Nightreign Relic Guide: Conquering Every Nightlord Boss in Elden Ring

Discover powerful relics for Nightreign boss fights, turning tough challenges into manageable wins with strategic, game-changing gear and tactics.

Ever since Nightreign dropped, I've been obsessively grinding relics like a goblin hoarding shiny trinkets. These socketable game-changers turn impossible boss fights into manageable challenges - or at least, deaths you can laugh about later. 😂 Remember sprinting away from Tricephalos with zero stamina? Yeah, relics fix that nonsense. But here's the kicker: most players waste time farming random Small Jar Bazaar rolls before understanding elemental weaknesses. Why stab a fire-weak boss with frost damage? Don't be that Tarnished!

Best Relics For Tricephalos

Gladius handed my butt to me repeatedly until I discovered his dirty secret: holy damage melts him like butter on a forge! Since you can't bring other Nightlord relics here:

  • Holy Starter Weapon Relic = non-negotiable (upgrade it Nights 1-2!)

  • Edge of Order (Ironeye remembrance): Spawns with holy bow 🏹

  • Night of the Fathom: Chug estus to heal allies during his AoE spam

Weakness Static Relics
Holy Damage Edge of Order, Night of Fathom

Pro tip: Turtle necks from the pre-boss merchant plus shared item relics = unlimited stamina for running from his triple slam!

Best Relics For Gaping Jaw

Adel's poison vomit animation is comedy gold 🤢 - but only if YOU trigger it! Key strats:

  • Night of the Wise (from Sentient Pest): Guaranteed poison/scarlet rot starter

  • Endurance relics = mandatory marathon gear

  • Shared item benefits = chug turtle necks as a team for infinite sprints

Crucial Stats Why?
Endurance + Stamina Stop gasping mid-chase!
Ally Item Sharing Team turtle power = zoomies 🐢💨

Best Relics For Sentient Pest

This moth dude HATES fire more than I hate platforming sections! 🔥

  • Night of the Beast (free from 1st Tricephalos clear) = fire weapon

  • Stack magic resistance like your life depends on it (because it does!)

  • Ignite wings for that sweet, sweet stagger animation

Seriously though, why's a moth casting soul arrows? Some FromSoft designer was definitely sleep-deprived...

Best Relics For Augur

Lightning or bust! ⚡ No static relics give lightning starters, so:

  • Farm Nightlord kills/Small Jar Bazaar for RNG blessing

  • Ironeye archers = lightning rod MVP

  • Sleep resistance relics = avoid becoming a naptime casualty

  • Shared flask healing = group huddle survival tactic

Fun fact: Augur's lullaby attack once put my whole squad to sleep simultaneously. We looked like a dormitory raid gone wrong!

Best Relics For Equilibrious Beast

Libra's Frenzy weakness taunts us since frenzy starters don't exist (yet?). Workarounds:

  • Poison/rot relics for passive damage during spell phases

  • Stance-breaking boosters = interrupt her reality-warping nonsense

  • Madness resistance = avoid becoming a raving loony

That moment when she stands still begging for poison? Chef's kiss! 👌 Perfect rot-applying opportunity.

Best Relics For Darkdrift Knight

Fulghor's lightning vulnerability is poetic justice! ⚡

  • Lightning starter weapon (RNG grind required)

  • Night of the Fathom (from Augur): Share pre-fight physick buffs

  • Lightning resistance = don't get zapped by your own strategy

Pro move: Pop team buffs in the fog gate. Walking in juiced up feels like cheating (the good kind!).

Best Relics For Fissure In The Fog

Caligo the frost dragon ironically fears fire 🔥

  • Night of the Beast = free fire starter

  • Frost resistance relics > armor upgrades

  • Vigor stacking = survive breath attacks

Who else tried frost damage first? raises hand Lesson learned: dragons don't care about thematic consistency!

Best Relics For Night Aspect

The big bad demands holy damage. Period. 🙏

  • Holy weapon starter = carry your weight

  • Ultimate cooldown relics = emergency revives

  • Defense/HP = avoid one-shot humiliation

Why does the final boss look suspiciously like a Glintstone Dragon cosplayer? Inquiries ongoing...

Ready to stop dying pointlessly? Stop rolling random relics and target these boss-specific upgrades! Farm those remembrance quests, visit Small Jar Bazaar strategically, and share your most hilarious Nightreign fails below. What relic combo saved YOUR sanity? Let's swap horror stories! 🗡️💀
