Confronting Fulghor, the Darkdrift Knight, in Elden Ring Nightreign can be daunting unless his sole vulnerability is targeted. Unlike many foes, this adversary has a single critical flaw. Securing the required elemental alignment either through in-game discoveries or initial equipment proves vital for victory.
Track the Everdark Sovereign’s timetable to anticipate subsequent boss appearances and resurgences.
Exploiting Fulghor’s Vulnerability

Lightning-based attacks are Fulghor’s primary weakness. This vulnerability is indicated on the Expedition interface for both regular and Everdark Sovereign encounters. Possessing such armaments simplifies the battle but doesn’t guarantee victory, as the knight remains formidable.
Acquiring Lightning-Infused Armaments
Two primary methods exist for obtaining lightning-enhanced weapons: utilizing relics or expedition discoveries. Equipping a relic that grants inherent electrical damage to your primary weapon provides reliability and upgrade potential through Smithing Stones, eliminating dependence on chance drops.
Alternatively, locating map markers with lightning symbols ensures weapon acquisition from defeated foes, though these may lack attribute synergy or manifest as casting implements rather than traditional arms.
Regardless of acquisition method, wielding electrical armaments enables effective exploitation of Fulghor’s weakness. Maintain offensive pressure while managing positioning to overcome this formidable opponent. Additional strategies for conquering Nightlords can be found through dedicated resources.
