PS4 / PS5
Elden Ring Nightreign is not a second version of Elden Ring’s platinum: its expedition structure calls for a different plan. Alternate Nightlord victories, character use, map events and objectives that must be completed within one expedition. Preparation starts before departure: choose a primary goal, adapt your relics and character, then interpret the session’s encounters in relation to that goal. This roadmap concerns the base game and does not confuse new content with the original requirements.
Base-game platinum roadmap. Expansions and additional trophy groups are separate from the main route.
- Required difficulty: No difficulty selection is required for the base-game trophies.
- Missable trophies: Expeditions are repeatable; some conditions must be met within one expedition or a run of victories.
- Online: Trophies are obtainable solo; co-op requires a connection and the platform’s online requirements.
Define the goal of your next expedition
Before departing, decide whether you want a first victory, a world event or a character objective. Changing the plan mid-session can scatter resources. Review relics and preferred weapons, then agree with other players on priority encounters rather than treating every detour as a random search.
- Choose a primary goal before starting the expedition.
Track defeated Nightlords
Nightlord Conqueror needs every Nightlord rather than an equivalent number of victories against the same opponent. Keep a list of missing bosses and adapt preparation to the next target. Replaying an expedition for equipment or practice does not automatically advance boss coverage.
- Check which Nightlord is missing before selecting the destination.
Spread victories across characters
A Champion’s Path requires defeating a Nightlord with each character. Victories accumulated with a favourite do not cover unused characters. Learn a new character’s role in a manageable expedition and record the registered victory rather than confusing unlocking the character with completing its objective.
- Record a qualifying victory for each character.
Track Shifting Earth and raids independently
Shifting Earth location secrets and raids have their own entries. Do not infer secret completion merely from visiting a location: check its specific trophy. When a relevant event is available, decide whether to dedicate the expedition to it rather than simultaneously attempting a victory requiring an incompatible route.
- Mark a secret or raid only when its actual objective is complete.
Group single-expedition objectives
Untold Power needs at least ten great enemies within one expedition; Mastery checks reaching maximum level. Also read Set and Steadfast before discarding high-rarity equipment. These objectives reward a planned session: small gains across separate expeditions do not always equal the required result.
- Check which milestones must be completed in one expedition.
Prepare the sequence of three different Nightlords
Nightlord Slayer specifies three different Nightlords in a row. Before starting that sequence, choose opponents your group can handle and track those already defeated within it. Planning reduces the risk of repeating a boss and only later discovering that the victory did not cover a different target.
- Track the sequence’s three targets without duplicating them.

Not for Nightlord Slayer: it specifies three different Nightlords in a row.
