How to Restore FP in Elden Ring Nightreign

BBG News

In the game titled Elden Ring Nightreign, you’ll encounter a unique 3-player cooperative experience that enhances Elden Ring’s captivating world exploration, combat mechanisms, and challenging but fair boss battles. A resource you’ll frequently find yourself needing more of, particularly on a spellcasting character, is Focus Points (FP). These are the points used to cast spells and activate weapon skills, making their replenishment vital for your progress in the game.

In contrast to Elden Ring, the game Elden Ring Nightreign doesn’t provide players with a Cerulean Flask at the beginning for replenishing their crucial blue resource. Instead, players must depend on items scattered throughout the world, environmental effects, and the abilities of specific Nightfarers (such as the Recluse) to restore their FP consistently. This guide will delve into all the ways players can regenerate their FP in Elden Ring Nightreign.

Passing a Site of Grace

As a gamer, I always make sure to approach a Site of Grace when I can, as it’s my go-to spot for fully restoring both my HP and FP. It’s a life saver in between battles and exploration, offering a quick and dependable way to refill my FP when I need it most. But remember, during the heat of combat or while delving deep into the game world, other methods on this list will be more practical to use instead.

In Limveld, you can find the Sites of Grace using a map, which makes it straightforward to locate them during your journey. They are identifiable by their radiant golden light, and they’re the unique spots where you can invest Runes to elevate your character’s level.

Using Plants in the Environment

while exploring Limveld, you’ll encounter plants that can replenish your FP upon interaction. These plants have a white body with light blue foliage and emit a glow, making them conspicuous as you traverse Limveld. You can engage with these plants without hindering your speed, allowing for swift FP restoration while on the move. Players of Elden Ring might recognize their resemblance to crystal buds, which were integral in the creation of certain magic-based consumables.

Be on the lookout for peculiar plants as you traverse Elden Ring Nightreign, as they often provide positive outcomes such as healing HP, replenishing FP, curing ailments, or increasing Runes acquisition.

Using Starlight Shards

In the course of your gameplay, Starlight Shards are often discovered when opening crates or chests. Consuming them restores a good portion of your Focus Points (FP). If your gaming strategy heavily involves spell-casting or employing weapon arts, it’s crucial to gather these shards whenever possible and maintain an adequate stock for emergency situations and especially for boss battles.

Having some of these items readily available is particularly beneficial when preparing for the battle against the Nightlord at the end of every expedition, as they can help prevent a shortage of Fighting Power (FP) during the most challenging fight of the expedition. Additionally, it could be wise to gather a few throwing knives or Kukris while you’re smashing crates and barrels; this may prove useful if your FP depletes, and you require an alternative weapon for distant combat.

The Recluse’s Character Skill & Ultimate Art

At the outset of every journey, The Solitary one carries a staff, primarily relying on magic as her combat tool. This might lead you to assume she’d have difficulties managing FP (Focus Points). Fortunately, her inherent ability, “Elemental Defense,” enables her to replenish her FP whenever she takes in residual energy from elements. Upon utilizing her Character Skill following an attack that inflicts Magic, Holy, Lightning, or Fire damage, she can absorb the “residual energy” from that strike.

In simpler terms, the character, known as the Recluse, stores Affinity Residue and uses it to trigger her special ability, called “Magic Cocktail”. When she absorbs Affinity Residue, she regains FP (Focus Points). This means that whenever an attack of the specified damage types is used close to her, she can restore FP. This applies not only to attacks from other characters but also to her own spells, if she activates “Magic Cocktail” shortly after they connect. In essence, this allows her to recover some of the FP spent on casting the spell initially and simultaneously charge up “Magical Cocktail”. The “Magical Cocktail” ability offers various beneficial effects depending on the type of Affinity Residue she’s absorbed, so this FP refund will also aid in setting up powerful attacks.

In the grand scheme of her artistic creations, “Soulblood Song” serves a dual purpose: it assists her (and her allies) in rejuvenating Fighting Power (FP). Upon activation, hostile entities within proximity will be marked with a Blood Sigil. Whenever an enemy bearing this mark is assaulted, the aggressor acquires both Health Points (HP) and FP. This means that teammates of the Recluse will significantly profit from her Ultimate Art. The “Soulblood Song” functions optimally when employed against resilient adversaries such as Omens or bosses.

Cerulean Crystal Tear Flask

Should fortune smile upon you during your travels to merchants in Limveld, you might find yourself in possession of the Cerulean Crystal Tear Flask. This one-time use item restores Focus Points (FP) when activated, serving as a significantly stronger alternative to the Starlight Shards discussed previously. Due to its scarcity, accumulating it can be challenging, but for characters who heavily rely on FP such as the Recluse or Revenant, it’s definitely worth acquiring whenever possible.

A noteworthy item to consider at merchants is the Cerulean Hidden Tear Flask. This artifact momentarily makes all FP costs zero when activated, enabling you to employ strong spells and weapon skills without fretting about their FP cost for a brief period. When combined with spells that can be sustained to inflict massive damage, such as Comet Azur, Crystal Torrent, and Gelmir’s Fury, it remains just as potent as ever.

Passive Effects and Special Effects

In your travels through Limveld, you might stumble upon items such as weapons or charms, which have properties that aid in the recovery of Focus Points (FP). These properties are frequently passive, meaning they restore FP when critical hits are landed, sequences of attacks are achieved, or at a gradual pace over time. Such items are indispensable for any build heavily reliant on FP, so do remember to pick them up whenever you spot them.

The special effects derived from dormant power can also share similar characteristics, meaning that with a bit of luck, you can replenish your Fighting Power (FP) effortlessly by making use of these abilities. Dormant Power may manifest when particularly formidable adversaries are defeated, and it will always materialize following the defeat of a boss, so to maximize your chances of finding a beneficial special effect for your strategy, focus on taking down numerous challenging opponents.

Because Dormant Power offers weapons too, it’s another effective method for locating arms with advantageous properties, as we touched upon previously in this part. Weapons and skills that boost maximum FP are particularly valuable for character builds that heavily rely on spells or focus on a potent weapon skill.
