If you’ve stepped away from Elden Ring Nightreign for a while, it’s time to dive back in, as FromSoftware just rolled out an exciting new feature—the Everdark Sovereign mode. This fresh gameplay option allows players to engage with enhanced versions of the Nightlords, adding more challenge and excitement to your gaming experience. Let’s explore what you need to know about this new mode.
FromSoftware has built a reputation for creating engaging and challenging game mechanics, and with the introduction of Everdark Sovereign, they’ve succeeded once again. This newly implemented feature caters to both seasoned players and those returning to the game, ensuring a thrilling experience across the board.
1. What is Everdark Sovereign in Elden Ring Nightreign?
In straightforward terms, Everdark Sovereign expeditions are ‘hard modes’ for existing Nightlords within Elden Ring Nightreign. However, this hard mode goes beyond just a boost in health and damage; it introduces an entirely new set of moves for the bosses, increased damage negation, and AI modifications that enhance their aggressiveness.
These unique bosses will only be available as weekly events, meaning you will only have a certain timeframe to take them on. Currently, the inaugural Everdark Sovereign boss, Adel, Baron of the Night (Gaping Jaw), is active until June 26 at 5:59 PM PDT.
Additionally, enhanced versions of Sentient Pest and Darkdrift Knight are set to challenge players in upcoming events.
The new Gaping Jaw features a third phase that activates when its health drops below 50%. In this phase, players will encounter completely new abilities, including a Lightning whirlwind maneuver that necessitates using a spiritstream to evade. Moreover, the original Gaping Jaw’s first two phases are compacted into the initial half of this new boss’s health meter.
2. How to Unlock Everdark Sovereign Nightlords in Elden Ring Nightreign
To face the Everdark Sovereign Nightlords, you must first unlock them. Specifically, you can challenge an Everdark Sovereign variant of a Nightlord only after you have triumphed over its base form within the game. However, there might be additional hurdles to overcome, as some players have noted discrepancies in availability across accounts.
It seems likely that you may need to complete a certain number of character Remembrances in Nightreign to access the Everdark Sovereign mode. Our investigation revealed that an account unable to access this mode had not completed any Remembrances. Additionally, there could be a requirement to own the Deluxe version of the game to access this new DLC.
3. Everdark Sovereign Rewards
Engaging with the Everdark Sovereign mode is not just about the gameplay; it also unlocks unique rewards. Players who defeat the Everdark Sovereign Nightlords will earn Sovereign Sigils, a new in-game currency.
These Sovereign Sigils can be exchanged for various character skins, new Relic chalices, or even for triggering Shifting Earth events—something the community has been eagerly requesting. After your initial victory over the Everdark Sovereign, a new merchant will appear in the Roundtable Hold where you can spend your collected Sigils.
That sums up the key details surrounding the Everdark Sovereign expeditions in Elden Ring Nightreign. Players can look forward to future Enhanced Boss challenges. What are your thoughts on these new hard mode Nightlords? Share them in the comments below.
