Elden Ring Nightreign Fans Discover How To Use Rare Item, Immediately Disappointed

by

Summary

  • Elden Ring Nightreign players have finally figured out what the mysterious Core End item does, but it’s pretty underwhelming.
  • As hinted by the description, the Core End opens a stone door that can be found to the northeast of Limveld’s central castle.
  • Unfortunately, the only thing behind that door is a Sacrificial Twig, so not exactly the most thrilling to end to this mystery.

As an enthusiastic player, I must admit that Elden Ring’s Nightreign isn’t your typical guide when it comes to handholding. In fact, it’s intentionally designed this way, urging us to explore, experiment, and uncover secrets on our own. This approach is why players have only recently discovered the purpose of boluses, and that you can indeed rechallenge the tutorial boss for a unique prize after your initial defeat.

One more illustration is the enigma surrounding the Core Key, a seldom-encountered artifact that you might stumble upon during your expeditions in Limveld. It doesn’t offer many functionalities, and the sole hint about its function is the item description, which states only “Unlock access somewhere”. This isn’t very useful when you’re navigating an expansive region like Limveld.

Elden Ring Nightreign Fans Discover How To Use Rare Item, Immediately Disappointed

It’s good news for FromSoftware fans as they are now accustomed to solving such mysteries. This week, Twitter user Byf60V uncovered the real purpose of the Core End (thanks to Automaton). As hinted in the description, you can utilize the Core End to open a secret door hidden in a valley northeast of the central castle.

Regrettably, that’s as far as the intrigue and enigma of this puzzle goes, since the game doesn’t provide any guidance about where to find the door or what to do with the Core End. It’s only natural to think that solving such a mystery would lead to some fantastic reward, perhaps a potent weapon or useful charm?

Option: You won’t find either of these items here. Instead, proceed through the now open door and discover a Sacrificial Twig, an item useful for carrying your Runes without losing them, even in death. Although it can be quite handy, it’s best not to use it excessively during an Elden Ring Nightreign journey, as you may encounter a boss that proves too challenging to overcome.

In this location, there are no items for you to collect. Go through the now open door and find the Sacrificial Twig, which allows you to keep your Runes even when you die. It’s useful, but dying frequently isn’t recommended on an Elden Ring Nightreign adventure because you might face a boss that is too difficult to defeat.

As a devoted fan, I can confidently say that if you’re in possession of a Core End, you now know just the right move to make. A Sacrificial Twig might not be much, but it’s better than nothing. Despite our endeavors yielding only disillusionment, it was gratifying to unravel another FromSoftware-style enigma for a brief moment.
