Weekly Nightlord confrontations refresh Wednesdays at 6 PM PT, initially featuring Adel, Baron of Night. These intensified battles introduce novel attack patterns, amplified stats, and complex mechanics requiring adaptive strategies and multiple attempts.
Initial Expedition stages mirror standard difficulty, prioritizing resource collection and weapon upgrades. Efficient pathing typically involves spiraling outward to defeat field bosses and gather enhancements before progressing inward. Central fortress areas yield valuable experience and gear when cleared.

Prioritize participating in Shifting Earth events for critical advantages. Current content shows no indications of an Everdark variant for the expansion’s concluding boss, leaving room for potential future surprises through post-launch updates.
