FromSoftware has hinted at upgraded battles against Elden Ring Nightreign's major bosses, slated for release this month. A resourceful modder has already uncovered early components for these encounters, making them playable ahead of schedule.
On June 3, Elden Ring's official account announced that Nightreign would feature enhanced clashes with existing Nightlords this month, alongside its upcoming DLC and Duo Expeditions mode. Though light on specifics, this cryptic reveal prompted fans to investigate further.
Modder TerraMag (as reported by PC Gamer) uncovered unfinished boss content hidden within the game files, creating a mod to access these early versions of the enhanced encounters.
TerraMag's discoveries—documented through YouTube videos—reveal potential third phases for Nightlords like Adel, Libra, and Caligo. These versions introduce fresh attack patterns, redesigned boss models, and deadly new mechanics to test Nightfarers.
While these unfinished prototypes only offer a preview of the official enhanced battles coming this month, they provide veteran players with exciting new challenges in the Lands Between.
