Unlocking Every Achievement in Nightreign
Getting all the achievements in Elden Ring: Nightreign might sound intense, but it’s much more approachable than earlier FromSoftware titles. If you’re aiming for that Platinum trophy, this guide walks you through the most challenging achievements and how to efficiently complete them. Whether you're just getting started or wrapping up post-game content, this guide has you covered with tips for character selection, secrets, raids, and more.
Defeating All Main Bosses
A large portion of trophies is tied to beating the main bosses in Nightreign. Make it your first goal to take down every major encounter. These fights are not just essential for achievements but also help unlock key areas and items needed for further progression. Most achievements won’t trigger unless all major bosses are cleared.
Conquering the Crater
One of the trickier achievements is tied to exploring the Crater. This isn’t accessible right away. It’s best to start this on Day 2 of your playthrough. Approach it from the north side and expect some resistance, including a gargoyle and a falling star beast. You can skip some encounters, but going in with a full team is recommended.
Navigating the Spiral Descent
The Crater leads into a spiral path filled with fire monks. Keep moving downward while clearing out optional mobs. Fire monks appear frequently, and after several of them are defeated, a door opens that takes you further down. Eventually, you’ll reach the Forge, where the Magma Worm appears. Beating this boss unlocks a legendary weapon—crucial for one of the achievements.
Legendary Weapon Achievement
To trigger the weapon-related trophy, you must beat the Magma Worm and use the forge. This one often appears during the Fullgore boss fight or when a teammate already has the event activated. If it shows up during a Shifting Worlds run, head straight to it. Coordinating with your party is essential here.
Defeating Any Boss With All Characters
One of the least completed achievements requires defeating a boss with each character in the game. You don’t have to beat the final boss—any boss works. Gladius, the first boss, is the simplest choice. Harder characters like the Guardian and Recluse will be the biggest challenge here. Guardian requires timing with guard counters, while Recluse demands mastery over spell casting.
Unlocking Vessels Through the Bazaar
Some confusion surrounds the “Obtained Vessels” achievement. To unlock it, you need to buy 11 unique vessels from the bazaar. New vessels become available as you defeat Night Lords. The last set appears only after finishing the final boss. You do not need to buy the Remembrance vessel, just the standard ones tied to each character.
Tracking Shifting Earth Events
This achievement requires repeated playthroughs and patience. You’ll need to experience multiple shifting world events, and the easiest way is to play with others who trigger them. Avoid resetting with the in-game bed, as this can interfere with event progression. The spawn rate is random, so persistence is key.
Exploring the Shrouded City
This optional area becomes accessible on Day 2. Head through Nokatio’s secret gates, follow the left-hand path, then curve into the central section. Beat Estelle to get access. This path is more straightforward than the Crater and ties into achievements related to exploring all major zones.
The Night Lord Slayer Trophy
To earn this, you must defeat three different Night Lords consecutively. Fighting Gladius three times won’t count. A recommended route is Equilibrious Beast → Augur → Triphalos. Augur is especially manageable with a lightning weapon and is easier if you play as Iron Eye or Recluse. End the run with Triphalos for a smoother finish.
Clearing the Oldest Jail
This is tucked in the top-left corner of the map and is home to a legendary dragon boss. Attempt this on Day 2, as the fight is intense. It’s one of the tougher bosses required for full completion and ties into several loot-based and endgame achievements.
Changing Outfits Post-Game
After you beat the final Night Lord, new outfits become available in the shop. Don’t forget to visit and purchase them for the "Dresser" achievement. These cost 7,500 merc each and also reference older Souls titles like Dark Souls 1. Equip them from your inventory to trigger the achievement.
Reaching the Final Ending
Beating the final boss of Elden Ring: Nightreign unlocks the “Dawn Reach” achievement. This also completes the main storyline and provides access to post-game content and final gear upgrades. You’ll also trigger the “Heal and Restore” trophy if you resolve the Night Lord narrative arc. This is a straightforward but important milestone.
Finding the Sentient Pest
This is a random event but it’s part of the “Sentient Pest Raid” achievement. When you see a locust steal your level mid-fight, follow where it goes. It leads you toward the hidden pest. Use jump attacks to defeat it—it’s not a difficult fight once found. The real challenge is spotting it before it disappears.
