One dedicated Nexus Mods user has introduced a new mod to ease the challenges of Elden Ring Nightreign's solo play by improving the player's HP, FP, and stamina scaling. Elden Ring Nightreign launched on May 29, and since then, many players have struggled with the game's demanding solo mode. Fortunately, this mod offers a helping hand for those tackling the game without a premade team.

Nightreign was a surprise announcement at The Game Awards 2024, introducing a standalone expansion within FromSoftware's critically acclaimed Elden Ring universe. Elden Ring Nightreign has already achieved significant commercial success, selling over two million copies on its first day. Despite strong sales, the game has received mixed reviews on Steam, with many players expressing dissatisfaction with certain mechanics—particularly the difficulty of solo play. This new mod aims to address some of those frustrations.

Nexus Mods user Keiran1925 has released the "Better Player Scaling" mod, which aims to alleviate the challenges of Elden Ring Nightreign's solo mode. The mod enhances HP, FP, and stamina scaling, making the experience more manageable. Additionally, it increases the player's damage output by 30–40%, with scaling adjustments broken into five tiers from level 1 to 99.

Keiran1925 suggests pairing this mod with Elden Ring Nightreign's seamless co-op mod for an optimal experience. However, the modder warns against using it in standard online play, as this could lead to a ban. Players are encouraged to install and use the mod offline and to back up their regulation file before making any changes.

FromSoftware has acknowledged player feedback and announced plans to improve Elden Ring Nightreign's solo experience in an upcoming update. These changes include an Automatic Revival Upon Defeat feature and increased rune rewards. Beyond solo play, players have reported performance issues such as framerate drops, screen tearing, and crashes. While FromSoftware works on fixes, Keiran1925's mod provides a temporary solution for solo players awaiting official updates.
