What are Everdark Sovereign Expeditions in Elden Ring: Nightreign?

Challenging the Nightlords during Expeditions in this expansion demands skill, yet seasoned warriors seek greater trials. Everdark Sovereign Expeditions emerge as pinnacle challenges for elite players. Here’s a breakdown.

Everdark Sovereign Expeditions Explained

These intensified versions transform Nightlord confrontations dramatically. While initial exploration phases remain unchanged, the culminating battle undergoes significant modifications.

Take Adel’s enhanced encounter as an example. The engagement immediately escalates to what previously constituted his secondary phase, accompanied by:

  • Expanded vitality reserves exceeding 60,000 HP
  • Frenetic attack patterns with minimal recovery intervals
  • Expanded lethal zones from ground strikes
Enhanced Adel battle mechanics

The most drastic alteration introduces a teleportation sequence followed by catastrophic explosions. Deadly vortexes now persist, dealing relentless damage – appropriate for this extreme difficulty tier.

Unlocking these trials requires defeating Gladius in the Tricephalos challenge rather than completing the entire campaign. New options appear at your Expedition selection interface subsequently.
