A new update for Elden Ring Nightreign launched on Thursday, adding an extra layer of challenge. The first of the game’s Everdark Sovereigns, stronger and more challenging versions of existing bosses, is here, letting players test themselves against a familiar foe – but only for a limited time.
Players can now face off against Adel’s Everdark Sovereign version, Baron of the Night (also known as “Gaping Jaw”) in Elden Ring Nightreign . Defeating this extra-spicy nightlord will reward players with a new item: Sovereign Sigils. These new tokens can be cashed in for special relics “and other items,” publisher Bandai Namco says . Players’ first victory against an Everdark Sovereign nightlord will earn them several Sovereign Sigils, though it appears that repeat battles deal fewer.
If you want to take on the Everdark Sovereign Maw, you’ll need to have already defeated the base version of the Maw. So hurry up if you haven’t; the first EverDark Sovereign encounter will only be available until June 25th at 5:59 PM PDT / 8:17 PM EDT.
Here’s a big catch: Everdark Sovereigns are available for Nightreign Online mode only.
Coming to the Everdark Sovereign rotation in the coming weeks are tougher versions of Sentient Pests and Dark Knight. Comprehensive versions of the other existing bosses will be added later, Bandai Namco says.
Elden Ring Nightreign is available now on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. If you need help getting started, check out Polygon’s guides for Elden Ring Nightreign .
