True to FromSoftware’s signature style, Elden Ring Nightreign pits players against an intentionally overpowered tutorial boss: a reimagined version of the Fell Omen. Though designed to overwhelm newcomers, victory is achievable with precise tactics, yielding valuable early-game rewards.

The tutorial’s limited arsenal and fixed progression allow focused preparation. Defeat every foe and unlock chests to reach Level 6, securing the Frostbite Claws and Crystalline Rapier. Dual-wielding these arms grants access to Glacial Eruption and activates the Recurrent Arcane Blades passive effect.

When confronting the Fell Omen, resurrect the Dusk Matriarch as instructed. Maintain spatial awareness during combat—let her draw aggression while exploiting openings after hammer strikes. Unleash Glacial Eruption or chain Frostbite Claw combos to trigger freezing effects. The Matriarch’s demise can be reversed via Wylder’s Resurgence Technique, crucial for preserving your advantage. Succeeding on the initial attempt is vital, as subsequent tries lack NPC support.

Upon triumph, interact with the obsidian throne to conclude the prologue and access the full game. Players receive the Omen’s Sigil artifact, which amplifies weapon-swap onslaughts, enhances projectile attacks, and grants +1 Vigor. Failed first attempts can be retried via the Visual Codex’s Guidance Archives (Square/X button input), enabling methodical refinement of your approach.
