About ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN
ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN is a standalone adventure set in the ELDEN RING universe that reimagines the core design for a fresh experience. Players explore the shifting land of Limveld, hunting powerful Nightlords while confronting a relentless night‑time threat.

01 / THE GUIDE
Three‑Player Co‑op
Players can join forces with up to two friends, forming a party of three Nightfarers. The co‑op session lasts for two full in‑game days, during which the team hunts a Nightlord and survives the night’s hazards.
Friends may be invited directly or found through the game’s matchmaking. The experience is described as “ever‑changing,” meaning each session presents a new layout of Limveld and a fresh Nightlord encounter.
- Coordinate each hero’s passive, skill, and ultimate to maximize synergy.
- Communicate when the Nightlord’s commander is defeated to prepare for the boss appearance.
02 / THE GUIDE
Eight Distinct Heroes
The game offers eight uniquely skilled heroes, each with a passive ability, a character skill, and an ultimate art. These tools reflect each hero’s history and background, providing varied combat options.
While any hero can stand alone, the design encourages combining different abilities to create powerful team synergies during hunts.
- Experiment with different hero combos to discover effective ability pairings.
- Use each hero’s ultimate art at critical moments, such as when the Nightlord appears.

Nightlords and Nightly Bosses
Nightlords are massive beings that emerge after their commanders are defeated in two consecutive nights. They serve as the primary bosses that players must defeat to end the reign of night.
Each Nightlord appears in a land that changes between sessions, requiring players to adapt their tactics to new terrain and environmental threats.
- Focus on eliminating the Nightlord’s commander early to trigger the boss fight.
- Study the environment each session to avoid surprise hazards.

Dynamic Limveld Environment

The changing landscape means that routes, cover, and enemy placements differ each time, encouraging exploration and adaptability.
- Scout the area early to locate safe zones and chokepoints.
- Adjust hero positioning based on the current layout to mitigate environmental damage.
