Elden Ring Nightreign: The Forsaken Hollows DLC Brings New Nightfarers, Bosses, and Shifting Earth
Elden Ring Nightreign: The Forsaken Hollows DLC adds two Nightfarers, The Dreglord, new bosses, and a Shifting Earth to Limveld.
FromSoftware and Bandai Namco Entertainment have pulled back the curtain on the first major expansion for Elden Ring Nightreign, the standalone multiplayer co-op survival action game. Titled Elden Ring Nightreign: The Forsaken Hollows, the DLC launched on December 4 and introduces a wealth of new content, including two new playable Nightfarers, formidable bosses, a transformative Shifting Earth environment, and fresh points of interest across Limveld. The reveal offers a chilling glimpse into the twisted forces that await players in the ever-shifting realm.
Two New Nightfarers Enter the Night’s Tide
At the heart of The Forsaken Hollows are two brand-new Nightfarers, the game’s unique player classes. Each arrives with a distinct set of abilities designed to counter the escalating threats of the Night’s Tide. While specific skills remain under wraps, the DLC promises fresh strategic layers for co-op teams, encouraging players to experiment with new synergies and playstyles. These additions expand the roster beyond the original eight Nightfarers, offering veterans and newcomers alike more ways to survive the relentless onslaught.
The Dreglord and a Host of New Bosses
Leading the abominations is The Dreglord, a wounded spirit born from the souls and blood of the fallen. This grotesque entity serves as one of the new final bosses, likely encountered on the third day of a run. But The Dreglord is not alone. The DLC introduces two new third-day bosses and a slew of new field bosses that roam the open environments, ready to ambush unprepared parties. These foes are designed to test even the most coordinated teams, demanding mastery of the game’s dodge, parry, and ultimate ability systems.
| New Boss Type | Description |
|---|---|
| The Dreglord | A wounded spirit formed from fallen souls; final boss |
| Third-Day Bosses | Two new climactic encounters for the third day |
| Field Bosses | Roaming threats in Limveld’s open zones |
A Shifting Earth and New Points of Interest
One of the most intriguing additions is a new Shifting Earth, a special condition that triggers massive geographical changes to the map. These dynamic shifts can reshape terrain, open new paths, and alter enemy placements, forcing players to adapt on the fly. Alongside this, new points of interest have been seeded throughout Limveld, offering fresh opportunities for loot, lore, and danger. Explorers will need to weigh risk against reward as they navigate these unfamiliar landmarks.
