Action RPG

Besides the independent scene, other sources are also contributing to the genre’s growth. For instance, in late 2023, Santa Monica Studios astonished gamers by providing the Valhalla DLC for God of War Ragnarok at no cost to those who owned the main game. What made this DLC exceptional wasn’t just its free price tag, but its quality – it was genuinely good, both in terms of narrative and gameplay. Rather than being a mere add-on or cheap gimmick, Valhalla significantly enhanced the base game experience. If Santa Monica had added a few more features or embellishments, they might have been able to charge for it. In a similar vein, FromSoftware seems to be following this approach with Elden Ring Nightreign.

Locating the Brewery Cellar Key within Atomfall’s Wicked Isle DLC can prove challenging due to the menacing adversaries guarding the area. Similar to other hidden keys scattered throughout the game, the Brewery Cellar Key may initially seem absent. To obtain it, you’ll need to conduct a thorough search – quite literally. This guide provides all the essential information required to uncover the key and navigate past the bees to reach the Brewery Cellar.

Similar to past games by FromSoftware, Elden Ring Nightreign doesn’t explicitly explain many of its gameplay mechanics. Instead, it encourages players to figure out these hidden systems on their own or with help from the game’s community, as there was no dedicated tutorial section in previous titles. The opening segment of these past games functioned as a pseudo-tutorial while also providing narrative context.

In the past few days, it’s been unveiled that Elden Ring: Nightreign has been a triumph for FromSoftware, with approximately 3.5 million players jumping into the game within just five days following its launch. The developer shared this exciting news on Twitter on June 3, causing quite a stir among enthusiasts who have immersed themselves in the game. This revelation came after it was disclosed that Elden Ring: Nightreign sold an impressive two million copies on its debut day, thanks to pre-orders and initial shipments.

This patchwork-style Elden Ring: Nightreign is a veritable smorgasbord of concepts, offering numerous paths for its progression in upcoming patches. In essence, it embodies numerous mods that had previously redesigned Elden Ring’s mechanics to operate like a roguelike, making its success perhaps less unexpected. The ability of Nightreign to combine disparate mechanics underscores the robustness of FromSoftware’s design approach.

In Elden Ring Nightreign, you’ll discover details about Adel’s attack routines and the boss’ vulnerabilities that players can exploit. Knowing how to respond to its attacks, when to retreat, and how to counter its deadliest moves will significantly improve your ability to handle this Nightlord encounter.
