What are Nightlords
Nightlords are the primary bosses in Elden Ring Nightreign. Players at the Roundtable Hold can target them. As mentioned, they are the final boss that are encountered at the end of each expedition.
How Many Nightlords are in Elden Ring Nightreign
Elden Ring Nightreign has 8 Nightlords to defeat, and they can be replayed with your party. Nightlords are different from Night Bosses, and some fans have been getting them mixed up. Night Bosses are encountered at the end of each night to make it to the next day in expeditions. Each Nightlord has a roster of Night Bosses under them that you’ll need to defeat to progress in your expedition.
