How to Play Solo in Elden Ring Nightreign

Elden Ring Nightreign is an online multiplayer game that combines roguelike elements, action-adventure, and fast-paced combat set in Limveld. The game progresses over three in-game days. As a new player, the presence of other players in your party might be overwhelming, so it’s recommended to start by playing solo to fully immerse yourself in the game mechanics and world. This guide will show you how to play Elden Ring Nightreign on your own.

How to Play Solo in Elden Ring Nightreign

When embarking on your journey in Elden Ring: Nightreign, first, you’ll need to work through the introductory phase. Familiarize yourself with the game mechanics and attempt to conquer the tutorial boss, although success isn’t required to progress. After completing the tutorial, you’ll arrive at Roundtable Hold, the central hub area. Here, you can commence your first expedition, Tricephalos. By default, Elden Ring: Nightreign will link you with two other players in multiplayer mode. If you wish to switch to a single-player experience, adjust your settings to Single Player. Here’s an easy guide to modify the matchmaking preference in Elden Ring: Nightreign:

1. Access the game’s main menu.
2. Navigate to the ‘Options’ or ‘Settings’ section.
3. Look for the ‘Matchmaking’ or ‘Multiplayer’ settings.
4. Change the preference to ‘Single Player’.
5. Save your changes and return to the game.

Enjoy your solo adventure in Elden Ring: Nightreign!

  • Go to the Roundtable Hold table and interact with it by pressing the Y/Triangle button. It will open the menu with available expeditions.
  • Press the R1/RB button to switch to Matchmaking Settings.
  • Scroll down to find the “Expedition Type” option. It will be set to Multiplayer by default.
  • Change the Expedition Type to Single Player.

Once you select the Expedition Mode as ‘Single Player’, your preferences will be adjusted accordingly. You now have the option to either exit the menu or dive straight into the expedition for an immersive and self-paced exploration of the world.

Things to Know Before Starting an Expedition as a Solo Player

Now, there are some things that is a bit different in the Single Player Expedition Type.

  1. You cannot choose the Nightfarer as you start the expedition. Make sure to select the character you wish to play beforehand, starting the matchmaking for an expedition.
  2. The foes will have less health and poise meter. However, the foes are still challenging as you are alone, and no one can revive you.
  3. Speaking of revive, the solo player will receive a free revive only during the Night Lord encounter on Day 3 of the expedition. So, if you fall to your death while facing the final boss of the expedition, you will still have one more chance. However, keep in mind that the revive does not fill up your health to max or give you Healing Flasks.

Beyond these significant variations, the general progression hinges on your preferred gameplay approach. You might opt for a brutal style, taking out as many bosses as possible to speed up leveling. Additionally, you can seek out churches to boost the maximum number of flasks and acquire crucial items.
