Crafting the best Raider build in Elden Ring Nightreign is slightly less challenging than many of the other Nightfarers, though that's only because he's so straightforward. My beloved Raider is your standard strength main, caring for little beyond headbutting every enemy he can and screaming as he produces a giant rock from the ground.

Unlocking the ability to change appearance in Elden Ring Nightreign, so you can try new Nightfarer outfits, is actually quite challenging. In fact, it might be the hardest change appearance option to unlock that I've ever seen in a game, though this is primarily due to the fact that completing expeditions and defeating Nightlords is fairly tough at the best of times.

I remember the first time I switched to Ironeye. I'd been trundling along as Raider, enjoying my ability to headbutt everyone and create a big stupid rock whose chief purpose seems to be breaking the game. It was a fun time, but each Nightlord fight felt increasingly untenable; I'd chase them around the arena, and every time I was about to land a hit, they'd up and move again. Even when I was able to get into melee, the risk didn't feel worth it relative to the damage I was doing.

Putting together the best Ironeye build in Elden Ring Nightreign can be quite challenging when so much is randomized and down to what you find during your expedition to trounce each Nightlord. Instead, the best build for each Nightfarer depends on what you find, who you're fighting, and even what you have available in terms of starting relics. That doesn't mean you should just give up and grab whatever comes up, though.

Choosing the best relics in Elden Ring Nightreign goes a long way to helping you defeat whatever fearsome Nightlord you're facing next. You can equip three relics of different colours overall, granting a variety of bonuses that range from being great to kind of garbage due to their weird specificity.

Finding Stonesword Keys in Elden Ring Nightreign is a bit different to how you got them in the original game. You use these special items to unlock the Evergaols dotted around Limveld, and since these are such a lucrative way of defeating bosses, you'll want to pick them up whenever you can. Luckily, there's a pretty much guaranteed way to get Stonesword Keys as you're cutting a path through forts and cathedrals, so you can grab them while ticking off other vital expedition tasks.

The first question many people will undoubtedly have loading up Elden Ring Nightreign is: where are the Dark Souls outfits? FromSoft showed off these special Souls cosmetics during the overview trailer for the game, where we got to see Solaire, the Faraam set, and Ringfinger Leonhard. The good news is that there are lots more, with two Dark Souls outfits for every character.

Wondering what Nightreign bosses you'll get to fight in the new game? Since hearing that a selection of Dark Souls bosses were making an appearance in Elden Ring Nightreign, I was super excited to hop into an expedition and see who I'd come up against. Besides the eight main Nightlord bosses you can fight, I've also faced six bosses from all three Dark Souls games.

Putting together anElden Ring Nightreign tier list might seem a little redundant—you're supposed to be able to pick who you want to bring to Limveld based on preferred playstyle. While that's still 100% true, I was quite surprised to see how unbalanced the roster of Nightfarer's feels.

Discovering how to beat Gladius in Elden Ring Nightreign is your first major trial, and honestly, it's one that might cause many players to bounce off the game entirely. The trickiest thing about Gladius, Beast of Night, despite his hefty health pool, is that he transforms from a three-headed dog into three one-headed dogs, and everything gets a bit chaotic from then on. In a game where coordination is key, if you're playing randos, you're going to have a much harder time against this boss.
