Elden Ring Nightreign: Know the Relic that makes Boss fights way too easy
Elden Ring: Nightreign is already proving to be a wild ride. The bosses are bigger, the world is darker, and the challenges are tougher than ever. But now, players have found a sneaky way to make those intense boss fights feel almost too easy. The trick? A relic called the Grand Luminous Scene. This relic boosts your attack and stacks endlessly Players have discovered that every time you defeat an Evergaol prisoner, this relic gives a 5% boost to your attack power. That might sound small, but here's the catch, the effect stacks and doesn't expire. So, the more Evergaol fights you win, the more powerful you get. A lot of players are now spending the early part of their runs clearing out these easier Evergaol bosses before tackling the real monsters like the Nightlords or Everdark Sovereigns. By the time they reach the heavy-hitters, their damage output is through the roof. You only need one of the relics (duplicates don't help) There's been some confusion in the community about whether equipping two of the same relic gives double the power. Turns out, it doesn't. Players say the game only counts the bonus from one relic, even if you're carrying two. But that doesn't matter much when each Evergaol boss keeps making you stronger. Players are now speeding through the early game One player shared, 'I used to do like one Evergaol per run, but now I go for five, and the damage is insane.' Another pointed out that by doing just Evergaols and some mini bosses on Day 1, they hit level 15 without even touching the main castle. The new meta seems to be: farm Evergaols early, stack damage, and cruise through the rest of the game. For more guides and stories on Elden Ring Nightreign, click here!

How to get worlds' biggest health bar in Elden Ring Nightreign?
(Image via Bandai Namco Entertainment) Tarnished adventurers of Elden Ring: Nightreign are uncovering the path to a truly monstrous resilience. Forget about merely surviving the boss hits as the whispers speak of a health bar that is so vast that it literally vanishes off-screen. Achieving the near-legendary endurance level is hinged on some specific legendary armament and the player's dedicated strategy. Here is the complete guide on pushing up your vitality or, rather, HP to absolutely ridiculous levels. How to get the biggest health bar in Elden Ring Nightreign ? Key to the monstrous health pool is the Grafted Blade Greatsword. The returning legendary weapon boasts a unique and game-altering passive effect that is exclusive to Power of Vengeance in Elden Ring: Nightreign. Quite crucially, just equipping the sword would activate the power, and you do not even need to swing it within combat. Power of Vengeance offers permanent and stacking boosts to players' Health or HP and Focus Point (FP) apart from Stamina every time they defeat an enemy. Every kill makes a small yet cumulative contribution of 0.5%. Consider it as a compounding interest in the core attributes of your character. The effect persists via rests and death, thereby making every slain foe a direct investment in your future survivability in Elden Ring. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play Chess on Your PC, Free Play Classic Chess Install Now Undo Elden Ring Nightreign | All Legendary Weapons and Skills (Network test version) Players who can grab the sword early on will be able to farm weak enemies for snowballing the stats. A tester killed 200 foes, resulting in a health bar so massive that the damage could barely make a dent. So, the earlier you find this weapon, the more absurd the survivability of yours becomes. Master the grind with strategic farming Remember that passive triggers on every kill and efficiency require smart farming. The tiny boosts for every kill mean that volume is important here. So, the goal must be to find the scenarios wherein you could rapidly defeat larger weak and respawning enemies without any downtime or significant risk. Note: Any class could abuse the passive of Grafted Blade. Just equip it and let buffs pile up. If you pair it with Oath of Vengeance skills, you will have a build which will trivialize even the toughest of Nightlords. The absolute prime opportunity would arise if you could encounter specific early-game Night Boss, who are known to continuously spawn smaller minions. Instead of keeping the focus on the main boss, give priority to eliminating endlessly replenishing ads. It will create a perfect and controlled environment for racking up 100s of kills. Also, the earlier you are able to acquire Grafted Blade and find such a boss, the more time you will have to exploit the growth potential. Your patience here is paramount. So, dedicate time to methodically clearing waves of minions. To witness your health bar expand steadily beyond the edge of the screen, making even some of the powerful attacks look like mere scratches, is your ultimate reward for focused effort. So, secure the sword, find the right boss and then commit to the grind. The biggest health bar in the world awaits you. Game On Season 1 kicks off with Sakshi Malik's inspiring story.

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.

