First off, it’s essential to persuade the Duchess to access the Revenant in Elden Ring Nightreign. After the Duchess joins your party, navigate towards the Small Jar Bazaar and acquire the Besmirched Frame. Initially, this artifact might seem costly, but typically three or four missions should generate enough funds for its purchase.
Before you can unlock the Duchess in Elden Ring Nightreign, you first need to acquire a specific item – an old Pocketwatch. This item appears to be a random drop from an expedition, and while some players have reported getting it after defeating the first boss, we found that ours dropped after repeatedly completing the first expedition. Since it seems to be a random occurrence, just keep joining the Tricephalos expedition until you obtain it. Similar to other rewards like Relics, you’ll find the Pocketwatch at the end of the expedition screen.
In Elden Ring Nightreign, you should carefully select your character prior to embarking on an expedition because once it’s started, you can’t change characters midway. Here’s how you can switch characters:
1. Press ‘Start’ or ‘Options’ (for PS4/PS5) or ‘Menu’ (for Xbox One/Series X|S) to open the main menu.
2. Navigate to the ‘Characters’ section and select the character you wish to play as.
3. Confirm your selection by pressing the corresponding button on your controller, then press ‘Continue’ or ‘Play’ to start your adventure with your chosen character!
In most FromSoftware games, the way to acquire Duchess and Revenant isn’t explicitly explained; instead, it’s purposefully made a bit confusing so that players must figure it out on their own.
Initially, Nightreign might seem like Elden Ring due to similarities, but it offers a quicker pace and greater diversity in gameplay. Unlike the original version, where inventory weight restrictions were present and character-specific abilities were limited, Nightreign provides a plethora of options. This means you can wield multiple weapons more frequently, as opposed to the rarity experienced in Elden Ring.
