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

So, there I was, just chilling after a day of talking about this game, Elden Ring Nightreign. Everything seemed normal—like, just the usual updates. And then bam! Real news sneaks in like a ninja in the night, all stealth-like, with no grand announcements or anything. What’s up with that?

Anyway—no, wait—what was I on about? Oh right, those wild Everdark Sovereigns. They’re basically pumped-up versions of Nightlords, which sounds cool if you’re into having your ego crushed by virtual baddies. The first one’s already dropped in-game, and let’s just say it wasn’t on anyone’s bingo card for the day. FromSoft—the folks behind this madness—explained in a blog that these bad boys rotate weekly. You gotta beat the OG Nightlord first before unlocking the supercharged version. Kind of like unlocking Boss Level 2, but scarier.

So, who’s on the chopping block this week? It’s the Sovereign of Gaping Jaws—Adel if you’re on first-name terms. But don’t get too comfy. Sentient Pest rolls up next week, followed by the Darkdrift Knight. And more are coming—names like Tricephalos and Fissure in the Fog. Sounds like band names, honestly.

Oh, and in a twist that nobody asked for, there’s this new NPC hanging around. They do a bunch of stuff, but most importantly, they swap Sovereign Sigils for nifty Relics. It’s like a treasure hunt with fewer shovels involved.

There’s also this whole thing about changing Shifting Earth events with your well-earned Sigils. Saves you from the usual tedious Nightlord-defeating grind. Seriously, it’s like a video game hack without the guilt—wait, is it just me, or does this sound shady?

More surprises are probably lurking as folks dig in. Haven’t tackled all those Nightlords yet? We whipped up a weaknesses guide. Perfect for walking in overly confident. Or not. Whatever floats your boat.
