Elden Ring players have recently discovered the first boss of the Nightreign update, known as Everdark Sovereign. This new enemy, part of the ‘enhanced bosses’ mentioned by FromSoftware, offers rewards through a currency called Sovereign Sigils, which will be used to acquire powerful relics and skins from a new NPC located in Roundtable Hold.
A boss who gives out more than desirable rewards
To face the Everdark Sovereign, players must presumably defeat its normal version first. Streamers like Oroboro have already shown that it is possible to confront this formidable rival solo, although it has been reported that the fight becomes more complicated when entering its second phase, where it unleashes tornadoes in the arena that must be dodged.
By defeating the boss, players obtain Sovereign Sigils, which allow them to purchase valuable relics at lower prices than those handled with the previous Murk currency. Additionally, this new NPC grants players the ability to directly initiate Shifting Earth events, a feature that previously required defeating three Nightlords, thus providing greater control over the game’s content.
With the update still fresh, FromSoftware has not provided details about other bosses that could be introduced in the future, leaving fans speculating about what is to come. This silence in official communication has kept players on edge, who are eagerly awaiting future updates that could expand the experience within the world of Elden Ring.
Meanwhile, the new NPC also allows players to make a small payment of sigils to receive alternative versions of relic rewards and light up the room in the expedition hall at Roundtable Hold, providing more options for interaction in this key space of the game.
