Elden Ring Nightreign Introduces More Formidable Nightlord Bosses and a New NPC for Brave Challengers

Honestly, have you ever logged off after a day wrapped up in Elden Ring Nightreign news only to have the real fun drop when you’re not looking? That’s what hit me yesterday. FromSoftware, those devs with a knack for dramatic twists, sort of quietly tossed in a surprise. Like, no fanfare. Boom, there’s this crazy tough boss now skulking around the game. It’s all a bit wild, to be honest.

So, here’s the scoop. A while back, the devs hinted at spicing things up with duo modes and sprucing up the Nightlords—whatever that means. Duo things? Still waiting. But bam, they started rolling out these “Everdark Sovereigns,” which are tougher spins on the usual Nightlords. Oh, joy.

Player chatter just blew up. Out of nowhere, they found this unannounced boss, the Sovereign of Gaping Jaws, just lurking. Can you take it? Only if you’ve clobbered the Nightlord version before. It’s part of a weekly boss shuffle. Next week, you’ll get Sentient Pest. After that…forgot what comes after. Darkdrift Knight, maybe?

And get this—defeating these bosses nets you something called Sovereign Sigils. Yeah, another NPC sprung up, wanting those sigils in exchange for Relics or items. It’s a bit of a cash register now, but hey, free gear, right? Plus, they let you mess with the game’s map events. Nice shortcut, although it costs sigils. What doesn’t?

Anyway—or should I say, back on track?—there’s more to dive into with these revamped Nightlords. We got some guides for them, you’ll want to peek at those. Otherwise? Keep a weather eye on more sneaky updates. FromSoftware’s always up to something.