Achieving Max Level
Level 15 is the maximum in Nightreign. Simply playing through content, especially raids and boss fights, will gradually bring you up to max. This trophy is more about time investment than skill. Using gear that boosts XP gain helps, but it’s not mandatory.
Defeating the Equilibrious Beast
To unlock “True Arbiter,” you must first defeat Libra and then take on the Equilibrious Beast during a raid. It’s an intense fight that drains both your level and health. You can either pay to recover these stats or beat the boss outright. This is not recommended for Day 1 due to difficulty.
The Rotted Woods Secret
One of the Shifting Earth achievements involves visiting the Rotted Woods. Locate the marked castle, then use the coordinates to find a specific flower. This triggers the unlock. It’s tied to a larger puzzle chain and often missed on casual runs. Check your world map often for shifting markers.
The Gaping Jaw Encounter
This boss fight is relatively simple compared to others. Just enter the arena and beat the creature using standard tactics. It’s a good pick for earning a few achievements early in a new run. Don’t overthink this one—just clear it for completion.
Augur Raid Completion
After you beat Augur the first time, watch for a bubble to spawn in future runs. This bubble can capture one of your teammates. Follow it to trigger the Augur Raid. This is one of the easiest raid events in the game, especially for magic-based builds, and gives you an upgrade to flasks that also restores FP.
Unlocking the Fell Omen Raid
Only half of players unlock this raid, mainly because it’s highly RNG-based. It can trigger after any boss fight, so just keep playing. Avoid repeating Gladius too many times in a row. You’re more likely to see this event trigger during mid-to-late game bosses.
Collecting High Rarity Equipment
The “Set and Steadfast” trophy requires filling every gear slot with high-rarity items. This includes:
-
Weapons (blue or purple rarity)
-
Two talismans
-
Support items (smithing stones, buffs, etc.)
Ensure every slot has a qualifying item equipped. This one becomes easier as you accumulate loot in longer sessions. You may need to temporarily upgrade or swap gear for this to register.
Acquiring All Flasks
Flask upgrades are scattered throughout the game and tied to specific raid and zone completions. Most can be found in hidden chests or awarded after boss fights. Make sure to fully explore side zones and return to vendors after major milestones to purchase any missed upgrades.
Remembrance Items Clarified
There’s some confusion about whether you need Remembrance items for full achievement completion. You don’t need them for the “Obtained Vessels” trophy, but they do enhance your weapon and magic options. Pick them up if you want variety, but don’t worry if you miss one or two—they’re optional in terms of Platinum.
Key Characters That Need Mastery
Some characters are more complex to master, and achievements often require you to use each effectively. For example:
-
Recluse – High damage but tough for beginners due to spell timing.
-
Guardian – No dodge roll, requires guard counter mastery.
-
Exeutor – Can apply frostbite, poison, and bleed, great for damage stacking.
-
Revenant – Slight learning curve, but great mobility.
If you’re struggling, look for guides tailored to each character. Mastery makes the tougher achievements more manageable.
Final Thoughts: Stay Persistent and Play Smart
Earning every trophy in Elden Ring: Nightreign requires a solid mix of boss strategy, character proficiency, and awareness of game events. The most important achievements are tied to exploring optional areas, defeating multiple Night Lords in a row, and mastering the intricacies of your build. RNG-based raids like the Fell Omen and Sentient Pest can be frustrating, but patience and party coordination help.
Use Day 1 to explore, get familiar with bosses, and unlock basic characters. Save more complex fights like the Oldest Jail, Equilibrious Beast, and the Crater for Day 2. Don’t forget to revisit vendors, manage your loot, and equip high-rarity gear before going after the set-based achievements.
If you're aiming for the Platinum, this guide should give you everything needed to get there.
Final Conclusion
Getting the Platinum trophy in Elden Ring: Nightreign is completely doable with a solid plan. Focus first on completing all boss fights and unlocking the core areas like the Crater and Shrouded City. Take your time with characters like Guardian and Recluse, as they require different playstyles.
If you're aiming to complete every raid and uncover all shifting world events, patience will be essential. Many of these events are random or triggered by other players in your session. Don’t rely on shortcuts like resetting with the bed unless absolutely necessary.
As long as you consistently explore, coordinate with your team, and upgrade your gear, you'll get every trophy. Stick with it, and the Platinum will be yours.
