Elden Ring Nightreign Introduces Fiercer Nightlord Bosses and a New NPC for Challengers

Hey, so get this. I was knee-deep in checking out updates for Elden Ring Nightreign, feeling all accomplished after jotting down that the latest patch was a snooze-fest, right? Then BAM! Outta nowhere, something juicy hits the fan.

The people at FromSoftware — bless their mysterious hearts — had been all chatty about a duo mode and “enhanced fights against existing Nightlords” or something to that effect. Yet, crickets on the duo mode, folks. Nada. But those “enhanced fights”? Well, turns out they weren’t kidding. Without so much as a heads-up, players stumbled upon an upgraded boss fight. Surprise!

Diving into the chaos, these pumped-up bosses are called Everdark Sovereigns. And, oh boy, do they up the ante. Each week, a new powerhouse takes the spotlight. Who’s on now, you ask? It’s Sovereign of Gaping Jaws, also known as Adel. If you beat him before, congrats, you get a crack at him again. Sentient Pest is queuing up next, followed by Darkdrift Knight — the lineup’s pretty stacked.

Oh, and FromSoft’s got a simmering pot of other fearsome versions in the works like Tricephalos and Equilibrious Beast. So, brace yourselves. Adel’s around till Thursday, June 25, so better hustle if you want to tango with him.

Speaking of wild updates, there’s a new NPC lurking about with a bag full of jobs. This mystery helper trades Sovereign Sigils (which you earn by trouncing Sovereign Nightlords) for relics and cool loot. First-time wins get you bonus sigils — score!

Plus, this NPC’s got another trick. Wanna mess with Nightreign’s Shifting Earth or stir up some map events? Yep, they’re your go-to, provided you cough up those sigils. No more endless grinding through bosses just to see what’s next.

Honestly, between you and me, there’s probably a ton more hiding beneath the surface waiting for us to unearth. If you’re yet to conquer all Nightlords, don’t sweat it — we’ve whipped up a handy guide on their weak spots. Dive in prepared and all that jazz. Anyway, if you’ve got questions — like, any question whatsoever — our Elden Ring Nightreign guide’s got your back. Happy gaming!
