Elden Ring Nightreign Unveils New Everdark Sovereign Boss: Darkdrift Knight

2025-06-25 02:11:27

FromSoftware has revealed the next formidable Everdark Sovereign Nightlord boss coming to Elden Ring Nightreign - a terrifying enhanced version of the Darkdrift Knight that promises to test even veteran players' skills. The original Elden Ring took the gaming world by storm in 2022 with its brutal combat and punishing bosses, and the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion in 2024 continued this legacy of difficulty. Now, Elden Ring Nightreign carries forward this tradition with its own unique challenges.

Launched in May 2025 as a cooperative spin-off, Nightreign replaces the familiar Lands Between with a procedurally generated realm called Limveld. The game recently saw a significant surge in player activity following the introduction of Gaping Jaw, the first Everdark Sovereign boss. Now, FromSoftware prepares to unleash another nightmare upon players.

Through Elden Ring's official Twitter account, developers confirmed the next Everdark Sovereign would be Fulghor, Champion of Nightglow - a supercharged version of the already formidable Darkdrift Knight. This centaurian nightmare will arrive in Limveld on June 26, 2025, at 4 PM CEST / 7 AM PDT / 11 PM JST. The announcement came with a cryptic warning: "Only thunderous radiance shall still the sacred echoes of the Night," suggesting players should prepare thoroughly for this encounter.

The Challenge of Everdark Sovereign Fulghor

The community reaction has been mixed - while some players expressed excitement after enjoying the previous Everdark Sovereign battle, others acknowledged needing practice against the standard Darkdrift Knight first. The centaur's charging attacks in particular require precise timing to counter effectively.

Everdark Sovereigns represent Nightreign's ultimate challenge - enhanced versions of the game's eight Nightlords designed specifically for expert players. To access these battles, players must first defeat the standard version of each Nightlord. Successful completion rewards Sovereign Sigils, a valuable in-game currency, making these encounters worthwhile for those brave enough to attempt them.
