allowing duos to play together "is simply something that was overlooked during development," and "we're very sorry about that." Although "this is something that we are looking at and considering for post-launch support," for the time being, duos are desperately searching for solo players on the likes of Reddit to round out their teams. The dedicated Nightreign subreddit is full of this, in fact, despite it being mere hours since the game launched. The responses to these requests generally appear to be helpful, with plenty of solo players offering the likes of their PSN names so they can be recruited. However, as you might have noticed at the very start of this article, the requests also tend to be worded in such a way that, well, some have noticed that the subreddit is kind of "looking like a threesome sub right now." While some are a little more specific with their requests for "a third player," others simply beg that they "need a third," or are "two Nightfarers looking for a third." Amused onlookers have already been making plenty of jokes about the situation, which, given the need for players to form trios, is unlikely to end anytime soon. "Hey we saw [you] from across the Roundtable and thought you looked cool," one jokes, while another says: "We espied you at the Roundtable Hold and my companion found your demeanor pleasing." …Anyway, the good news is that the modder behind the popular seamless co-op mods for the likes of Dark Souls Remastered and Elden Ring is already working on a two-player mod for Nightreign. The in-progress version they've shared a video of was apparently just "made for fun," so it's not clear if there are plans to release it, but hopefully they or another modder will soon come to the rescue of PC players who just want to play with one other person. Be sure to check out our Elden Ring Nightreign review to see if it's worth your time, or our list of new games for 2025 and beyond for more upcoming releases.

All Nightlords in Elden Ring Nightreign
Image via: FromSoftware With Elden Ring: Nightreign, FromSoftware has once again plunged players into a haunting, labyrinthine world of epic boss battles — this time centered around the enigmatic Nightlords. Spread across various expeditions, these eight fearsome foes represent the thematic and mechanical heart of the expansion. Here's a breakdown of every Nightlord encounter, their unique mechanics, and why they matter beyond just a health bar. A Ritual of Progression: Unlocking the Nightlords Initially, you face only Gladius, Beast of Night, in the Tricephalos expedition — a three-headed Cerberus-like monstrosity with fire breath and blade skills. Defeating Gladius opens the path to six new expeditions, each guarded by a distinct Nightlord. After beating any four of these bosses, players can access the final expedition: Night Aspect, where the true endgame boss, Heolstor the Nightlord, awaits. Elden Ring Nightreign - All Nightlords Solo Deathless Boss Fights (Pre-Patch) This design cleverly mixes progression with exploration, allowing players to shape their path while still needing to conquer a variety of mechanics and themes. Night and Narrative: Themes Behind Each Nightlord Each Nightlord isn't just a boss; they're an embodiment of a specific "aspect" of night. Adel, Baron of Night (Gaping Jaw) manifests raw aggression and primal fear, with a grotesque, lightning-wielding dragon form. Gnoster, Wisdom of Night (Sentient Pest) represents arcane intellect, mixing insectoid monstrosities with a magically-enhanced moth. Maris, Fathom of Night (Augur) delves into dream logic, floating eerily while summoning phantom arms and casting sleep-inducing spells. These aren't just thematic skins, each Nightlord presents a distinct rhythm to learn and counter. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cinnamon: The Greatest Enemy Of Blood Sugar (See How To Use It) bloghealthnet Learn More Undo Some, like Caligo, Miasma of Night, test your endurance through massive arena control, while others, such as Libra, Creature of Night, force players to contend with layered debuffs and hard-to-counter status effects like Madness. What Makes These Bosses Stand Out FromSoftware's DNA is in its boss design, and Nightreign ups the ante by integrating dual-phase battles, hybrid movement mechanics (flying enemies, centaurs, etc.), and environmental effects such as Caligo's vision-obscuring windstorm or Fulghor's sweeping poison-arm attacks. Fulghor, Champion of Nightglow, may be the standout mechanically, a centaur knight who leaps, charges, and uses wind AoEs before transforming mid-fight. His second phase introduces a poison mutation that forces repositioning and punishes melee builds. Meanwhile, Libra offers a mage's nightmare with unpredictable casting rotations and overlapping status effects. Elden Ring Nightreign - Beat ALL Nightlords EASY Every Run - Best Easy Nightlord Boss & Class Guide! Interestingly, some Nightlords can invade other expeditions, giving repeat playthroughs a refreshing unpredictability. Gnoster, Maris, and Libra have been spotted beyond their home zones, spicing up expected encounters. After four clears, you earn the right to face Heolstor, a final boss that echoes Dark Souls' Soul of Cinder. He blends varied styles: lava AoEs, deceptive movement, and erratic aggression. Holy damage helps, but survival hinges on team synergy and endurance. Ultimately, the Nightlords make Nightreign more than just DLC, they reframe how Elden Ring handles boss progression, narrative symbolism, and mechanical experimentation. Whether it's the puzzle-like design of Maris or the raw spectacle of Caligo, each Nightlord is a chapter in a larger, shadow-drenched mythos, one that beckons Tarnished old and new to step into the night once more.
