A New Elden Ring Nightreign Mod Gives an Early Glimpse at Its Enhanced Bosses

FromSoftware has cryptically teased "enhanced fights" against the big bosses of Elden Ring Nightreign, due to arrive sometime this month. But one modder has found some already real building blocks for the new fights, and made their fights playable in the process.

On June 3, the official Elden Ring account confirmed that, alongside Nightreign's DLC (arriving later this year) and the upcoming Duo Expeditions option, Nightreign would be getting "enhanced fights against existing Nightlords" starting this month. No more details were shared, but it clearly acted as a Bat-signal for people to start digging.

Modder TerraMag (as spotted by PC Gamer) managed to find the boss content currently in the game, and built a mod to make it accessible. Importantly, these are unfinished versions based off the enhanced sets already found in the files.

Notably, what TerraMag found (and documented so far in YouTube videos) seems to be third phases for a number of the Nightlords, including those like Adel, Libra, and Caligo. These can introduce new moves, new models for the bosses, and any number of new ways to annihilate Nightfarers.

Of course, these are unfinished and not officially implemented, so it's only a glimpse at what could be when the enhanced fights arrive sometime this month. For those already getting weary of the existing boss runs, though, this might make for a decent challenge, and a reason to dive back into some more runs in the ever-shifting Lands.
