Unlocking the Raider’s true strength in Elden Ring Nightreign requires navigating a multi-stage remembrance journey, as detailed below. Mastering this path enhances gameplay significantly through exclusive rewards.

Initiating the Path

Start by selecting the Raider class during expeditions. While Sentient Pest missions work well, any target suffices. Early success is likely given the Raider’s combat prowess.

Focus efforts on storming central castles during daylight hours. Eliminating formidable foes like Banished Knights or Crucible Knights yields substantial rune rewards. Accumulating these resources rapidly boosts character levels, crucial for reaching Tier 15 progression benchmarks.

Expedition Strategies

Dominating castle structures often yields dual legendary armaments per run alongside rare items. Victory against Noster Wisdom during these missions unlocks initial remembrance quest objectives plus access to Duchess and Revenant characters.

Chapter 2: Braided Cord Trials

Post-expedition, activate Chapter 2 via Round Table Hold’s journal. Interact with the Iron Menial NPC and accompanying monument to initiate trials. The initial challenge involves defeating the One-Strike Gladiator – a straightforward encounter for seasoned players.

Upon victory, present the acquired Torn Braided Cord to the Menial. Subsequent monument interactions and portal activation finalize this phase, granting a potent relic that elevates the Raider’s capabilities.

Prerequisites: Chapter 4 Access

Progress hinges on defeating multiple Night Lords with the Raider. While targets vary, prioritizing undefeated foes accelerates progression. Note that Augur adversaries prove challenging for melee builds – consider equipping Iron Eye accessories for ranged advantages.

Chapter 4: Chalice Trials

Secure the Iron Menial Scroll through dialogue, then commence the Blinding Elder Lion confrontation. This fierce opponent demands precise dodge timing and optimal use of character abilities. Successful completion rewards the Raider’s Chalice, a versatile relic with universal slot compatibility.

Final Chapter: Black Claw Trials

After conquering three distinct Night Lords, access Chapter 7 via shoreline activation. The White Horn duel tests combat mastery – maintain distance, exploit jump attacks, and evade mist-enhanced abilities. Second-phase aggression creates offensive opportunities.

Epilogue: Remembrance Garb

Post-victory interactions yield the Black Claw Necklace (epic-tier relic) and exclusive cosmetic gear. Visit Round Table Hold’s wardrobe section to equip new visual customizations, completing the Raider’s transformative journey.
