One Year In, It’s Still Really Fun To Suck Ass At Elden Ring Nightreign

I’m really bad at Elden Ring Nightreign. Not, like, embarrassingly so, but not great. I managed to beat Elden Ring by playing an Astrologer build and using spirit summons to tank for me while I cast spells at a distance. I don’t want to learn to parry, and I take a long time to learn attack patterns well enough to dodge them. So in Nightreign, I play Recluse, or more recently, Scholar, stand back, and try my best to support my husband and my friend in our little trio to take down night bosses. We lose. A lot. Many nights were spent on Libra. We still haven’t finished the two new DLC bosses added six months ago, though you can chalk that up partially to us not playing for a while.
