In Elden Ring Nightreign, you’ll encounter various bosses and mini-bosses as you explore. The specific bosses, known as Night Lords, you fight depend on the expedition you select before starting your playthrough.
Every Night Lord in Elden Ring Nightreign is vulnerable to different things, and knowing these weaknesses and helpful status effects is key to winning. Understanding these vulnerabilities will also help you find the right weapons and items as you explore the world.
All Boss Weaknesses Chart for Elden Ring Nightreign
Here’s a breakdown of how each Nightreign Night Lord reacts to different types of damage. A value of 0 means they take standard damage. Negative numbers indicate reduced damage, while positive numbers highlight a specific weakness for that boss.
For instance, Fulghor is damaged normally by most attacks, but it’s especially vulnerable to Lightning and takes less damage from Holy attacks. Lightning attacks deal extra damage to Fulghor, while Holy attacks deal reduced damage.
| Boss Name | Standard | Slash | Strike | Pierce | Magic | Fire | Lighting | Holy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gaping Jaw (Adel, Baron of Night) | -20% | -50% | ||||||
| Fissure in the Fog (Caligo, Miasma of Night) | -15% | +15% | -10% | -20% | +35% | -20% | -20% | |

Twitter user @darksouls_2ch shared a chart showing how much of a status effect needs to be applied to bosses the first time they’re encountered to actually inflict that effect. For instance, you need to apply 154 poison to Adel in the Gaping Jaw to make them poisoned. If a number isn’t listed, it means that particular Night Lord boss is immune to that status effect.
The initial numbers only apply when the boss first receives the status effect. After that, it takes increasingly more attempts to fully activate the effect against all bosses in Elden Ring Nightreign.
| Boss Name | Poison | Scarlet Rot | Bleed | Frostbite | Sleep | Madness |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gaping Jaw | 154 | 154 | 541 | 154 | 154 | – |
| Fissure in the Fog | 252 | 252 | 252 | 541 | 541 | – |
| Darkdrift Knight | 154 | 154 | 154 | 154 | 154 | – |
| Tricephalos | 541 | 252 | 252 | 541 | 154 | – |
| Sentient Pest (Scorpion) | 252 | 154 | 154 | 154 | 154 | – |
| Sentient Pest (Moth) | 541 | 154 | 154 | 154 | 541 | – |
| The Shape of Night | – | 252 | – | – | 541 | – |
| Heolstor the Nightlord | – | 252 | – | – | 541 | – |

How To Get Weakness Weapons & Items for Nightlords in Elden Ring Nightreign
You can find weapons to help fight the Nightlords on each expedition in a few different ways. Before you start, you can choose specific Relics that add elemental damage to your initial weapon, making it useful even if you don’t find anything better. This starting weapon will be a common one, so be sure to upgrade it with a Smithing Stone 2 found in the Mines.
Once you start an expedition, prioritize finding weapons and useful items. The map shows buildings and locations marked with elemental symbols, which tell you what kind of elemental weapon you can earn by defeating the boss in that area. You can also find Grease and Pots by breaking crates and boxes – these are particularly helpful for all Nightfarers, and especially beneficial for the Scholar class.
