No matter how excited you are, you probably shouldn’t jump blind into hunting down the Nightlords inElden Ring Nightreign. Of course, part of the fun of any game is learning things on your own. But it’s just as nice to have some useful tips to make your game a little more seamless.
Elden Ring Nightreign: Where to Find Executor’s Blessed Flowers
Where to find Executor’s first remembrance item is quite easy, but still dangerous if you aren’t prepared.
There are little things that don’t seem obvious at first, yet wind up being helpful like visiting certain areas for upgrades. Or maybe you don’t want to struggle too much withenemiesand want to show up prepped for how to take them down? With these tips, any fresh Nightfarer can have a better idea of how to handle this deadly expedition.
10Be Mindful of How You Navigate the World
Getting Stuck is Easier Than You Think
One of the most helpful tips you should keep in mind before getting into Elden Ring Nightreign is that you’ll probably get stuck if you don’t plan out your navigation properly. The main thing to keep in mind is that scaling different areas is easier if you aren’t weighed down. So, don’t expect to easily scale that cliff if you’re over-encumbered.
It may take some time for newcomers to learn the map, but it’s worth taking the long route (if you have time). The best way to move quickly is to look for Spiritstreams. These will launch you quite far into the air, letting you cover an incredible amount of ground in seconds. Also, another handy trick is to use any Spiritstream nearby forts to launch yourself right to the top. Typically, you can drop down from there into the room that holds the map to highlight additional locations on your own map.
9Understand the Limitations of the Early Levels
Avoid Early Deaths by Leveling Up
Saying you’re not capable of much at Level 1 is a massive understatement. You won’t leave a real impact until Level 2 as the gap in strength between each level is quite big. There are several weak enemies at the start of your run that will help you gain XP fast.
Elden Ring Nightreign: Stat Scaling for Each Character
Every character in Elden Ring Nightreign is unique, and these are the stats that they excel in.
Thankfully, it doesn’t take a lot of effort to level up in Nightreign. Get runes, open chests, etc. If you ever find yourself stuck during a boss encounter, it doesn’t hurt to back out and find minor enemies to level up some more. There are plenty of mobs you and your team can take out before returning to the big fights.
8Plan for a Balanced Team and Build
Synergy Wins the Battle
Balance is everything, and since you’re always against the clock in Nightreign, you’ll want to take enemies out at a faster pace. Synergy helps with that. Don’t all fall victim to having the exact same build. It pays to have at least one person who can heal so that if you all start dropping, someone can pick you back up again.
Another tip is to check the types of damage that all of you bring to the table. Poison and bleed are top-tier in Nightreign. Imagine if more than one person had a weapon to apply either effect. That’s consistent, heavy damage to the enemy, which can lead you to victory faster.
7Don’t Only Choose Items for Your Class
Everything is Useful
Even loot goblins know there’s no guarantee you’ll uncover weapons or gear you need. But a great tip to keep in mind for your next Elden Ring Nightreign run is that finding items not in yourclassis not a waste. Seemingly useless loot comes in handy.
If you find something out of your class, communicate with the team. Maybe someone else has been looking for that. It’s perfect to build on that synergy we mentioned before. Additionally, you may simply keep it and use it. Someone with no magic and minimal intelligence can still use the most basic attacks from a staff, for example.
6Stay Close to Teammates Even When Downed
Don’t Wait to Get Eliminated
Just because you get knocked down, don’t assume you’re out of the fight. None of us goes into this wanting to get knocked out at any point, but especially early on. As long as you’re in the near-death state, crawl toward your teammates. You still have ample time for someone to pick you up. There are even some NPC party members who can pick you up as long as the battle hasn’t taken them out first.
If there’s no one around or capable of helping you in the moment, simply hide out until the heat dies down. Anything can shelter you, so before you go into a battle, keep an eye out for walls or anything else you can crawl behind in case you ever get knocked down.
5Track Down the Storms
The Battle will be Worth It
There are a few storm locations in Elden Ring Nightreign, and although they will havepowerful enemies, the trick is to fight them anyway. These enemies wield unique, potent weapons, weapons that they will subsequently drop once defeated.
Gratefully, these weapons lack any level requirement. So, if you take the time out to destroy these enemies, you’re able to rack up some great weapons before facing down the major bosses. Just be sure to finish off the battle as soon as possible so you can get back on track with your run.
4Plan Your Cave Diving Accordingly
An Easier Way to Find Powerful Loot
Caves look intimidating, and rightfully so. They usually hold some heavy-hitting enemies that will easily take you out at Level 1. Going into caves on the first day is not ideal. Most likely, you’ll blow all your time if you’re taking things slow because you aren’t strong enough. There’s a strong chance you’ll find yourself stuck and lose out before you can even begin.

So, wait a day or so and jump into cave diving. You’ll be up a few more levels by then, and you should have an easier time going through to get all the loot you need. And these caves are worth it since you’ll gather plenty of Smithing Stones to make your weapons even stronger.
3Time Map Exploring with the Circle
It Shrinks Faster Than You Think
A tip to streamline your expeditions in Nightreign is to focus on specific areas on the map. Good loot is found in numerous places, but that circle will be on top of you before you can blink. It moves much faster than you realize at first. One of the best thing you can do is start from the outside and work your way in. It’s a reliable, strategic approach to finish the outer areas, gathering XP so that you’re ready for the tougher enemies.
Granted, you should have enough time to complete a single task or two once you notice the circle shrinking. This is why it pays to be as ready as possible with good gear, weapons, and that team synergy to wipe out mobs and bosses before being forced to move on.
2Don’t Hoard Consumables
Use What You Have ASAP
If you’re coming from Elden Ring or other similar games, locking down consumables is a habit. But that doesn’t work the same in Nightreign. Once a new round rolls around, you won’t keep them. It makes little sense to cling to them then. The trick to making it far in Nightreign is to use up those consumables.
These will help you get through battles and score more XP so you can level up promptly. And by now, everyone understands the importance of quick leveling in this time-based experience.
1Detour to a Site of Grace Often
It Offers Invaluable Recovery Options
Here is where you want to remember your time spent in the OG Elden Ring. Sites of Grace are always key locations to visit. Nightreign may pile on the pressure with time and the circle that seems to creep closer every time you look at it, but that doesn’t mean you should forego heading to those Sites of Grace.
Every time you touch one, your revive gauge replenishes. These serve as the perfect checkpoints before you run off to a final boss fight. Also, a fun trick in Nightreign is to lure field enemies toward a Site of Grace. This will give you a consistent supply of health while you battle.
