Elden Ring Nightreign masters somehow beat every single boss and encounter in the entire map in one run: “To do this, I assembled my team of nerds”

by

Fans of FromSoftware games are drawn to them like bees to nectar. Recently, streamer Bushy gathered a group of enthusiasts he calls “nerds” to attempt completing an Elden Ring Nightreign map within the time limit before the circle closes in on you. Remarkably, they succeeded in their endeavor.

In this video tutorial, Bushy explains that what he’s about to discuss is quite challenging. It’s not recommended for those who are merely playing for enjoyment. However, if you’re curious about the intricacies of the process, Bushy provides a detailed explanation on YouTube.

Initially, the team determined the definition of ‘finishing the map’. They concluded that they had to activate all potential Sites of Grace by conquering every Evergaol, field boss, camp, fort, cathedral, ruin, and lastly, the central castle’s natural spawning points.

For this strategy, the optimal map would be Mountaintop, as it offers the least number of Sites of Grace, along with just one formidable boss, Bushy, and his companions, who are known to present a genuine challenge for even seasoned adventurers, particularly the colossal frost dragon Caligo.

In total, the group needed to clear 31 Sites of Grace in 29 minutes – which is a pretty tall order.

As a gamer, I found myself pondering over which Nightfarers would serve me best in my upcoming quest, and let me tell you, it wasn’t as straightforward as it seemed.

Bushy explains, “Instead of focusing on characters with the greatest potential for damage over time, we aim for ones that can perform well right away, although they may not always reach their full potential.

It’s not ideal to have Duchess and Recluse in your team since they begin quite sluggishly but become more potent over time. Unfortunately, Three Executors also falls short because their effectiveness doesn’t increase proportionately as Nightreign progresses through his days. In contrast, the Raider is a reliable choice due to his ability to deal high damage from the start and maintain that strength as time goes on.

In the end, they chose two Raiders and an Iron Eye. At last, a victory for the archer faction.

To fully witness the team implementing their creative ideas, make sure to watch the entire video. Trust me, it’s an impressive spectacle.

Bushy advises that if you play the game as it is now, it might get quite technical or ‘nerdy.’ He suggests not to follow that approach.
