Mastering the Revenant in Elden Ring: Nightreign demands navigating a complex series of quests. This walkthrough details the essential requirements and strategies to unlock and optimize this formidable class.
Initial Requirements for the Duchess
Begin by conquering the Tricephalos Expedition and defeating Gladius, Night’s Beast. Present the Old Pocket Watch to the Priestess NPC afterward to gain access to the Duchess.
Visit the Small Jar Bazaar NPC afterward to acquire the Besmirched Frame. Restart your game session to activate this item’s effects.
Activating the Revenant Class
After rebooting, locate a spectral entity in Roundtable Hold’s eastern wing. Interacting with it transports you to a battle arena where defeating the Night Idol unlocks the Revenant. Prioritize eliminating phantom minions while avoiding the skeletal guardian’s area attacks. Timing Ultimate Art deployments against Wylder proves crucial for success.
Initiating the Remembrance Arc
Select Revenant as your character and access Chapter 1: Remembrance via your journal. Engage in sequential dialogues with the Duchess, Recluse, and Guardian NPCs, selecting specific options to activate personal objectives.
Fulfilling Character-Specific Goals
Personal Objectives involve completing either Tricephalos or Darkdrift Knight expeditions multiple times in co-op sessions. Equip a Godslayer Seal enhanced with Black Flame to exploit Gladius’s vulnerability to holy damage. Maintain FP reserves using Starlight Shards during prolonged engagements to ensure consistent spellcasting.
Post-expedition, deliver the Blade of Night Fragment to the Guardian NPC and use Roundtable Hold’s portal to advance. Subsequent progress may require surviving three days in Gaping Jaw Expedition before accessing Chapter 5.
Advancing Through Later Chapters
In Chapter 5, discuss “Night’s Corrosion” with the Duchess, then locate the Recluse in a new zone. Sitting on a designated bench initiates a spectral battle against Corrosion—summon allies to distract enemies while they self-destruct. Post-victory, interact with a doll and portal to obtain the multi-slot Revenant’s Chalice relic.
Final Chapter and Rewards
Replay Tricephalos Expedition as Revenant to trigger Chapter 7. Defeat the Contaminant boss using summoned allies and two-handed attacks, then watch pivotal narrative cutscenes. Successful completion unlocks exclusive cosmetics like the Remembrance Garb and Old Portrait Relic, compatible with blue/white relic slots.
Customizing Appearance and Gear
Access Roundtable Hold’s Wardrobe post-expedition to equip unlocked outfits. The Relic Rites station accommodates newly obtained artifacts, enabling diverse build configurations for subsequent challenges.
