Elden Ring Nightreign Confirms Date and Time for Next Everdark Sovereign Boss

by

It’s been revealed on Elden Ring Nightreign‘s official social media that there’s a fresh Everdark Sovereign iteration of a boss character coming up. Starting July 31st at 9 pm ET/6 pm PT, players will embark on the Augur expedition and potentially meet an enhanced version of Maris, the Night’s Emissary. Some Elden Ring Nightreign enthusiasts are feeling a bit uneasy about this upcoming battle, particularly those who favor close-combat playstyles.

Although the specific alterations the boss is set to undergo remain unclear, the post implies that players should continue utilizing lightning damage to vanquish it, indicating that its vulnerability to such attacks may persist.

From the heart of an endless darkness, a malevolent figure begins to awaken, aiming to extinguish all sources of light.
May your powerful blows drive this monstrosity back into its watery grave.

The Awakening of Augur: Everdark Sovereign is set for July 31, 2025 at 03:00 CEST | 18:00 PDT (30/8) | 10:00 JST.

Apart from being recognized as Augur, the game Maris is often jokingly ridiculed by players due to its habit of causing sleepiness.

User dd expressed, “It’s great to finally get started again after nearly a month of encounters with bosses we’ve already defeated.” They added, “I hope I stay awake during this tedious battle.

Melee combatants often feel a noticeable absence of enjoyment when squaring off against Maris, who frequently eludes them by escaping, making her hard to pursue. On the other hand, ranged character types had a significant edge in this battle, as the jellyfish bosses would slip away easily, favoring those with long-range abilities. Upon hearing the news of an update, certain players expressed optimism that a new phase might be introduced to enhance the experience for melee combatants.

As a dedicated gamer, I’m curious if FromSoftware managed to make this battle more engaging than the usual one. This fight is all about the foe evading me constantly, which forces me (as a melee character) to whack the gooey things that pop up from the ground or those Maris releases instead.

As a dedicated Nightrein player, I recall that not all gamers appreciated the original battle due to its perceived tedium or difficulty. However, I personally hold fond memories of that boss encounter, as it was a formidable challenge that made me feel accomplished when I finally emerged victorious.

Reddit user Xanadusu expressed genuine enthusiasm about a particular fight, especially its nocturnal and Caligo aspects.”

“Xanadusu showed real excitement about a certain fight, especially because of its nighttime aspect and Caligo.

To successfully manage Maris’ sleep area-of-effect attacks, players can strategically interrupt them before they take effect. This requires swift action upon noticing the subtle audio and visual indicators of the attack. Players with lightning damage abilities will find it simpler to halt Maris’ sleep AOE. If quick countermeasures prove challenging for individual players or their team, stacking up resistance to sleep could lessen the impact when the attack is successfully launched.

In a recent social media post, Maris has adopted a fresh dark purple appearance. This change is likely to make it harder for opponents to defeat Maris in its Everdrk Sovereign form. Historically, upgrades to the Elden Ring Nightrein (Everdark) boss have introduced extra phases and strategies that players must navigate during combat.

After a dry spell of boss encounters in the game throughout July, the arrival of Everdark Maris has finally come. I’m curious to hear your opinions on this aquatic jellyfish boss creature we’ll be facing. Was the month-long wait for Maris’ appearance deemed worthwhile by you?
