Elden Ring Nightreign: every Nightlord and Everdark boss, beaten without taking damage
Every named Nightlord and Everdark Sovereign in Nightreign with a no-hit run for each, plus the Shifting Earth events, the unlockable characters and the trophies people miss.

Nightreign is a different animal to base Elden Ring. Runs are short, the Nightlord at the end of one does not care how well you did in the last, and the Everdark Sovereign versions turn fights you had handled into fights you have not.
Every boss below has a run recorded without taking damage. That matters more here than in a normal guide: when nobody trades hits, the attack tells and the openings are visible, which is the whole point of watching one.
The Nightlords
| Boss | Also known as |
|---|---|
| Adel, Baron of Night | The Gaping Jaw |
| Gladius, Beast of Night | Tricephalos |
| Fulghor, Champion of Nightflow | |
| Gnoster, Wisdom of Night | The Sentient Pest |
| Libra, Creature of Night | |
| Caligo, Miasma of Night | |
| Dreg Lord | |
| Darkdrift Knight | |
| Maris | |
| Harmonia | The Balancers, Harmonia Armees |
| Heolstor, the Nightlord | The last one |
| Night Idol |
If you are working through them in order of pain, Adel and Gladius are where most people first stall, and Heolstor is the wall at the end.
Everdark Sovereigns
The Everdark versions are the same bosses rebuilt to punish the habits you learned on the originals. Solo no-hit runs exist for:
- Everdark Adel, and a cheese glitch that skips the fight
- Everdark Gladius
- Everdark Gnoster
- Everdark Fulghor
- Everdark Caligo
- Everdark Maris
- Everdark Weapon-Bequeathed Harmonia
There is also a full all bosses, solo, no hit, no damage run if you want the whole set in one sitting.
Shifting Earth secret events
The map rearranges between runs, and four of those states hide their own event. All four have a completion guide:
| Event | |
|---|---|
| The Mountaintop | |
| Rotted Woods | |
| Noklateo, the Shrouded City | |
| The Crater |
These are the easiest thing in the game to play around for fifty hours without realising they exist.
Characters, relics and rituals
- Unlock the Duchess and unlock the Revenant, with a combined guide for both
- Change character mid-run, and change character skins and armour
- Perform the Relic Rite, which is the Relic trophy
- Equip a second goblet and perform the second relic ritual, which is the Vessel trophy
- Replay the tutorial, which is how you get the Fell Omen Fetish relic
Replaying the tutorial surprises people. It is the only way back to that relic.
Quest lines worth finishing
Both of these hand out the strongest relics in the game:
- Recluse, complete with all remembrances
- Guardian, complete with all remembrances
The Guardian line asks you to forgive or punish Recluse. There is a guide on what that choice actually changes, because the game does not tell you.
Trophies people miss
| Trophy | |
|---|---|
| True Arbiter | Lift the curse |
| Typhoon | Increases your power |
| Set and Steadfast | |
| Old Gaol | Earn 30,000 runes |
| Plague of Locusts | Stop the locusts stealing your runes |
Two things that will save you a run
There are two "practical tips" collections on the channel covering things most players never work out, and one guide specifically on the mistake to never make. There are also secret talismans in a place people walk past.
A note on the glitches: an exploit that never loses a fight was working when it was recorded, and FromSoftware patches these. Treat any glitch here as something to check against your current version rather than rely on.
