The Nightlords are a group of primary bosses in Elden Ring Nightreign.
Overview[]
There are eight Nightlord bosses in the base game. An Expedition to hunt the boss is intiated at the Great Site of Grace at the Roundtable Hold. The Nightlords' realm is accessed through a petrified tree in a purple area of the Spirit Shelter at Noontide on the final day. They battle the Nightfarers on the final night. "Nightlord Slain" is flashed on-screen when the boss is defeated.

| Elden Ring Nightreign: The Forsaken Hollows | ||
 Balancers |

This obsessive mound of flesh, unlike any form of life ever to exist, has no obvious weakness." Vulnerable to Holy damage. |
Nightlord Weaknesses[]
Each Nightlord has a scripted weakness to a particular source of damage. For example, dealing even a small amount of Lightning damage to Maris, Fathom of Night as it channels its global Sleep spell is enough to break its stance and cancel the attack. The damage negation and status resistances for each Nightlord boss are listed in the table below. A positive value indicates reduced negation (more damage taken), while a negative value indicates increased damage negation (less damage taken). For Resistances, lower values indicate a vulnerability (faster buildup), while higher values require more buildup to inflict the Status Ailment. These weaknesses still apply if the boss is fought on Day 1 or Day 2.
- Damage Types
- +0% indicates that a boss is neutral to that damage type.
- A positive value (+%) indicates bonus damage.
- A negative value (-% -% -%) indicates that a boss is resistant to the damage type.
- Resistances
- A lower value indicates faster procs of the applicable status effect.
- The 🛇 symbol denotes full immunity to the status effect.
