AnonymousGames2025-07-176510

A new update for Elden Ring Nightreign is now live on all platforms, and while it's a small one, it addresses some frustrating bugs concerning the Everdark Sovereign Sentient Pest fight. The roguelike action RPG has been a hit since its release in late May, and the game's developers continue to add polish and content to Elden Ring Nightreign, ensuring that the experience is kept fresh and enjoyable for players going forward.

Revealed during The Game Awards 2024 and serving as a spin-off of Elden Ring, Elden Ring Nightreign tasks teams of three players with exploring the world of Limveld and defeating a powerful boss over three in-game days. The title sold two million copies on its first day and recently saw a huge player count spike on Steam, as Elden Ring Nightreign now features Everdark Sovereign boss encounters, which are more powerful versions of past bosses. To unlock these enemies, players must first defeat their normal difficulty counterparts, and Everdark Sovereigns rotate in pairs each Wednesday to keep things fresh. Now, FromSoftware is addressing a frustrating issue with the most recent addition.

Elden Ring Nightreign Breaks a Classic FromSoftware Tradition

For a game full of references, Elden Ring Nightreign has avoided FromSoftware’s biggest tradition for its Soulslike games, and it isn’t clear why.

Patch 1.01.5 for Elden Ring Nightreign is now available for all players, with the small update entirely dedicated to bug fixes. According to the patch notes, a bug causing the battle against the Everdark Sovereign Sentient Pest to get stuck has been fixed, and players will now be able to complete the fight. Additionally, a glitch in which the boss could appear outside the battle area during the Everdark Sovereign Sentient Pest fight has been fixed. The developers recently confirmed the returning Elden Ring Nightreign Everdark Sovereigns for July, with the Sentient Pest and Darkdrift Knight appearing from July 17 until July 24. After this, the more powerful versions of Gaping Jaw and Sentient Pest will be available to take down from July 24 until July 31.

In the previous Elden Ring Nightreign update for July 2025, FromSoftware added a fix that allows players to quickly see Weapon Types in each Armament Information menu, and fixed several bugs. This included a particularly frustrating issue that caused matchmaking to continually fail after two players joined and the third left the team at the same time.

Players looking for more variety during their run can utilize the Elden Ring Nightreign randomizer mod, which has quickly become popular among the game's community. This helpful add-on adds more variety to item rewards and other features, making each playthrough feel more unique and unpredictable. Fans are eager to find out what FromSoftware has in store for future content updates, with little known about the next major patch.
