Forget Poison, Elden Ring Nightreign’s Everdark Sovereign Adel Has Another Weakness That’s Far More Effective

by

The game titled “Nightreign” is essentially a roguelike adaptation of “Elden Ring,” blending PvE features with the time-honored Soulsborne mechanics. In “Nightreign,” up to three players cooperate to vanquish the final boss, which occurs on the third day.

In Elden Ring: Nightreign, one of the bosses you’ll encounter is Adel, the Night Baron. Unlike other bosses, Adel has a unique vulnerability to certain types of damage. Let’s explore an effective alternative strategy for taking down Adel in this guide.

Dragonwound Grease is particularly effective on Adel in Elden Ring: Nightreign

In Elden Ring: Nightreign, players will encounter one of the formidable foes called Adel the Baron of Night, also recognized as the Gaping Jaw. Similar to other Nightlords, Adel boasts a variety of attacks, vulnerabilities, and resistances, ensuring an exhilarating battle experience.

Overcoming its dismantling isn’t a simple feat, given that Adel becomes increasingly challenging during its second stage. However, it’s important to note that Adel isn’t entirely invulnerable and does have several vulnerabilities. Among these weaknesses, the most notable is its susceptibility to Poison damage.

In the game “Elden Ring,” Adel is similarly regarded as a dragon. This designation implies that special items or abilities that are harmful to dragons would work well against him, offering a fresh tactical approach.

Managing interactions with Adel gets notably smoother once you use the item, Dragonwound Grease. When taken, this grease grants the player several benefits:

1. Reduces damage from enemy attacks for a limited time.
2. Increases the player’s movement speed for a brief period.
3. Provides temporary immunity to certain debilitating conditions.

  • Boosts Anti-Dragon and Physical attack damage for 60 seconds.
  • Physical Damage is boosted by 1.1 times.
  • Ancient Draconic enemies take an additional damage of 1.2x while Draconic enemies take 1.3x damage instead.

Dragonwound Grease, being a common item, can be obtained in several ways. You might find it dropped by defeated enemies or bosses, or possibly acquire it from Non-Player Characters (NPCs) through purchase. Additionally, you may stumble upon it hidden within chests, or even discover it lying around the game world.

Although it’s frequently available, acquiring the ‘Grease’ in the game can sometimes prove tricky. Due to its immense utility and tendency to be underestimated by many players, it would be wise to prioritize getting it as you progress through the game.

How to defeat Adel in Elden Ring: Nightreign

Here is all you need to know about beating Adel, Baron of Night, in Elden Ring: Nightreign:





  • Make sure you are healed up before the battle. Stock up on supplies and Dragonwound Grease before proceeding. Use any status buffs (including the Grease) as soon as the fight begins.
  • Adel has a rather simple moveset and shouldn’t be too difficult to deal with.
  • Have someone on your team apply Sleep on Adel. Poison is also recommended. Ironeye is probably your best choice here.
  • Keep attacking Adel, making full use of the Grease’s buffs. Make sure to avoid being grabbed by him during his initial phases. Additionally, try attacking him from the back for a ‘safer’ way to deal with him.
  • Avoid being hit by lightning attacks.
  • Bring a Frost weapon to apply Bleed.

In the DPS competition, it’s crucial to prepare with two offensive characters and one defensive one. This setup will help you significantly reduce Adel’s health, minimizing the amount of damage you’ll need to absorb directly from him.
