Elden Ring Nightreign Mod Previews Upgraded Bosses

FromSoftware has dropped mysterious hints about "enhanced encounters" coming this month for Elden Ring's Nightreign expansion bosses. But one enterprising modder has already uncovered the groundwork for these revamped battles, making them playable through a clever modification.

Hidden Battle Secrets Unearthed

The official Elden Ring account revealed on June 3 that Nightreign would feature redesigned battles against existing Nightlords alongside the upcoming DLC and Duo Expeditions mode. While details remained scarce, this announcement sparked immediate interest from the modding community.

Modder TerraMag (as reported by PC Gamer) successfully uncovered pre-existing boss content within the game files and created an access mod. These unfinished versions showcase what appears to be the foundation for planned combat enhancements currently in development.

TerraMag's findings, documented through YouTube videos, suggest the addition of third combat phases for several Nightlords including Adel, Libra, and Caligo. These test versions feature expanded move sets, fresh boss models, and brutal new combat mechanics destined to test even veteran Nightfarers.

A Preview of Nightreign's Future Challenges

While these unfinished modifications only provide a glimpse of the official enhanced encounters coming later this month, they offer players a compelling reason to revisit the Lands Between. For those seeking fresh challenges beyond the standard boss fights, this mod presents an exciting new way to experience familiar battles.
