The Revenant, also known as the Night Idol, has become one of the most talked-about bosses in Elden Ring: Nightreign, challenging players with a unique blend of summons and elusive attacks that set her apart from other encounters.
Facing the Revenant is a solo test of skill, as she immediately calls forth three powerful summons: a giant skeleton, a rapier-wielding humanoid, and a hulking maul beast. Each summon has its own health bar and distinct attack patterns, making the early phase of the fight a chaotic challenge. Experts recommend isolating and defeating the summons first—since attacking them won’t lower the Revenant’s health, but leaving them unchecked can quickly overwhelm even seasoned players.
Once the summons are dispatched, the Revenant herself becomes the true threat. She’s highly mobile, frequently dodge-rolling and casting dangerous spells like Lightning Strike and Discus of Light. Players are advised to watch for her casting animations, as these moments offer the best windows to land critical hits. Her attacks are mostly linear, so strafing and well-timed dodge rolls are key to survival.
Defeating the Revenant rewards players with the Crown Medal, a crucial item for progressing the Duchess’s questline. For those seeking to unlock her as a playable character, victory in this fight is essential.
With her combination of relentless summons and unpredictable magic, the Nightreign Revenant stands out as a memorable and rewarding challenge in Elden Ring’s latest expansion.