Elden Ring Nightreign Patch 1.01.2, Bug Fixes, Targeted Platforms and More
Image via: Bandai Namco FromSoftware further polishes its latest dark fantasy epic with Patch 1.01.2 for Elden Ring: Nightreign. Patch 1.01.2 arrives on all platforms, including PC (Steam), PlayStation 4/5, and Xbox One/Series X|S. Arriving swiftly on the heels of Patch 1.01.1, which notably reduced the difficulty of single-player combat, this update resolves persistent bugs and shores up the game's foundation for future content rollouts. Core Bug Fixes That Improve Gameplay The patch addresses a handful of bugs quirkily affecting gameplay. One of the very serious being an exploit in which applying the "Add (Magic/Lightning/Holy) to Weapon" passive effect to a bow would, in effect, actually increase its physical attack power, thus giving an unfair advantage to players doing the exploit. This ranged attack fix does other things: Weapon skill damage bonuses and status effects were being errantly applied by non-direct attacks. In loot mechanics, FromSoftware fixed a bug where weapons with the 'Projectile Damage Drop-Off Reduced' passive effect were excluded from chest and enemy drops, limiting player access to effective builds. Although subtle, these changes are crucial to ensure the combat and exploration proceed fairly and Elden Ring Nightreign - This BREAKS the Game - Get INFINITE Time & 100% Level 15 Every Run - Guide! Alongside combat and itemization, the Nightreign progression experienced changes. A major bug causing the elusive Demon Merchant to disappear under certain conditions in the "Find the Demon Merchant in Limveld" quest has been resolved, now restoring this key NPC to the Guardian's Remembrance arc. Similarly, Libra, Creature of Night, was fixed for overly repetitive behavior that made the fight unchallenging and predictable. Adel, Baron of Night, crashed the game for some players in certain phases of the battle, and this one was fixed to give better stability during important boss fights. The fix for the grab from Wormface should also bring in some new life into multiplayer mode, fixing some bumps in this regard. To get the changes, players will need to go online and update Application Ver. 1.01.2 with Regulation Ver. 1.01.3. On the consoles, this will require a login to the server and downloading the regulation files from there. Without this, online service will stay offline.

Hopefully you're up to some fun and exciting things for the next few days, or are sitting at home playing with your brand-new Nintendo Switch 2. We're gearing up for some exciting stuff, with a few of our writers off on international trips for some exciting, secret things we can show off in the coming weeks. In the meantime, here are a few exciting things we can share now: a few of our favourite things from our personal collections, as well as a special message from one of Man of Many's co-founders. Enjoy! Blundstone #2446's Blundstone #2446's Beatrix Boon – Social Content Producer I took my Blundstone #2446's with me on a recent trip to New York, and at the time, it was a bit of a risk considering I hadn't worn them a bunch till then. But now I can't take them off! I've always been a sneaker person, but ever since breaking them in, they are genuinely more comfortable than my trainers. Between walking Brooklyn streets and navigating Manhattan subways, they held up beautifully — It was all-day comfort and classic style. Plus, the leather is wearing so nicely, I can tell they're gonna be with me for a long time to come. Safe to say, they've officially earned a permanent spot in my rotation.

Elden Ring: Nightreign is Kicking My Ass Dean Blake – Entertainment and Tech Journalist As someone who has spent hundreds of hours of his life dying repeatedly in most of From Software's dark fantasy games, Elden Ring: Nightreign feels very familiar, but also very different. It's effectively the same old Souls formula—a third-person action RPG with much of the gameplay dictated by how well you can manage your stamina bar when being pelted by an over-aggressive enemy—but with a much bigger focus on multiplayer and a rogue-like gameplay loop. You (and potentially two others) are dropped into the game's large, detailed map, and are given 2 in-game days to explore, collect weapons, power-up your chosen character, and get to the next major boss fight before the rains come and lay waste to the world. You're effectively avoiding the storm from Fortnite, only without slurp juice for safety. After surviving two nights, you're taken straight to the run-ending boss, and get rewards based on how well you do. Then, you do it all again. It's much faster than almost any other Souls-style game From has made, and reduces much of the RPG-elements in order to speed up decision making. You're not building out a custom character but are choosing an archetype (Strength-based Barbarian, or Magic-focused Witch, for example) and leaning into it wholeheartedly. It makes it both an easier game to recommend to newcomers, and way harder. Runs aren't too long, lasting about 40 minutes if everything goes well and you actually manage to beat whatever Nightlord you've chosen to take on. If you're like me though, you're probably spending 10-15 minutes solo grinding through the world before getting absolutely hammered by the first boss. The single player scaling isn't quite there yet, so bring some friends.
