Elden Ring Nightreign has just become more challenging, thanks to the introduction of a more powerful variant of the Nightlords.

Following the release of the game’s latest minor update mainly focused on fixing bugs, Nightfarers will now encounter Everdark Sovereigns during Expeditions. Over the next few weeks, they can take on more powerful variants of the Gaping Jaw, Sentient Pest, and Darkdrift Knight bosses, with other Everdark Sovereigns getting added to the game later. Every week, a new Sovereign will arrive in Limveld for everyone who has already defeated the base version of the boss, and when the time is up, they will disappear. Those who manage to take down these limited-time versions of the Nightlords will be rewarded with Sovereign Sigils that can be exchanged for special Relics and other items. The first Everdark Sovereign, an enhanced version of Adel, Baron of the Night, will be available until June 26 9:59 JST 2:59 CEST 5:59 PM PDT.

Considering there isn’t much to do in Elden Ring Nightreign after defeating the game’s final boss, the introduction of more powerful Nightlords is more than welcome. Not that the game needed more challenge, as some of the base Nightlords are among the most challenging bosses created by FromSoftware, as I highlighted in my review.

Elden Ring Nightreign is now available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S worldwide.
