The Deep of Night, also known as the Deep Night is a gameplay mode in Elden Ring Nightreign, included in an update that launched on September 11, 2025.
Overview[]
The Deep of Night is a ranked game mode that offers greater challenges with increasing difficulty to veteran Nightfarers who have braved the Night's Tide many times. Enemies are stronger than usual, the target Nightlord cannot be specified, and Shifting Earth changes are not reflected. Exclusive rewards such as Depths Relics and weapons with multiple additional but also detrimental effects can appear. Difficulty increases with each descent, and ratings fluctuate with wins and losses, directly influencing the Depth (levels 1 through 5). Increase rank through victory and journey deeper into the infinite Night.[1][2]
